    Round n Round We Go (Ch.15)

    She squinted, a gesture that told me she was not happy with my correction. “Oh really, he is my son too, I have every right to tell him what to do and call him what I want.” Now she pointed a long finger to the boy, and raised her voice by a notch.

    To my poor boy, it was almost like a yelling, an accusing. He hid himself further into my arms and peeped at the tall woman. That was what I had been afraid of, Bette not knowing how to be around her child.

    “Yes, yes you have the right. But you’re scaring him! Angelo, it’s all right, honey. Go find uncle Billy and play with him. I’ll be right there.” I walked my son to the door and reassured him with a squeeze on the shoulder. He ran off, still shaken up. I turned around, turned on the light of my office, and took a deep breath to face her again.

    In the light, I got a clearer look of her. She seemed worn out, dark circles under her deep eyes. Her face lost all of its youthful baby fat and now it became more angular, less healthy, I thought. The vertical lines in between her brows got deeper. But there were no lines at the corner of her eyes or lips, telling me that she truly didn’t laugh. She didn’t grow too much taller, probably half an inch or so, but definitely thinner. Those bony shoulders threatened to tear apart her suit. Even just standing there, eight feet away from me, I could see the veins on her neck, and her heartbeat jumping slowly, unaffectedly in it. Her condition got me nervous. Seven years ago, I was worried that someday, when I couldn’t be around her to cook for her, remind her to eat, she’d not take care of herself. And that someday had come.

    Tears quickly accumulated in my eyes, but I swallowed them almost instantly as I shifted on my feet, played with my old watch. She said, loud and clear, that I had no right to cry in front of her ever again. I wouldn’t cry.

    I forced myself to look at her, stare into the dark eyes, saw the dancing flame of anger and accusation in them. She was still mad, I concluded.

      My dear readers!
      I just did a major change in my story telling. I changed from third person perspective to first person POV!
      How do you like it? I want to know if you prefer this writing technique to the old one. It’s okay if you’d like me to return to third person view point. I’ll just rewrite this chapter and the next one.
      And I know there are questions unanswered, things unresolved. But things will gradually work out.
      Thank you for reading and please, COMMENT on this one because I need your direction.
      Peace

      • woo!now I see the big picture here! You’ve handled well with the child part, so can we see the duo have some passionate action next chapter? I am hanging and waiting, thanks for the adequate updating!

        • Passionate action, huh, well, maybe not the next chapter immediately but soon, I guarantee.
          There’s just so many emotions and complicated issues between the two.
          I hope you’ll enjoy this more. I’m actually improvising here.

        • Oh, I think I’ve read her stories. But lately I don’t have much time reading fanfic. I don’t know why, just have been busy here and there.
          I won’t disappear for two whole months, nevertheless! :)

    2. You did a great Job writing in first person! For me, i like third person versions more, but you don’t have to re write for me. I love the story and will read it in the version you give it us.

      Wow, Bette was so cold, but i hope Angelo will warm her heart.

      They are still married? Hmm…

      Can’t wait for their diner meeting on Monday.

      • Thank you very much for the encouragement!
        Bette is a bit heartless as she comes back. But kids, they have the power to capture one’s heart in no time. She will come around and set things right between her and her son.
        Yes, still married. They have so much history together and it’s kind of difficult for them to give that up.
        I hope you’ll continue to enjoy!

    3. RT,

      The Past was kind of Bad, the Present is Slightly Good but the Future of Bette, Tina and Angelo seems going to be Better :)

      Thanks for posting.

      • The past has some good memories in it, the present is complicated, the future, I promise, will be sweeter.
        Thanks for reading and commenting!

    4. That was great and the kid are so smart and cute, like him. Wow they still married, what a surprise, hope they will talk more and get to know each other again. Please post more, thanks

      • Yes, the kid is great! I wish I could have one of those in the future haha.
        They are still married, and a lot of unresolved issues in their relationship.
        Things will get better!
        Thanks for commenting.

    5. Threw me for loop completely. I would love to really the aftermath from when Bette heard Tina and her father conversation I mean after all these chapters thats what we been waiting for and the story just turn….but Shit I like this too I dont know I want it to be the way you written at first but its your choice and you are a brilliant, exquisite writer, I trust you lol!

      On the other hand wow Bette was a lil mean but can you blame her for the way she treated Tina, I still can’t believe how many chances Tina had to tell her and didn’t, and Marcus died awe how sad, I would love to see them have another baby but im thinking ahead, and can’t believe Tina still in touch with her dad but family is family.

      I guess im going to just see where this goes and enjoy every moment of it.

      • I know, it’s kind of a surprise isn’t it?! I was going for that kind of effect, actually. Besides, I can’t really go on with the confrontation anymore. That was just plain painful.
        Bette is really mean here. She has her reasons to be, and you’re right, Tina not telling her the truth on so many occasions is one of them.
        Marcus, oh I am sorry about him, too. But… to serve the plot…
        They still can have another baby. Just it’s really too long in the future for them to talk about having another kid. They got to get back together first!
        But it will all happen eventually!
        Thanks for commenting. And I wish you’ll enjoy it more!

      • Thank you! You are very kind.
        Ok, I’ll continue in the first person for more chapters and maybe I’ll return to third person perspective in later chapters!
