Round n Round We Go (Ch.15)
The person pushed in and smiled at me. We looked at each other, scrutinized each other, and then I walked over to embrace him. I hadn’t seen him in three months. The last time he was here, well, he was running some errand in the Porter’s real estate division of LA. He looked a little beaten and gained some weight, probably because of the stress working under… her.
He had grown out a thick beard and had heavier sideburns. “So, how’s Michelangelo? That little one doing good in school?”
“Yeah, sure. He’s so smart. I’m proud of him. And, he decided that he wants to go by Angelo in school.” I said, smiling again and let him see the picture of Angelo on my screen.
James tapped his chin as he always did. “Wow, he really starts to look like Marcus, you know. I don’t think I’ve seen a six-year old this tall.”
The mention of Marcus, my dear friend, the father of my step son, made me sullen. I tried to seem unaffected but tears still welled in my eyes. So I changed the topic. “Care to tell me what business you’re doing in town?”
“Uh… Tina,” He stroke his beard and struggled with words. “She… Bette’s flight is tomorrow afternoon ’round four. She wants to see about the new acquisition with Shaolin.” James peeped at me as if he felt intimidated.
Bette… How long since the last time that name was brought up to me? Too long, I guessed. Though everybody had the agreement with me to not give me any information about her, avoided to talk about her around me, referred to her as “boss” or “the woman”, still, I thought about her every now and then, every single day. That was inevitable, for the whole fucking internet these days knew what she was doing, where she was, who she was with, how she was doing. It was inevitable that I bumped into the information about her. Right now, she was in Beijing. But she was a private person, mysterious even. Within a whole business page discussing her new achievement, and the tabloids gossiping about her on-and-off romantic affair with Jodi Lerner, Phoebe Cadlek, and some married woman Kelly Wentworth, there had been no formal pictures, interview fragments whatsoever. I suspected that the Pieszecki media group had something to do with it. Sometimes a vague profile of her in the car, sometimes a silhouette of her walking into a building, but never a high quality picture with her eyes looking directly into the camera.

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.
And I am reading “down to earth ” by browneyedgirl28,and she hasn’t updated it for nearly two months ,soooo frustrating!
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! :)
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!
Well Bette is a bitch, but I understand that, but pleas you have to sort that. Please please.
Haha she is kind of bitchy in this chapter.
I will absolutely make her come around to her senses.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Nice….a little disappointed by the turn of events, but I’m sure there are happier days ahead!
Yes, that I can guarantee! Thank you for reading and commenting!

Won’t be long! I’m working on it!

Thanks for commenting! Please continue to read and enjoy!
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!
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.
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!
I understand Bette.Thank you for the update,PPS
Yes, she has the reasons to be mad. But she’ll come to her senses.
Thank you for reading and commenting! I’m working on it.
I love the story and will read whatever version you choose to write.
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!
