Round n Round We Go (Ch.20)
It was a good sign that the brunette put up some weight during the last two years. Tina nodded in approval.
“I’m eating better, you know. Guess hiring a Chinese cook has its perks.” Bette went on about her chief that she dug up from a local diner in Beijing whose herb lamb soup and steamed chicken were just as cleansing as meditation. She knew that she was rambling about this tiny detail in her life, but she received Tina’s a hundred percent attention. It was something she missed significantly, having the attention from those mild eyes like sunlight on the Scottish highland, even if her story was so insignificant. She dared to look at Tina in the reflection of the mirror. “Man, Chinese people know their food. Oh, and he even makes me chai tea.”
“Really?” Old Sue used to serve chai tea to her visitors in the neighborhood. She was quite famous because of that.
“Yeah, really. It’s crazy good. He learned it from a ‘supreme Indian guru’, well, at least that’s what he told me…” Bette saw the little sparkle in the blonde’s eyes shine for a second, and quickly dim again. “Tina,”
“Hmm?”
Bette turned around and looked into the dimmed eyes. “I’m so sorry for your loss.”
“It’s your loss, too.”
“Yeah. I know.” Despite the fact that she was not around for a long time, she missed the old woman. “Bathroom’s all yours. Go clean up that mascara. I’ll be down stairs.” Bette caressed the woman’s face and walked pass her. It was almost as if she couldn’t stand the pressure in the room.
The day officially started by talking and making final decisions with the caterer. They worked separately in the gallery and exchanged little conversation, like the old days when they had a big show coming up. It was not at all heavy, in the contract, Tina was relieved to have someone who really knew what she was doing to help her with all the last minute arrangements.
The caterer, Charlotte, was Shane’s new dig. So the skinny brunette stalked into the gallery earlier than she was supposed to and surprisingly ran into her old friend.
The two of them didn’t speak much. It was how they were, not speaking much. Yet it was not exactly how it felt to be in each other’s presence. They had a hard time to put a finger on the strange air hovering on top of them, but surely, they both came to the conclusion that over time, they just grew apart.

To my readers who appreciate my work and are patient to wait for my posts, thank you very much.
You see now, it’s all going to turn well. And I know there are still issues unresolved, like Bette’s illness, I will get to that very quickly.
I know, I’ve been dawdling for a while. But it’s the World Cup! And I have not missed a single game, and that’s a new record. The fever is running pretty high in my country. Hope you can all enjoy the games.
I have so enjoyed this story! This chapter was filled with many issues. I love that everything finally dawned on Bette. Please let them heal and grow old together. Thank you for your gift of writing!
The issues are resolving gradually but surely. I assure you that they will have a nice ending.
Thank you so much for the supportive comment. I truly appreciate it.
My God! it was breathtaking.
Worth waiting all these days by this chapter, was iincrivel!
My Congratulations, I love this story.
Note: Actually here in Brazil we are living and breathes football, and you
can imagine how the party in this country.
The Brazil literally stops when our national team plays.
I hope that your selection proceed to the next phase.
(Excuse my English, it is not my official language.
I’m from Brazil)
God I love soccer so much! And Brazil has done really well with this year’s World Cup. I almost shed tears when Neymar injured his back and was sent to the hospital. Such a shame.
I hope you can enjoy more.
And probably one day I’ll pay a visit to Brazil. It just seems dreamy, the beaches, the sea, the stunning girls in bikinis ;p
RT,
Football is not really big here in our country so I can’t really relate with you guys but I hope that you and mscully are really enjoying the world cup fever :)
As for the update, I am happy about Bette’s realization. Hopefully they will be able to resolve their issues. Clearly Kate can’t match BP so it was good that she decided to leave TK.
Thanks again for the update.
Love love love!
I’m really enjoying it, and it’s seriously gotten in the way of my sleep.
I’m real jealous of the residents in the western hemisphere now :P
Yeah, I never thought somebody would be as good as Bette for Tina, and frankly I didn’t like Kate Arden, even in the show. She’s cool tho, as long as she keeps to a distance.
You’ve been real supportive.
Thanks thanks thanks!
I know, not often I write a comment, but I read each chapter.
I’m really glad that the story is out in the direction of Bette and Tina :)
They need to discuss and solve a lot of things, but I trust in the power of love!
Bette finally realized what happened with Tina, and she made the right decision that what is really important in her life.
I look forward to the sequel!
You really get me! Yes, she finally came to the realization of what is important in her life, not money, not work, definitely not her father…
And now in the next chapter, they’re facing a crisis. So keep your belief in the power of love.
Thank you for the comment. It means a lot.
Thx love your story. We will wait for your next post. But please don’t take to long.
Did I take too long? Sorry if I did.
It’s been a great journey and you’ve been very nice.
Thank you for the comment.
Oh gimmie a break, these two are a emotional ride….but I cant get enough!
Hahaha, sounds like you’re enjoying the ride! Anyway, if you can’t get enough, then I have a goal to give more, don’t I.
