Sleep eventually found me, but when I opened my eyes again, it felt as though I hadn’t slept at all.
“Mommy?” That was when I realized Angelica was in front of me, confused. “Are you okay, Mommy?”
I couldn’t help but smile, pulling myself up to sit. After explaining that sometimes I liked sleeping on the couch, we had breakfast together. When I checked the time, and saw that Bette was already due at work, I became concerned. She hadn’t even woken up yet.
This time, I knocked. “Bette?” I asked gently, almost hoping she would remain asleep. There was no answer, so I slowly inched the door opened, listening for any sign that she was up. Before looking in, I asked again. “Bette?”
Still no answer.
As I eased the door opened, I had to smile. There she was in all of her beauty, laid out across the entire bed. Her wild hair splashed over the sheets, and her lips parted just so, I could have swooned over the image all day. Anyone could have, because her beauty is so absolutely artful.
I closed the door behind me quietly, stepping over toward the bed with my one hand over my mouth and the other reaching out. Gently sitting on the bedside, I moved one of her strands of hair from her face and just watched her sleep for a moment.
With one pant leg hiked up to her knee and her shirt scrunched up by her waist, I could see she had struggled quite literally with her sleep. Just watching the angelic look on her face brought a warmth to me, and I was so glad that she had found some peace in the night. Was this how she always slept? If so, I wished I were able to see it more often.
Finally, I found the strength to wake her, and she thanked me a number of times before I let her alone to get changed for work. I smiled at the kiss she had given to my cheek in the whirl of her thankfulness, touching the very same spot with my hand as I headed back to the kitchen.
She left the house in a hurry with a grateful smile, grabbing an apple on her way out. What an excellently wonderful start to the day. Angelica and I even went for a walk to the nearest park, and had ourselves a little picnic before heading back to the house and preparing for dinner.

Oh deary me…….yes: MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE please!!!!!!
Great update. Now they know how each other feels and I’m so glad that they have told each other how they feel. Tina needs to start divorce proceedings while the husband is locked up and can’t get out. Two things: we don’t really know anything about Bette’s past and we don’t know how the husband found them. LA is a very large city and he couldn’t have been just lucky to find Tina going in a store. Hopefully they won’t be bothered by him again but I know that is just asking for a miracle. He is not good enough to just leave her alone. All abusive men want to kill their wives or girlfriends. Why, I don’t know. Hope we can get some of these questions answered. Thanks for posting.
I too am curious about Bette’s life before Tina and Angelica. I’m sure you’ll get into that later. Thanks for the awesome update GR :)
I don’t remember her friends being so critical of Tina on the show. Bette seems so fragile and sometimes morose. Great story. PPS.
GR, you really are one of the best writers out there and I love each and every one of your stories. Thank you for sharing them with us. :)
Finally caught up with this wonderful story. I hope the husband is gone for good.
i love this story looking forward to the next post
Hey, What a fabulous story you are developing here. I adore the connection that Bette and TIna have instantly had. After everything that Tina has been through, she should not be willing to open up to someone. The fact that she can is testament to her capacity to love. I can’t wait to read more as their relationship along with Bette and Angelica’s grow stronger. I can’t wait to follow you. As always, you rock my world and re-establish my fiath. Many thank yous, Your Loyal Fan and Friend.
I love this story too! I hope Bette follows her heart and stops listening to her friends.
need more of this story, asap (and thank you in advance)
Just read both your updates. Love this story. Thank you.
great update… but i am getting worried… the time is passing and soon that BASTARD will be getting out of jail… i also wondered how he found her… maybe he was going through her phone book at home and found her friends address from college and waited… good thing he doesn’t no about bette… i was also hoping they would move… he is like a bad penny… he will be back… lets hope tina will stand up to him and not just take what her dishes out… pps
Woderful story.Thank you.
This is so good and love the story. Please post more, thanks!
I’m loving this story. I wonder how was the life of bette in the past before Tina appear in your life. Will it come up more drama than the concerns of the friends of Bette, Tina will look for a job. Hahaha so many questions. I love drama, with a happy ending, of course. More, more…….
