Saturday Morning Scheming (Time of Day 28)
Shane held the phone, waiting patiently for it to ring.
Standing beside her, Bette was anything but patient.
“Tina?”
Shane gave a smile and nod to Bette confirming that she was, indeed, at home. “Do you have plans or anything?”
With that, Bette began to pace the room, waiting, as she could hear what Shane was saying, but wasn’t sure of Tina’s responses that came in the pauses in between.
“Yeah, I can understand the housework thing.” Shane nodded a few times. “But, it’s a nice day out, I was thinking of heading out, grabbing some take out. I thought I could maybe stop by and see how little A’s doing.”
“Uh huh. Yeah, just me. Paige is busy with some stuff.”
“Yeah, yeah, that works. Okay. I’ll see you in a bit.”
With that, Shane snapped the phone shut. “We’re set.”
“Do you think she suspects anything?” Bette bit at her bottom lip as she asked, trying to keep the nervousness from her voice.
“Bette, if I called up and said I was bringing you lunch, would you suspect something.”
“Okay, so she suspects.” Bette began to pace again. “But will she suspect it’s me?” Asked aloud, ignoring the obviousness of that question.
“If she does, even better. It means she’s okay with you doing something.”
“I suppose you’re right,” Bette agreed. “And your friends are all ready to go?”
“Are you kidding?” Shane smiled. “They rarely get offers this good that don’t end up being something sleazy.”
“She’ll like this, right?”
“She’ll like this.”
“Okay, then. I’ll go grab the food and meet you at Tina’s in about thirty minutes.” Bette put a hand on Shane’s shoulder. “Thanks for the help here.”
Shane responded with a nod. “See you there.”

Hmmmm…sounds like the groveling could be taking a creative form. Very well, let the groveling begin.
Why am I picturing Shane’s friends as a mariachi band outside the window? Perhaps I need more sleep.
Ha! Looks like I beat you by a millisecond, Lamentamini. Maybe because I just took a nap.
I’m hooked. What’s the plan, and what do Shane’s friends do? Can’t wait for lunch.
Tease….
Damn you are a Big Tease!!! I can not wait for lunch. Thansk PPVS
Hey Pseud, Good to have a new post from you but it is way, way, way too short. Things were just etting started when it ended. Now I really can’t wait to see where it leads. Will this be the beginning of a softening of hearts and melding of minds. I do hope so. Yes, there is a lot to work through but hard work never kill anyone. The rewards and spoils will be so worth the effort. Loving you easy style. These chapters just flow along like the Amason; strong and steady. Thank you for this short afternoon delight. Your Loyal Fan.
While everyone else might think you are a tease, I’m thinking you are mean. Did anyone in high school ever call you a “mean girl”? Just wondering…please post soon, grovelling is so beneath me…
Please post soon, pretty please?!
Awwww man…I was just getting into it. Missed you…hurry back. love this story!!
OK…just checked again, hoping against hope, that perhaps you would grace us with a second chapter tonight…please, please, please, please, post soon!!! You have many of us crazed to see what Bette is up too!!! (I hope you are happy, I am now offically groveling for the next chapter!)
wishing bette a success in her plan
pseud – you’ve got me I’m hooked and you are serving it out with a teaspoon – give a girl a break and use a soup spoon puulease???
I can’t wait to see what Bette has up her sleeve. I think she is really going to have to work for it but in the end they will come together.
Yep, Bette that is the way to go. Take into your own hands and fight for what is right for you.
That was so not fair.Lament that was funny.Sleep what’s sleep.
Strippers! Yay! Just kidding. Just glad to see an update. Wonder what Bette has planned. Thanks.
SO SHORT…
sometimes those best laid plans…. still loving this story. thanks.
DAMN! JUST WHEN IT WAS GETTING GOOD. PLEASE POST SOON OR TODAY AGAIN :o)
What a tease. Something planned… but what? At first I was thinking something odd because of the sleazy comment. But maybe it is a day to pamper Tina since Shane knows people from salon’s.. or something. Can’t wait to see whatever it is.
Ooooh! Right, what is it? What do Shane’s friends do? What has Bette got planned? The mention of the word “sleazy” has me completely intrigued… I hope the next post is really soon, pseud. Thanks!
Hope Bette’s plan work!
