Side Effects Chapter 8 – THERE ARE ALWAYS HOPES

Tina: “yes, I think it is Henry…, I’m fine, thank you, I was worried for you all, when I learned about the shooting…, thanks for guiding my people, I owe you, B”
Brenda: “oh, it was nothing, that’s what friends are for…, and I hope we could be very good friends and perhaps more”
Tina: (awkward) “thanks B, you are very nice”
Brenda: “honey, you are stressed, I think you have to relax, you are all the time in the lab, working…, look I have an idea, why don’t you come with me this Friday night and I’ll make you relax, we could do things together all the weekend”
At this point, Bette was about to leave her hiding place to storm in the conversation, and Tina knew it, so she decided to softly cut Brenda’s advance, at least for now.
Tina: “thanks B, but unfortunately I have meetings with Maura and other researchers this weekend, but we could do that in other time”
Brenda: “work on weekends? Tina, baby, you are crazy…, I have to do something about that…”
Tina: “I feel overwhelmed by your concern B, but duty calls, we talk about that later, girl”
Brenda: “okay honey, don’t work too much and call me, you have my number, I’m 24/7 available for you”
They part from each other with another kiss on the cheek; Tina walked slowly, waiting for Brenda to disappear and then walked directly toward the tree where she knew her ex, was hidden.
Tina: “Bette…, what are you doing there?”
Bette: “didn’t want to interrupt your conversation with your new girlfriend”
Tina: “new girlfriend…? I was just talking with Brenda…, she is not my girlfriend, she is just a colleague…, and also a friend as are Kate, Sam, and my interns…, what are you talking about?”
Bette: “well, maybe you don’t see it, but in Brenda’s mind, you are her love interest”
Tina: “don’t be ridiculous she only wants to be nice”
Bette: “okay, if that is what you want to believe…, but I strongly disagree…”
Tina: “anyway, what were you doing here…?”
Bette has changed her mind, she doesn’t want to talk with Tina…, not now, maybe later; her relationship with her ex, though peaceful, is still far from what she wanted, but now her heart is aching and her self-esteem is hurt, she doesn’t want Tina’s pity.

Wow, I’m the first. Thank you for bringing back the amazing story, finally something good between Bette and Tina, please make their wedding come true with peace and unharmed, hope that Imhotep will fall very soon! Hope you can keep going! Can’t wait for next chapter.
Hi Laurel:
Sorry for my late response, and thanks for your nice comment.
Yes, the wedding will come in a couple of chapters, but about the peace and unharming is another story; strong couples, deep loves are always tested; but remember, there are always hopes and that gives us the strength to keep going on and succeed.
Now, today I can tell you I’ll post soon.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting.

I can’t believe it, i am not the first one to comment ????????
So glad that you found the time to update. And finally some good news for our girls. Laurel J.H. already mentioned it, let their marriage come with peace.
There must be a way to stop that creep Don Kennard and his helpers. I hope they get what they deserve when they are able to catch them. But please don’t let get Tina and Bette hurt.
Great update, thank you proteonomics!
Hi Bibi:
Thank you, my friend, for your comment.
As I said, the wedding will come, but with many things along; you know I wanted to post three days ago, but I wasn’t ready, as I explained to you; but I’m in the verge of finishing it.
The next chapters will clarify things about our couple and the others, the entanglements will be deconvoluted, so just remember there are always hopes.
Thank you again Bibi, I’ll post soon.

Hi SG:
Thanks for your patience, and comment.
I’ll post really soon (from this day on). Our girls have a lot to do now that they have opened their hearts to each other; at this point, I’ll say there are always hopes.
