“Did I cheat on Candace, no I did not. Did I want to? I might have…”
Throughout all this, Dana and Shane looked on with amused but puzzled smiles.
“There you go, Bette. You don’t have to be such a
saint all the time.” Shane chided with a laugh. “You’re among friends,
let out your naughty side.”
“Yeah baby, let out your naughty side.”
Bette looked at Tina in alarm. While on the surface,
Tina’s words seemed light enough, Bette heard the undercurrent of
something dark… and it scared her.
“So you guys, do you believe in soulmates?” Tina
asked the group. Bette tried to warn everyone telepathically of the
impending explosion of Mount Tina but the girls were all psychically
impaired.
“Nope. Sorry, Baby, but I don’t.” Alice said
emphatically before taking a huge bite out of a jelly-covered bagel.
“Yeah, I agree. I don’t believe in soulmates either.” Dana retorted.
“Are you asking me too?” Shane asked with a quirk of her upper lip.
“Yes I do.” Bette declared and challenged Tina with a pointed stare.
“Really? And how would you know if someone’s your soulmate, as opposed to someone you’re just *****?”
Bette gasped at Tina’s crude word. The whole
table finally noticed that there was something going on other than
lighthearted breakfast conversation. Shane excused herself to go to the
bathroom. Alice and Dana both said they had to pee too and quickly left
the table.
“Tina?”
“How do you know, Bette? Do you feel the pain of
having your soul separated from its mate? Is that how you’re feeling
right now?”
“But you’re right here!”
“Smooth one Bette.” Tina laughed bitterly.
Bette sighed deeply and reached for her purse.
“I was going to set us up a romantic weekend… take
you to a cabin in the mountains or something… maybe skiing even…
but I guess now is as good a time as any…”
Bette handed Tina a couple of thick letter envelopes.
“What are these?” Tina asked suspiciously.
“Plane tickets to Canada.”
“Why would I want to go to Canada?”
“To get married.”
Tina stared at the envelopes and then back at Bette.
“Get married in Canada? Why in Canada?”
“Coz it’s legal there.”
“Why not Spain or even Massachusettes?”
“Spain’s too far away and Massachusettes wouldn’t give us federal recognition.”
“Uh?”
“I wouldn’t ask someone I just ***** to do this with me, would I?”
“No… I guess not.” Tina was shocked and pleased. “But Bette, you do know that it’s probably too soon…”
“Oh, I know,” Bette waved off Tina’s concern. “I’m
not in a hurry. I just thought we should be ready in case we decide to
just do it.
“You want to be ready in case we spontaneously decide to get married?”
“That’s it.”
Tina smiled achingly at Bette, feeling like an ***** for her behavior the past night and this morning.
When the rest of the girls came back to the table,
they saw Bette and Tina giving each other syrupy sweet looks.
“So did we decide whether you wanted to cheat yet or not?” Alice said loudly, trying to distract the pair.
“Let me put it this way, Alice,” Bette responded,
taking Tina’s hand and kissing the back of it softly. “If I’d met Tina
back then, I would’ve been with her. Anytime, anywhere I would’ve been
with Tina. You know why?”
Alice rolled her eyes and pretended to vomit. “She’s your soulmate. We know. We know.”
Bette and Tina burst out laughing. Tina secretly replaced the envelopes in Bette’s purse.
“For later.” She whispered to Bette with a wink.
“Forever.” Bette whispered back.
The End

that was close one…whew…i hate candyass already and we’ve never even met her in this story LOL…excellent update as always…the girls almost ruined it for B&T though, i think Bette needs to have serious talk with Alice soon
Another good story 7PM. As the others say I will read anything and everything you write. Keep writing!
Good story. You know you can write any story you want about these 2 and I love to read it. Ok let see the another one coming, thanks!
7 Iam not a happy bunny THE END did you not mean TBC, PLEASE Oh PLEASE TBC I love this stoy
I dislike someone saying.I”ll think about it,that means NO Are if someone will I’m no sure that is a maybe. Love Bette in this,Alice always has her foot in her mouth.. thanks
When I read ‘Candace’ in the first couple sentences I had to regroup. Then I remembered that she is an integral PAST part of your B&T story. …all is well…Thanks, and keep up the stand-alones. They help me bridge the gap from your delightful first story to your next wonderful one. (no pressure, I’m sure!)
ditto on hansen’s comment. keep trying. keep writing. I’ll be reading.
Al sure has a way of messin’ with Bette. She always puts her foot in her mouth, but Bette’s always the one having to explain or regroup afterwards. Tina’s upset with Bette’s past relationship with Candance — thought she agreed to leave the past in the past? Tina’s not playing fair…but then again “all’s fair in love and war.” Please continue.
Man! *Exasperated sigh* your storied are so good that I want them to go on and on and never end! MOORRREEE!!! Please?
Incredibly GREAT!
heyyyyyyyy.i’m first! LOL.. as interesting as ever..amazing!
I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when Bette explained what the tickets were for. I’m glad they’re not rushing into it though as they both probably still have a ways to go before doing the forever thing. Can’t wait for the next installment!
“… but the girls were all psychically impaired.” LOL
I’m not really crazy about this story, but your writing is excellent and so is the idea behind these stand alone. What I don’t like is Bettes past with “The fucking carpenter” LOL and Tina is not very nice in this…poor Bette. But please continue and post soon – thanks.
Ha! never trust women. when they say ‘yes’, ‘it’s ok’ or something like that, it always means not ok. But it’s so cute, heehee.I love the short story, so sweet, thanks.
7 you can write about these 2 any time and I’ll love it I’m sure. I love your Bette.
You had me worried for a bit, but left me grinning like a loon! Thanks
