Paul worked a part time job too. He was a box boy at Albertson’s Super Market in Orange Grove. Bette and I had planned to stop by there on our way home after our dinner tonight. I suddenly decided to go there instead of the French Restaurant. She was too stubborn to go there, anyway. Just like she was too stubborn to call. And yes, so was I but she was the one who dismissed me and she was the one who would have to come around.
At least that was the way I hoped it would play out.
I drove to Albertson’s, picked up a few groceries and chose to check them out where Paul was bagging.
“Hi mom!” he said with a big smile, when he saw me at the check stand. He was a darkly handsome young man, tall and gangly, who wore his hair slicked back, exactly the way Charlie did.
I greeted him as usual and when he asked if I would like help out with the groceries, I said I would.
He pushed the cart to my car while we chit chatted about Charlie. He was telling me about a girl who had just moved here from Chicago who had eyes for Charlie but he was not at all interested in her He said Charlie called her “Cheeky“ because of where she was from and because she was so aggressive. I made lame comments back but kept looking for a segue into the drug thing. I knew I did not have much time with him.
“She hangs out at Lamppost when ever he works there,” he was saying with a laugh.
I forced a follow up chuckle and then added, “Hey, speaking of Lamppost, I’m really curious about something.“
“Yeah? Wha’s up?“
“Well, when I was still at home, Charlie used to come in at night after work kind of wound up and he was that way the other night when we had dinner together. In fact, I never saw him so hyper and I‘ve been wondering why?.“
“Wound up? Hyper?”
“Yes, like he was talking a mile a minute and that’s not like my Charlie.”
I was totally aware of Paul’s reaction and there definitely was one. His eyes darted right and left, as if he was suddenly looking for an escape route.

Hi, Sissee, this is my first comment of your story, I just wanna say that I really adore your work, especially the “After Yale” part. I love your beautiful, pride, stubborn, hot tempered, young Bette. B&S’s split brought tears to my eyes, but I knew it had to happen due to the characters’ personality. You made it so sad and true, just like the real world– Love tears people apart. “After Tina” didn’t move me that much, it’s hard for me to like the third season’s storyline, but you still did a good work. Glad to see Bette found her way back to Sissee again, as time passes by, they grows and learns, i am hoping they can love better this time.In the past two days, I clicked “Next Post by This Author” button so many times that I lost count, better later than never, now I finally catch up on the lastest update. I feel great admiration for Sissee the author, thank you so much for sharing this amazing story. PPS! :))))))
dancemaple, Another interesting name. Glad to have you here and thanks for your post. Thank you for liking the Yale part. I’m sorry you weren’t as fond of the After Tina series. I happen to have loved that Maui trip and having Bette and Sissee falling in love all over again. It was a pleasure to write, especially when they made love under the coconut tree and couldn’t bare to say goodbye at the LAX airport. You have me smiling as I picture you starting this story from the beginning and clicking on “Next Post By This Author” over and over again. I know there are more than a hundred chapters already. Well, I’m happy you made the journey to this time and place and I hope we will hear from you again
Kbergin47, Thank you. There is a very good reason why Bette is not returning Sissee’s calls and it really has nothing to do with their fight. As for the extra pages, ideally I prefer just three pages and that’s what I do when I can. Sometimes however, I can’t interrupt the story line just because I have three pages so I have to go on. Whoo Hoo backatcha!
wow sissee..that was so deep and touching..hopefully bette will help too..but nice update…howie is gonna strangle charlie..patient for the nxt chapter..to good
I do believe Sissee is a very smart and concern mother. She knew where to find out her son’s problem – his buddy, and strategically probe what kind of drug Charlie’s involved in, and what kind of trouble he faces. Well, I certainly hope that Bette will put down her pride and return the call to Sissee. They need to put their head together and help out Charlie. Howie may be a hot head to solve this type of a problem. I don’t really trust him as a good and supportive father. His cop mentality sometimes frightens me (remember about his view of gays?)
Gummy Bear, There’s a lot of drama coming up on both Bette and Sissee’s side. I had a busy day today and I haven’t been here to “mind the store” but it looks like we’re in for a new chapter. Coming up soon.Thank you.
Bette’s Babe, Thank you for your valued opinions. I like how you kind of talk it over with yourself and share the results. Both Bette and Sissee need to swallow their pride because there’s trouble a’brewing!
bombastic bully, Thanks for being here again. Like I said above, Bette has something brewing too. Never a dull moment between these too.
Bette and her pride. Hmph! I certainly think she wouldn’t be able to ignore Sissee when she already said please. Oh Charlie, what happened to you? Tsk, tsk… It was once again a very beautiful chapter. Thanks! PPS!
Good Chapter. At least now Sissee knows what Charlie’s been doing. The hard part will be telling Howie & confronting Charlie & hopefully getting him some help. I hope Bette will swallow her pride & give Sis a call soon. 5 pages today, Woo Hoo!
