The Burden of Control – Chapter 14
Bette: We’re almost there. It’s just a place I like to come
to every now and then.
They pull up to the
parking grounds of
Well manicured green fields interspersed with the occasional shady palm tree
and bench stretch before them. A group
of kids are playing softball in one area off to the right, but other than that
the park appears relatively empty.
Tina: We’re going to a park?
Bette: I well I though that it might be fun. I mean(pauses
then sighs) I’m an idiot. Hold on, give me a minute. One of the managers at L’Orangerie
is a client of mine. I’m sure he can get us a tablewe’d just have to give
ourselves enough time to get dressed and
Tina (interrupts) Bette wait. I wasn’t saying the park was a bad idea. I
was just surprised is all.
Bette: I’m doing this all wrong. I should have taken you out
to dinner somewhere nice.
Tina: No, really. I kind of like this. (grins) It’s just not
your ‘typical’ first date location.
Bette: (sighs) I feel like a total idiot.
Tina: Please don’t. I’d really like to stay.
Bette, somewhat
reluctantly exits the car. The park had
seemed like a good idea.in theory, that is.
Ok, maybe it wasn’t a good idea in theory either. Bette knew how to ‘wine and dine’ with the
best of them. Why on earth did she ever
think that coming to a park would be a good idea? Well Tina wanted to stay so
it looked like her idea, good or not, was going to be put to use.
Tina: So what now? Do
we find someplace to eat?
Bette moves towards
the back of the car and opens the trunk.
She pulls out a blanket and an old fashioned wicker picnic basket.
Bette: Well I um brought lunch. (pauses) A picnic, if you
will.
Tina: You made lunch?
Bette: Yeahwell I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I made a
little bit of everything.
Tina: (smiling) Everything?
Bette: Well sandwiches mainlysome cold cuts, tuna saladnothing
too heavy.
Tina: What if I told you I was a vegetarian?

tibette—glad to see you back. I have missed this story. Don’t let S3 get you too down. I am supporting the show and I think I am actually coming to terms with B & T. I still have hope that they will find each other again…and I always have authors like you…who will make us happy in the end. please post soon.
seems they are progressing so slow, B&T need to talk more, tina still have feelings for bette, post soon, don’t make us wait
You’ve returned! Thanks for continuing the story, even if you were nudged into doing so. This chapter was definitely worth it. I do hope we won’t have to wait another couple of months before the next post. :-)
Don’t get discouraged by season 3 at this point there is nothing we can do to change it but you have a story you want to write continue on in the direction you intended and give us readers something to look forward too!!!!
Great chapter. Looking forward to the next one.
Just caught up with your story. It is incredibly sad, but wonderfully written. Hope you are able to update more often. Thanks!
Oooh I’ve missed your story. hope they find their way back together. please post soon
yay im glad you are back!. Nice chapter..maybe Tina’s dream was a way to get her attention to Bette…she soo needs T right now. I hope she tells T about her illness because although the girls will be there for her..who she really wants by her side is Tina ;) Post soon!.
So glad you posted really missed this story. Tina’s dream was so loving and full of promise, and to “wake up” realizing it was only a dream…UGHH. Tina needs to talk to Bette. She needs to tell her about the baby. Don’t get discouraged about S3, who knows where all this drama is going to lead. Please update soon and thanks for the story.
Great, you’re back now on with the show!
This is good!
