The Burden of Control – Chapter 9
Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she left the
relative safety of the bathroom and headed back over to her table. She sees
Bette sitting there, talking animatedly on her cell phone, one hand absently
rubbing the bridge of her nose. Tina recognized the familiar gesture as one of
irritation. Maybe now isn’t the right time to unload her little secret.
Bette (on the phone) I don’t care James. Tell
himTell him that she dropped it in my ***** lap an hour ago. He can’t expect
me to get it done by closing. I brought it with meFine put him through.(pauses)
morning. No. I can’t. I’m busy at the moment. I understand the importanceno I
can’t, I’m sorry. Look you’re yelling at the wrong person. No. This wasn’t my
responsibilityyes, I’m well aware of my position. That’s unrealistic. Yes.
Look if you needed it done by today, she should have given it to me before
that’s none of your business. I’m off the clock now. (looks up and sees Tina
standing by the table) Uh look, I have to go. I’m sorry. Fine. Goodbye. (she
hangs up and closes her eyes for a moment. She opens them and smiles as Tina
once again sits across from her)
Tina: Trouble?
Bette: Nothing too bad.
Tina:
Bette: Yeah, well he wasn’t. Some extra paperwork was
dumped on me last minute and I decided to table it until tonight. Apparently
Tina: Because you came here to see me?
Bette: (shrugs) It’s wasn’t that big a deal. I’ll just
finish it when I get back to the house.
Tina: You should have said. We could have made other
arrangements.
Bette: It’s ok, really. Ium wanted to see you.
Tina: Oh.
Bette: Look TinaI know that we have a lot to talk
about. And I’m willing to discuss
anything with you. I just
Tina: Just what?
Bette: I just wanted to know where I stand.
Tina: I don’t understand what you mean.
Bette: Well the last time we had a conversation, you
wanted to discuss dividing our assets. Is that what this is? Are we here today
to finalize our separation?
