The Flower Effect – Chapter 4
Alice over the years had thoroughly enjoyed teasing this “new” Bette, and Shane smiled as she remembered how Bette would often appear displeased at Alice’s antics, but with a whisper of a few words from Tina, a smile would return to her face, and she would appear to be much calmer. Tina always had that calming effect on Bette.
As they continued to sit in silence, Shane remembered many a day, when one or the other would do something and Shane would sit back and watch them thinking “too fucking cute”.
Tina had also been lost in her own thoughts, when she had looked over at Shane and noticed the smile on her face. She sat back and asked “What are you smiling about?”
Shane looked over at her friend. “You.”
Surprised, Tina looked at Shane and pushed for more……”Me? What did I do that’s so funny?”
Not really wanting to give away her thoughts of the memory that had triggered the smile she replied “It’s nothing.”
“Shane…come on….tell me what’s so funny? Did I spill something on my shirt?” Tina began to worry and gave herself the once over checking her clothes to ensure that she had not.
Shane sat chuckling softly to herself. “Tina…..it’s ok…you didn’t spill anything on yourself.”
Looking back over at Shane, Tina then asked again “OK…that’s good, but what’s so funny then?” No response from Shane. “Come on Shane spill it….what’s so funny?”
“You are.”
“Me? Why am I so funny? I didn’t say anything, or do anything?”
“Exactly, that is what is so funny.”
“OK…..now I’m really confused Shane.”
“Don’t be…it’s nothing bad.” Seeing the worried look on Tina’s face, Shane continued “You really want to know what I was thinking about?”
“Yeah Shane, please tell me.”
“I was thinking back to how you and Bette first started. How much she changed after she met you” came Shane’s response. “Now that you have started seeing each other again, I’m seeing signs of that Bette returning, and it’s good. It’s very good. I know she cared for Jodi, and as a person I liked Jodi. She is an amazing artist, but Bette never seemed to have that sense of calm about her when she was with Jodi, that she usually had when she was with you.”

okay so does this mean while tina is at lunch with shane, kit went to go see bette???? why must you write drama,lol make it easy!! LOL :)
YAY~!!!! I was thrilled to see an update from you T! To think, Tina was going to see Kit! What a terrific dialog between Tina and Shane. I loved this line, as I am sure you know….”Having that one special person to share it with, who accepted you as you were, didn’t try to change you to be something or someone else>” Good stuff my friend. Thanks SO much for making my day complete. ** HUGS **
I love this story! Your writing is so captivating especially the notes attached to each flower delivery. Can’t wait for Tina to arrive at Bette’s.
Go to her Tina, a very good chapter Taz, I loved the talk, sometimes you need to hear it from another sources to know it’s the right thing to do, Shane struck me as a wise person despite all of her flaws but I know people are not all bad and full of flaws and they are not all good, they make mistakes that can change their lives forever cause they suppose to learn from them. Thank you dear and post soon
Hmmmmm…so if Tina went to see Kit, who turned into Shane, then the knock at Bette’s door may be Alice…to impart some advise to her?????
So….. Bette’s hoping it is Tina on the other side of the door, but Tina has gone to see Kit…… who just happens to be on the other side of Bette’s door…. Well, that is my theory anyway. I look forward to the next post.
at least u both know and vaule what u have
Shane is so sweet,Only the two of you will know. In the world you need to do what is best for you not anyone else. That is hard to do sometimes,but love has a funny way of changing things. thanks
Now, where is Tina off to and who is knocking at Bette’s door? I hope that Bette does not freak out tooo much. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
I am glad that Shane could be there for Tina. Now I hope Tina goes to Bette and starts working things out, so they can move forward.
Go Tina!!
Another great chapter. Looking forward to more soon I hope.
So happy that Tina had that talk with Shane and Kit would have probably told her the same thing, more or less. Now on to see Bette and tell her how she feels. Grat chapter. Can hardly wait for the next chapter. PPS
Get to Bette, Tina!!
