The Roommates – 2nd Dimension: Chapter 38
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forty minutes later, Kit and Tina were sipping tea with Deborah Jennings in the living room of her home while Bette was just sitting down in the den next to her mother. The mother and daughter were quiet for a moment and Janice stared at the wall before her, as if a cheat sheet with all the right things to say was written there in invisible ink.
The older woman cleared her throat and turned slightly to face her only child. “Bette, I know I’ve apologized a million times. I know that. And I know that words are just words and that for you, they probably won’t mean a whole ***** of a lot until you see some action behind them. I just want you to know that there will be action, Bette. I want to be a part of your life. I’ve missed so much already and I want to be your mother again.”
Bette nodded in response to Janice’s words and stared at the caramel colored hands in her lap.
“You were right, Bette. I shouldn’t have been lying to you. And from now on, I’m going to be honest with you. You’re old enough to handle the truth. Maybe one day, when we get back to where we used to be, you can trust me again. You can let me in again. I know that you aren’t there yet and I understand. But I’ll be waiting for you whenever you are ready.”
Bette nodded again and tried to fight against the stubbornness that had claimed her heart. Part of her wanted to smile into Janice’s soft blue eyes and assure the woman that had given her life that things would improve and get better with time. However, that soft, gentle part of her wasn’t powerful enough to overcome the resentment and anger that still simmered beneath her quiet surface.
“Bette, can you look at me?”, Janice asked, her tone now reduced to pleading.
Bette looked up and met her mother’s sapphire orbs. Janice looked deeply into her daughter’s dark brown pools and sought to convey the weight of her words with the intensity of her gaze.
“I’m really sorry about being so absent from your life. I’m sorry for not being honest with you before. And I’m sorry we’ve wasted so much time. The only thing I’m asking of you is your patience. Okay?”

That was great. I think if I was Kit me and Melvin would have been rolling around on the floor. I almost choaked him through the screen. Damn. Im sureyou have drama in the fuure so this was a nice way to end their visit. I hope Bette and her mother are able to form some type of a realtionship.

MELVIN IS SO UPTIGHT…MTS GREAT JOB..THANKS
hi i love the stories but one quick question are you single or taken at this point in your life i want to know where the deepness is coming from
So very glad to have you back. What a jerk Melvin is…at least now both B&T got to see how he reacted to Kit being pregnant…..he would totally flip if he found out the truth about B&T’s loving relationship.
YOu know, you are always the first one I check to see updates from. When I find one, I know that I will have a great day.
Great chapter, MTS! I’m glad Bette was able to feel her mother’s love again, even for just a little bit. Can’t wait to see what school has in store for our girls. Thanks!
:)))))) that’s how I look when I see your update. Have a great day!!! :)
Hey MTS great chapter. Too bad Aunt Karen was absent. B&T are wonderful.
Go aunt Karen! Yeah… Tina’s a keeper since the start! Ugh, Melvin – what goes around comes around. If you think that your daughter’s life a mess, then you might want to look at yourself and see what’s causing it.
Great chapter and great song. If it’s the song i’m thinking of, i used to play it all the time. Take care of our girls, i’ve really grown attached to them. Was it Tina Marie??
K
Great chapter. Still love this so much. Glad things are good with them.
I missed you! Good update :) Perhaps Aunt Karen can come visit campus? So glad Kit put Melvin in his place.
Still LOVE this story!
Melvin is such a bastard! He should be proud of Kit’s success. And Tina is definately a keeper. Great chapter can’t wait for more!
