The Roommates: Chapter 20
Bette forced a smile as they separated and said, Its good to see you, too.
How are classes?, he asked.
Theyre good, Daddy. Im doing well. You wont be disappointed., Bette replied.
Well, thats good. Ill be looking forward to your grades. How is your roommate? Tina, is it?, he asked.
Bette could feel her pupils dilate when the words left his full lips. The subject of Tina Kennard was a very touch one for her as of late. Shes great, Dad. Just great.
Glad to hear it. Im glad you got in early, I promised your grandmother wed be over around 2 oclock. She plans to serve dinner at 3., he said.
Oh, okay. Thats great. I have time to take a nap then. Im a little worn out.
Well, actually I promised a friend that wed meet her for a light lunch at eleven. Melvin looked at his watch. So, we need to leave in about an hour in order to get there and make it to your grandparents in time.
All Bette heard was the feminine pronoun in that sentence. Her?, she asked.
Melvin gave a tight smile. Yes. Her names Vivian. Shes a brilliant real-estate attorney. Ive been seeing her for a little while and I thought this would be a good time for you two to get acquainted.
Bette was grateful her dark brown eyes were hidden behind the black shades; her chocolate-colored pools reflected her true shock and disappointment at this news. I see., she said.
Melvin gave his daughter a quick once over. Yes. So, you have time to get showered and changed.
Bette rolled her eyes to herself and took her fathers transparent clues. Fifty-five minutes later she was dressed in black slacks and a cream-colored silk tank and cardigan set. Shed squeezed a few drops of Visine into her red, swollen eyes and applied makeup to hide the pallor her emotional state had left her in. Melvin talked about himself and the state of things at the office for most of the 1-hour drive to visit Attorney Vivian Hughes. Bette was already emotionally and physically drained, but she did her best to retain her composure. All shed wanted to do was lie down for a few hours before being subjected to her pretentious grandparents and condescending extended family members while chewing dried out turkey and trying to appear comfortable in her own skin.

that’s unfortunate that Bette’s cousins treat her like that…makes me love my cousins all the more. tis ruff being of the mixxedness. Great chapter!
So glad you’re back, been eagerly awaiting this update! ;) Poor Bette, nothing seems to be going right for her…. or Tina for that matter! Can’t wait for the next one!! =0)
ohhh i love it. . glad your back i missed your story.. come on .. they need each other..:)
What a rollercoster ride B&T are in they really need accept what they feel for each other.
great story but I am with seven get B&T to work things out soon before the resentment turs nasty keep up the good work please post soon
Hey girl please continue….this is a great story thanks..
I feel Bette’s pain, but come on now. She’s not really being fair to Sidney who has shown her nothing but love and compassion. I know Bette’s not in love with her, rather is in love with Tina, and is just using Sidney to get what she’s not allowing herself to ask from Tina. Why can’t she just accept the love instead of allowing her unresolved feelings turn to resentment? Love the story and am so happy to find a new chapter from you.
I’m glad to see your update here. Tough times for Tina and Bette. Great update!
What a hard and crazy day for Bette. Well Bette need time to think about her relationship with Sidney and Tina, who would she choose and make her life better. Anyway glad to see you again and please post soon the next one. Thank you! Great chapter!
Love your story…it’s something new and refreshing…thank you and please do continue…can’t wait to see what happens next;-)
i liked your story though i dropped by here and there. thanks for your time and effort. i enjoyed it.
Awesome…pls continue
Happy to see this post but please let Bette wait for Tina don’t let her sleep with Sidney I like her but she is meant to be with Nette..Please post soon Thanks
I’m not sure Bette has the right to resent Tina while she is using Sydney. But then again as someone said here they are only 18. Great story and I always look forward to another chapter.
Sounds like Tina might need to drop out of school and figure her life out.
Bette needs support to continue with her education and life. Maybe dating isn’t in the cards for either one of them right now.
Thanks for posting another chapter.
Interesting… Should be tense time by finals. (Hopefully delightfully so.)
Wow extremely well written. I can understand Bette just wanting Tina to be there for her, its too bad that both of their lives are so hard right now. You explained it really well why Bette reached out to Sidney, but I do feel sorry for her actually because deep down she will always be second in Bette’s heart. However, amazing storytelling and character development and how they think. Great job.
god..where haf u been? love ur stories…post soon!
Bette needs to tell both Sydney and Tina what is really going on with her right now,please post soon.
