Tina — Plan B; pt. 42
“But,” she continued, smiling at the fact that I’d prompted her for more, “I have to admit I’d like to be a fly on the wall.”
Thus confirming my worst fears. “They’ll kill each other, won’t they.”
Shane pursed her lips. “Not an all-out war, I don’t think. It’ll be more subtle.”
“Jess? Bette? Subtle?”
“Well, in relative terms.”
We both laughed. It was either that, or I returned to my fear at the reality of the situation.
“So, do you think she can do it?”
“Bette?”
I suppose I could have been clearer at that point. “Yeah. Do you think she can step in to the role of caretaker for a teen?” I suppose I could have used the word ‘mother,’ but Im finding that term a little too loaded at this point.
“Well, I haven’t seen too many things that Bette hasn’t succeeded at.”
Our marriage not withstanding, but now’s not the time to say such a thing. Although I suppose Shane can read my thoughts on that one.
She grabbed my hand, giving it a light squeeze. “She’s here now. That means something. She did come back.”
I nod, which is better than speaking. Who knows what I might say. Something I’d eventually regret, I’m sure.
“But is she here to stay? Or is this just another trial run at our marriage?” ***** it! I spoke.
“Only you guys can answer that, individually, and as a couple. But you have a lot more than a lot of people have, which is another shot.”
Okay, I’ll concede on that point.
At this point I broke into a large smile, which just had Shane giving me a very curious look. “What?” she asked.
“Just the thoughts of Jess and Bette together. It makes me laugh.”
“See, my fly-on-the-wall wish isn’t so far fetched.”
She’s got a very strong point there. “No, it’s not.”
“Has Bette ever spent time with teens?”
“Since she was one?”
Shane nodded that this is what she meant.
“I don’t think so.” But this called up another question. How much did I really know about Bette at this point. We’ve been separated for more time than we were together. We’ve each changed. I don’t know. “You probably know more than I.”

I love this story, pseud. Please, keep writing. I can give you all the support you need..just keep writing for us.
great update! i can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
what could go wrong… nothing …i see smooth sailing ahead…yeah right…ok seat belt fastoned… full speed ahead… love this story
Sweet reward for checking the main page before bedtime. Thanks for another chapter.
Yep, whine away, as long as you keep writing. Bette and Jess left to their own devices. This could get verry interesting.
This is going to a bumpy ride. I’m smiling thinking of Bette and Jess together. So bring it on….love this story……you are indeed doing good.
great to see how Tina’s dealing with this. Can’t wait to see Bette and Jess together, hope they learn a lot about one another…before killing each other. lol. Looking forward to the next update!
EXCELLENT!
ok P your spoiling us her with so many chapters. It’s like your handing out drugs to get us hooked and then going to pull them from us and withdrawl will start. You know you will have some angry readers(ME) if you don’t give us an update this week. But I love the drugs just as much as the story, and can handle it, it builds us. So try to post see or I will have to pm you until i get a chapter. LOL
I am enjoying this story. But, even though I am in the minority when I say this, I think that it is time to bring the chapters together under one. It seems to drag a bit for me when we are reading just one point of view at a time. Still, it is a fun story.
I’m thinking that maybe Tina should solicit Alice as a potential referee for the showdown that will be Bette and Jess. Great portrayal of Shane, always there for support – loyal to a fault and always nudging her friends in the right direction. Very realistic that Tina would continue to second guess her motives as well as Bette’s. I am happy that she does see this as an opportunity for Jess to get to know Bette as much as Bette to know Jess.
Hope her insurance premiums are paid up!
Ok, I don’t know bon bons, but I do have some really nice chocolate covered macademnia nuts….those are really good. Almost as good as your stories!
Have fun this busy week….and if you have some time, write more! Can’t wait for Bette and Jess showdown!
Thanks so much for writing these stories.
Perhaps Bette has a friend back in NYC in whom she confided. Over the course of 15 years I’m sure she developed a best friend, a cadre of friends (analogous to the L.A. Framily), ex-lover, therapist, someone? They could talk by telephone. Or instant chat on the internet.
The possibility of reunion with the ex and the child might make Bette want to seek a second opinion, as Tina is doing with Shane. I could see a play-by-play account of all that has gone on. “Wish me luck, I’m on my way to L.A. to see what happens next” sort of thing. File it under, “Plan B – Bette”.
Based on the rebuffs she is getting from Jess, could Bette be having some doubts about the wisdom of her decision to relocate?
Just a few bon-bons for thought…
Keep up the good work. I’m with you all the way!
Love the story as always! Can’t wait to shee what’s gonna happen with Bette and Jess alone together.
