Twisted Triangles – Ch. 45

“Oh shit, Gracie, I didn’t realize that it was late.” Tina said remorsefully.
“Yeah, we’ve just been sitting here chatting like old friends” I added with a smile directed at Tina, then Grace.
“That’s fantastic.” She replies sarcastically. “Maybe you two Pollyannas will braid each other’s hair later.” Grace is dangling bait and I won’t take it.
“Only with Bette’s permission” Tina responds, giving a wink to me. I’m surprised that she would snap back at Grace especially considering why we’re having to meet like this in the first place. “But you’re right. It’s late and I should meet Eric anyway. Grace, can I take your car?”
“Sure, TK.” Hmm. Apparently Grace isn’t mad about what Tina said or what it may have implied. I guess they’ve mended a few fences in the last couple of weeks. Grace hands her the keys and prepares to walk out with Tina. “Babe can you hang back? I’m gonna walk TK out.”
“Sure.” I say returning to my seat stunned at what just took place. She returned moments later, walking purposefully towards the table.
“Don’t get up.” She says pointedly.
“Oh. Did you want to eat here instead?” I ask trying to ignore the feeling of dread threatening to overcome me.
“You know,” she starts while taking the seat previously occupied by Tina, “if you and Tina were trying to create a friendship out of the ashes of whatever it was that you had, you both have a piss poor way of showing it.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why are these chairs so close together? When the two of you started talking, you were all the way over there. Now, look, you guys were practically touching shoulders. Why, Bette?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t realize that had happened.” I confess.
“You know what that says to me? That you’re so drawn to her, you don’t even realize that you need to be near her. Do you know how that makes me feel?”
“I’m not sure, sweetie. I mean this is all new territory for me too.”
“I don’t know Bette, this all seems like it was a mistake to me.”
“No.” I say to her quickly before grabbing her hand for reassurance. “Look, I want to be able to come over to your house and sit in a room with both Eric and Tina and not have anyone staring daggers at one person or another. I think that we all deserve that, don’t you think?”
“I guess.” She lets go of my hand and sits back in her chair. Some time passes before she speaks again. Sighing a resigned sigh she says, “I love you, Bette. I really do.” It’s the first time she’s admitted that to me. And honestly, I don’t know how to respond. “I don’t know why considering how uncertain you seem when you engage with me. But I do. I love you.” Mercifully, she didn’t wait for me to say anything. Instead she stood up and held out her hand for me to take. “Come on, take me to your place.”
