Vignettes: Chapter 42
Bette smiled softly. Always.
Thats not true.
Ok… youre right, but Im ready… now. Bette stood up and walked out to the patio. Sit. She pointed to a piece of shade on the concrete next to her. Tina squatted and sat.
So whats on your mind, Bette?
To be honest, I was afraid something bad was going on with you. I had no idea you were going to tell us about a new job and a move out here. Before, I just wanted to let you know that I was here for you, no matter what was going on. I guess it all seems a bit moot now.
Tina laughed and leaned back on her hands, stretching her legs out and sticking her toes towards the skies. No its not. It means a lot to me that you care.
Really? Bette mimicked Tina, her dark legs a bit longer than Tinas.
It always has.
Even-
Yes, even after the affair and after you left. Even after all these years.
They were both quiet for a few moments. Bette wanted to speak but every time she started to say something, she stopped. Tina never noticed and Bette felt foolish for seeming so juvenile. She was baffled at how under-confident she felt inside.
Bette turned to look at Tina and shielded her eyes from the lowering sun.
What? Tina asked as she watched Bette stare at her.
Its just you, thats all.
Whats wrong with me?
Nothing at all. I was just remembering how beautiful you are. I dont think I ever forgot over time, but my memory dulled. But after seeing you, watching you, listening to you, and seeing you live, my mind is sharpening.
Tina let out another laugh. I feel old, Bette. Wrinkles and gray hair.
Bette reached over and gently ran her fingers through Tinas hair, lingering for a moment. I dont see any gray… oops, heres one, and another… one more. Bette playfully sorted through her blonde hair. And wrinkles? Bette moved her hand from Tinas hair to her face, tracing a small and barely visible line around her mouth. This isnt a wrinkle. Its a line from your smile. Your laughter simply placed itself permanently on you for everyone to see.
Tina blushed and shook her head, a smile on her face. You always were a sweet talker, Bette Porter.
That may be true, but every word I say to you is the truth. You are the only person who actually makes me jumble words in my mouth. She leaned over and kissed Tinas shoulder, then resting her head there. What do you say to hanging out with me tomorrow night?
What did you have in mind?
Im not sure. Alice is planning it. She wanted to prepare a special evening for us.
Ok… Tina sounded hesitant. I guess.
Good. Bette stood up and reached out a hand to pull up Tina. Now, lets get inside and see what the gang is up to.
Trouble, I bet.
Bette wasnt about to bet on anything again so she opted not to reply. Instead, she turned around as they walked in the door. By the way, I think you and Dana are trading rooms tonight.
Tina looked shocked but Bette simply smiled coolly and joined the other women in the kitchen who were preparing drinks before Tina could reply.
