Vignettes: Chapter 70
Dakota playfully slapped her and grinned. “I know… shocking. I just didn’t feel like working.”
“But you decided to visit your mother? I’m honored.”
Bette handed her daughter a bowl of salad and a cup of coffee.
“I figured you’d be pissed if I didn’t stop by when I left Julianne’s. Besides, I ran into Alice outside.”
“Alice?”
“Yep. She was here for lunch, but she caught me trying to get in my car. She had seen me leave Julianne’s then demanded that I come in here and say hello. Said she would let us hang out alone.”
Bette looked perplexed. “Why would she do that?” She had a funny feeling Dakota was leaving out something.
Dakota shrugged. “But you’re working, right? So I’m gonna go.”
“No you’re not. You’re going to eat lunch with me. Then you can leave. If you have the day off, the least you can do is spend an hour with your mother.”
“Guess I don’t have a choice.”
“You don’t. So sit down and let’s chat.”
Dakota obediently sat at the table and ate, staring at her food.
“So what’s up? How is everything?” Bette asked.
“Fine.”
“Are you sure? It’s not like you to call off work.”
“I know. We all need a break sometimes, right?”
Dakota looked up and smiled. That’s when it hit Bette. She saw a twinkle in her eyes that couldn’t be hid. That girl next door had gotten under her daughter’s skin. Bette was happy and terrified for Dakota, all at the same time.
“Yes we do.”
There was an awkward pause and Bette let it sit. Finally Dakota broke the silence.
“Ok, you must know what’s going on here and I feel really nervous and I don’t know what to say.” Bette watched Dakota’s cheeks flush. “I know you know that I stayed at Julianne’s all night and that’s why I called off work today. But it’s not what you think. You probably think I’m just ***** around and everything but it’s not like that. We’re friends. Well, I mean I guess we’re more than friends but I’m not just sleeping with her… oh god, too much information…”

You’re such an incredible writer. It always makes me happy when you post. I’m really looking forward to the next chapter.
lol really a great chapter!!
very very nice. thank you for letting this conversation happen with Bette first – just like when Bette mother’s well.
I think you captured Kody’s nervousness perfectly and seeing Bette reassure in such an easy manner shows the close relationship these two have. Once again, another great chapter from one of my favorite authors. Thanks!
great update!!!!!!!!
Simply fantastic as always fareast! Wonderful dialogue b/w Bette and Kody. Thanks for the great chapter! Looking forward to the next one! Thanks again for taking the time to write this story oh and …. I so want to know what is on that tape!!!*** Smiles to you ***
i guess kody get’s tina’s genes LOL, it was cute, at least she can totally talk to both mamas about it…alice is funny, freaking out on a phone LOL
Fareast,Another worthy and wonderful addition to this marvelous and magnificent masterpiece.The way that you capture life and drawn out all of the emotions and feelings is beautiful. You manage to do this is a very simple and delightful fashion which belies the effort involved.Bette and ‘Kody’s conversation was realistic and honest. Theirs is an open relationship built on trust and respect. Admitting things that you think you have hidden to your parent is part of life. And as in life, most of the time they already knew or at least suspected it.This often shocks you more than the original point.Thank you.Your Loyal Fan.
Wow what a great chapter
Simply delicious!!!
wonderful story i like it–i have a 25 yr old daughter too-who is married and has a litttle boy 7 yr and live next door to us–can;t wait fore next episodes
I could feel Bette’s restlessness as she watched for Dakota. With just a few choice words you conveyed the passage of time perfectly. It was if you wanted to watch the clock along with Bette.Dakota’s nervousness was palpable, the heightened sense of vulnerability, her quickened heart beat and the blush that exploded each time she was embarrassed. Nicely done. It’s never easy to talk to your parents about a relationship, especially when it’s obvious that you have been sexually active. Bette handled it quite deftly, giving her enough time to work out the path to communication herself, yet prodded when necessary. I loved the gaydar comment!It will be interesting to hear Tina’s side of things when she talks to Dakota. She may be able to offer insights to Dakota that she never told Bette. Engaging as always.
I love this story line! awesome conversation with Bette and Kody, I cannot wait for Tina to chime and Alice’s phone call was so funny :) Great update.
loved it- thanks!
