Bette finished her bath quickly and drained the
soapy water. She watched the suds eddy into the drain for a few
seconds, then got out of the bathroom.
“Tina?” She called out, pretty sure that her lover
should now be home. When no one answered, she felt equal parts
apprehension and relief. She got into a robe and padded out into the
kitchen.
I should call her and ask where she is.
I should make dinner.
I should call her.
Bette wandered into the bedroom, kicking her fallen
jacket on the floor with her big toe. She didn’t feel she had enough
energy to pick it up, let alone toss it into the hamper.
Something’s wrong.
Bette shut her eyes and let herself fall face down
on the bed. She lay there for a moment, half on and half off the bed.
Her cheek brushed against the sheets that smelled of Tina. Tears leaked
out of her closed lids and darkened the cotton fabric.
******
Tina let herself into the house with her key. She
was still cursing under her breath, wanting nothing more than to kick
something or throw something against the wall. She’d been stuck in
traffic for two hours, thanks to a road accident that thankfully
claimed no lives nor limbs. Rush hour traffic was bad enough, but a
Porshe turned turtle in the middle of the road worsened conditions to
unbearable proportions.
“Idiot speeding drivers,” Tina muttered. She closed
the door behind her and noticed for the first time the darkened house.
She looked over at the clock. 8:30 pm.
“Bette? Baby, are you home?” Tina frowned when she
got no answer. Well that’s weird, she thought, Bette should’ve been
home hours ago. Tina walked into the bedroom.
“Bette? What are you doing?” Still getting no reply,
Tina approached the bed where Bette was still lying face down.
I don’t have time for this. I have a paper to write and I haven’t even had dinner. I’m starving. Tina sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. Bette,
honey, stop acting crazy and get up. I don’t need this right now. I’m
tired, I’m cranky and I just want to eat and have this day end.
When Bette still wouldn’t move, Tina shrugged out of
her sweater and tossed it to where Bette’s jacket lay forlorn on the
floor. Then she lay down next to Bette, carefully arranging her limbs
around Bette’s fallen form. Oh Bette, she mentally sighed.

“experience had taught her that sometimes Bette didn’t really mean what she said.” Hmm. They both seem to have trouble with that and it looks like trouble is looming. This is intense even though the dialogue and internal monologues seem to run so smoothly and simply. Can’t wait to see what they’re respect pscyhes are really hiding or really wanting to do. Look forward to the next one. (TMerlin)
no need to apologize, but i hope B&T will talk, don’t let their minds cloud their love for each other…i’m longing for happy B&T
Is Bette bi-polar? I once dated a bi-polar chick and that shit ain’t pleasant.
This is no good, they need to talk and tell each othe fear. Ok post soon please, thanks!
‘She’ll leave you, you know.’ I know from experience that your own mind is very powerful and it’s possible to conjur up insane ideas and think about them so much you begin to believe them. Like smiley said, Candyass really did a number on Bette, and Bette’s mind is still stuck on her. It’s a wonder she even let Tina get that close to her. If she keeps thinking Tina will leave, she will unconsciously (or maybe consciously) do, think, and say things that will eventually drive Tina away. I really think Bette needs to talk to a psychotherapist. This isn’t something drugs will fix, but therapy could help if she can only voice her fears to an unbiased person.
okay I trust where you are going with this. Damn..candyass did a number on Bette’s psyche. Please continue!!!
7Pm I adore this Bette. I know that sounds weird but it’s a cute crazy..if that’s possible. I know her cutness could get them in trouble but it’s a part of her…they’re gonna have to learn to deal
I certainly understand where Lamentamini is coming from, even agree in large part, but sometimes that small voice tells you what is or will be objective fact that you’re not allowing yourself to see otherwise and devoid of the self-fulfilling prophecy thing. At least it has for me. Admire your depiction of the characters’ interior monologues.
ok. now hopefully bette go and join tina in the shower XDD love the chapter.
Beware of those self-fulfilling prophecies, Bette. Excellent, as always, 7 pm.
