    Why, Bette? (Part 6)

     

    “Thanks.”

     

    “Bye.”  As the outer door to her offices closed, Suzanne stood at the entrance to her private office and thought that Tina and Bette did actually make a good couple.  They were as different as night and day, but in session, it was evident that they felt so much love for each other.  

     

    * * * * *

     

    At home, Bette examined the wine choices in the rack before deciding on one that they had purchased some time ago.  The 1998 Penfolds ‘Bin 389’ Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz was a special occasion wine and tonight would definitely be special.  She placed the bottle in the fridge and checked her watch.  The Asian Inspirations people should be pulling up any time.  At least they’d better, she thought.

     

    Bette walked to the bedroom.  It was strange to see the room so empty.  She and Tina had taken the bed apart last night, putting the frame and mattress out in the back for a women’s shelter to pick up.  They had slept on the floor.  Tonight, they’d have their new bed.

     

    Bette scoped out the outfits in her closet.  Nothing jumped out at her.  At the dresser, she rummaged through her pants and shirts until she found a pair of drawstring pale blue cotton pants.  She remembered that she had a cute top in the closet that she’d only worn once, but Tina had complimented her on it.  The top was white and billowy.  The sleeves were blousy and full, the collar rounded and it tied in front with three strips of cloth at equal intervals up and down the blouse.  The whole outfit had an Asian feel to it.

     

    Bette returned to the dresser and opened her top drawer.  She found one of her favorite lingerie outfits–a cobalt blue thong and matching bra.  She took all of the clothes into the bathroom and placed them on the shelf before returning to the kitchen.  Picking up the landline, she dialed the Center’s number.

     

    “May I speak with Tina Kennard, please?” she said to the person who picked up.

     

    “Hold a second.  I’ll see if she’s around.”

     

    Bette leaned against the counter and stared out at the pool while she waited.  She had been on hold at least two minutes and wondered if the person had forgotten about her.  She was just about to hang up and call back when the doorbell rang.  She shrugged and placed the phone in the cradle.

It is the most intimate betrayle ones partner can do. It opens up so many doubts which you have explored thru your story along with ” we all have our own stories of our childhood” you also explored that thru your story which tells a lot how one’s behavior is in a relationship.
