She walked them to the door. “You were told incorrectly. Thank you and goodbye.”
The three men shouted, bitched, muttered, and complained all the way to the truck. “That *****.”
“You can tell she needs a nice big ***** to get her to chill out,” one of them said.
“Yeah, well where are you going to find a big *****?” the quiet one joked.
“***** you.”
“***** you.”
“You wish.”
Bette rolled her eyes and turned from the door. Dealing with those guys and Narahara, Bette felt in total control and self-assured. This night had her nervous and trying to force some false self-confidence since her anxiety level was about to reach a new high. She glanced at her watch again. It was nearly six o’clock. Tina would be home within the half hour.
Before she hopped in the shower, she opened the windows in the bedroom to air out the space and hoped the smell of the sweaty deliverymen would dissipate. She lit two sandalwood candles.
By the time she was showered, perfumed, dressed and had made the bed, it was nearly seven o’clock. Tina should have been home by now and she hadn’t heard from her yet. She grabbed her cell and tried the Center, but the janitor said that everyone left at six o’clock. Bette figured Tina was stuck in traffic. She grabbed the latest InStyle magazine and flipped through it. Another fifteen minutes passed and Bette couldn’t concentrate on the reading. While she was turning page after page, not taking in any information, her mind kept going back to Dan Foxworthy. Was Tina not coming home because of something he had said? Had Tina changed her mind about them?
Bette had planned to have Tina order something for the two of them for dinner, but she was getting hungry. She opened the refrigerator and took out an apple and some cheddar cheese. She quartered the apple and sliced a few shavings of cheese to munch on. At the counter, she noticed the light on the voicemail blinking. She pushed the button.
The voicemail automaton announced, “You have one message. Monday, 6:20 p.m.”
“Hi Bette. It’s Tina.” She sounded overwrought. “I am so sorry, but we’ve had an emergency at work. This kid decided to see how far he could fly off the swing. He missed the padding by about four inches and uh…now I’m at Emergency with him. I don’t know how long it’ll take. They need to run some tests to see if he sustained any head injury. I’ve borrowed someone’s cell. I’ll try to call again, but I have to stay with the boy and might not be able to get away again. Can’t use cells in the E.R. If you want to do something else tonight—hang out at the Planet or something, go ahead. I’ll see you later.”

Portia, your story is pure genius. Congrats on finishing, and I so look forward to reading more of your writing in the future.
Portia just read your series excellent!!
Please write some more. Wonderful series.
I have been patiently waiting for your new chapter, wow was I blown away. I just Loved how you told your story with so much love along with the heartache that a couple feels with infidelity. 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. I hope that you write more for us readers to enjoy. Thank-you very much.

I’ve greatly enjoyed you story.You’ve done a great job making us feel all the emotiona that Bette&Tina feel or felt.
Portia – I loved your tory – I printed the whole thing out & read it like a novel – you write so fluidly and handle powerful emotion and angst so well and then wrap it all up neatly – what more could we ask for – a good meaty read – I admire greatly the ability to get into the head of a character – I can’t write for Toffee – but I read avidly. Please do create more of this quality – I’ll start your next story & keep looking out for your name. Thanks
