Three years ago..
“Would you like something to drink? Or perhaps nibble on? I seem to have bought too much at the station..”
Annoyed by the interruption, I look up from my Sudoku puzzle and come face to face with the woman who sat down at the empty seat beside me when the train stopped at Bridgeport. I would’ve rudely turned my head away and waved a hand to dismiss her offer, but the striking resemblance that she had with Tina threw me off. I couldn’t disrespect her, not when she looked like an older, slightly wrinkled version of the love of my life. Catching myself a second later, I cleared my throat and point at the items that she was holding up for me.
“Uh.. maybe just a bottle of water, if that’s okay?” I say tentatively, a little bashful for a change. Throwing a huge smile at my direction, she hands me a bottle and proceeds to talk my ear off for the next couple of minutes. What is it with old ladies and their need to share their life stories to complete strangers? I ask myself after she ends her first tale and jumps right into a very detailed story of her younger years in Yale. Resisting the temptation to throw the bottle of Evian back at her face and telling her to shut the fuck up, I continue to nod my head and force a tight smile from my lips every now and then – foolishly encouraging her to continue.
You don’t know how happy and relieved I was when she excused herself to go to the restroom after wrapping up her fifth sordid tale. Thank God I chose a compartment that didn’t have one. I think the nearest one was three cars down. That’ll give my suffering ears more than a few minutes to rest and recuperate from motor mouth’s unrelenting tongue.
I closed my eyes, allowing my tired self to be lulled to sleep by the soft humming of the airconditioner and the constant jiggling of the train. I found myself going in and out of consciousness.. only to be woken up completely after a few moments by the sound of ruffling papers. Lifting my reluctant eyelids, I see that my talkative companion has returned. Though as if to answer my prayers, she just gave me a friendly smile before preoccupying herself with the newspaper in her hands. Skipping the front page and all the important news in it, I could see her diving straight for the entertainment section – eager to take in smutty Hollywood gossip. I grinned at her serious form. And they wonder why most people are ignorant?

Oh wow, I see some drama sneaking up on our couple, but I know you’ll keep them safe and happy! Thanks and PPS!
right, kate, director of my A… will learn the hard way that nobody flirt with Tina. Bette will tell her lol. Great post please don’t stay away too long Alch
Rut roh. Bette’s gonna start sitting on tree branches so she can live amidst green, and Kate Arden shows up. I’m relieved that you made a Kate a musician and not a filmmaker, but it still sounds like there is drama ahead.
After reading this chapter, I have enrolled myself in lamas classes. I feel that the breathing technique will help me get through the next few chapters. I’m starting to feel numbness, not sure where. Thanks for the post, once again, you rock!
Oh no Kate Arden. I hope that she stays away from Tina. So Bette is still freaking out from having to lay off workers. I can understand her dislike for that type of situation. I love this story and hope that Bette and Tina will stay together.
A request, please please let Bette N Tina be together forever. Ok now that request done..I absolutely love your stories. Bette have some major challenges coming her way..profesionaly & privately. Thanks for sharing, you are the best.
Uh oh trouble coming and Bette gonna kick some ass. Hope she will talk to Tina and help her with the problem. Please post soon, thanks!
Drama, drama, drama on the horizon! Sounds like Bette needs to speak with someone about her issues, and Kate coming on to Tina is gonna cause some issues…PPS:)
Oh never liked that name. Never did and never will. Poor Bette, she has got to talk to somebody about her situation. Its gonna drive her crazy.
God your such a bad tease!! I mean that in a good way of course…looks like lots of drama in the horizon for B&T..hmm..as always this was a joy to read thank you
Bette should maybe consider therapy… That’s a lot of guilt to carry. But her red-tagging didn’t make that guy jump to his death. Nor is she to blame for PGC’s financial straits. If she can’t tell a therapist, she should at least tell Tina. Now, this Kate Arden… I smell trouble. Thanks for the post, Alchemy.
Wow!!!!What an awesome update. I have been reading from the start & really love all the twists & turns that U are coming up with in this fic. U have me on the edge of my seat & I can’t wait to see what happens next..adding Kate to the story…nice touch..Bette will get so jealous & with her shutting Tina out with the finicial problems of the Potters business…Tina may need someone to talk to…just saying-But I hope Bette opens up to her. I also loved the Paris Hilton joke-it was the best one that I have ever heard. Classic. Keep up the awesome work..
