“Al?”
“Yeah?”
“We’re screwed, aren’t we?”
“Yeah.”
“Shit.”

Bette looked at her collection of restored classic sports cars and leaned back against her silver Ducati motorbike to keep herself from falling dramatically to her knees in the middle of the garage. “My babies..” She whimpered as she bit on the insides of her cheek to keep herself from crying. Restoring cars seemed like such a manly thing to do, but she found herself falling head over heels for the task when her dad gave her a classic Alfa Romeo sports car for her sixteenth birthday. Soon after, she started scourging the market for those hard to find models and began restoring them left and right. They were her little babies.. dilapidated models which she had painstakingly poured time and money in to rehabilitate. Goodbye my precious cars. Her vision blurred as her eyes began to fill up with unshed tears, feeling like another major part of her was being torn away.
“If you’re more sad about leaving your cars behind than little old me, I think we have ourselves a problem.” Sonja teased as she stepped out from the shadows and walked towards her young ward. Bette quickly wiped the tears away from her eyes and flashed a weary smile at the older woman. “I hope you didn’t forget to come to see me before you left.” Sonja ribbed the girl, try as she might to flash Bette a genuinely happy smile, it was pointless since it didn’t reach up to her eyes.
“Of course not.” Bette wrapped an arm around Sonja’s shoulder and gave the woman a light squeeze. “I was saving the best for last.” She grinned from ear to ear, her voice laced with unspoken emotions.
“Miss Bette?”
“Yeah?”
“Who will wake you up each morning?” Sonja asked in small voice. What would she do now? Her heart broke just thinking about not being able to wake up the young girl beside her starting tomorrow.

lol! it figures that bette would consider half a million dollars ‘spare change’!! great chapter
Haha–that last part is classic! Glad you’re back–that one day absence was getting to me! :) PPS!
Great chapter, I’m so proud of Bette! I think her $500K cushion might not be enough, for some reason. The girl’s never had to live on a budget in her life… Ken thinking his girl had gone riding was too funny, and I hope the hunt for Al and Shane works out well. Thanks so much for the post, Alchemy. Cheers!
That was so fun and cute. So Bette moved into Tina’s building.
greaaaaaaaat chapter. so funny. I thought Ken knew his daughter had her first ….lol. I hope Melvin willsee that Tina is a great girl, good for Bette and that they are really in love.Melvin will still have an eye on Bette, I might buy the building and restore it who knows? You are a great writer Alchemy10. PPS
Ha they live in the same building! I think Tina will be sneaking out in the middle of the night, hope they don’t wake all the neighbors…especially dad! lol PPS
1 of my fav updates. I loved the way U explained how sore Tina was from all the love making & how she explained to her dad about riding a black beauty all day-such a classic use of a metaphor referring to sex. Only someone like Bette would think 500 thousand was being poor-Too funny!!! Great job as always.
Hope Melvin will see that Tina is good for Bette. That was wonderful and so funny. B&T are so cute and sweet, love them. Nice that Bette just down a couple door form Tina, they gonna have fun and cant wait to see it. Please post more, thanks!
