The Burden of Control – Chapter 10
Tina: (anxiously)
you doing here?
arm, offering the flowers to Tina. Tina hesitantly took the large assortment
and placed it on the seat next to her. Helena bent down to give Tina a kiss on
the top of the head, while surreptitiously watching Bette’s reaction. She
smiled as she saw the skin around the corner of Bette’s eyes tighten
perceptibly in anger. Tina swallowed nervously and returned the gesture, giving
kiss on her cheek as she lifted her head.
Bette. I hope I’m not interrupting anything.
Tina: (quickly) No, we were just talking.
Tina: Whatwhat are you doing here?
of checking her watch.
to meet you here at 6. We have an appointment at
Tina (interrupts) I knowI justI guess I lost track
of time.
time(addressing Bette) I’m surprised that you’re here at all. I must say that
disappointed that you were unable to complete the assignment that I gave you
this afternoon.
Tina: You gave her?
Bette: (somewhat angry) As I explained to
really nothing that had to be finished today. Maybe if you hadn’t waited until
the last minute to give it to me
Are you making excuses now
Tina: (sharply)
Bette: (calmly) No Tina, it’s alright.
the report first thing tomorrow. (pauses) In fact I should be goingI didn’t
realize how late it was.
Bette slides out of the booth and stands. Tina
immediately does the same. They stand there looking at each other, oblivious to
Helena who is standing there impatiently watching.
Tina: (quickly) You don’t have to leave.
Bette: No, it’s ok.
Tina: But
Bette: You have plans alreadyI don’t want to intrude.
Tina: But I haven’t told you
Bette: (interrupts) I’ll call youlater on this week.
Maybe we could get together to…um talk again.
Tina: I’dI’d like that.
They stand facing each other in awkward silence, both
waiting to see who would make the first move. Finally Bette reaches down and
picks up her laptop case. She starts to unzip it, then hesitates for a moment,
before reversing her actions and closing it again. She straightens and with a
sigh starts to move away from Tina. Tina, realizing that Bette wasn’t going to
initiate anything with Helena present, quickly steps up and enfolds Bette in a
tight hug. Shocked, Bette stands still for a long moment before finally,
tentatively bringing her arms around Tina’s shoulders. She closes her eyes and
breathes deeply. She smells the warm
familiarity that is Tinathe scent that is noticeably missing from their house.
From her life. Bette opens her eyes and watches as
smile is reduced to a scowl. Their eyes meet and Bette can’t help but smile. The
intent in the gesture was clear.

tibette my computer just crash on me,so i didnt get the chance to comment on your last chapter. i am so happy that you’re not writing bette they way i.c.wrote her. she took almost all of the thing i like most about her away. her strengh,her playful side and turn her into something pitiful.i hope you dont do this our bette in your story. i like another writer on this board [LASTKID] you and she both have the same writing style. tibette dont worry about people not reading this story because its one of the best written story on this board. they have a neww way of keeping count of the readers now. if i was to read this chapter 2 or even 6 times, it would still only count as 1 time. it seem if you go over at least 200 her story has been read by plenty of people. if bette do or dont have cancer, just please let her talk to tina about it. ooo i forgot to say ‘great chapter.
