    The Burden of Control – Chapter 10

     

    Tina: (anxiously) Helena, what are
    you doing here?

     

    Helena extended her
    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
    Helena an awkward
    kiss on her cheek as she lifted her head.

     

    Helena: Hello,
    Bette. I hope I’m not interrupting anything.

     

    Tina: (quickly) No, we were just talking.

     

    Helena: I see.

     

    Tina: Whatwhat are you doing here?

     

    Helena makes a show
    of checking her watch.

     

    Helena: You told me
    to meet you here at 6. We have an appointment at

     

    Tina (interrupts) I knowI justI guess I lost track
    of time.

     

    Helena: Speaking of
    time(addressing Bette) I’m surprised that you’re here at all. I must say that
    Franklin was quite
    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 Franklin, there’s
    really nothing that had to be finished today. Maybe if you hadn’t waited until
    the last minute to give it to me

     

    Helena: (laughs)
    Are you making excuses now

     

    Tina: (sharply) Helena.

     

    Bette: (calmly) No Tina, it’s alright. Helena you’ll have
    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
    Helena‘s triumphant
    smile is reduced to a scowl. Their eyes meet and Bette can’t help but smile. The
    intent in the gesture was clear.

    9. 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.
