Previously They both talked some more over dinner and had never felt this relaxed about sharing their feelings towards one another. Later on that night they both went to bed and slept in each other arms for the very last time. The next day Bette went to CAC and asked James to start looking for appartments in the neighbourhood of Bette’s house. While Bette kept working on her upcoming spring show Tina met with Alice at the Planet. Alice : hey Tee hey my lil’ Boo, how are you girls? Tina : hey Al we’re fine considering the circumstances. Alice : the circumstances? Did something happen? Tina : Bette and I talked last night and .... Alice : that’s about time, I hope you both worked everything out between the two of you Tina : well euhm we didn’t work things out the way you want to hear I’m afraid Alice : What does that mean? Tina : Bette and I are breaking up Now Alice : WHAT ???? wait... wait.... wait you’re what???? Tina : We’re taking a break, Angie and I are going to live in our own place again. Al you noticed as well as everybody else that things weren’t going well between Bette and me lately. We were drifting apart day after day. Alice : yeah but that’s because Porter is such a workaholic... Tina : it isn’t all Bette’s fault Alice. I kinda made life hard on her as well, but anyway we agreed to live apart from each other and ... Alice : but where are you gonna go? And what about Angie? Tina : We’re gonna check out some appartments in the neighbourhood, I’m not going out of town if that’s what you mean. We both are going to work out a schedule for keeping Angie... Alice (surprised) : wow ... I don’t know what to say... I mean you girls actually talked and arranged all that without jumping at each other’s throats? Tina : yes we did. What’s the point of making each others’ life miserable when things don’t work out between us anymore. We have a child together and we have to think about her future, a future with both of her parents in it. Alice : Tina I really don’t know what to say, I’m really sorry you girls are breaking up again but I guess it’s for the best.and I’m glad you’re both able to stay friends this time. Tina : yes so are we. Alice : does Kit know yet, Tina : no I don’t think so or Bette should have told her this morning when she passed to pick up her coffee but I doubt it. So please Al can you keep this for yourself and let us inform the rest of the gang? Alice : I won’t .. Tina looked at Alice very seriously Alice : what??? I really won’t I promise ok? Tina ; ok thanks At that moment Tina’s cell rang, when she looked at the ID she noticed it was Bette calling. Tina : hey Bette what’s up? Bette : Tina hey ... what are you doing at the moment? I mean where are you? Tina : I’m at the Planet why? Bette : James found a nice house a block away from where I live and I already called the realtor, he can meet us there in half an hour if that’s ok with you? Tina (hesitating) : euhm ... sure give me the address I’ll be there Bette : ok it’s West 34th Street, you know where that is? Tina : yeah I know it what’s the number? Bette : oh yeah sorry euhm ... oh here it is, it’s number 317 Tina : ok I meet you there bye Bette : bye As Tina hung up her cell Alice noticed the sad look in her eyes and she took T’s hand in hers.
Alice : Tina are you ok? What happened? Tina : yeah .... yeah I’m fine. It’s only djeez she really can’t wait to have me out of the house fast enough Alice : what do you mean? Tina : that was Bette ... James found a house in the neighbourhood and she already made an appointment to go and have a look at it
Alice : what? Already??? Dang she indeed moves fast....
Tina : all that makes me doubt again Alice, do you think she has been cheating on me again? Alice : who Porter? No I don’t think so Tina, I’m sure she learned her lesson last time. I don’t know what’s going on with her lately, she seems so different... Tina : you noticed it too? Alice : yeah she seems so distracted I don’t know, maybe she’s just stressed about the show, you know how she gets right before a show... |
