Sunday Mornings: 3 – Seventeen Reasons Why Not …
Sunday Mornings: 3
Sunday morning
Slow beats seething
Through the screens in
The open windows
Eggs frying
Legs shaking
After we stayed lying
So long in bed
Sunday morning
Both of us reading
And looking up occasionally
Looking up occasionally
Of all the Monday through Fridays
We joined the crusade
Of all the Saturday nights
In which we were made
Of all the exorcisms
I’ve done with your ghosts
Still it’s Sunday morning
Two women under one roof, Bette chuckled to herself, recalling Jodi’s early morning description of the party to her as she dressed to go back to her own apartment. Their day slightly marred by the fact Bette knew Jodi’s meeting with the stiffs at the university the day after wouldn’t go down so well, and following on from that, who knew what might happen between them,
But as she lay beside her, listening to tales of Dawn Denbo and her ‘lover’ Cindy, raining on Shane’s buzz parade, Bette couldn’t help but find herself laughing and wondering quietly to herself what Shane would say when faced with lovers both old and new a mere few feet away,
In her heart of course she knew, Shane’s dalliances a mask for how much she truly admired deep affection. For how long she carried that hurt look in her eye after the dream couple’s split, watching on with a knowing glance because she understood Bette and the things she chose to do, which at the time was both comforting and unsettling to Bette,
Her bed unoccupied now, she sat to the side, peering out through half open blinds to the wreckage out by the pool, clothing everywhere, an empty baking tin which once contained the responsible brownies and beer bottles floating in the pool. A pair of boxer shorts hung off a tree, making Bette gag, before she turned back to stare at the half open door, willing a certain person to wake up and walk through it,
~
“This used to be my pool,”
In her dreams, Tina was swimming, still flailing around half naked with Shane in the pool, not caring in the least about Bette or the fact she might be watching or listening,
“I can’t stay here … did you know I used to live here?”

Wow.
Excellent… wowow
Thanks for your insights. Please share any more that you have.
Absolutely loved your insights… more please…
ohh sofa.. I love this little kind of “lost scenes”.. please keep sharing this wonderful words with us! PPS!!!
That was fantastic. Gotta love Kit.
hope you continue with these throughout the season and thanks!
Good stuff. I’m loving the post 505 stories, and this one is a lovely one. Thanks for writing.
Perfect!!! You write them so unbelievably well… Can’t imagine what it’s gonna be after next week’s episode! These reasons why are just so right and beautifully worded… They (you) basically say it all about what real love is… Because sometimes it is simply wrong to think that love can be found in grand gestures, for true love resides in the most tiny and ridiculous details like the ” lift (of) a heartbeat with a twitch of her eyebrow, a wrinkle of her nose”. But I think your most powerful statement of this love is: “Because for every hurtful moment, every second she watched her with Henry and felt her heart being ripped free of her chest there’d be this tiny little moment, some joke or a stolen glance at her with Angie and the world would set itself right again, spinning them eventually back into each others arms.”… I bow to you, Sofa, thank you.
This was good, Sofa!!!
“but there would never, ever be a good enough reason to say why not. “… Nice one.
Nice!! Yeah, why not right.
You are THE BOMB! You are truly one of the VERY BEST writer’s on this site. I love your one chapter snippets like this. It is brilliant, and your words are so incredibly moving. Sofa, you could write twenty chapters a day and I would want more. Thanks hun.
It seems you created such a wonderful possibility for the “morning after”–so much sweetness between them and still everything unsaid.
That was as good as I’ve read in many a day on this site. Full of insight into Bette’s inner mood, it seemed like a meditation of what could be again transposed over what has gone before. I loved this and I’ll be looping back to catch some more of your work. Thanks!
Wow sofa…that was superbly written. I can never seem to get enough of you. Keep ’em coming and I’ll keep reading them. Your stuff is magic!
Well now that it seems Bette has figured out the reasons why to be with Tina what is she going to do about it? :) FABULOUS!
Tina is Bette’s future and her why not for not remaining with jodi. Tina and Angelica are her family and it will always be that way.
WOW Sofa!!!! That was Wonderful!!!! Thank you
That was awesome and please post more, thanks!
too much!!!! loving it…the imagery is powerful…i could see and feel it all…come home T.
very very lovely, even if it is tibette;) kidding hun…i liked especially the attention to those small (seemingly small but are they really? not the way you write them) details that make daily interactions into epic stories. xox
So beautifully written. Thank you and more please.
Can’t think of a single reason why not. Lovely, lovely, lovely, sofa. Hope the jollydays bring a lot of fun. Thanks
Truth be told your version would be closer to reality, let’s see how Ilene and her minions handle it
Nicely done! I especially loved the last line. Very nicely done.
Really enjoyed how well this was written. : )
