No Good Deed Goes Unpunished Chapter 33 by flairforthedramatic
Bette heaved a sigh of relief when she finally arrived home. It had been a tedious day and all she wanted at that moment was a little peace and quiet. As she entered the foyer of her apartment she realized quiet was the last thing she would have.
Bette: Ashley!
Bette screamed for the teenager hoping her voice would over power the music Ashley had blaring.
Bette: Ashley!!
Bette made her way through the hallway and toward the spiral staircase.
Bette: ASHLEY!!!!
Still no answer.
Bette stormed upstairs toward the bedrooms.
Bette: I swear to God Ashley if you don't turn that music down I will..,
Bette stopped dead in her tracks. The distinct smell of marijuana seeping through the crack under Ashley's door.
Bette: Oh you have to be kidding me.
Bette pushed open the door to find not only Ashley but at least 4 other kids sitting around red eyed and giggling. Ashley looked over at Bette slyly sharing a smile.
Ashley: Hey Bette. Welcome home! How was your day?
The teenagers starred in amazement at the casualty Ashley offered to Bette.
Bette was so angry she couldn't even form a proper sentence.
Bette: Out! Everyone out! You..here...now!
Ashley tried to control her laughter.
Ashley: Was that English?
She turned to her friends.
Ashley: Did any of you understand that sentence?
They all fell back in a fit of laughter.
Bette: Ashley get your ass out here right now!! I am not joking around!
Ashley: Well why didn't you just say so?!
The teenager stood up and made her way over to Bette.
Ashley: BRB guys!
Bette rolled her eyes. What the hell did BRB mean??
Bette followed Ashley out of the bedroom and closed the door behind them.
Bette: What exactly do you think your doing? I mean I invite you into my house, give you everything you could ever want and this is your thank you?
Ashley tried to look innocent.
Ashley: Bette I think you could use a little hit.
Bette: Don't fuck with me Ashley! I am in no mood. I want your friends out of here and then I want you in my room in 10 minutes.
Ashley: This is your fault you know.
Bette: Excuse me?
Ashley: I never asked you to bring me here. You and Tina decided to play house and use me as your child. Like I was part of some adopt a delinquent program.
Bette: Get them out of my house! Now!
Ashley sauntered back into her room leaving the door open for Bette to see. First she walked over to a young man seated on the chair in the corner. She straddled his lap kissing him deeply.
Bette: Jesus Christ!
Bette watched as Ashley reached her arm backwards grabbing the girl with the short pink hair. The girl spun and happily joined the kiss already in progress.
Bette lost all composure in that one moment. She ran her hands through her thick brown curls, took a deep breath and then she did what any parent would do. She screamed.
Bette: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!
The kids all stood up at the same time and marched single file out of the bedroom, leaving Ashley standing alone.
Bette pointed directly to the young girl.
Bette: You and I are not done with this just yet.
Bette followed the kids down the steps and made sure they all left without stealing anything. When the door closed behind them Bette turned to face Ashley who was now right behind her.
Ashley smiled again.
Ashley: Something you want to talk about Saint Bette?
Bette: Not yet. Right now I want to take bath. Then I want a glass of wine. After I feel that I am as equally buzzed as you we will talk!
Bette spun on her heels and headed back upstairs, wine in hand.
She couldn't believe it. If this was the life she was in for then Bette was preparing to jump ship.
Bette entered the large master bathroom and began to fill the Jacuzzi tub. She watched as the bubbles gathered at the top. When the water was high enough Bette poured a glass of wine and slipped off her clothes. She slithered into the tub feeling her body rejuvenate with every inch of hot water. It had been a stressful day and all she wanted was sometime alone, to think. Tina wasn't due home for another hour and that gave her plenty of time.
Tina: I think if we move the bench stage right it will open up the view.
Alex grabbed the bench and shifted it to the opposite end of the stage.
Alex: Good?
Tina: Good.
Alice: I hate to be a pest Kennard but don't you think if it's stage right the lamp post will block the actors faces?
Tina tilted her head to one side.
Tina: I didn't even consider that. Ok, so stage left then.
Alex drew a deep breath and dragged the bench back to it's original spot.
