“Oh ” Bette says as she now is curious about Jackie’s finding. “Yeah, Tina I’m available for lunch where and when?”
“I was thinking around 2 at Ranchos. I know how much you like Mexican.” Tina finishes with a smile.
“Sounds good I’ll meet you guys there. And T I love you.” Bette says with warmth.
“Yeah Babe, I love you too. Well I guess I’ve made Alice wait long enough.” Tina says
“Well good luck.” Bette comes back with.
“Oh I’m not the one that needs the luck!” Tina emphatically states as she begins putting on her game face.
Chapter 96 – Honoring a Friendship
Tina scans her office quickly to make sure everything is in place. She picks up her mail and throws it in the IN box and then turns to go out to get Alice.
“Alice” Tina says with authority as she enters the outer office area. “Come on back.”
Despite the fact that she was expecting Tina to come back and get her, Alice still jumped at the sound of Tina’s voice.
“Oh good.” Alice says as she stands up and begins to move in Tina’s direction. When she got close Tina turned around without a word and led the way to her office.
Alice followed closely behind Tina now a little nervous by her behavior. Alice started talking “How are you doing this morning Tina? This place just seems so formal. You know we really could have reviewed these at the Planet. I mean I think they came out pretty good. You will particularly notice how nice I was to Reverend Pillary, I mean as nice as I can be to that man. I just can’t get over how much Bette really likes him. Wonders never cease. Anyway you will also notice that I have incorporated all the pictures that were taken at the dinner and put in some very nice words about the foundation dinner. I have also gotten approval from my editor on most of them but not all. You’ll see what I mean in a moment. Dana’s even read them and likes them so I think we’re on pretty safe ground this time around. You don’t need Jackie to review these or anything do ya? Because I was thinking the stories could be in our next issue which goes to print Monday. This is why I wanted to see you today because if you like the text we will be all set. That issue will hit the streets Thursday but I probably could get you an advanced copy say Wednesday or so. Right Wednesday. Do you think that you would want one? I mean this should be a good thing.” Alice finally stops to catch her breath as she had said all of that in what seemed like one large breath.

Great chapter, LOVE Tina.
I wish Tina had just put a plastic bag over Alice’s head. She just doesnt get it; and even now talking with Tina, she is still looking for a way to make everything public.
I said it before and will say it again …. Alice does NOT know the meaning of friendship and loyalty!!
I hope that you have a great and very relaxing vacation. This is a great chapter, I loved how Tina held her ground. Alice is just so hard headed and does not realize that “If you play with the Bull, sometimes you will get the horns.” Alice need to recognize that she is now dealing with the Bull (that is two bull headed women who are not going to back down, and justifiable so.), and if she does not “Setp OFF” she will in deed get the horns and not only lose a friendship but also disrupt thier extended family. If you are truly part of a loyal friendship, then sometimes all you friend should have to do is ask—end of discussion. B&T should not have to give Alice any reason as to why theywant her to give up on this story. Additionally reguardless of what is in the story (even if they read it together), Tina should not ask her to reconsider her position. I think that Bette made her point to Tina quite clear and is firm in her decision. The fact that Tina knows why Bette did this should be enough for her. In fact, it should impress her more that Bette does not want all of the public acculades. Please continue.
Thanks for posting Wahbin! It makes us happy. great chapter as always
THANK YOU JWET AND OF COARSE THE HELPFUL WAHBIN..YOU LADIES ARE WONDERFUL THANKS FOR THE FABULOUS CHAPTER….
The last word should be Bettes, The Y in the road our friendship or the story, Alice is stupided enough to take the story, Tina was very firm. thanks for posting for J=wet
jwet. you are too good to us. your words are so vibrant. if i was al id be peeing my pants. tina with a whip comes to mind. thanks for the update and thanks wahbin for posting.
Love the title and the comments from all of the other readers. Thanks for posting for Jwet Wahbin…and big thanks to Jwet for keeping us going in her absence.
ohhh poor Al.. lolol… you go T!! wonderful Jwet, another side of Tina!
Oh Jwet, you do such a great job of making me want to throttle Alice!
She truly doesn’t get it. Instead of hearing Tina’s words that it could end their friendship, she continues to badger her about reading the article. It may be a good story, but obviously that story means more to her than their friendship.
I hope Alice understand that the Y in the road just needs to have the loose ends tied together and then it becomes a noose. She’s skating on thin ice, for sure.
I hope that Bette doesn’t reconsider. If she does, then Alice will be getting her way and B&T will be setting a dangerous precedence with Alice.
Upping my meds for the next post.
Enjoy your vacation and thanks to wahbin for posting!
Tina’s on a mission and Alice is clueless. I got a kick out of the way T approached it like a business meeting – no friendly b.s. Always look forward to your posts, J. Thanks.
what’s up with Alice? I’ think I’m more angry at her than B and T.
Bette doesn’t need to be redeemed in front of the world- why would alice even think that? Obviously a great story if I’m this worked up. Thanks for writing and thanks for posting. Have a great vacation.
Well Alice is safe now but let see what Bette reaction when she read the article!
great chpater Jwet. hope u are enjoying your vacation. thanks for the posts while u are away.
Another great chapter Jwet.Something tells me Tina will let Bette read the story and let her reconsider her position. I hope all is well!!
