"I need to talk to you. I need to talk to you right now," Bette said taking Jenny’s arm and tugging Jenny to her feet.
“Bette…?” Shane said glancing between them.
“It’ll only be a moment,” Bette said quickly and forcibly moved Jenny towards the back of The Planet.
“What’s going on Bette?” Jenny asked curiously.
“Kit I’m going to use your office for a minute,” Bette called out to Kit as they passed her.
“Sure thing, baby sis,” Kit said with a wave turning back to the waiter she’d been talking to.
Bette closed the office door behind her.
“Take a seat,” Bette instructed.
Jenny took a seat and crossed her legs the look on her face bored beyond belief.
“I’ve been hearing some interesting things,” Bette began leaning back against the door and crossing her arms.
“Such as?”
“I read your little book.”
“Thank you.”
“I don’t believe I complimented you. It was atrocious. And that’s putting it mildly.”
“I don’t know about that Bev,” Jenny laughed slightly picking at her stockings.
“Not only was it grammatically incorrect it was also nonsensical. There was no characterization or plot development. And while the situations were clearly based on people you claim to be friends with you hardly used any facts to back it up.”
“Thank you. Just what I need. Bette Porter the editor extraordinaire,” Jenny said mockingly.
“Did it make you feel powerful to exploit situations for your own personal gain?”
“You’re just upset that I saw through it all and saw the real you Bette. I see it. Lurking beneath the surface.”
“You see it, huh? What exactly do you see, Jenny?”
“The truth,” Jenny spat. “I see you for the predator that you are.”
“You know the definition of predator, Jenny? One that victimizes, plunders, or destroys. For one’s own gain. Now if I were to look at the two of us…I’d say you fit that description perfectly. But that’s beside the point. I’ll admit that I was upset about what you wrote, but I got over it, and I was willing to give you a pass.”
“Because you’re so good natured?” Jenny asked sarcastically.
“Because I had better things to do,” Bette countered. “You weren’t worth my time.”
“I feel so honored that you’re making time now,” Jenny smiled slightly.

Ooh, I can’t wait to see what Bette does to Jenny. The talk with Candace… that went as well as such a talk could have. I’m glad that’s over with, though… Whisky, hm? Bette and Tina *are* just going to be talking, right? Great post, Speed… have fun on your vacation.
hard liquor, huh…i hope the conversation won’t be too hard
Alright not the whipping I was hoping for. Jenny is really out of control and Bette needs to put a stop to her nonsense. Waiting patiently(not)for your next post.
i love an angry bette….i can just see that beautiful face now……hot hot hot…..god i love her…..
WOW!!! I so love Bette when she is mad. I hope she gives it to Jenny real good and then some. Hard liquor, it will be along night of talking. Thanks you I love it !!!! PPVS
Let’s hope everyone finds closure now. Jenny fails.
Have a super relaxing and fun get away, thanks for a great chapter although I was a bit annoyed that Bette seemed to be communicating better with Candace than Tina. When you come back have them talk so more please.
i’m glad people are attempting communication. i still have no love for candace. she knew the situation and went into with eyes wide open. sucks that she got hurt, but i think they were thinking more with hormones than anything.
I think the thing about Bette being able to talk to Candace is because she doesn’t care about her. There’s certainly not all that history like she has with Tina. Besides Bette wanted closure and meeting with Candace was another selfish thing to do. I’ll get into that in the next chapter but it was not a selfless meeting. Bette was thinking about herself and her relationship with Tina. I also need ideas about what should happen to Jenny. I’m drawing a blank with her. So feel free to leave any suggestions about Jenny’s fate. Thanks for the comments, I enjoy them as always.
I know I shouldn’t do this but I’m gonna take issue over Candace… Candace fell in love with someone she shouldn’t have and then wasn’t strong enough to reject what was offered. Speedy has captured that brilliantly and given a very convincing sophisticated take on Bette’s state of mind both during and after the affair. And honestly how many would have turned down Bette in the same circumstances. Candace knew nothing about Bette’s relationship – for all she knew it was on the rocks already even if, as Speedy has cleverly suggested, Candace did realise, too late maybe, that Bette wasn’t ready for another relationship. Very strong writing.
Finally, the Bette vs. Jenny showdown we didn’t get on TLW. As for Jenny’s fate, I suppose a tell-all book about HER would be a suitable revenge, except she’d probably revel in the attention.
Thanks for all the suggestions and the reviews. I’ve figured out what I’m going to do with Jenny. It’s weird I thought Bette would go ballistic on Jenny myself but what came out was totally different. I just really think Jenny’s not on Bette’s radar most of the time. Thanks again for the reviews.
This story reminds me that ic believes that Jenny is her younger version with Bette being her older version. All I can say is that ic is one f***ed up person (not the Bette person, but the Jenny person). I love how you had Bette come face to face with her actions by meeting with Candace. I hope that they both got the closure that they needed to move on. Now on to Jenny’s punishment.
SR, That was wonderful. Great to see Bette telling Jenny how it is. I was even happier to see Bette sort things out with Candace and even prompt her to develop her script. That is the mark of a righteous individual. Best part was phoning Tina and telling her the truth. This needs to be a journey that Bette and Tina travel together. Yes, the road may be rough but together they can traverse it. Fabulous fiction. Yep, am waiting for Bette and Jenny; round two. Fights flying and insults hurling. Good to see Bette do everything in private rather that Jenny’s hang the washing out mentality. Please continue soon as this is a must read tale. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
That was well done – I like to see Bette using her smarts for once. Tackling Jenny – almost too easy I would have thought – Stacy Merkin would probably be a good start; and there’s the trail of people she’s trampled on including Robin, Marina, Tim, Max, Gene.
I, personally, was hoping for Jenny to get a smackdown from Bette! Glad we got to hear Candace’s feelings about what happened. I still think it was a wasted opportunity in S2 to not keep her around for tension, and we will never know just what was Bette’s motive for staying with her after Tina left her. Have a great vacation, and come back with plenty of ideas of where to take this next! Definitely, B & T need to continue talking!
itz bout time someone got the ballz 2 stand up 2 jenny – n i thing bette is juzt the woman 4 the job!!! great post – like every1 else can’t wait 2 c where u r goin with the hard liquor!
The only thing I had a hard time swallowing was that Candace is a wonderful woman. At least in S1 she was a predator that went after someone she knew was in a serious relationship. I hate women like that.. so if she fell in love with some BS image of Bette after that she deserved exactly what she got.
Alright, I’m really playing catch up here, but you know this is my Season 5, don’t you? The other one will be the fan fic as far as I’m concerned. Oh…Speedy….I can’t tell you how much I love that you have put Candace in your story…if only for a little bit…and she does’nt even die a horrible death.LOL PPS.
great stuff…jenny needs a lobotomy…always liked candace….
