Chapter 6
Bette awoke the next morning from a fitful sleep, the night seeming long and empty as her mind contemplated the previous day and evening.
She had used that contemplation in deciding whether or not to go to Tina…, call Tina…, just anything Tina…
She was feeling uneasy and anxious, and she was feeling sick to her stomach, but that may have been to do with the several large slugs of whiskey that she had downed when she returned home from the club.
The hot shower did little to dispel the feelings inside, the jumbled thoughts, the pain in her chest, the lump that kept appearing in her throat and the pounding she felt in her temples.
She dressed carefully in the grey trouser suit with the white sleeveless silk blouse, knowing that today she was meant to be working with Tina for the most part…, and her feelings on that prospect were both positive and negative.
The positive was that she would get to talk to her, explain what happened, or what Tina thought had happened, the previous night, to tell her how it felt to dance with her, to feel her body close to hers, to try and quantify her feelings in explaining the effect of feeling Tina’s lips against her own…, it was a feeling that she couldn’t shake, a feeling that had haunted her the whole night…
But there was the flip side… What if Tina didn’t want to talk to her, what if Tina didn’t believe her when she told her about what happened, what if yesterday didn’t mean anything to her, what if that kiss last night hadn’t affected Tina as it had her…
What if…
“What the fuck is happening to me…” Bette said into the air of her empty home…, her mind not even passing over the fact she had a day of work ahead of her, as she roughly ran her fingers through her still slightly damp hair.
She continued to search for answers to foreign questions. Wondering if it would be awkward between them at work today as butterflies with aeroplane wings took off and landed in her empty stomach…
She mentally berated herself, taking a deep breath as she whispered to herself, “stay calm Porter, stay calm…”

Oh get off it, Jo, you’ll never shut ME up. On the contrary, I thought it was you that had been quiet lately. Heading off for a little family get together for the 4th, so I’ll read later. Just cause it’s the 4th doesn’t mean we don’t like Brits!
Thanks for the post! Leave it Kit to note that the slayer has been s.l.a.y.e.d.
Hi Jo. LOL… wow the fanfic master truly is back. This chapter was just so exquisite… so heavy with emotion. I wonder how many women have felt what Bette is feeling at this moment from a brief encounter with the lady slayer… is Bette getting a little taste of her own medicine here? What a difference a day can make… Tina’s presence has pealed the last layer off the slayer LOL…. and now Bette looks at life from an entirely different perspective. Beautifully written Jo…. thank you!
Aww. This installment was really sad. I hope Tina lets Bette in a little.. because it seems like Bette is really hurt and off balance with the situation. Damn Kit, had to make it super awkward with everyone. PPS..
“all gone very quiet on the comments front”… We’re all just sitting quietly, contemplating Tina’s fallen coffee cup and Bette’s empty chair… ;-)
I love this story, I hope Tina talks to Bette soon. PPS
This Bette is kind of morose, melancholy and much more introspective than in previous stories. If Bette has been contemplative in the past, her energy level has been higher and more frenetic as well. It takes a little getting used to this Bette. But your writing is brilliant as usual. PPS.
OK, american contingent reporting for duty (most of the rest are pissed as farts at this point of the day). Loved the update Jo but why is everybody blowin’ Bette’s spot up?? Hello Kit, anonymous blonde at the table, gee, wonder who that is? Sister completely dismantled, hmmm? OOOOHHHHH, says Kit as the light shines on those dim comments. But I absolutely love this story, can’t wait for more. Even if I end up bald at the end from pulling my hair out!! Shout out to anker – loved “layer off the slayer.” PPS
ok, if being a bit shy on the comments, we get 4 pages….well I’d have to say “everyone stop any comments and we’ll have Jo giv’n us wayyy more pages” jo, as usual your stories are thought provoking and can’t put down material…I hold my breath waiting for another post. Bette is being real and sounds like for the very first time in her life….only Tina can help her w/this….pls post soon, very very soon
Good one Jo. Sure hope Tina gets out of that chair and goes and talks to Bette, and maybe a little something extra. Do you think they might spend the weekend together after they talk? Here’s hoping. Happy Fourth everyone.
I hold on to your story as I hold on to my margarita on a Saturday night.
What’s this you say? Not enough comments eh? Well…ok then…I’m answering the call…here goes…like your story a lot, Miss Jobadge, and I hope to see another chapter soon.
just loving this story. Cant wait for the next chapter
Great chapter Jo. Looking forward to more.
God Jo that was sad.Kit really put the knife in deeper. Hopefully they can make things better between them.Looking forward to more.
Tina follow Bette. Good job Kit, now if Tina would onlyr realize that she is the one to take the slayer down.
Sorry Jo for not commenting on the other chapter. On vacation and not near internet connection most of the time. That was an awesome chapter for our girls. Bette has met her match in Tina and I think that Tina is beginning to realize that Bette is really smitten with her.
oh yeah….more….soon
Amazing chapter… From all the time I read you with faithful and delighted pleasure, I always kept feeling a true awe in front of your wonderful ability to deal with all different emotional colours of stories, from comedy to drama – mixed with a rare talent for sexiness stuff. Well, I know I didn’t commented enough – but just let me say I would have been happy doing it more often, if some personal process didn’t take the best of my time – but anyway each new story of yours never cease to be an impossible-to-miss event ! I laughed a lot with your irresistible “Situations” serie, I smiled with deep contentment savoring the “Do you remember when” one, I felt really moved and touched by those jewels that were “I thought we could spend the evening together”, “Those adoring eyes” and “Hindsight” and I couldn’t stop crying each time I read this “My Mermaid” short story of yours… Now, with this great new story of yours and especially this chapter I read very slowly as I like to do each time my heart is truly taken, and also reading your author’s note, I felt the huge want to share my reader’s joy and gratefulness to you. Having the deep weakness I always had for clever and sensitive depiction of emotions and feelings, I so warmly thank you for such a psychological piece of art here : that’s very deep and moving, as if we were allowed to touch our dear Bette’s soul… Well, I simply adored this chapter, period ! ^_^ Your talent never stop to amaze me and just let me say how I more than ever consider you as one of the very most talented authors here. I mean it. Truly gifted authors like you and the other ones I especially savour are “slayers” too, making me wait for updates with impatience and anticipated pleasure ! Many, many thanks for everything you wrote – and everything you will be generous enough to share with us the same way. Faithfull yours – A.
Bette is having a very hard time and just Tina can help her to go throught this. I am sure that Tina can see the pain in Bette she just need to take the risk to be with Bette and is a risk that is more than worthy. Good very good chapter
Absolutely amazing. You can feel their love and emotion. It’s so intense. I love this story.
Jo, you know we love ya!!!!! Great Chapter!!! Tina get off your ass and go to your woman now!!! I so love this story Thanks
tina talk to her
Tina’s got Bette all messed up,doesn’t she!! I hope Tina will go after Bette and talk to her. They need some time alone. Great update, Jo! PPS
Ok, Ok, guilty as charged. I am one of those regular readers who have not been commenting much lately and I actually feel completely ashamed of myself for that because I love this story so much. In fact, WOW ! THIS WAS A FANTASTIC, TERRIFIC, AMAZING CHAPTER, JO !!! Will you please accept my apology ? “Lady Slayer” is definitely pure unaldurated reading pleasure. Mind you, not that I’m surprised, I have been knowing for a long time what a superb author you were, but once again I hadn’t seen coming half of the twists and turns that fill this new story of yours. As a matter of fact, just when I thought your protagonists were going a little too fast, BAM ! They have to start pretty much everything all over again. And how heartwrenching it was to witness Miss Porter being so frustrated, so lost, so desperate,… I was even starting to get mad at Alice for her “lady slayer in action remark “, but then when I realized she had invited Tina to the Planet I thought she was going to “redeem” herself… But it would have been just way too easy and obvious for Miss Jobadge, wouldn’t it ? Drama genius !!! Anyway, now I just can’t wait for you to tell us about the nirvanic chemistry these two are undoubtly going to share…
one of your silent readers here…just wanted to say how much you are missed and how much I love this story. Bette’s a mess and Tina has her all worked up. Please keep posting…I check for something from you everyday. just love your writing!!!!!
Awesome update Jo! Poor Bette. She really is being crushed here. I just hope that Tina talks to Bette… pps :-)
A vulnerable BP Ahhhhh…where have I heard that before LOL. So beautiful and well written mate. And now, on to the next :o)) xx
This is so good!
