If it makes you happy – Chapter 27
“Hi James” Abby said brightly as she approached Bette’s assistant for the first time in almost two months.
“Abby, hi” Was James’ somewhat stunted reply.
Abby wasn’t about to stop to trade pleasantries when what she wanted lay just beyond the door that he was guarding. “Is she in?” Abby asked.
“Not right now.” James said and his words bought a sudden halt to Abby’s progress, “But she should be back shortly.”
“Great, I’ll just wait in here.” Abby said as she pointed at Bette’s closed office door. James opened his mouth to protest but Abby was already half way though the door. Once it shut James closed his mouth and raised an eyebrow before turning his attention back to the invoices on his desk. James had given up on tracking Bette Porters love life several years before, as soon as she’d started getting involved with someone she shouldn’t have behind her wife’s back. He had decided it was simply easier to not know. All in all Bette had been good to him and it wasn’t in his job description to dissect her personal life, though it did trouble him to see an ex back on the scene when Tina had been the only woman garnering Bette’s attention in recent weeks. He liked Tina, she was always polite, she always stopped to chat and didn’t treat him like part of the furniture.
“Hey James.” The voice made him break out in a cold sweat. James looked up to see Tina smiling at him as she approached his desk.
“Tina” He replied, his voice an octave higher than usual as his heart raced in his chest.
“Is Bette in?” She asked before adding, “I wanted to see if she’s free for lunch.”
“Ah, I think she has plans.” James said as his brow creased slightly with the implications of what could happen if he didn’t manage this situation.
“Oh” Tina said, clearly disappointed in this news. “Not to worry, I’ll just wait for her and see if she’s willing to cancel.”
James could only watch as Tina reached out and turned the knob on Bette’s office door before she turned and thanked him with a kind smile.

Shockerooney! Thanks
I so just caught with this story. WOW!!! Abby is such a bitch. Tina needs to talk to Bette first before she does something she may not be able to take back. Thanks PPVS
i think abs may have gone a bit far in her throw down to tina. shouldnt give away all your secrets. thx
Wellll…..Tina did the same thing to Abby by moving into Bette’s home with Angelica. Turnabout is fair play, I guess. Doesn’t mean that I like it. I hope Bette knows what she is playing at. And, as always, I love reading anytime you post. Thanks!
I am really enjoying how you are playing the characters off of each other. Leaving a bit to the imagination, but filling in some necessary blanks as the story develops. I’m intrigued at what Bette will do to James if she finds out he knew Tina saw Abby waiting for her and didn’t say anything. His loyalty is with Bette after all, not Tina. I don’t really blame Abby for seeming mean. When you love someone, it’s the right thing for you. In love and war, no one but you takes your feelings into consideration. Thanks again for your frequent posting schedule!
Oh, I think the drama is about to begin. Great chapter!
With a second read, I understand Abby’s perspective in her search for what she believes would make a loved one (and herself) happy. At the same time it’s clearly not easy for Tina to see things not aligned with expectations. I wonder what’s next. Thank you for writing which is very much appreciated.
That is not going to be pretty. Great chapter though. Thanks for taking the time.
I don’t think Abby is acting out of character, she’s just showing her true colors, IMO. It’s amazing how Bette keeps hurting and blindsiding T. How is T suppose to trust her with this behavior? Bette should’ve come clean where Abby is concerned. Yes, Techie, Tina moved into Bette’s home but she did it with Bette’s approval, so I guess technically, it was Bette who did it to Abby. I really hope James keeps his mouth shut. Thanks for posting.
I hope Bette is honest with Tina or else she may have just kissed her future with Tina goodbye.
ouch…let the games begin. more please.
oooh please post soon! Can’t wait to see how Bette’s going to juggle this.
Too short a showdown. More! So happy to see an update, HG. Please post soon!
Hack, That meanness seemed out of character with what we have known of Abby so far. I hope Bette comes to her senses, as does Tina.
WTH? Bette is one messed up chick. Very disappointing behavior. Abby is willing to play dirty, not surprising given her moves at the Planet. Run, T. Run.
how could i ever like abby? she’s a b****….bette, bette, what the hell are you going to do?
Bette is a spoiled brat…as soon as she doesn’t get exactly what she wants, she starts backing out of her relationships. This better be a wakeup call for her, because Tina will not put up with this, nor should she.
ouch is right. this should be interesting…
Thanks for the update. Bette seems more afraid of being alone than wanting her relationship with Tina to work. Hope she comes to her senses before it’s too late.
Oh no drama coming, hope not big. Hope Bette know what she doing and abby is no good and hope she tell her goodbye. Please post more, thanks!
Oh, what a tangled web we weave! I am really enjoying this story and your frequent posts! Bette better get her &*^* together, though!
Ouch! Thats gonna leave a mark. Bette won’t know what hit her. Great to see another update.
Well, shit. What a mess.
