“Bette Porter Gallery." The way Alice tended to answer was as much of a chirp as a greeting.
“Bette?”
The voice on the other end sounded distraught.
“No, Bette’s with a client. Can I help?”
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have called.”
“Tina?”
The other connection was silent momentarily. “Yes?”
“I’ll tell her you called.” Alice bit at her bottom lip. Something about the way the other woman sounded made Alice genuinely want to reach out.
“Don’t. Please.”
“Tina, she’d want to know.”
“I shouldn’t have called. Bye.” Followed by a soft, “Alice.”
With that the line went dead.
Left at the Gallery’s reception desk, Alice debated on whether or not she should break in on Bette’s conversation at all. There was no question that Tina was a very big interest for Bette. Of course, so was the Gallery, Bette’s livelihood. Bette’s art. Bette’s life.
Deciding to err on the Gallery side, Alice flipped quickly through a magazine. Then another. Not reading. Not really looking at the pictures. Just filling the time until Bette was available.
“If you’re this bored, Alice,” Bette hissed, stepping near the desk, and digging through a file of forms.
“You, uh, got a phone call.”
“Take a message. I’ll return the call after I’m done.”
“It’s Tina. She sounded upset.”
The name made Bette stop short. “Tina called?”
Alice nodded.
“Fuck,” Bette whispered, sneaking a quick glance back at her clients. “I hope whatever it is can wait.” Then she looked at Al. “Are you okay here?”
“Of course. Go sell some art.”
“Thanks, Alice. For everything.”
Indecision gone, Bette Porter’s mask of confidence was back in place as she returned to her clients.
But as she walked away, Alice did hear another whispered, “fuck.”
(hmm…wonder what’s up?)

is Tina unsure of her feelings? Bette should reschedule and go find her, especially if she sounded upset…
Hey Pseud, Happy you posted so soon but not completely confused by this chapter. everythign is up in hthe air right now. Just need Bette and Tina together to talk and touch through their emotions and feelings. The desire and need is there ready to be ignited. Can’t wait until this next installment of this awesome adventure. Many thanks even if it was way too short!!! Your Loyal Fan.
Please tell what is going on……more
Surf’s up and Tina decided to go off and ride the waves… all the way to Hawaii? Too farfetched? Oh well, that’s why you’re the writer and I’m the irritating commentator. PPS
To quote Joni Mitchell:”moon’s up, night’s up”. Maybe the jig is up. One thing for sure-the dollar ain’t up! I’m betting Bette (say ‘betting Bette’ 5 times fast) will wrap up her business and hightail it over to Tina’s where Tim is no longer to be found. Everybody should be a little less confused then.
Say, I know! Why don’t you call this story Untitled?
Ooops! My bad! Not Tim-Eric! Sorry, I got them confused. What a pair of losers! (Actually, old Timmy probably should thank his lucky stars he doesn’t have Psycho on his hands anymore.)
Eric’s number. That’s what’s up. I gulped this one page down in record time. PPS. Thanks!
Just read all chapters of this story. I love it. Usually a silent reader but want to make sure you keep writing.
I’ve been silently reading this one. I hope you continue to post this one and post soon!!!
I whispered f**k when I read this at work and the post ended so quickly. What’s up? Tina’s confused and Bette should probably pay her a visit and confuse her some more!
really like the story keep it coming. Please.
Doh….and Bette picks work again….when will she ever learn! Hurry up Bette. A very intriguing update pseud….what’s going down?????
my blood pressure is up is whats up???!!! what a little tease. that was great thx
Tina needs to really stop and think what exactly she wants. Of course it should be Bette and not Eric.
agreed, what’s up? pps.
The sky. That’s what’s up.
Hopefully Tina needs consoling after breaking up with Eric. But who knows at this point. Thanks for posting!
Tina is really confused and I hope that Bette goes to her…very soon. Oh by the way…that chapter was just a tease. ; )
This is getting very good. I do hope Bette calls Tina back. Thanks PPS
Hm, is Tina upset cos she’s decided to do a “terrible” thing, and run out on Eric, no looking back? Or is it that she’s decided to live the thrilling life of a lawyer’s wife, and the call is just to set up a meeting so that the heartbreak can be delivered in person? or… is Tina just feeling a bit pressured on all sides and is reaching out for help? I wanna know, anyway. Keep posting please. cheers!
Everythings up, I hope Bette can reach Tina.
YES!!!! You’re driving me nuts w/these short posts…..tks
That was way to short! Tina’s trying to reach out. Hurry with the next post please.
i was hoping the 2nd page would be up…you tease…lol. more please.
I hope you’ll post another chapter soon because I’m really hooked on this story. Be it brief or super short posts…I’ll take any that you can provide. Thanks.
Maybe Bette should call Tina back!
