Chapter 29 Love and Affection

Tina was working diligently trying to finish up on the last script re-read and fixing some things here and there.  She loved her job..it was just getting stressful with meet ups, casting, and finding production crew.  That meant long days and hours without seeing Bette as much.  Although she knew she would see her, it would be after being weary and tired.  She sighed and looked up.

“Hey Dane, shit, work is just getting so hard.  How are you?  And Lara?”

Dane, smiled and knew that her life was just as stressed. 

“I am good Tina, so is Lara.  Shit we have the tournament coming up and we are just starting a new film.  We are gonna be tired!”  Dana smiled willfully at Tina

“Look we need have lives out of the office.  You told the President that last year.  She was fair about it and said that we could take the time we need to regroup and not work too much.  Even work at home.” 

“Dana, you are right..I will just work here for 10 hrs and then do 4 more at home so I can at least see Bette…ugh..we have that tri this weekend.  Fuck.”  Tina was exhausted already..it was 4 o’clock and they had to do one more training before the event. 

“Tina, look you are doing a great job,  you got Kate to do another film to direct and well. You guys are over the whole weird ‘we dated thing’ right?”  Dana knew at first that Tina was feeling awkward about working with people she had dated and didn’t like to date those in her business.

“Yea she is fine with it and so am I.  I will be too busy with the next project.  Helena wants me to look at some scripts and work for some possible TV scripts.  Also, well I love Bette and we are planning our wedding.  We are hoping that the Prop 8 thing will be overturned  in less than 6 months.”  Dana looked over.

“Tina!!!!!!!!”  Tina jumped, she had forgotten that they hadn’t told anyone and chuckled.

“Dana, sorry I had figured you knew and with the ring I am wearing..shit…”  Dana was jumping up to hug Tina.
