Chapter 32
When James finished the third of his artist presentation he looked up at the clock. “Wow look at the time. I don’t know about you but I’m starved what about you? Let’s do lunch.”
Angelica for her part nodded in agreement. It had been a fascinating morning. James had been a worthy guide as he had shown Angelica a thing or two about how the gallery
functioned. He also provided Angelica food for thought both about the art world and about her Mother.
James’ different presentations had shown Angelica the actual nuts and bolts of how galleries thought about the art they presented. For Angelica she quickly grasps the aesthetically pleasing view of the art as well as conceptualizing the best presentation. What proved to be more practical as well as a lot less exciting was the accounting in both maximizing the amount of art viewed while maintaining the dollars allowed in the budget.
It all ended up as numbers on a spreadsheet. It was something that James got excited about, this practical side of the business. To Angelica it just seemed a lot more labor intensive.
It was during James’ explanation of the different cost budgets or maybe it was the chart of maximizing parcels when Angelica’s mind wondered to her Mother.
Angelica had known her Mother was attracted to women her whole life. Angelica searched her mind to when she had first discovered that thought. She couldn’t remember. There must have been a moment when her mother had first talked to her but for the life of her she couldn’t pin point the moment. What she was trying to clarify was the actual conversation between them. Her Mother always told her everything. Angelica was trying to remember if during that conversation her Mother had mentioned anything about her prior loves.
James’ suggestion that her mother was like Bette and had maybe let the love of her life get away had captured Angelica’s imagination. It would explain some but not all of Angelica’s questions. Questions like why her Mother always was certain when she told Angelica ‘When you meet the one that’s meant for you, You will know it.’ Angelica had heard that phrase many times in her young life. She had thought it was her mother being like every other adult. But now Angelica thought of the conversations again in new light. Was her mother talking from personal experience?

Such a great story with this chapter being particularly outstanding. PPVS.
this is so what i needed. i mean im a mom and all that. but i was surprised by what my kids did but not that they did it. i was very close with my kids, i thought, back then. but even tho, they still will be kids. but tina really needs to get a grip. thx
Thanks for the double chapter:) Progress in communication is good thou as Funnyone said Tina keeps contradicting her self. Now may be u will b kind n generous n do another double post tonite:))))PLEASE
Tina needs to be less guilt ridden and fearful and focus on Angelica. She’s deprived Angelica of a parent and someone who can help her with issues of identity, culture and creativity. Tina’s relationship with Angelica is based on love and lies. Great writing as always. Please be lovely and generous by posting another chapter tonight.
Yes we can and yes you did…I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ENDED IT RIGHT THERE!!!!!! GGGrrrrrrrr! PPS!
Hey Jenny, thank you for this one tonight. I want you to look up there to where lowerbottom111 said “Please be lovely and generous by posting another chapter tonight” I second that. Thank you, Md
Oh my god, indeed Jwet. How can you stop there?? That’s like stopping mid-sentence… you have become quite the tease!
what is she looking at!
yes, omg, what is she looking at!!! Thanks for posting so often
Great chapter. I know Bette is looking at the painting that Angie won the award for teh one with the black rain falling down that represents Angie’s heritage but my question now is “what does Bette see in the interpretation of the painting that no one else sees or that Tina does not recognize as a problem.” At least Tina and Bette could talk to each other a little more without the guilty-angry screaming match especially from Tina. Great chapter. PPS
thank you so much for the frequent updates! can’t wait for bette’s interpretation of the painting. do we get another chapter today? :)
No No No, you can’t stop there! What does Bette see? I certainly hope they start communicating a bit better, and Tina needs to reign in her inner bitch more. Wonderful chappie as always. PPS.
Thanks for the many posts, Lady Bountiful. Is Tina paranoid? She admits she doesn’t really know what’s going on, but she’s sure the two girls concocted an elaborate scheme to fool the ‘rents over spring break, but yet Angelica then just wanders around LA ending up at a shelter? This after concluding that Bette kidnapped the daughter that Tina had made sure she didn’t know about? Really, Tina seems to be a high-functioning nutcase.
OMG, you left us hanging here.
it’s not like you to have cliffs; i’m falling, falling deep; can’t wait for the next post. wonder what questions angie has for james about bette; will james be the one to ‘clue’ angie in on who bette is; especially to tina and her? hurry, hurry, can’t wait for the answers to all my questions. Thanks, again, for sharing your story.
I just caught up. Great Chapter!!! I hope all goes well when Angie finds out that her mother and Bette know each other. Thank you
Net alot of artist are thinking the same thing, She painted apicture in black.white and shades of gray,she is trying to find her self in this world. She is fighting for a place in this big ugly world. love this story, Tina to let going and listen to others and she will know they are not the enemy. They are the same people that loved her tears ago. thanks emeny
