Bette rubbed her fingers against her aching temples as she stood in front of James’ desk, trying to focus on what her assistant was saying.
"So, basically he said that it’s gonna cost at least double the initial estimate if they set it up to your new specifications."
Bette exhaled as she raised her head to look at James.
"And he’s not willing to give us any kind of discount?"
"Afraid not." James frowned. "He’s sticking to his guns on this one."
Bette let out a sigh as she undid the buttons on her suit jacket.
"Fucking contractors.." She muttered, placing her hands on her hips.
"Okay thank you James, I’ll figure something out."
"No problem boss. Oh, I almost forgot, Joshua also requested a new copy of the layout for the show."
Bette shook her head as she began walking towards her office.
"Joshua can kiss my ass."
James chuckled as he watched Bette enter her office, closing the door behind her.

Tina quietly opened the bedroom door, stepping out into the hallway. Even though she knew she was alone, she didn’t want to disturb the stillness of the house. It was so calm, so peaceful.
She slowly made her way into the front room, gazing around at the various paintings and photographs adorning the walls. She stopped in front of a print she recognised. It was a Catherine Opie, one Tina remembered seeing the night they first met.
The blonde smiled as she gazed up at the picture, she remembered standing in this exact position as Bette had come up behind her, asking her if she was coming to sit down..
Tina closed her eyes as she let out a contented sigh. It seemed like a lifetime ago they first met, but it had only been just over a month. It had all happened so quickly, she’d hardly had time to take a breath.
Tina opened her eyes, making her way across the room towards the french doors. She leaned against the glass, enjoying the feel of the warm sun as it filtered through into the room. She gazed around the room again, taking in all the little things she’d missed before.
Tina furrowed her brow as she looked over at the small photograph of Bette and Kit. It seemed that this was the only personal photograph Bette had on display around the house, as far as Tina could see. The walls were covered in art, Bette’s passion, her life..

Great story! I’ve been finding Bette’s action & reactions this “morning after” interesting. Work is important – but I agree with her, she’s making it more difficult than it needs to be. I’m guessing Tina needs some quality time right about now – what she experienced for the first time with Bette was huge. Somehow I think Bette needs it too. ;-) Thanks Hardy!
yes u are!!!!!!!!!
yes she is a fucking idiot. i wouldnt want that kind of control with the woman i love. thx
Damn traffic! Bette better go get Tina! PPS
Quick Bette – she can’t be far… call her! ;-)
…can’t see if my first commented posted… (guess you were right about that twiddling, after all!) – – hoping I am able to top the comments section! Feedback on the way and TY for posting!
Yes, Bette, you are a “fucking idiot..” I am going for a cold shower now, Thanks Luv. Great post. I cannot wait for the next one.
What was Bette thinking?! She’s not a carrier pigeon, she could have emailed the plans in to James… And now, she’s just deprived herself of a bit of early T time, and she’s left Tina thinking that something more than work is at play with the insistence in going back to the gallery. Idiotic indeed… She doesn’t need Tina thinking that she’s always going to take a backseat to work. Maybe, if Bette’s got sense, she’ll get herself over to Tina’s apartment and make it up to her in earnest. Thanks for posting, Hardy. :)
aah Bette missed opportunities…you are suppose to work to live not live to work..LOL
Great post – what’s wrong with you Bette! Sigh! So what’s she going to do now – maybe go over to Tina’s place and make it up to her – maybe :) Yes :) Thank you Hardy. Love this story!

Bette really needs to see that Tina is more important then her work and I think here she sort of discovers that..Please help Bette sort out her priorities.Awesome job, PPS
