Tina left the apartment with a spring in her step. For the first time in her life, everything seemed to be going her way. The film had been a huge success, and things with Bette…well, things with Bette were perfect.
Tina pulled her phone out of her purse as she walked out through the entrance, smiling as she felt the sun’s rays wash over her. She re-read the message from Mark, confirming the place and time of their lunch. The restaurant wasn’t far from her apartment, so she decided to walk.
She arrived at the place five minutes early, but immediately spotted the handsome producer casually sipping on a white wine on one of the outdoor tables. She smiled as she walked towards him.
"Tina!" He exclaimed, getting up from his chair to greet the blonde. "So glad you could make it." He beamed, kissing her on the cheek.
"Well you sounded so mysterious and enticing, how could I say no?" She grinned, taking a seat opposite.
Mark chuckled as he signaled for the waitress. The young woman smiled as she approached, clearly enjoying the attention of the producer.
"Could I get another white wine, and Tina?"
The blonde glanced down at the menu. "I’ll have an iced tea."
"Iced tea it is." He smiled, turning his attention back to the waitress.
"Coming right up." The waitress said, giving Mark a wink before turning to leave.
Tina rolled her eyes as she leaned back in her chair.
"So." Mark smiled, grasping his hands together on the table. "As I was saying last night, we really liked what you did with the movie Tina. Alphaville was a dying company a few years ago, but somehow it’s risen from the ashes and is now producing some of the most original films of the past few years."
Tina tilted her head slightly as she listened to Mark speak. She knew he often spouted a load of schtick, but she couldn’t help feeling a sense of pride in her accomplishments over the past few years. She actually felt a little frustrated at not being given the praise she deserved at Alphaville. Even with the success of their latest film, there still appeared to be no discussion of a promotion. She felt she deserved better.

Bette or a job. Hmmm… Bette!!!! :o)
Man, this is tough. Tina would make a good VP, but leaving Bette would never work. Maybe Tina can go back to work explain to her boss and maybe he/she will try and keep Tina by elevating her to a higher position. It may work and then again it may not.
Well…well…look who’s up on top? (smiling my big smile) As promised, I return with my essay comment H…about the last chappie – – WOW! The vacay was good for you, as you surely delivered the BnT sizzle factor! (wiping brow) I always love to read the BnT love…which leads us to THIS chappie. Oh what do you intend to do with our delicate Tibette hearts?! I will trust you will be good to our ladies but what a situation for poor Tina. BTW I didn’t read your author’s notes til now – so I was LOL when I saw you posted about Wimbledon. ESP across the miles, huh? Also, got a good laugh out of your tissue comment. (who would have thought otherwise…looking around) Hope you’re feeling better and are back to good health soooon!
tough decision, i love money!! ;) thx
Hardyz, what else would you need tissue for? ;-) Quite a dilemma for our sweet Tina you’ve set up here. I hope she uses the offer to get her current bosses to pony up and give the promotion she deserves, and she and Bette turn this into an opportunity to solidify their commitment. Thank you for a great chapter, as always!
H ~ on my way out the door but promise to leave a lengthy essay worthy of praising last chappie and this! Hoping you get THE job…coz all of us readers would just LOVE to SEE you on tele – LOL! Later…
BETTER BE FIRST!!!!!!
Wow, what a dilemma! Just when everything is perfect. Neither decision is going to be easy. Great chappy.
oh how we do like to setup these little challenges for our duo…LOL
Wow, what a tough decision! I think she should let her current employer know about the offer and see if they will give her an incentive to stay where she is. She just can’t leave Bette :(
Hope Tina make a right choice, thats Bette. Please post more, thanks!
Oh poor Tina. What a decision to make. Great update and hope you’re feeling better. Thank you again.
Eeeep rough choices… Distance may make their hearts grow fonder! Or bette may surprise tina and move to new york afterall the artscene there is way better than LA…. Can’t wait to see where you take it
Very mean to leave it there
Uh oh… more trouble in paradise? Although, a great job offer is supposed to be a good thing, isn’t it? What is Tina going to do? Will she even tell Bette, and if she does, will Bette be truly happy with Tina’s choice, either way? Hard decision for Tina (and Bette) to make… They’ve certainly had an eventful start to their relationship! Here’s hoping they’re able to make it work, whatever Tina decides. Thanks for the post!
