Chapter 28

Three days had part since Tina left to Bette it had felt like weeks, everything seemed to be going wrong at work, after finalizing the layout  and sending the L Magazine to print they discovered they left out a new 2 page add, they had stayed up the entire night rearranging the entire layout. Not only was Bette pissed at the design team but she was pissed she didn’t get a chance to talk to Tina, she was missing the blonde a lot.

When Bette talked to Tina yesterday morning, Bette noticed Tina sounded really beat, Tina was spending the whole day traveling, and staying up late into the night doing paper work. Lisa, Tina’s assistant had told Bette the scripts where quickly piling up on Tina’s desk and Tina had requested her to forward the urgent ones to her in Vancouver.

Bette was sitting in her office, she was about to call Tina when her cell phone rang, since most of her personal calls go to her cell phone Bette figured it was Tina so she quickly answered.

“Hi baby!” Bette spoke into the phone

“Bette?”

Shit, Bette said to herself realizing who was on the phone.

“Sorry Catherine I thought you were Tina”

“Baby huh??” Catherine laughed

“Yeah baby” Bette replied with a smile

“How’s it going Catherine?”

“Fine, Bette how about with you?”

“Crazy, things here are hectic I really didn’t know what I got myself into deciding to run 2 magazines one’s bad enough, let’s just say I’ve got my work cut out for me”

“I hear you the Gallery in New York is driving me crazy”

“So Catherine what can I do for you?” Bette asked

“Well, I was calling to see if you wanted to join me for dinner, I know Tina’s out of town and I could sure use the company, I could really use a break, and I thought we could catch up” 

Bette thought for a minute.

“Sure Catherine that sounds nice, where do you want to meet?”

“How about we meet at the gallery we can walk down to the Bistro down the street you like so much?”
