Alice happened so fast that Jane did not have a chance to prevent it.
“Eric, Alice Pieszecki.” Alice shoved her hand at the startled man. “We met at the opening.”
Eric politely responded as he struggled to remember the odd blonde “It’s good to see you again.”
Jane stood to the side trying to think of how she could stop the disaster she thought was looming.
“Hi, Tina. Alice Pieszecki. We didn’t speak during the opening but I saw you there with Eric.”
“I’m glad we have the chance to speak this time.” Tina shook the outstretched hand of the blonde who stared at her with an unnerving intensity.
Alice realized that she had been staring and stopped. She was fascinated by this woman who had her ex and now good friend so besotted that she couldn’t even see that she was besotted. “Bette is speaking to some other guests so I will be delighted to keep you company.”
Jane frantically tried to get Bette’s attention before she disappeared with the Fiskes. When she couldn’t, she rolled her neck to reduce the tension it held and watched as the two innocent guests were led away by Alice. “At least they’re not important guests,” Jane muttered.

“Bette will be so pleased that you could make it tonight, but she’ll tell you that herself. I’m glad, too, to see you again.” Alice spoke quickly and smiled broadly. “Tina. Eric told me all about being a lawyer.” She stopped and looked at Eric “Entertainment lawyer, Stanford grad. Big firm, big celebrity clients, up for partner soon. Right?”
A sheepish Eric nodded.
“But what about you, Tina? What do you do, where are you from, where’d you go to school, do you like LA, where do you live, rent or own, how long have you known Eric, what’s your favorite color, where do you see yourself in five years, sweet or salty snacks, do you believe in love at first sight, French or Spanish in school, popular kids or geeks?” Alice rushed through her questions, hoping that she had tucked in the important ones inconspicuously.
Tina’s eyes bulged as Alice raced through her first questions but she soon began to smile, then laugh, at Alice’s behavior. She turned to Eric, “Did you get so many questions?”

so Bette keeps humming huh? Great chapter. Thank you so much for posting. I can’t wait for Bette to greet Tina!
LOL. Love the waiter’s reaction. And Magritte! One of my favorite artists, and painter of my #1 favorite painting in the world. Thanks for making me night, matey! Ciao!
That last paragraph reminded me of one of my favorite authors, Pancha 305. Check out her best, “What is Love.” I’m loving this slow build. Bette and Tina are slowly coming into focus to each other. It’s delicious as a…Porter! Thanks!
I’m humming ’cause Spumoni is in the house! I had to check the 2 paragraphs of questions and answers by Alice and Tina to see if they match. Ohhhhh…so very clever. LOL! The build up to Tibette convo is driving me nuts vs. loving the anticipation…yes…anticipation wins by 1 touchdown (sorry…Monday night football…go Cowboys!) I love your writing!
Spumoni…that chapter was a delicious if naughty tease (Bette and Tina still have not connected at this dinner. The Alice and Tina Q & As were priceless. PPS!
what a wonderful update…loved the eskimos reference and of course the last line…bette keeps humming, tina gets bette and i love the build up…keep them coming
Mmmm, mmmm good, mmmm, mmmm good…that’s what Tina’s…well, I should let you and Bette finish the lyric. That may not even be what she’s humming. Techgal has paid you a great and deserved compliment by comparing you to Pancha. So, um, is Bette actually going to speak to Tina in the next installment? Will Tina speak to Bette? If you know what’s good for you (and us!), they will.
Love the Q&A! T can handle anything Alice throws at her! Tina & Bette are finally in the same room and The Porter is humming! Thanks for the update! PPS!
OHHHHHH… they need to talk!!!
I love it. I wonder what Tina will think of the humming….please post again soon.
Alice has gotten bested already? Sweet! Tina’s a keeper, then, for that skill alone. At least Bette is still humming after seeing Tina in that dress, and not wolf-whistling. Great post, Spumoni, thank you. :)
I wonder if Bette will realize that she is humming, and humming when Tina is mentioned or around??????? I cannot wait for them to meet face 2 face. Eric, it’s time for you to go back to the office. B will take very good care of T. Great post.
I love this story, Spumoni, and look so forward to reading more of it… :-) … and I left you a PM.
OMG, is Alice annoying or what? Your story is wonderful.
Hi, dear sweet Spumoni! *waving* Thanks for the front seats on the first row! Hehehe This chapter was just great. We truly enjoyed the whole ambiance and what is happening around the dinner. It was VERY interesting and FUNNY to see what Alice had to say to Tina and Eric. Hehehe The spectacle is worth watching. Ah, you have been so generous in describing the whole details. We have been savoring EACH one of them. Thanks, dearest friend. So far, the dinner is quite AMUSING. Can’t wait to see what else happens. Hehehe Yep. Pushy Salsa Aunties, here. Hehehe PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks.- Lu & Marsh (Proud Salsa Aunties to the loving JC, Eunichick, ZLFAN, T_Daze, Melrose231 and Tias Adoradas to Patpez)
What a lovely lovely update. So love the waiter’s reaction. Love this story and they have are going to meet again :) Thank you again.
