    Chapter 10

    Chapter 10

    Kit drummed her fingers on the desk before her, trying desperately to ignore the horrible elevator music playing through the phone as she remained on hold.  She watched as Angelica, perched at the other end of her desk, creating her latest masterpiece on some scrap paper Kit had given to her. 

    “Two days,” Kit muttered to herself, rubbing a hand over her face, “I was only gone two days.”

    Having spent the previous weekend in San Francisco meeting with a potential new producer, Kit had returned to find that, despite their previous conversations, Maxine had turned the world on its ear.  Just before leaving to start their day, Alice and Shane had filled Kit in on how Tina had hired “Maxie” to help with meals and housework until Tina’s schedule eased and Bette returned.  Kit immediately knew that she needed to try to convince Tina to get Maxine out of their home before Bette got home.  She wasn’t quite sure how she was going to do that, but she had to try.

    “Auntie Kit?”

    Kit looked up to see Angelica, beaming with pride, holding up a picture of different colored circles.

    “See Mama B?”  Angelica asked innocently as Kit struggled to make out the various swirls she had made with the crayons.

    “Of course,” Kit automatically responded with a smile.

    “Show me.”

    “You are so like your mother,” Kit murmured as she took the picture from Angelica’s tiny fingers and tried to guess at which swirl was her sister Bette.  “Why must they have such awful music when you’re on hold with your Mama T?”

    “Can I hear?”  Angelica’s question barely registered with Kit as she heard Tina’s voice on the line.

    “Tina Kennard.”

    “Well it’s about damn time,” Kit said sarcastically as she handed Angelica back her drawing and two different colored pens for her to add to it.  “Do you have any idea how long I’ve been on hold?”

    “Sorry, Kit, I’m fighting about three different fires here.  Is Angie ok?”

    “Fine, she’s fine.”  Kit moved her chair away from her desk and began to pace the length of her office, “It’s what Alice and Shane told me that is not fine.”

    “What’s going on, Kit?”  Tina cupped the phone as she barked an order at her assistant on set.   Tina knew when her assistant met her outside in the parking lot that morning that the day would be a nightmare.  Her assistant had grasped her arm and directed her, without stopping in her actual office building, to the movie set where there was an actor threatening to walk over a dispute.  “Today has been the day from hell, I feel like a kindergarten teacher settling feuds on the playground.  I hate movie egos, who cares what someone’s trailer size is.”

    6. “The horse fell down and sat on the flea, and the flea said mousy there’s a horse on me!” – LOL You are so good at bringing levity into a scene that is soon to be full of pain. Wonderful chapter…I could see the steam coming from Kit. Thank you…but please post soon!!

    7. Nooooooo, you can’t just stop there!!! Okay, you did just stop there, bummer. Thank you for the new chapter and Proofie thanks for editing the story. Now, go and write the next chapter, please with a cherry on top.

    9. I can’t believe you left us there! Bette is going to stroke out. that said, what’s the tune to that little ditty? it was adorable. I want a jpeg of the tune. POST!!!! (please)

    10. I have been away from this site for a very long time and it seems I came back at the very perfect moment that one of my very favorite authors has written a delightful story! As always Gumby you manage to write these characters as if you were each and every one of them bringing with you a breathe of fresh air. I am always falling in love with these L word girls every single time I read your stories. The way you bring the humour, drama, and love to every tale you write is so wondferfully refreshing. As always I am sitting at the edge of my seat anticipating your next chapter.

    14. Hey Gumby, Great update as Kit bursts a gut over Maxine’s quick insertion into Bette, Tina and Angelica’s lives.Kit was well pissed and shame that Tina didn’t have time to sort out this potential mess.As soon as Maxine started singing to Angie with Bette’s early arrival I knew the game was up.Now I can’t wait to find out what happens next.This tale just flows like a summer stream. Many thanks frmo Your Loyal Fan.

    15. Oh that is trouble. Maxine is in the deep end now and I don’t think I see any life jackets are to toss her way. Now what the fall out wi be should be interesting. Great chapter that G

    18. Uh oh, what will happen next? There’s gonna be a few very unhappy people within this very small group of relatives and friends. Bette always has the best or worse timing in the world. I smyphatize with everyone of them as a mother, as a parent, and as a friend. Understanding why Kit is so against Maxine being with Tina and Angie, also understanding that she knows how hurt Bette will be, still she needs the opportunity to make amends with Bette. And what better way to get to Tina and Angie as she has been doing. Thanks for posting. PPS
