Subtleties * Chapters 4 & 5
CHAPTER 4
"I didn’t fuck off, Alice. I fucked up."
"Which is the reason this Tina chick fucked off. I don’t get it, Bette. I really don’t understand why you insist on sabotaging any potential for happiness."
Bette had no answer for Alice’s observation – mostly because she had asked the same question of her self last night as she tossed and turned in her very empty bed.
"I mean, I know the Jodi relationship was a total train-wreck, but how do you still let her fuck with your head? She is all the way across the country."
"She wrote a book, Al. Or didn’t you hear about it? I try to close that chapter on my life. No pun intended. But I can’t escape it. Have you heard what she wrote? I’m sure all of WeHo is talking about it. She lied, Alice. About everything. And I somehow turned into the bad guy."
Alice’s voice was low, "Bette, you didn’t read it, did you? Why would you do that? You swore you wouldn’t give that bitch any of your money."
"I didn’t buy the book, Alice."
"Fuuuuuck, Bette. Is that what you were doing in Barnes and Noble the night you met Tina?"
"I had to see what she wrote. I had to see it for myself. And it was horrible, Alice. Cruel lies. Gross inaccuracies. I was furious. And then James called about that Peabody woman trying to woo one of my artists away and I lost it. I just….I couldn’t. Jesus, Al. I feel like I’m losing my mind."
Bette could hear Alice tapping her knee, a nervous habit.
"Do you think Tina really has a boyfriend?"
"Why would she say so, if she didn’t? Things were going so well up to that point. I swear she was flirting back."
"Back? So you were flirting with her?"
"Of course."
"Well that’s it. Don’t you see?"
"No, Al. Actually I don’t see."
"You were flirting with her. Probably giving her the same Color Me Bad, I Wanna Sex You Up stare you used to give me back in the day." Alice smiled as she heard Bette giggle on the line.
"Alice, you’re crazy."
"No, Bette. You are. She was probably feeling the vibe and then when you looked at her like that…I don’t know, maybe she panicked. You can be kind of intense and when Bette Porter’s feeling amorous, that intensity can be kind of jarring if you aren’t ready for it."

Fabulous! Bette and Tina is off to a good start.
“Maybe you can stop by the gallery some time.””I’d like that.”- me too… great ! :-)
Take two was definitely successful.
Sooo f’in cute. Thanks Scaf!
Definitely a success. Thank for an amazing double.
yep, take 2 was a success…awesome
Thanks for posting. This story is getting more and more interesting.
YAY!! I feel stupid because of the goofy smile that won’t leave my face from reading your story!! it’s awesome, thx 4 posting and PPPPPPPS!!!! :D
This is absolutely delightful!
Simply delightful.
That was a nice reacquintance chapter. I am glad that Bette came to Tina and apologize, but fear or not Tina should not have told Bette that she has a boyfriend. So Alice is with Dana, and apparently Bette was with Alice in the past. Well Shane made up for her previous gossip session of information. Let’s see what happens with the girls.
Amazing as always.Thank you.
That was wonderful and love it, glad Bette come and fix thing with Tina, ok now let see their dinner coming. Please post more thanks!
I just love how you smooth things over after drama scaf. Thanks for the awesome post :)
Loved take 2!!! And I loved how this meeting was played out. Very intense, but also simplistic (in a positive sense) and realistic. That’s what I love about your writing, the intensity you put into otherwise casual situations. Thanks for this update, very well done!… And love Shane of course.
Two chapters – you’re so good to us! Thank you and thank you! Alice and Shane are such good friends, helping Bette and Tina get to Take Two.
Awesome! So glad they cleared the air.
Hey Scaf, Great pick up. It was funny to have Alice and Shane sort things out between Bette and Tina by getting them to admit the errors of their previous date. It seems to have worked. Now that Tina doesn’t have a boyfriend and knows that Bette’s playa rep is from the past. Bette’s arrogant and angry behavior is her way of protecting herself after a very painful break-up so she apologized to Tina. I did love every word. More please as I so so addicted to your brilliant writing and storytelling. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Yea Shane, too f’ing cute. So happy Bette decided to make that stop and apologize. That little visit went a very long way for Tina. Now neither of them will be able to concentrate the rest of the day. Thanks for posting.
Clap-clap…for Mulligans, do-overs, 2nd chances, part deux, etc. Hope is in the air…Seriously fun and great dialogue. Thanks!
