New York Minute
Chapter 38
　
Bette got into the elevator and let out a long sigh – it had been a long hard day. She had been on the phone reassuring all her best clients that the rumour that had started was not genuine — she was not selling her business. God knows how that rumour had started – well probably from the fact that it was the second full week in January and only now was she back at her desk. The rumour had obviously been running for a few days – probably longer because it had ended up taking her all damn day to kill it and start making negotiations for some new work. It had not been the sort of first day that she had expected it had been 20 times worse. She knew that it was later than she had promised to be home by but that had been inevitable because of what had happened
Letting herself into the apartment she was looking forward to seeing her lover and their daughter.
“Go to your room Angie “
“NO – not until Bette comes home “
“You have been naughty all afternoon “
“I wanted to play with Bella “
“Hello there “ Bette wasn’t sure what she had walked into. She looked from Tina to Angie. It was obvious that Tina was cross – her whole body seemed to flare up when she was angry. Facing her Angie was displaying similar traits – like mother like daughter
“Bette !!! “ Angie raced across and jumped into Bette’s arms. Bette picked her up
“Okay – what’s going on ?”
“Angie has been misbehaving – her room is a pig sty and she threw a tantrum because I won’t let her play computer games instead of tidying her room “
“Its not fair “ Angie protested
Bette really wasn’t in the mood to play referee but she knew that she had to – this was one of the things that she had signed up to – the bad parts as well as all the lovely good parts she had been enjoying up to now.
“Okay – lets everyone just take several deep breaths “ Bette said knowing that she had to slip into the role of peacemaker. Tina was standing with her arms crossed looking every inch like a picture of her mother that Bette had once seen.

Hey Ally, I have been a silent reader for years. I just wanted to say that I love you’re stories! You’re my favorite author!!! I’m from Germany and it’s snowing for the third day in a row here. ;-)
Great chapter AllyE. While reading about Bette’s business about to go sour my first thought was that someone on the west coast has had something to do with that. Mainly Helena and also the great group dynamic had been talking to her and she found out about Tina interviewing for a job and about Bette being out there withher and she has tried to put the kiabosh on both of them, especially with Tina being rejected. Now Bette needs to get Peggy involved to find out from those friends how they got the info. about Bette’s business and she also needs Peggy to find out why that studio didn’t want Tina. This is the only way to get any of this solved. Then Peggy needs to put a stop to helena and her shenanigans by taking the money away ans taking her out of the position as head of the studio or closing the studio altogether. helena is such a bitch. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting! I love this story as well. I hope that Helena isn’t the one behind all this trouble. She won’t know what hit her if Bette and Tina have to go after her. And if you don’t enjoy the snow then don’t come to Montana right now. It’s a snowy, icy mess. :)
If snowing makes you write Han I love the snow but if it is stopping you then no more snow. I cannot afford to miss your post. This was beautifully written and did I tell that I love your stories? Lol. First time peacemaker lol that was great and we know it will happen very often and be worse with another child lol. Have a great week-end Ally.
Lovely post..love this story. Aw c’mon snow is beautiful! Course we don’t have any here, YET!
Bloody Snow. Living in the East Midlands so not as bad as you’ve got it north of the country, but the whole place has come to a standstill.Loved this chapter, getting to the fundamentals of their relationship and rebuilding the foundations in the right way can only make for happy Tibette. Gossip has got to be Helena. Post soon, any story will do, many thanks.
Excellent chapter. Realistic and delightful. L Wing in the offing?
I get your feelings towards the snow. I´m not really all that thrilled myself, but if it means a new post from you, I´m asking for a blizzard. I absolutely love your stories.
Glad for the update, and a little drama is required, sometimes, to keep a story going.
I hate snow too,but I love your story.Thank you.
Hi Ally, I Hate the snow too. But back to sweeter things – your story. This was another fine chapter that showed the reality of family life. IT was interesting that Angie and Tina were fighting over the most mudane things – untidy rooms and grumpiness. I was so happy when bette calmed them down and worked through the issue. Then once Tina had caught up with Bette, she connect with her little girl and they pulled together to tidy everything up. it is this honest that will keep them all together. Most pleasing was Tina and Bette’s heart-to-heart. Some fears, worries and annoyances were discussed a long with good points of their days. Just wonderful to have this family scene. Fantastic. More please. Your Loyal Fan.
I really enjoy your posts and the care you take in depicting the more everyday aspects of life. I’m betting Helena is behind Tina not getting hired and the rumor about Bette’s business.
Thank you for this update. Love it.
