Playing By Heart
Chapter 25
The Planet
Kit was in the middle of introducing the entire band when Bette started to make her way back towards Tina’s table with their cocktails. Careful not to spill anything from the topped off martini glasses, Bette gingerly maneuvered through the crowd politely excusing herself along the way.
She was nearly halfway to the table before Jodi stepped in front of her.
Bette looked up and smiled. “I’m sorry, I’m trying to get through. Would you excuse me please?” she said motioning to the full glasses with her chin.
“Actually, I was hoping I could talk to you.” Jodi said wistfully.
Bette gave her a suspicious look.
“You’re the band’s manager, right?”
“Yes, I am. And you are…?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m Jodi Lerner, I’m a talent agent with In Tune. I actually came by this past week and gave my card to Ms. Ferrer to pass along to you.”
“Ahh, yes. Ms. Lerner, -”
“Jodi, please. Ms. Lerner sounds so schoolmarm.” The shorter brunette smiled.
“Jodi. Yes, I got your card. As a matter of fact it’s in my jacket pocket right now.” Bette answered with a smile and a nod. The two women were still awkwardly standing in front of each other.
“Can I help you with those? Then maybe we can talk business?” Jodi offered her hand out to Bette to grab one of the drinks.
Bette looked down at her hand and shrugged. “Okay, sure. Thanks.” She handed her the Manhattan and stepped around her.

Tina was watching the exchange and fuming at the table.
“Is that Jodi Lerner?” Dana asked.
Esai looked around the pillar back towards the bar. “Aww shit, boss, she’s talking to your woman.”
“Fuck,” Tina muttered under her breath. “I haven’t told Bette where we work yet.”
“What?!?!” came three voices simultaneously.
“Well, we haven’t exactly been doing a whole lot of talking you guys!” Tina said in her defense.
“You have to tell her, Tina. Lerner is going to swoop in there and end up doing the band’s negotiating for them!” Dana implored her friend.
“I know, I know. I’ll talk to her. Dammit, she’s fucking following her over here.”

So here comes the drama…how is Tina gonna explain the bf remark? Will Bette even listen? At least they have some hip music playing in the background, I’m a HUGE Tiesto fan! Just saw him live last month. PPS!
Talk about a failing mantra – Tranquility of the mind – my A…! Besides orange really is an overrated colour. I´ll just expect the worst..I´m doing this the scout way. I´m prepared. Now hit me with it. Let´s see what you can come up with. I dare you!
“Trifecta of Evil” hahaha, perfect! Must say, well played by Jodi with the boyfriend comment…bitchy, but well played. Loved Tina’s retort that she’s been “plenty dirty”…brings quite the images to mind!
I love this story. I fell behind but have finally caught up.
Looks like the proverbial is about to hit the fan! This is really very good……… And disliked Jody originally but this story is not doing anything to make her any more enticing! Thanks for posting
Awww, jodi is such a bitch. Tina should have shaken her head No! to Bette about eric and someone should have stopped jodi from following Bette outside. Hopefully the phone call will deter jodi from trying to engage the band and Tina will make her mark with the band by the time Bette gets back inside. Oscar or Esia should have blocked jodi from following Bette and shoved her little evil ass back over to nadia. Tina better wrap things us positively and quickly with the band and make a beeline to find Bette and explain who she is, that eric is not in her life and she wants to date her. Because we know that is what Bette wants. Hope things go well. Great update. Thanks for posting. KILL jodi!!!
Fucking jodi, im gonna kick your ass, what a fucking bitch. Hope Tina and Bette have a chance to talk and work thing out. Please post more, thanks!
What?? … OMG Tina get your @$$ move there! How come Jodi is following Bette outside?? It’s really so annoying! … Simply giving an opportunity to her to do some dirty misguiding things
