Chapter 29
En Route to the Roxy
Dana and the guys had told Tina about Nadia and Jodi getting physically thrown out of the bar by the bartender and the owner. Tina’s only response was a half smile. She couldn’t conceive of the idea of being gleeful in the midst of her own dejection.
The ladies parted with the men in the parking lot getting into the respective vehicles they had arrived in. The drive back to the Roxy was a quiet one other than the background noise of Kit Porter and the Stouts six-song demo CD. Dana tried to engage Tina in conversation, but she just wasn’t in the mood.
Tina hoped that Bette would accompany the girls to the show so she would have another opportunity to clear the air a bit. She thought, or at least hoped, that she was pretty clear in her explanation. But of course, she and Bette didn’t know each other well. In fact, they didn’t know each other at all.
Tina realized that she had no idea what Bette did for a living, how old she was, where she lived. Nothing. Zero information. Other than she was Kit’s sister, the band’s business manager, and the only woman whom had ever appealed to Tina, sexually speaking.
She sighed and stared out the window of Dana’s car until they had arrived at the venue.

Bette’s House
Once the band had packed up their equipment into Angus’ old van and straightened up the green room, they all bid Bette a good night and the girls headed for the Roxy with Kit. Bette hung around for a bit to talk to Marina. The crowd hadn’t thinned out at all, opting instead to stay and enjoy the club as a full service bar.
Marina had explained to Bette that she had thrown that agent Jodi and her friend out for being too drunk to maintain their balance or their tempers. Bette only half heard the story since she had Tina on the brain. She absent-mindedly apologized for Marina having to deal with the situation and thanked her after taking the band’s share of the cover charge revenue.
Max had gathered all the remaining CDs and the cash generated from the night’s sales. Between the door charge and CD sales, the band had recouped more than half of the cost to record the discs and still had plenty of CD’s left to sell. Bette would be in charge of distributing the funds to the band accordingly when they had their group meeting in the morning.

Well if we forget about the allergic reaction, which I´m sure was rather unpleasant, I think this illness has softened you up quite a bit. This was actually a very nice post. I kept waiting for the dinosaur or Jodie to appear dangling from Bettes piano. This mood of yours is very disturbing, it´s actually frightening.
What an awesome story! I give you mad props for writing this great story while you feel like poop. I love the detail and layers of the characters in the story. Seems like Bette was hiding in plain sight from Tina. Hope you feel better. How are they going to help you if you’re allergic to the antibiotics?
This is so good and awesome, love it. Now let see what Tina gonna do and Bette and Tina meet again. Please post more, thanks!
So good to know that Tina has found out where Bette lives, not that she will remember in the morning but at least she knows now. And that she is a very talented young lady as well as stunning. Tina needs to get sober real quick and go sit on the patio and listen but not disturb her. She just might get a reward. Hope you are feeling better very soon. Thanks for posting especially since you are not feeling well at all. That’s dedication.

Wow what a nice surprise to see your posting! ;-)… but I do feel so sorry to hear about your health condition. :-( About the baking soda, take it with plain water or mix with lemon, I’m not sure whether can put a link here or not, I’ll PM you if it’s OK for you. :-)Back to the story… erm.. I love drunken Tina :-P hehe you remind me of the S5 scene. LH is so good (too) in her slurring acting ;-D Oh I hope the close proximity of Shane’s and Bette’s house will bring the girls closer to their next meet up! … crossing my fingers now :-) LOL.. :-D
Thank you for posting what with being sick and all. Just caught up with both your updates. Have I told you lately that I love this story :) Hope you’re getting better. I don’t have any remedies for your mouth ulcer but i think warm salt water might help. Take care Meloveslu. Hope you get better soon. Excellent story. love love it.
Hi meloveslu, It was so wonderful to see another fantastic post from you especially as you are going through so much health-wise. While I really appreciate the posts please look after yourself first and foremost. Do take the time to convalence properly. As for the story it was fun to read about Tina when very tipsy. Shane was great at prompting Bette to contact the attractive blonde. I do hope that they get past all of the work stuff and sort out their emotional entanglement. There are great things to be had when they finally unite. I do think that they know this in their hearts it just needs some time to make its way to their think skulls. More please whenever you can. Many thanks for sharing this all with me. Your Loyal Fan.
