    I love everything about my job except the two men I want to murder, Franklin and the ferret faced poser, Helena’s friend, Leo from New York. Franklin, I imagine now with a steak knife through his temple, the nice soft spot before the harder bones protecting his brain begin.

    I find that patience and modulated tones of voice, tips like breathing in and out for self control, and the ability to maintain a smiling mask of “I’m still in this conversation, I haven’t left for your murder weapon yet,” are frying too quickly away. The muscles in my face that so instantly follow my inner thoughts are predicting a problem between the three of us. “Is there a problem, Bette?” Franklin astutely asks.

    I’m wearing my early, dawning mask of rage expression. “Only if you consider that everything about the special project you just described that Leo is doing comes under my responsibilities, creative control, and museum direction.” They seem surprised at my displeasure of their assumed fait au complete. Leo at least has the good sense to back away from Franklin leaving him solely in my crosshairs.

    “Was this Helena’s idea? Are you taking ideas from any other board members, or just her these days?”

    “Helena and Allen Barnes are lifelong friends, surely you know that.” Franklin patronizes me.

    “Of course, I fucking know that Allen and Peggy are old friends. Part of why I’m the museum’s director is because of my years of relationships with artists, collectors and the philanthropists who keep museums, like ours, open.” I snap at him.

    God, who does Franklin think I am? Then I realize that is the crux of it – Franklin hasn’t bothered to understand the most important things I could do for the museum whose future we’ve been entrusted. He just wants to be king and have a prince named, Leo. I press the bridge of my nose as a feel a headache coming on. I have such little patience for

    My phone rings. “Excuse me, I’ll take this call and come right back.” I walk out of Leo’s office and shut my door.

    “Is everything alright?” I ask Tina, not realizing how alarmed I sound – a red fire siren going off in my brain about Franklin.

    1. They have a very complicated relationship. Turmoil and contradictions. I love your writing but not exactly sure of what’s going on. Bette’s anger reaches a Hurricane 5 level and then dissipates. Tina is a passive-aggressive personality. But they really love one another.

    2. I’m starting to relax again as she massages me. “How many years do I have until I have to assemble something huge, like a swing set or a pony?”

      Love the humor. Thanks for the post.

    3. This had me laughing my head off. It is so well written!

      It was interesting how you gave insight to Tina dating both Helena and Bette at the same time. I thought she was being deliberately cruel.

    4. well, well, well… fascinating to say the least. Bette picks someone so unlike Tina to have an affair with and Tina picks someone similar to Bette to have an affair with. Bette’s affair has some discretion while Tina throws Helena in Bette’s face time and time again.
      I loved each of their thought patterns when they were together. I had to laugh as they are making love but each traveling to other places in their minds. Tina knows Bette so well but Bette is just so self-possessed that she forgets about Tina as they are making love and instead focuses in on Helena.
      Relationships are crazy and take so much work to be successful. It’s a wonder they made it.

    5. Bette going from zero to 360 – I get. Dealing with Helena professionally then at home has got to suck. And i’m not sure Tina did all she could to ease Bette’s concerns about Helena. Thanks for sharing Blackbird. I’ve got some catching up to do but I look forward to it.

    6. First off I will not be thinking of Helena if I had the chance to have sex with Tina that’s for damn sure, but I understand where Bette and anger and insecurities comes from after watching the one she love purposely parade this woman around in front of her for so long…these two are wicked and I love it!

    7. Some rainy day polishing on this story improved it with a few new great photos I discovered to illustrate it. Please enjoy, it’s an amusing story as Bette attempts to assemble Tina’s home birthing tub and plan for another seismic shift in Life with the birth of their child.
