“But what if it’s a mistake?” Tina asked, her small voice almost lost in the gentle breeze before it was carried to Bette’s ears.
“We all make mistakes Tina, and if we ever have regrets I would much rather it was for something I had done than something I never had the courage to do. You have to trust me T. You have to trust that what we are feeling right now means something.”
For the first time in the last few hours, a hint of a smile lit Tina’s face. Although tinged with uncertainty, it was a smile non the less.
“T?” Bette asked needing to share the thoughts in Tina’s head
“You really have thought it all through haven’t you?” she asked in awe.
“There’s just one problem though, I will take me months just to plan an exhibit, let alone find a suitable venue that has a slot in it’s diary to show my work. These things are pencilled in months in advance Bette, The last exhibition I did was negotiated and planned a whole year before the show opened.”
Bette pushed aside the uneasy feeling that she had, as she spoke her next words, her mind focusing only on her desperation to have Tina build a life with her back in LA. Bette wriung her hands together, staring at them in fascination as she found herself unable to meet Tina’s gaze.
“Tina, she began. I am an Art Director remember?” She prompted. “I have contacts T. I can make it happen. After all I managed to get myself an invitation to visit you, despite the fact that you didn’t want me here!” she teased gently
“I am the director of the California Arts Centre. If you tell me now, that you are willing to take a chance on us, then I WILL turn the centre over to you for a one woman show.” Bette warmed to her task now, visualising the exhibition in her head. “We could promote it as a retrospective. Show all of your work you have here, and if things go well, and you decide to paint again, we could house one whole room to your new work. Imagine the stir it would cause T!” Bette said, her eyes sparking with excitement. “You would be the talk of the art world. The world is your oyster baby, you just need to take that first step.”
“But Bette,” Tina interrupted. Surely your arts centre has a full diary? How would you arrange the show.
“I have total autonomy for all show decisions T. You let me worry about how I will make it happen. All you need to know is that I can!” She concluded her chest tightening in guilt.
“Thank you,! Tina said, a single tear rolling gently down her cheek. “Thank you for thinking of a way for us to be together.”

Now how fucking cute was that
and sorry but I don’t want to take jabs at you, I have to be on my best behavior. LMAO
Just wait one of these days I might have something funny to say, but you know it takes a while to make a spark that will start the fire. see look at that i can even make fun of myself. And my friends tell me I’m not that funny when I’m sober.
LA..here they come. Can’t wait for Tina to meet everyone and see how they are together in the city. Love your story
OMG what a beautiful story, T. I so needed to come home to this tonight. Leaving V in the hospital to face this surgery was so hard. What you wrote in this chapter was so awesome and touched my heart. Thank you for such a loving story. TK
this made my heart swell with happiness. its about the first time today on this damn board. so much drama, its stiffling sometimes. this is so good. i got the shout outs to seasons 1 & 2. those are always fun. but im not sure about the guilt. is it cuz she really cant do what she says she can. that will so bit her in the butt later. no sex for bette, lol. please, pretty please another one soon. love the details, love the story.
This story is great and I love it. She makes me feel safe and I don’t know why. Thank you
Interesting. You really have a way of keeping my attention. Great work. Till the next chapter.
Love untested, will never know what strength it has. Bette is a planner and she will only want the best for Tina. If nothing else, Tina re-enters that art world and can show her beloved cubs to the world.
I’m usually so behind the curve on reading within a day or two of a story being posted that I don’t always comment, but thanks for a well written chapter. Apropos observation on regret, a lesson we should all learn, me thinks…look forward to what you bring us next!
oh . i love love . this is such a wonderful story . i look forward to all your chapters!
What a beautiful chapter, can’t wait to see what’s next. Post soon, thanks!
It’s soo great that chapters are coming to you easily, tbsaver! Let’s hope that the streak continues! I agree with Bette on the “if only’s.” They’re no way to live life. However, I hope that she’s able to deliver on what she’s promising Tina. Something tells me Bette’s not as confident as she’s trying to be.
Fate has away of dealing you love and sometimes misery. Fate plays a major role in all of our life. Now it playing in Bette and Tinas life Hope that Tina do accept what Bette is trying to give. her. THANKS
nice
Bette should have told her thats why she was there in the first place. I think Tina will find out once they are in LA and think Bette just used her to get her art.
“what if I lose my inspiration once I am trapped in the bricks and mortar of modern life?” – What a great line!! I can relate to this on several different levels.
“Maybe there is something to be said for fate after all she thought. Because whatever else happens in my life, fate has bought me to Tina, and I am not giving her up without a fight.” – Since you have said that you have read my stories, you know how much I believe in fate…and because of that belief, how warm and fuzzy these two sentences made me feel. I had to laugh today, when I was telling a friend how much I love this story. Her response was something like…”Huh, yeah. I could tell by your comments.” Lovin this story, and damn proud of it!!
Well….. I hope you are awake this weekend to write more great chapters….I hope your team knows how lucky they are!!!!
Given this opportunity going to LA should be a no brainer for Miss Tina… Looks like heaven and earth will be moved to have this show in LA … you definately haven’t taken this far enough… go girl go…LOL
Waiting impatiently for the chapters 17 – ????? maybe 100 at least… think you can handle this?
THANK YOU!!!
Go on Tina take a leap of faith…you can’t go through life with “what ifs”..now i have a little inclining that Tina might feel a little claustrophobic in the concrete jungle that is L.A…just a thought, great update, TB.
Thank you.
