Today he had bought with him 2 willing helpers in his brother and cousin. The packing crates had been ordered even before Bette’s departure, and had arrived in Nairobi 2 days ago. Vual had made it his personal mission to not only deliver them personally, but to help in the time consuming preparation for their departure for the US. Tina had half-heartedly told him that she could manage, until it was pointed out to her that the sooner her art work was packaged and ready to go, the sooner that she herself could make her journey plans.
______________________________________________________________________
Bette paced up and down, her right hand holding her phone to her ear, as she waited to be connected to the CAC. It had taken her a full 20 minutes to listen to he various messages left for her over the previous two weeks. First on her list though was to update Franklin on the amazing turn of events her journey had revealed.
“Bette?” Franklin answered, picking up the call he had been impatiently waiting for.
“Yes Franklin it’s me” Bette replied cheerfully.
“How was your trip” He enquired, silently crossing his fingers for the outcome he desired.
“Oh, Franklin,” Bette exclaimed. “It was the most amazing experience of my life” She enthused, her voice animated as she started to regale him with the stories of her few short days experiencing the joys that Africa had to offer.
“Bette!” Franklin interrupted impatiently. “I am so glad you had a nice time, but wasn’t there a point to your visit.”
Bette stopped suddenly, feeling hurt that he did not want to hear about her adventures in the wild. “Yes Franklin, She replied, a hard edge to her voice.
“Well?” Franklin prompted. “Did we get the artist or not?”
“Yes Franklin,” she stated, her voice showing her strain. “We got THE artist. She will be arriving in LA in a few weeks with her exhibit pieces. I suggest we set up a meeting on Monday to go over the details and requirements for the show. In the meantime I will take the weekend to start formulating our plans,”
Bette let Franklin talk for a few more minutes about the significance of her success for the CAC and her career, hardly listening, her mind instead wondering what Tina was doing right now.

tb sweetie, i heart you. hopefully this carpenter is not nailing anyone. heehee. you made a transitional chappy full of life, expectations, hope. dayum girl, you are the shiznit. i loved this chappy. please post soon. what time is it there. ;)
oh i forgot, CROO and i have compared notes. shes f’n funny.
Completely AWESOME, charming, loving and just plain dang wonderful. I can’t help myself T. I just love this story. Sorry I’ve been gone for a while. But i’m back now.
TB!! I like, I like very much. Great update.
A gold star…. hmh… don’t think so……………… but what about 2 GOLD STARS or would 2 PLATNUM STARS be better? ;-)
Over here right now a full tank of gas for the Land Rover would be worth GOLD (maybe a prepaid gas card for your holiday?) .. Yes we know we have been spoiled with gas price over the years on this side of the pond.
You know,” He continued, “A nice room, with a nice view, and a proper bed………………………..and a telephone. What is the time difference between here and LA?” – Vual is a very smart man!!!
Well I’m sitting here with a silly grin …. Another wonderful chapter in a great story.
Next chapter soon PLEASE!! (I couldn’t stop my fingers from asking for the next amazing chapter…. I know you are busy but……I’m just a SAP and love this story)
Vual: to the batmoblie tina.
Tina: can I play with the buttons
OK enough of that, that’s me trying to be funny.
WTF no animals?? I’m so going on strike until I get some animals!!
And what’s up with Bette’s room she needs to have some leopard print sheets and some fake palm tress, Tina lives in the bushes of Africa she doesn’t want to see neutral colors.
To show off her art collections WTF. Well, I know when I bring someone home it’s not to show off my art collection. OK so maybe I don’t have any art but that doesn’t matter.
OH and here we go with the carpenter, where to start…..
(hangs head low) T are you trying to start drama, I mean drama is kick ass, but I though you were going for loving mushy stuff?? Well, just make the carpenter look like angelina jollie and maybe I will forget about the drama and lack of animals in your story.
Shout out to albeez
Cute, cute, cute. Vual is the best! No, wait…you’re the best for making this wonderful story.
So, that make’s you #1, CR00 is #2 – for making me laugh until my roommate gets worried, and Vual is #3…
LOVIT!!!
once again another wonderful chapter. I can’t wait to see the girls together again. we miss this story while it’s in progress..thanks for the post
tbsaver….I have a concern. Wouldn’t it be wise for Bette to tell Tina the original purpose for her trip to Africa to begin with….before Tina arrives in LA? I would hate for Tina to think that Bette’s love for her was just a sham, just so she could procure an artist for the CAC. Shouldn’t she tell Tina before hand? Don’t know why that thought just popped into my head. Another excellent chapter!
niceeeeeeeee…transition chapter before the real LA!! yay..bring it on..!
Aww I missed you too, tbsaver! My vacation was fabulous, thanks for asking. Well I guess respite is defined as temporary. You’re such a tease! lol
I’m glad you’re having trouble keeping them apart too! Hehe It’s very considerate of Bette to make all these arrangements for Tina. Vual is such a nice guy! I’m glad Tina has him right now. Otherwise she’d go crazy! I’m looking forward to their phone call!!
Good to see you Tbsaver, this is nice chapter and can’t wait to see Tina in LA. Ok please post soon, thanks!
just caught up on several of your AMAZING chapters . thank u, thank u, thank U! i simply love this story … i’ve always wanted to go on safari (i’m a photographer) and u have teased my desires to the hilt. Hope your move went well . so looking forward to the upcoming chapters and LA :)
Putting Tina’s picture so she sees it every morning was just so cute. She’s got it bad.
She’s the consumate planner. What better person to have in charge of getting the house ready for Tina? Plus, she obviously has the connections. But, did you say…carpenter? Oh, please not her.
The fact that Bette wanted a new bed was an interesting twist. You never fully realize all the history that it holds, until it truly matters.
Niiiice comparison of Bette unwrapping Tina’s artwork and her undressing her. The visual was, uh…yeah. It’s all about the details.
The way you described Tina’s overwhelming feeling of packing away a life’s worth of accomplishments was very vivid. Amazing how powerful putting your life into boxes and crates can be.
I want a Vual of my own! He is one amazing man. She is going to miss him tremendously. Wise, tender and sweet man. Such a great friend.
After meeting Tina,Bette forgot what she went for. Hey she [Bette] had enough repect fpr Tina to get a new bed. starting fresh with a fresh bed. sound good to me. I like neutral color. they are cool and anything goes with it. thanks
What a wonderful quote…and so, so true, as we are proving every day! You can paint a picture for me anyday T!!
K
WONDERFUL!!! I love this so much. Can’t wait for T to get to LA.
Hey TB that was really wonderful chapter..T&B are really going to be climing the walls for each other…absense make the heart grow fonder.
Thank you.
