Tina wiped the sweat from her brow, the air-conditioning in her studio barely making an impression on her tired body, as she worked to pack up her life’s work into the sturdy wooden boxes Vual was constructing in the main compound.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, she had learned that the red tape she would have to go through to get this work through customs and onto a suitable cargo flight would take weeks to arrange. She needed help and she needed it now.
She lifted her head as Vual entered with yet another newly constructed box, his muscled body glistening with the sweat of his endeavours.
“Are you ok?” He asked noticing Tina’s furrowed brow.
“I guess” She replied, not really sure.
“You are impatient to leave here my friend” He stated.
Tina looked up at his towering frame, feeling guilty for trying to rush her departure, instead of enjoying the little time she had left with her good friend. “I’m sorry” she said sadly.
Vuals face was lit up by his beaming smile, as he looked at his good friend tenderly. “You are sorry for making me build all these boxes? He began teasingly “You are sorry for leaving me here? Or you are sorry you did not leave with Bette when you had the chance?” He asked his brows razed quizzically.
Tina laughed, along with him, swiping his arm playfully. “I will miss you, you know” she said, knowing that their relationship was about to change forever.
“Of course” Vual replied, “As I will miss you. Now little one, you have a frown to darken the very skies above us. Tell me what I can do?”
Tina explained the problems she had with the art work, and her worries about the travel arrangements that were getting more complicated by the minute. “I just don’t know what to do” she said in confusion. “How do I get all of this to LA?” She asked, looking around her at the chaos that was rapidly taking over her life.
Vual opened his arms to embrace his petite friend in his giant like frame. “Well” he said softly, “Then you will come with me, and together we will solve your problem. Come little one, it is time we went to the city. If we go now we will make it in time to visit my sister before she finishes work.” he said, smiling at his plan.
“and visiting Mahita is going to help us how exactly” Tina enquired confused
“Well, as the head receptionist at the Grand Regency Hotel, she can arrange for a room for you to use while you make your travel arrangements. 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?” He wondered out loud.
Tina looked up at the gentle giant who had been her trusty guide for so long, and grabbing his hand dragged him excitedly toward the door.
Vual shook his head at Tina’s childlike excitement. “So now you want to visit my sister Huh?” He said Laughing as they made their way out to the Land Rover

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.
