After the Kiss: Chapters 5 & 6 The Party
Bette – Hi Tina … how are you?
Her mind wanders and her face slowly breaks into a smile.
————————————————–
David Ross’ mansion, night: Tina and Eric walk up the long driveway of the Beverly Hills mansion, which is completely packed with expensive cars. They are greeted by a beautiful woman at the front of the mansion holding an invite list by the massive and intricately carved baroque style double doors.
They step into the mansion and the producer looks up in awe at the beautiful thirty-feet high foyer. A waiter offers them drinks and they follow another young woman to a large open room where the party is taking place.
Tina’s eyes quickly scour the room from her vantage point, a couple of steps above the crowd of elegant and beautiful people.
She is not here …, the blonde thinks with a mix of relief … and disappointment.
She notices that the two sets of double French doors across the room are open and the crowd has spilled out into the outdoor terrace.
Or maybe she is outside …, the producer ponders with a sigh and takes a gulp of her champagne.
Eric – Hi, Andy!
The blonde comes out of her musing when her boyfriend pulls her by the hand and greets a man in his forties, standing nearby with a group of people.
Andy – Hey, Eric! How are you?
They shake hands.
Eric – I’m great! Have you met my girlfriend … Tina Kennard? Tina, this is Andy Stewart, the smartest art collector in town!
Andy laughs and shakes hands with Tina.
Andy – Nice to meet you, Tina!
Tina – Nice to meet you, Andy!
Eric – I didn’t see you at the Bette Porter Gallery three weeks ago, Andy. How could you miss her opening?!
Andy – Yeah, I was in New York that day. But I made sure to visit her last week!

David Ross’ mansion, night: Eric and Tina approach David, who is talking to a few people.
Eric – Excuse me, David …
The art dealer turns to him.
David – Oh … hello, Eric!
Eric – Hi, David!
They shake hands.
Eric – Thank you for inviting us!

Yeah Tina, you need to listen David – dump Eric and seduce Bette! Maybe you can lose another earring?

Hi Therese_Belivet,
Nice to see you again after so long. Your name and posts are unforgettable! :D
Back then I was really terse, writing it strictly as a script., but I now think that there is more to say in these first chapters.
Glad you’re joining us! And please keep the old story to yourself. *wink*

Hi DBff:
Great chapter, Tina is still in denial but hard to contain herself, and from my point of view is ready to give up; looking at Bette like a teenager who can’t control her emotions.
But that is good because she is hard to get, for Bette, this is not just attraction, it’s also a challenge.
Thanks for the wonderful chapter, pps.

This Bette and Tina are both intriguing and mysterious. They are both having emotions which they do not recognize and cannot seem to identify. It seems they have an attraction to the someone which is either taboo or unattainable, but seems irresistible. I love this story so far. I look forward to seeing how these two make their way to each other.

Tina is in deep denial over her feelings for Bette. I hope she doesn’t keep rejecting Bette’s advances and make Bette seek out other women. I will be interested to know why Tina is afraid to accept her attraction for Bette.
Great story! Can’t wait for more!
Bibi28 says
Great update dbff!!!
Tina so in denial about her feelings and attraction to Bette. Her mouth is saying one thing but her eyes spoke the real truth and Bette catched that.
Others can see the connection between them but her own boyfriend is as clueless as always.
Looking forward to see the story develop.
