Chapter Seven

“I heard that you needed to see me Bette.” Phyllis walked into Bette’s office.

“Take a seat Phyllis.” Phyllis took a seat and crossed her legs. “I need to ask you a favor.”

“What would that be?”

“Do you still stay in touch with Katherine Brooks?” Phyllis looked away and then back at Bette.

“Yes occasionally, why do you ask?” Bette smiled.

“Well—Tina is doing this movie called Lez Girls.”

“After the story that was in the New Yorker,” Bette sighed.

“Yes,” she pushed her hair out of her face. “Since the first director quit from the movie, I was wondering if you would call Katherine to see if she would like to direct the movie.”

“I don’t know Bette—it’s going to be a little hard—,” Bette held up her hand.

“I did you a favor—now; it’s your turn to return the favor. I want you to do this one thing for me, just call the woman and convince her to do it. She was your first Phyllis, and I k now you can do it.” Phyllis sighed.

“All right—I’ll see what I can do.” Bette smiled.

“Thank you Phyllis.” Phyllis got up from the chair and began to walk out.

“Has Tina said anything about me?” She turned back.

“No, no she hasn’t. I just want you to know though Phyllis. Tina and I are working our relationship. We’re working on getting back together, so no more of you thinking of Tina. Okay,” Bette smirked.

“I’ll call you when I got my answer from Katherine.” Phyllis walked out of the office.

“Do you think that Bette can come through with Katherine Brooks to be the director of Lez Girls?” Alice and Tina made their way up the hill at the park.

“She said that Phyllis and Katherine had a fling when she went to school there. So she thinks that Phyllis can pull some strings and get Brooks to do the movie.”

“I really hope that she can come through for you because she’ll just dig herself in a bigger hole with you.” Alice smiled. “So have you got her yet for you going on a date with Phyllis?”

“It wasn’t a date—I was just on her arm, but no I haven’t got her yet for that. It’s coming soon.”
