Chapter 3
Wednesday night.
Dana set the outdoor table with plates and cutlery as Alice brought out the bowls of salad from the fridge. Bette was at the BBQ, checking that the steaks were done before placing them, along with the potatoes, on serving plates and bringing them over to the table to join the group.
This time, Alice would not be shaken from her quest to find out more about Bette’s trip.
“C’mon Porter. Tell us more. I don’t believe you don’t have pictures to show us!”
“They’ll arrive in a few days Alice; I promise we’ll have a holiday slide show night as soon as they get here.” Bette teased her oldest friend and former lover.
“So, the show in Florence went well?” Dana was always the one to pick the topic back up when Alice sent it flying in other directions.
“Amazingly well, I’d love to go back, that’s the plan anyway. There’s still so much of Italy I want to see.”
“You only just got home.” Alice whined.
“I didn’t say I was leaving tomorrow… I haven’t even made plans yet; in fact James said there’s already a bunch of galleries here that are showing an interest in my slides, so there are a few prospects for some shows, which means I’ll probably be back here for a while. But I’m not done travelling. It was amazing Alice, seeing all these different parts of the world, I feel like I just got started before I left…”
“Why did you leave? Is Kit ok?” Shane tried to keep the concern out of her voice.
“Kit?” Bette furrowed her brow, wondering what Kit had to do with Italy.
“Well your last postcard… it was from Philly… we figured you’d stopped by to see the family before coming home…”
“Uh yeah… I did… I was in Philly for about a week. Kit is great, 2 years sober and counting, got a new record deal, she’s doing really well…” Alice and Dana excitedly filled Tina in on the previous success of Bette’s sister, Kit Porter.
“Bette?” Shane touched Bette’s arm as she lowered her voice so only the brunette would hear her… knowing there was something more here. Bette looked down at her plate; she had not planned to talk to them about it tonight. She had just wanted to come home and have everything be normal, be with her friends, to have her life back.

SUPER HOT. Thanks for the post, and I hope to read more tension between Bette and Tina. They belong together!

I was re-reading this chapter and I had missed the fact that Bette and Shane were sharing a private conversation. Is something wrong with Bette and she wants to put off talking about it, or is it something totally different?
How could have stopped there…tease!! I can’t wait for Bette to put on the serious moves and Eric…gone.
To quote parts of another song”…By the time this night is over…Eric is a distant memory. PPS
Woo hoo…you go Bette! And so it begins. That dance was very sexy. Great update TP! More please.
OMG! You can’t stop there! Another post soon please.
OMG shame for stopping there! :)PPS
Really really like your twist on the story – what is Bette up to with Tina – we don’t know what’s going on inside her head yet. Also what is Bette’s secret for Shane only – is Bette ill?See how curious you have me – thanks for this story.
