Bette’s Dilemma-The Confrontation Pt 2
Continuing to ignore Tina Jodi began to sign again and Tina was certain she saw a mist form on the sculptor’s lashes. What the hell is she trying now? Tina fumed as she waited for Bette’s interpretation of the rapid hand gestures, desperately praying that Bette would not avoid the interpretation to spare her feelings. To Tina’s relief Bette’s interpretaion followed swiftly on Jodi’s signing as though she could sense the anxiety that stirred inside Tina.
"Fine, I will retract my accusations. I will contact the Board of Directors but you have no idea what it was like Bette, why I chose what I did. You cannot seriously want me to walk away from my art. If there was anything real about our relationship if you knew me at all, you know that my art is my life. How could you demand that I do this…it is like asking me to commit spiritual suicide! Did you love me at all??"
Tina found herself holding her breath as she waited almost as intently for Bette’s answer as Jodi did. If Bette was going to falter Tina knew this was the moment it would happen and somehow she needed to provide Bette with the support she needed to do what she had to. Almost as though she could read Tina’s thoughts Bette raised her emotion clouded eyes and looked directly at Tina before she answered.
"Our relationship was real Jodi–real enough that your accusations cut me to the core. I know what your art means to you but it does not change the fact that you have lied about who you are about a significant part of you and I cannot stand back and know that and pretend I don’t. I am not saying you can’t create your art any longer–you can if you want to but you need to come clean about the truth." Pausing briefly as though to choose just the right words Bette continued, "Jodi I have always admired your passion, your talent, your genius and until I discovered this you had despite your accusations on some level my respect. You are a talented artist. If the art world can’t see this even in light of the reality of your deception then it will truly short change itself."

Bette was so the alpha Bette but much more muture. Jodie felt that Tina would fight for Bette. That said dont mess with my family. Jodie will not work again if she doesnt come clean. To me she cheated the world of Art,by not being trueful. thanks
Is the dilemma over? I feel its not :)
I am glad that Tina was there to support Bette in the difficult confrontation with Jodi. Bette standing firm and strong with Jodi seems to have closed a door for her and allowed both Tina and Bette to move forward. I look forward to “executive training”. :)
Jodi really is a bitch. How can she blame Bette for protecting herself? It was Jodi who started this mess. If she had not accussed Bette of taking advantage of her then none of this would have happened. Thank you for the post.
glad jodi’s sorted…pps
loved how B&T worked together so that Jodi realized how serious they were about fighting her accusations & that their relationship was solid….excellent post, bring on the executive training! ;)
this Bette is so mature and amazing, I love the fact that she has grown into a responsible sensitive women, Tina is a great partner and they are incredible together and complete each other, your style is breath taking and so evolved, your story is one of the kind that you want to read more than once. Thank you so much for the never ending pleasure and post soon.
Leesa, this chappy was a delight to read, as you have described thoroughly how Bette has grown as a person and her determination to fight to get her family back, as well as show Tina that she’s more comfortable to let her vulnerable side surface, thereby indicating the complete trust that she said she will put in Tina’s care. Beautiful display of the confrontation. You did an amazing job here. Thanks for sharing. PPS Lucero & Marsha – From Mexico City
