Chapter 10
“I’m just concerned that her personal dislike for me will carry over into the job. What if she’s still jealous and takes it out on me? Maybe she’ll think that we’ll do something now that you’re single.”
“She can think whatever she wants. She’s lost the right to dictate how or with whom I spend my time Fran. I hope she wouldn’t use her power as your boss over you in a malicious way. If she does you have grounds to file a grievance with the board and I will support you. I told you that I won’t let our personal issues interfere with my arts programs. I am as committed as I’ve ever been. Tina has to respect that I am a benefactor of this center and there could be repercussions if she treats you any differently than anyone else. I’m the one that is responsible for introducing her to Oscar in the first place so she might not even have the job if it weren’t for me. If you need me to speak up on your behalf I’m happy to do it.”
“Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. I’ll make an appointment to talk to her next week. She and I need to work it out between us.”
“Fine but I really want you to be there. Shane and Val are riding up in the van with me and the kids. I hope to get Marcus and his son Chris to come. The van holds 12 comfortably so you can ride with us too. It’ll be fun.”
“Did I ever tell you I have the biggest crush on Marcus Allenwood?”
“Really?”

On Saturday evening Bette, Shane, Alice, Dana, Valerie and Leigh were seated at a VIP table at the Planet. Kit’s friend Susan Alegrato a Classical Cellist was performing on stage that night. Bette smiled at the budding romance between Leigh and Valerie and envied their young love. Alice and Dana were still in the infatuation stage of their relationship and couldn’t seem to keep their hands off each other. Shane was being a good friend by getting Bette out and reintroducing her to the singles scene. Bette was lost in thought when she was approached by a woman that she recognized as a member of the Betty band that did the duet with Kit. Her name was Alyson. She sat in the empty chair next to Bette.

Thanks so much for this chapter Bat; I see here that Bette is still like ‘I have nothing to do with Tina’s problems’. She is a little worry for knowing nothing from her ex, but that’s all. They were together for 7 years, and Bette doesn’t acknowledge any responsibility in their break out (personally I think Bette is in denial), as if everything was just Tina’s doing. I like the possibility of Bette dating a psychologist (she needs help in that department). It’s curious now that I see after ten chapters, on one side Tina feels very guilty, suffocated and alone and in the other side Bette feels the opposite than Tina, a victim, ready to let go and wrapped and protected by her friends. I don’t want to take sides with any of them but I feel a little unfairness in this relationship I don’t know if it is the cause or consequence of their dysfunction or if it is just part of it. Thank you again, I like so much you story, it makes me think on their situation; and I’m very captivated to know where you are taking us, I’m wanting eagerly for your next update.
Hello there BAT,been a long time,glad to see you posting again.Synopsis of what i understand so far,TINA/BETTE are having problems and broke up(not good)TINA then decides not to go the toy route but the real mccoy(so not good)Then she decides to date HENRY(major turn-off)and engages in hide the banana(i’m feeling squeemish)with this guy but pines for BETTE(therapyanyone?)BETTE is still hoping and not hoping to reconsile with her wife(ahemm),so now we have total dysfunction.Can TINA get her self together or will BETTE continue towards moving on?Talking is a little late for BETTE if she wants TINA to listen to what she has to say even if TINA does talk the shame alone of what she has done will drive her further away i think, but your story and like everyone else i too will wait. BE SAFE and hurry back.THANKS,
