    Chapter 12

    He lifted her chin and kissed her cheek as he gently whispered ‘hello beautiful’ and graced her with his magnetic smile. He helped her back into her seat then sat down across from her. They busied themselves with the menus, quickly deciding on entrees and a complementary bottle of wine.

    “So what brings you to New York?” Marcus asked as he relaxed into the soft leather cushion and sipped his water.

    “I spent the weekend with Allyn Barnes and her daughter Alyson Cabot. She’s agreed to exhibit her work at the CAC after 20 years in seclusion. Can you believe that?”

    “Bette, that’s quite a coup. You’re really making a name for yourself. In just over a year the CAC has earned a sterling reputation for being one of the most dynamic and progressive art centers in the country. Congratulations.”

    “Thank you Marcus. I’m really proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish in such a short time. I’m also here to meet Helena Peabody to talk about allocation of grant money to make sure that the funding is appropriated to projects that Peggy would approve.”

    “Is Helena still funding the arts because everyone I’ve talked to that submitted individual proposals have been denied? I heard there was only one exception but I don’t know who. Helena’s nothing like her mother Bette, and she’s making sure everyone in New York knows it. She’s pretty cut throat.”

    “I know she’s not fond of the arts but I didn’t realize that she’d taken it that far. No wonder she’s taken a dislike to me. It explains why I’ve gotten on her bad side.”

    “Not surprising considering her mother adores you. I’ve known Peggy for years and I don’t think she’s ever mentioned Helena to me even once. Don’t you think that’s a little strange that she’d talk more about you than her own daughter?”

    “I don’t think they have much in common Marcus. Peggy and I are close because we share the same passions. We fill a need for each other that we can’t get with other people. I connect with her like I did with my mom and I guess she connects with me in ways that she doesn’t with Helena.”

    1. Great job BAT, helena is such a bitch and I’m happy that you did not try to make her a nic e person, she needs to have her face kicked in and hopefully Bette will be up to the task. I could never stand her on the show, such an evil bitch. As much as I care àbout Tina she has really disappointed me in this story and I almost feel sorry for her, almost. Since Tina is with henry maybe helena will not be able to get her nasty hooks into her. Thanks for posting. Have a great week.

    2. Hey Bat, this chapter was really amazing, I like so much the change in Bette’s mood, though I know, the pain is still under her skin, I was wondering about the sexual orientation of Allyson, thinking on a possible affair with Bette, but for me, Bette definitely have to change her ways. I guess Helena will approach Tina, and will make (or try at least) her to come back from hetero-Ville, as we know Tina is attracted to women “even though you are the only woman I have ever been with I’m also attracted to women” as she said in the former chapter, and we know it is not about sex but the emotional connection as you said in chapter 9, I don’t know if Tina will find that with Henry (I doubt it, for me disgusting), and she still doesn’t get her answers; but Helena being the bitch that she is, may want to go after Tina, to show Bette, that she could achieve what the director of the CAC couldn’t. I really going to miss your daily updates, thank so much for this story, I’ll be waiting for the next one as everybody else; have a good trip.
