Chapter 14
(Alice frowns) What came up?
(Bette) Nothing you need to worry about
(Alice) Something to do with Tina then?
Bette doesn’t respond and Alice sighs.
(Alice) You are all over the place on this one
Bette still doesn’t respond.
(Alice) OK, well just take care of yourself, whatever you’re doing here. I’m in your corner but you must know the odds are stacked against you. There’s a good chance it’ll end in a whole lot of hurt for you
(Bette) I appreciate the concern, but I’m fine
(Alice sighs) OK then, well good luck I guess
(Bette smiles) Thanks Al
That evening, Bette and Tina sit together at a small table in a cosy bar, enjoying a glass of wine before the main attraction commences.
(Tina) You must be excited about your new gallery space
(Bette smiles) I am, very much
Bette’s face lights up as she talks and Tina smiles watching her.
(Bette) It’s exactly the space I imagined when I first started thinking about opening a gallery
(Tina) Well I can’t wait to see what you do with it
They share a smile.
(Bette) And how is the campaign going so far? Is it crazy from the start or does it slowly get there?
(Tina smiles) Not crazy yet, but it will be soon enough I’m sure
(Bette) From what I’ve read it seems like he has an excellent chance at success
Tina nods.
(Tina) Yes, I guess you never know what’s ahead, anything can happen in this game. But he’s very popular so with any luck he’ll get there
Bette pauses for a sip of wine.
(Bette) So, First Lady of California. That’s the title isn’t it?
Tina nods and also has a sip of wine.
(Bette) Is that still the title if you’re not married?
Tina looks at her and takes a breath before responding.
(Tina) We plan to marry before he takes office
They look at one another intently before they are pulled from the moment as the lights dim, and a pianist begins to play a soft tune from the stage in the corner of the room. A woman’s beautiful deep voice joins after a few bars and they both turn towards the musicians and listen for a while together.

Bette needs to start dating. That should make Tina decide what and who she wants in her life. Jealousy, it wakes up the monsters.

Lately, i find myself opening this site and checking if there’s a new chapter from you. This story is wonderfully addictive. Tibette endgame!!

Another post, thank you. So the angst begins. Why is Tina going to marry someone she doesn’t love? What is the hold between her and Andrew? Damn, that fine Bette Porter is getting her heart broken. I don’t know. This is the least likely Tibette match up yet! PPS
