    Chapter 15

    Tina had taken Bette’s advice and submitted the proposal to the Peabody Corporation for the grant to fund the Campaign for Quality Education projects at the center. The funding would allow them to bring K-6th grade kids from all socio-economic situations and put them in a community outreach program to teach literacy and critical thinking.

    Several staff members gathered in Tina’s office and surrounded her computer as she went online to the Peabody website to view the grant announcements. She read it out loud “The WeHo Youth and Family Center was granted $100,000”. A footnote denoted that this was the single largest grant ever awarded to a community outreach program. The entire office applauded and cheered at the news. The atmosphere was charged with excitement.

    Tina accepted the accolades for a job well done, but once everyone settled down and left her office she went back to the website. She was curious to know what the CAC had received. She got all the way to the bottom then scrolled up again but saw no mention of it. The only grant listed for the arts was an individual one for Jodi Lerner. She recognized the name of Bette’s ex-girlfriend. They hadn’t talked about her in years but Tina knew that Bette despised her and so did Peggy. However, she wondered at the omission of a CAC grant. She was sure Bette had put in for one and knew that in years past Peggy Peabody always supported the arts generously.

    Tina picked up the phone to call Bette. She was sure Bette had seen the announcements but even though Bette had encouraged her to put in the proposal she didn’t know how she would react to Tina’s winning a grant when the CAC hadn’t.

    Tina would be seeing Bette and the gang that evening at Jenny and Marina’s engagement party so she thought it best to get a feel for Bette’s mood beforehand. She took a deep breath and dialed Bette’s direct line at the CAC bypassing going through her assistant Michael.

    “Bette Porter” The brunette answered as was customary for the office line.

    “Hi Bette, it’s Tina”

    “Hey. What’s up?” Bette asked, somewhat surprised to hear from Tina when they didn’t have any center business to discuss.

    1. Great update BAT. Gosh, helena is a superlative BITCH!!!, and Tina fell right into her trap like a fool. Can’t imgine what she is thinking. Hopefully you won’t let her continue in this vein. What I would like to know is what Bette and Bruce came up with to burn her scheming, no good ass. Hopefully Peggy is on her back and will be highly pissed since helena has gone out of her way to deepsix everything that she has worked so hard for over the years. I know you will reveal all in due time. Thanks for the update. Hope you enjoyed your time away.

    2. Hey Bat, hope you had a nice time away. Just caught up with your last couple of posts and I really try to find something nice to say about Tina but sorry she’s just downright malign. And by the way what happened to Henry? Did they break up, or do they have an open relationship? I wouldn’t put it past Tina to cheat on him with Helena, but I thought I just give her a little credit and ask as I don’t remember reading anything about a breakup.

      Really love seeing Bette being happy with Emma and starting a family. Totally understand that Tina is somehow jealous about Bette not pinning after her but instead getting help and being able to accept that their relationship is beyond repair.

      As for Helena – watch out you will not know what hit you when Bette’s finished with you. Let’s just hope Tina’s smart enough to safe herself and does not go down with Helena.

      Again thank you very much for bringing this story back and for your regular posts. Looking forward to your next chapter.

    3. Great update yet will this story continue down this road because as much as BETTE seems to have moved on her first thoughts are always about TINA. HELENA over estimated her so call control over TINA but she will realize too late that BETTE PORTER is off limits .Will TINA accept the fact that BETTE is pregnant and she is not the other mother?THANKS,ps
