“I wouldn’t call it arrogant and demanding but you know how passionate I get about art and believe me I have Peggy’s support. There was no reason to consider that we wouldn’t get the money but unbeknownst to me I practically handed her the bullet that she used to shoot me down. Before I even left the building she’d asked her assistant to toss the CAC file and to give your proposal priority as soon as it arrived. Tina yours and Jodi Lerner’s proposals were the only two she approved. She didn’t give any monies to any other programs. The Boston project she talked to me about got pushed aside. It was all bullshit.”
“Maybe our programs just won out. It’s a great opportunity Bette, and it will benefit hundreds of children.”
“Tina I’m not taking anything away from the value of your program but we put a lot of thought into that proposal to make sure we had adequate funding. You can do everything you set out to do with $30,000. Think about it … you received $100,000. The Boston project was asking for $35,000 to convert a hotel into a shelter for homeless women and children. In the past several years Helena has funded three or four very worthy programs with the amount of money she granted to just your project. And another thing that doesn’t fit is her being here in Los Angeles. Her focus has always been on the east coast. She’s never even set foot in Los Angeles for anything other than pleasure. Under the circumstances you don’t think it strange that all of a sudden she has two projects here; yours and Jodi Lerner’s? That’s not just happenstance. She made this grandiose show here where she knew it would have the most impact on me and her mother. Alice said it ‘she’s invaded our turf’. I know she can be charming and she’s got you wrapped but she’s manipulative and conning. She thinks she’s found the perfect instrument to get to me. You’re a means to an end Tina. She’s here to fuck with me and fucking you is just gravy.”
“Bette I’m trying not to take offense to this, because I want to understand but I really don’t appreciate you inferring that I’m just some fuck toy. Why would she use me to get to you? We’re not together anymore?”

Love the quick update. Tina is such a fool. Thanks
OMG!!!!! If only Tina would listen to common sense. She will live to regret being so impetuous, maybe. I knew she would not listen to Bette.Tina acts as though she has lost her ability to discern negative actions . Poor fool. Thanks for posting.
Hi Bat, thanks for the update. The bad news is that Tina is still sinking the good news is that she is back into women, well indeed it seems that Tina has to keep falling more and more, I am surprised that she didn’t get any professional psychological help (she was the one looking for it in the show, well, I know this is not the show) and she really need it, Tina should stop the placebos as Henry the situation here is that Tina doesn’t have a real friend and Henry is just a friend with benefits, but the one that get the more benefits is Henry and not Tina, as we read, after several months Tina is still subsiding. I think Bette must have talked to Tina before Helena arrived to LA, because now is too late everything looks too awkward. As sad as the story is, I love it, please don’t hesitate and keep posting and I will be waiting for tomorrow’s chapter. Thanks again pps.
proteonomics – I agree that Tina continues to sink and her relationships with both Henry and Helena is disturbing. She should get some professional psychological help but if you recall on the show she didn’t. She went to Foxworthy when they were trying to have the baby and after she miscarried but once she got pregnant with Angelica she dismissed therapy and it was Bette that sought out Foxworthy on her own. It was also Bette that suggested they see the sex therapist after the baby was born and they were having problems. That’s the main reason why I had Bette in therapy even though it was also to introduce her love interest (Emma) because I think Bette really wanted to be a better person while Tina just acted on her impulses with total disregard for how it hurt other people. Even in the way she used Henry was heartless.
As for Bette talking to Tina before Helena arrived in Los Angeles – I don’t think she anticipated Helena using Tina or putting her in danger.
Getting ‘back to life’ and ‘back to reality’ after my break and happy to see your regular postings continue.
I love and will read all your stories regardless of my aching Tibette heart at them not being together simply because of the talented way you write both the stories and the characters. I find myself wanting to ‘smack’ Tina in this post but you will know that! Wkm is right she is ‘a fool’ and your Author’s Note was not quite correct in that she certainly did not ‘hear’ Bette.
Thank you and look forward to your continuing posts.
Hi SassyGran – it is hard to get back to life and reality but glad you were able to take a break. Sorry this story is so heartbreaking. I hesitated to re-post it but I appreciate that people are still reading and commenting. You are correct Tina didn’t ‘hear’ anything Bette said, but she will come to her senses in time.
TINA is another forecast:cloudy with a slight chance of thunderstorms.How in GOD’s name does she not see the control HELENA is exerting over her life.BETTE did warn her but the storm is fast approaching and TINA will get caught up in the downpour all because she is letting a cunt do her thinking instead of using her head.I PITY THIS FOOL .THANKS,ps.
dunnthat – I love your analogy. I would increase the slight chance of thunderstorms to tornado warnings!! Tina is going to sink pretty low, but all is not lost. She will come to her senses eventually. Thank you for reading and commenting
