Tina moved towards Bette, sidling up to her slowly, sidestepping, as she was facing the same direction. She was trying to decipher exactly what Bette Porter was looking at.
She stopped when she was about a foot away and they just looked at the Acropolis stretched out before them.
Bette spoke, just as Tina opened her mouth to speak.
“I can’t believe how big it is,” she said, softly. “It’s incredible. So much detail.”
“Yes,” said Tina. “We wanted it to feel real. We wanted to live in it”, she chuckled, but a bit dryly. “The Director of Photography and I fought to have it. You can do so much digitally now, the studio didn’t want to pay for this. But I eventually got my way.” Bette turned and smiled at that, while Tina shrugged, still staring ahead.
“Well, I know Greece a little, and it’s certainly impressive, Tina”, said Bette still smiling.
She saw Tina’s small smile in her profile. But she never turned to face Bette, so she couldn’t see her eyes.
“She’s right this way”, she motioned. Bette followed her.
Tina took a deep breath now. She was finally here.
They entered a large side door off the set, onto a smaller set, still the size of a small theatre. There was a large male FBI agent standing just beyond the door with an earpiece and a clipboard discussing something with Tasha. They walked around long lines of police tape held by stanchion posts and there were more guards that Bette thought were likely hired by the Louvre to guard the damaged piece.
Bette’s heart rate sped up. She was lucky to get here in time. She knew that it wouldn’t be long now before the Venus was taken back to France, to the likely very upset Director Martinez.
They met up with Alice and Shane and then Tasha led them through what appeared to be a hastily erected black curtain, to the scene of the crime.
Tina clasped Alice’s hand tightly as they went through, Bette and Shane noticed and looked at each other briefly, communicating non-verbally.
As she came through behind the rest of the group Bette gasped at the scene before her.

I am loving this story. Your writing conjures so much imagery. Clearly there is a connection developing between Tasha and Alice. I like that you are mixing in a bit of the old with this new take on characters especially Bette and Tina. I know it is early but this may be my favorite depiction of Bette Porter. Previously I mentioned James Bond but now I must add the possibility of a touch of Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible because I love the idea of Bette Porter on a fast and expensive bike. Kick ass Porter! I need to find a female example. Definitely a cut above Charlie’s Angels. The description of Shane is very similar to KM as Lena in Ray Donovan. In fact I picture her that way. Very cool. Very sexy. Seems that Aaron and Eric are going to be involved in some evil deeds. This is so much fun!!!!
Thanks Billy, yes I love writing Bette as a badass. She’s so intense, it just seems to fit. I thought, what would a young Bette Porter be like if she had it all? In regards to Shane, I never watched Ray Donovan, so I don’t know anything about that character. I’ll have to check it out. And yes, Tasha and Alice have something simmering, but we’ll see if Alice can stay out of her own way long enough for them to make that connection. And I agree, Tina needs to watch her back at work. Thanks for your comments. I’m so glad you’re liking it!
Very happy and excited to read a new Bette & Tina story. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Thank you Cathy! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it.
Bette’s description of the history of this piece and the fact that she is touching the marble body while telling the story is very erotic. I can see why Tina is so mesmerized by Bette and they have not even had a real conversation yet.
Why did they not introduce Shane in the meeting? Tasha didn’t get an intro from Shane. Strange… When you bring someone from the outside to consult, everyone gets introduced in the initial meeting.
I must admit that this Bette has a whole added new dimension with her multiple residences, her jet, and of course her custom bike. Shane being her technical side kick seems to fit her personality well.
So what was inside the Venus that was stolen? And how and why did Dana go to the studio after hours? It does look like Eric may be involved. Possibly Aaron, but he is probably a stooge in the crime.
This is exciting and mysterious stuff….can’t wait for the next chapter…
Yes, Tina is certainly mesmerized by Bette, and vice versa. You’ll see much more of their magnetism in the next chapter.
As for the meeting at Tasha’s office. There were two reasons that Shane didn’t get her introduction, first because they all thought she was Bette when she walked into the room and second, Bette was so caught up in Tina that she fumbled hard in that meeting.
Also, Shane is not very comfortable around people, she was happy to keep her mouth shut. And seeing Bette’s reaction to Tina was just as surprising for her. She doesn’t often see Bette imbalanced.
As for the Venus, well, she’s keeping her secrets for now. The next chapter will be slightly more insightful. Bette has a lot of thoughts and we’ll get to read some of them.
Thanks for your awesome comments. I’m so glad that you’re in for the ride.
You seemed to be just as excited to post your story for us as we are to read it. Thank you.
I love the detail of your writing for each seen and emotion of all the characters.
Looking forward to the next chapter.
Thanks bub! I am excited! I’ve been writing this story for a few months and it’s so good to finally have some feedback.
As for the detail, I’m glad you like it. Setting the scene is my favorite part of writing.
Looking forward to reading what you think of the next chapter when we finally get Bette and Tina alone.
Fantastic chapter!
You describe everything very detailed, i love it!
They met and are clearly smitten already with each other!
The way you describe every detail give me the feeling i am a part of this scene, or story. It is brilliant how you write it. You can see that you put a lot of energy in searching and describing everything! Well done ????
I can see Bette on that motor bike, swimming in her pool and wandering around her beautiful house!
Aaron and Eric, never trust those men, i think they are somehow involved in this case. Eric for sure, i don’t trust that man and Tina should be very careful around him.
Looking forward to the next chapter!
AGREE 100% to everything BiBi said. Great story.
Thanks BK. I’m still so psyched that you’re reading my story while I read yours!
Thank you Bibi!
Yes, I get caught up in the detail. We all love Tibette from seeing them first on the screen, so it feels natural to want to visualize them. I want you to be able to see every movement, hear every breath, and then read each thought.
It’s so fun to write them! Can’t wait for you to read the next chapter when they spend some time together.
Awesome writing, you really have a gift. Thank you for sharing your talent. Loved this chapter, you promised and delivered. Thanks for not letting us wait a week. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks BAT! I’m so glad you are enjoying it! I wrote a really fun chapter last night, but that’s far down the road from what you’re reading now. Can’t wait for you to read the next chapter. You’ll start to really feel their pull to one another.
How fun a read. I love the details, sucker that I am about research. The beginning really captures the reader.
Can’t wait to see where you take us.

Thanks SuperK! I posted another chapter last night. I hope you’ll read it. Not much in the way of research for this particular chapter, but the next one does for sure. I too, am a sucker for the research. Just spent 5 hours reaching for about six paragraphs in a chapter I’m currently working on that’s much farther down the road. It’s my fave part.
P.S. I’m a huge fan of your stories!

Your writing is just amazing, another great chapter. Keep them coming! Oh, and Bette in leather on a motorcycle, *whew*…one of my fantasies…love it, thank you for sharing your story with us! ????????
So good! I love the imagery. Thanks
Literally one of my favorite stories on this site. Incredible descriptive writing. I loved the Tibette meeting. Can’t wait to read more! Chapter 3, pretty pretty please?
Oh I’m loving this!
Bette is superb nd I love the relationship with Shane.
Tina needs to keep her wits about her at work. Don’t like Eric at all.
I have to admit to always finding Alice irritating and I do here too :-)
Looking forward to regular posts please.
