    Chapter 68 – I Miss You Too

    Tina was shocked when she saw that she had received a text from Bette last night.

    Bette Sexy Porter
    12:41 AM
    U were phenomenal on stage this
    evening, T. So talented. Sweet
    dreams darlin’

    Tina felt her breath hitch as the first real smile in more than 24 hours found its way back to her face.

     

     

    South Beach Bar & Grille – Ocean Beach, San Diego

    Bette and James were laughing hysterically at a story James was telling about an early career gig mix up that landed one of his goth-punk bands at a hog-tying competition on a remote ranch and his country musician client at a vampire convention.

    “You’ve gotta be kidding me?” Bette asked while laughing.

    “I swear to you! Cody came back with bite marks from a couple of goth chicks who cornered him in the parking lot and he was convinced that he was one of the undead.” A giggling James recounted.

    “And the band?”

    “I’ve never seen rope burns that bad, ever!”

    “Oh my god, that’s classic!”

    “Yeah, I’ve gotten into the habit of triple checking each artist’s itinerary before sending them off.”

    Bette shook her head, still chuckling.

    “You need another Sculpin, ‘cause I’m gonna grab another Swami’s IPA?”

    “What the hell, I’m on vacation, right?” Bette answered with a smile.

    “How are those mahi tacos by the way?”

    “Fantastic. You were right, this is one damn fine fish taco joint.”

    “Right on.”

    The waitress came by and James placed an order for another round of drinks for Bette and himself. The band manager had yet to discuss the Stouts or what her business plan was with him, so as the silence took over the small table, James was beginning to wonder what she had in mind.

    “So, are you looking for bands to do some jingles, or what’s your story?”

    Bette smiled. “You think I wanna put your talent to work writing jingle ads?”

    “I’m not really sure what to think. Why don’t you enlighten me, Ms. Porter?” James grinned. Bette appreciated his light-hearted approach. Based on the stories he was telling her, he was more interested in going to free shows and listening to the music live, as opposed to making a quick buck. She liked him instantly, and thought he could be a good match for her friends.

    1. Agree – again ! – with Bibi : Jodie totally matches this portrait of a bitch indeed !

      Now here, looking through my window, I enjoy the view of my quay’s trees, along the Arve – one of my city’s rivers – and as so often happens, my heart’s delighted that I’m lucky enough to live near such a lovely haven of greenery…
      You’re so right, alas, about climate, and I truly congratulate California and other cities and states to act against this bad-joke-of-president lack of consideration for Nature.

      Finally, you make me smile with delight reading our well named “Bette Sexy Porter” and “Tina Hot Kennard”‘s messages exchange ! Way to go, my dear lovebirds – now I’m waiting for your reconciliation :-)

      • The Arve? Are you in Australia, mate? ????

        Yes, our President is a moron But then again, so are a lot of folks in my country. It pains me that this administration is so careless with our environment. And some people just don’t care. Priorities are different for everyone though, I suppose.

        I thought it would be cute to show how they keep their crush’s contact info in their phones since no one but them would see it.

    2. I take the Aspirin *before* I go to bed after too much drinking. Waking up the next morning is so much easier then ;-)

      You captured Bette’s reflective, introverted side very well. Looks like the distance to Tina was exactly what she needed. Well, there’s truth in the saying that absence makes the heart grow fonder, isn’t it?

      “held out as long as I could….” – so cute.

      Thank you for posting! I save the next chapters for the next days.
      ’til then, cheers

      • Yes, aspirin before bed is usually my plan of attack, as well. But in those instances where I forget, it’s a big swig of pickle juice in the morning ????

        I do believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Smothering relationships, those where you are together all the time, so wrapped up in each other that you can forget yourself which is detrimental to relationship. Co-dependency makes for an extremely tumultuous situation. I firmly believe that two people should have their own interests, separate friends, and a life outside of their significant other. I’m not saying they should lead separate lives, but rather, they should live WITH one another as opposed to FOR one another. Does that make sense? Am I rambling? It’s probably because I decided to respond to comments after drinking a little booze tonight with some coworkers.

        Sorry. But I’m glad you’re stretching out the chapters over the week. That will get you used to the reduced postings in the weeks to come.

        Cheers!

        • No, you’re not rambling at all. I’m with you 100 %. I think it is important that both partners pursue their own interests without the other to grow as individuals. With those experiences they bring new impulse into the relationship – to nurse the relationship.

          Now I hope that I’m making sense. Difficult subject to write about in English … and that without booze… I might edit my comment later tonight after I enjoyed a glas of Cabernet Sauvignon ;-)
          Thanks for the tip with the pickle juice! Didn’t know that.
