Chapter 77 – Flattery Will Get You Everywhere
James, Tayo, and Carmen had their chairs turned away from the conference table so that they could take advantage of the view offered by the 25th floor of the Century City building overlooking Santa Monica Boulevard and the Los Angeles Country Club. Alice was spinning slowly in the leather high-backed chair on the other side of the table while next to her, Shane wore her sunglasses inside the room to mask that her eyes were closed as she leaned back against the chair as far as it would allow her to recline.
On the other side of Shane, Kit and Angus were sitting next to each other looking through some of the paperwork they had already read and re-read before they even got to the office. At the head of the table farthest from the door, Bette was smiling while her fingers worked diligently to reply to Tina’s text messages, or, more appropriately, Tina’s sext messages.
Occasionally, Kit and Angus would glance over at the younger Porter, smile and shake their heads at the giddiness the usually business-minded woman was exuding. They enjoyed this new, relaxed Little P.
An audible gasp and wicked chuckle made everyone turn and look at Bette. “You are such a naughty, naughty girl.” The band’s manager mumbled under her breath as she smirked, unaware that her observation was loud enough for the rest of the people in the conference room to hear her.
Of course, Alice was the first to make the move to say something. She opened her mouth and was about to tease Bette mercilessly until she felt a firm hand grab her arm. The guitarist momentarily lost her voice and swung her head to the tight grip attached to her bicep.
“Owww, fuck, Shane, that hurts!” Alice whined as she pulled out of the drummer’s grasp.
The stirring and whining broke Bette’s attention from her phone and made her look up. Everyone but Shane and Alice, who was too busy rubbing her sore arm, was looking at Bette curiously with knowing grins.
“What?” She touched her cheek self-consciously. “Something on my face?” Shaking heads eased her mind until Alice finally spoke up.
“Tell the naughty, naughty girl sending you nude photos via text that you’re otherwise indisposed at a business meeting so the rest of us aren’t subjected to your horny giggles and subconscious declarations.”

Joyce is such a flirt!!!
I liked her in the L Word!!!
After next week only one chapter ????, ok only if you promise that the chapters have at least 7 pages, one for every day ????
Thanks for the updates!

I thought it would be funny to have Joyce overtly flirt with Kit much to Angus’s chagrin. She’s just too fun to write like that.
And no promises that the single chapters will be lengthy. Especially since they are already written. ????
BnTinmyhead says
Great chapters thank you.. love Bette and Tina together.. but they haven’t said the L word yet.. but its there.. lol. And you have Joyce spot on.. she so full of herself.. lol
meloveslu says
Joyce is just a gem to write. So fun.
kiwipit says
Joyce really is hilarious! Hitting on Kit. LOL
I enjoy her scences. Always funny though intelligent, sometimes a little too blunt but thouroughly honest.
In the show I didn’t like her when she was hitting on Tina but it was great how she got T + B to get their act together and come to a less aggressive solution for the separation and child care.
Thank you, MeLL, for this week’s postings. A pleasure to read as always :-)
How’s your car btw? All good again?
meloveslu says
Car is back on the road so all good there.
I felt like since they are in the same general age bracket, that it would be funny to have Joyce flirt with Kit while Angus steams in the corner. I did enjoy playing with her character in this fic.

What, you really let us pending with this unfinished business scene ? And in top of that, your awful news about only 14 chapters left ? Really, dear MeLL, I didn’t figure you as being such a Machiavelian – even sadistic ! Here ist my most indignant and saddened pout…
meloveslu says
Hahaha. Sorry!
And no one has ever called me Machiavellian. I think I like that. ????
Therese_Belivet says
At least I can read again this adorable scene with our two favorite lovebirds and laugh once more with the gang’s banters… and Joyce’s irresistible nerve with Kit ! Your Bette is truly intoxicating, by the way, I’m more than ever addicted,
meloveslu says
Addiction is a serious thing. Hopefully we won’t have to commit you once the story is finished! ????

Too late !!! (Therese, from her padded room, in a straightjacket… pretty well the only possible straight part in me ! ;-) )
