Bette and Tina shared a look. “I have a career, Jodi. I have no interest in pursuing music professionally.”
“You should really reconsider, Bette. Because you are extremely talented.”
“Can’t you ever take ‘no’ for an answer?” Tina incredulously asked the agent. Jodi was slightly taken aback by Tina’s frankness. “I mean, Jesus Christ, Lerner. You’re really unshakable, you know that?” Bette stroked her girlfriend’s back in an attempt to calm her down.
“I prefer iron-willed, Kennard.” Jodi shot back.
“Well, I’ll tell you what I prefer…”
“Okay, okay, okay, ladies,” Bette slightly stepped between Tina and Jodi to try to diffuse the situation. “Thanks for the compliment, Jodi, but I can assure you, I don’t need or want an agent for myself.”
Jodi pursed her lips in a tight smile. “Did Joyce happen to come check out the show? I haven’t been able to get her when she’s in the office.”
“Joyce was invited, but I’m not sure if she’s here or not.” Bette responded.
“I thought you might need another beer after you rocked that stage, Bette!” James exclaimed as he practically up to the three women. He handed another bottle of Space Dust to the band manager.
Jodi turned around and came face-to-face with her former assistant.
“Thanks, James.” Bette said as she took the beer from him. She immediately noticed the smirk on Tina’s face who was carefully watching Jodi’s reaction to the young agent’s approach.
“Preston?” Jodi asked, her voice bordering on irritation. “You’re a long way from home, aren’t you?”
Looking like a deer caught in the headlights at the recognition of his ex-boss, James visibly gathered his wits about him and stood with his shoulders squared before he answered her question.
“Ahem. There’s no distance I wouldn’t travel to make sure my clients have a successful show.” James was firm with a steely look.
It took a moment for his words to sink in for Jodi. “Clients? What clients?” As soon as the words escaped her mouth, she turned back around and glared at Bette. She scoffed. “Don’t tell me you hired this clown?” She asked with a sardonic sneer.
Tina couldn’t wait for Bette to answer in the affirmative. But the band manager remained silent and took a long swig of her beer instead.
“You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me, Porter! This chump couldn’t even hack it as an intern and now you’re trusting him to represent your sister?”
The volume of the crowd increased as the band’s latest jam ended and Kit was back on the microphone, thanking the crowd once again and let them know that they would be taking a short set break.
“Excuse us, Jodi.” Bette said before walking passed the agent holding Tina’s hand and ushering her away. “Come on, James.” Bette directed. Tina kept her eyes trained on Jodi and took great pleasure in smiling victoriously as Bette led her to the green room.

Hey MeLL eleven pages of Joy!!
Thank you
SG
Thanks for reading Sassy! Sorry that this week’s will not be quite as voluminous!
Eleven pages! You spoil us this sunday!
And i enjoyed every page!
Jodi is a annoying bitch, take your loss and move away.
I wish you a beautiful day MeLL!
I don’t often spoil. But when I do, it’s nice when it’s appreciated!
Another great one, that Jodi is some piece of work. Bette should invite her to the meeting with Aaron so she can blow them both off at the same time. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Hey OneStorm!
Glad to see you’re still checking in from time to time! Jodi is about to get hers in the next chapter. Thanks for reading!
Great chapter and great show for the band! Seems that James as their manager already earned his pay by promoting the show at the right places. Too bad that Jody also will make some money out of it. At least she now knows that she can stop bugging Bette for the job of the Stout’s manager.
Phillys and Leonard? LOL Inviting Bette to dance reminded me somehow of the show and her behaviour at her pool party.
Bette’s song was a nice surprise. Great lyrics! When she took the stage, I was sure it would be the song she played to Tina on their first night together. I have to repeat myself: they are so cute together. Tina sitting on Bette’s lap, Bette tightening her hold on Tina, lip-locked again and on top of that a song clearly written for Tina. I give them six months and they’ll talk about moving in together for the first time ;-)
Another brilliant chapter, MeLL. I’ll have to read the story all over again once you’ve finished posting. :-)
Have a great week
cheers

That pool party scene definitely inspired Phyllis letting her hair down in this chapter. LOL
Remember, the night Tina heard her playing from the neighbors’ house, Bette had finished two new compositions. This was the second.
Six months seems a bit long to wait for the U-Haul ????
Hi MeLL:
Excellent chapter as always, and the length pretty decent (ha-ha). Very nice that Leonard was left behind, that man is a pig, he is abusing of Bette’s talent.
I like very much that Bette sang that wonderful song (is that yours MeLL?).
I’m so happy that Jodie got what she deserved seeing James at Bette’s side and how Tina protects her girlfriend from that harpy of Jodie.
Great chapter, waiting for the hot one next week.
P
Hi P!
Yeah, Leonard needed a little shabby treatment so that he better appreciates his employee.
Yes, those were original MeLL lyrics. It would be awesome if someone put them to music. I’m not musically talented whatsoever, and only play instruments in my dreams, so it’s unlikely these lyrics will ever be anything but fanfic.
Great you brought all the sleaze bags out of the closet….lol. you can put them back on now..
Loved Bette’s song.. as if everyone didnt know it was for Tina. Including Tina.. who seem to get very excited and a need to go home. (Wonder why).lol..
Yeah phyllis asking for a dance reminded me of the bar scene when she told Bette you had feelings for her.. Bette’s face was priceless.. Jennifer Beal is a great actress her face was so funny..
Well thank you and it was a bit longer.. lol.. look forward to next week.
That bar scene was pretty funny. It took a while before Bette realized that Phyllis was talking about her, and the moment of realization was hysterical.
Time to take out the trash one sleazebag at a time!
You are quite the storyteller, my friend. Just getting caught up. You’ve built great characters I love and love to hate. A sign of a great writer. I might make it down to SD for a Giants game and little golf in July. I’ll have to buy you a drink if I do. Love your writing, GF.
Well, look who’s slummin’ it over here! ????
Thanks for taking the time to comment and sorry for the delayed response. The holiday weekend took its toll on me since I was traveling down the 99 and the I-5 from back home. A total of 8.5 hours of windshield time makes for a tired MeLL who could barely stay awake to finish the new Game of Thrones episode upon my return to America’s Hoppiest City.
Please let me know of your plans once confirmed and we’ll try to make that drink happen. Maybe a pre-game drink at Social Tap would work out best since it’s right behind the stadium. Let me know!
