“This song’s called ‘Slow and Steady.’”
And with that, Bette’s fingers began playing an upbeat tune that Carmen punctuated with some record scratching and Shane kept a steady beat to.
“Maybe it was your short skirt,
Maybe it was the music.
Maybe it was your sex appeal,
You know how to use it.”
Bette’s smooth, warm tone of voice gave the catchy song a sexual energy as Alice and Angus introduced the raw guitars underneath.
“It could’ve been the vodka tonic
It could’ve been the dancing
It could’ve been the rising temperature
That made you so enchanting.
Through the thickness of the fog
You emerged and the world fell away
So I took you in my arms
Strangers in the dark
Sharing a slow and steady sway, baby
A slow and steady sway
A slow and steady sway.”
Kit shook the tambourine as she sang the refrain back up vocals for her sister. Tayo played the bass like a badass during the first musical bars.
“One dance and I was hooked
Your electric touch reeled me in
One syllable at a time
Your hoarse whisper filled me in.”
As Tina listened to the lyrics, she was positive the song was about their first meeting at Hit. In her mind, she replayed their first conversation when Bette teased her about her one syllable answers during their dance to “Crazy for You” by Madonna.
“The first night on the dance floor
Made me wish
For more and more
Where the hell did you come from
That you’ve got me
So completely undone
Through the thickness of the crowd
You emerged and I fell right away
So I took you in my arms
Lovers in the dark
Shared a slow a steady sway, baby
A slow and steady sway
A slow and steady sway.”
Bette’s fingers jammed on the keys of the piano and was anything but slow or steady. The arrangement really showcased her abilities and the band kept up with her funky, soulful tempo. The song was really amping up and there was no shortage of people cutting a rug on the dance floor including Tina, Dana, Max, Phyllis, Tori, and James. Even Leonard was rocking out to the song once he found his wife among the sweaty concertgoers.
Jodi stood by and watched Bette get down on the piano suddenly realized that she had a new target as a potential client.

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!
