Im listening.

It just so happens that the beautiful woman to my right has a certain artistic talent which has gone unnoticed for god knows how long.

I was brought out of my day dream consisting of Millies fingers on my back, well, replace fingers with lips and back with ***** and that would be slightly more accurate.

What, no its just a hobby really Bette it would be a waste of time to even contemplate showing what I draw in your gallery. I said quickly, giving Millies side a squeeze as a hint to not push this matter.

Modesty is not a virtue I rate highly Trixie, Im intrigued seeing as Millie has yet to let me down with her own work she may have stumbled across something more than just a beautiful face.

But don’t you think Millie is being slightly biased, there are plenty of other artists out there who make my drawing look amateur at best, I think it would be a severe lapse in judgement to even consider my work is viable to show in your gallery.

Bette seemed slightly taken aback by my passionate response but still held that small smile.

Well you certainly argue like one of my artists, I don’t see why your work wouldn’t be the same quality as theirs.

I could see this was just a game to Bette, and I don’t think she lost very often. I laughed, glancing at Millie who offered no such help in defending my reaction.

All I can do is take a look, and give my professional opinion. If your work is not what Im looking for then I wont hesitate to say but you shouldn’t be so blas about your talent, it could earn you a surprising amount of money if shown in the right place.

As in the Bette Porte gallery, I thought. Well I could stand here and try to fight an obviously loosing battle or give in and watch Bette well and truly eat her words when she sees what Millie calls my artistic talent.

Ok Bette, I can see youre not going to take no for an answer. I said, sighing in defeat.

Bette smiled, giving me a wink.

Well, I have yet to be rejected and I wasnt going to start now.

Next to her Tina rolled her eyes, giving me an apolagetic look for her girlfriends over confidence.

I guess some things will never change. Millie muttered under her breath.
