“I know what you mean about the eyes; and yes I have noticed all that about her Winnie. I’d be blind not to. She’s very easy to love but she’s also very fragile. I wouldn’t want to hurt her.”
“No and I wouldn’t want to see her hurt either. Maybe the time just isn’t right for you two yet but if it’s meant to be it will be. Trust me on that.”

Peggy, Bette and Tina spent Thursday together at the warehouse and at Peggy’s penthouse and corporate offices taking inventory of the art and making notes about what would be moved around. Tina really enjoyed being around Bette and Peggy in their element. Their love and passion for art was palpable and it was so obvious that they shared deep love, affection and respect for one another. They were dynamic and so in-sync with each other that you would think they truly were mother and daughter.

On Friday they boarded the private jet back to California. Monica the limo driver was waiting for them when they arrived at Santa Monica airport. She dropped Tina home first then took Bette and Peggy to Bette’s home in West Hollywood. Bette insisted that Peggy stay with her while she looked for a house in the Los Angeles area. She’d already contacted a real estate agent and had several appointments set up. The gang got together for Sunday Brunch at the Planet then James and Lisa went back to Bette’s house to talk while Peggy went out with the real estate agent to look at both commercial and residential properties.
***
Bette, James and Lisa settled in the back yard on lounge chairs by the pool. Bette told James about Peggy’s plans and the suggestion to ask Francesca to work at the Porter Art Gallery for the next few months before she returned to Italy. James was really excited about the project and was looking forward to meeting Francesca.
“There are a couple more things for us to discuss James. I know this is going to be a lot of work for you to take on especially during the time that I will spend in New York building the museum displays at the Peabody headquarters. Francesca will only be here temporarily so we need to start looking for some additional staffing. We can tackle that after Valerie’s show but what I really wanted to talk to you about is making our partnership official.

I love it. Now if Peggy agrees I can see Bette and Tina moving forward and start dating…..Question is how will she react to Bettes little family expansion……
Thank you for posting. Wonderful chapter. Pps
Moving along nicely but even if Bette and Tina are going to be in the same zip code nothing will come out of it right away…But this will at least give them a chance to connect more….Wonderful Chapter BAT2012!
Pie_Fair thank you for reading and commenting. I am enjoying your stories very much. I just wanted to reply to your statement that ‘nothing will come out of it right away’ even though Bette and Tina will be in the same zip code. Although Bette and Tina will be pursuing their own paths they are still progressing their friendship and building the foundation for the eventual relationship. Can’t promise they won’t have their ups and downs but if it’s worth having they will put in the work to make it happen.
And thank you for reading!..Very much appreciated..I do really love your story and see that Bette and Tina will progress slowly but I also like how you are writing Bette in this…Love the softer side of her and I am curious how she deals with the the assault that Jodi inflicted upon her as we haven’t seen that yet as the story advanced 2 years…I’m sure that might become an issue as she progresses into a relationship with Tina…Curious as to how and if you present that..But I’m along for the ride!..Thanks again BAT2012!
Bette’s assault by Jodi does come into play later in the story but not as a hindrance to having a healthy romantic/sexual relationship with Tina. Her therapy with Emma right after the attack and in the ensuing years has helped her to work through the emotional trauma.
I don’t want to give too much away (for those who haven’t read the story before) but Jodi’s psychosis will be the focus of the assault storyline when I pick it up again. I’m glad that you like my Bette. This is how I’ve always seen Bette and I usually write her with a lot of heart.
In order for this Bette and Tina coupling to work, Tina has to modify her life plans. At this point, she is physically attracted to Bette but nothing has occurred so right now it all seems so sterile, no panting, no sweating, no carnal desires have been revealed. Seems too much like an arrangement, all very platonic and business like. Looking forward to the next chapter.
azmama thank you for reading and commenting. I really appreciate your insights. Unfortunately my style of writing Bette and Tina even in a romantic story (which this one is not) does not lend to panting, sweating and carnal desires except of course during the act. Sorry if the relationship feels too intellectual or like an arrangement – not sure how else a platonic relationship should be portrayed. I said this wasn’t typical TiBette – and to me that means they can be together in the same room without being naked. However if you stick with the story there is a conversation between Bette and Tina that talks to the ‘lack of passion’.
My view when including sex in a story agrees with something Peggy said at the end of season 5 talking about Bette and Tina and Helena and Leigh Ostin playing musical partners: “… all that fu**king with no art is really rather dreary.” I hope my stories offer enough of a plot line that the sex is significant when it happens.
Who is she calling? Tina I hope
Another great chapter. Love this story. Congratulations!
