DENIAL
But what she had told her was the truth. As local sales manager for LAKTV ,She had to make weekly sales reports to the station manager. If one account slipped, it would cost the television station thousands of dollars in commercial time. Her sympathies were with Jenny .She was heart broken over a girl in the news room, who had dumped her to be with a man. Tina wished she could console her and give Jenny the opportunity to confide in her.
But she couldn’t afford such luxury,especially since she was a woman holding down a man’s job and everyone more or less expected her to think with her heart instead of her head. When it came to business,she put aside her sensitive instincts and reacted to everything with pure professionalism. She didn’t let personalities influence her business decisions.
The light on her intercom panel lit up and beeped softly. She returned to her desk. “yes,Kate?” she said after pressing down the button that allowed her to communicate with her secretary.
“Miss Porter is here to see you. Are you free?”
Instantly her body tensed into immobility. Her heart seemed to skip a beat and then pounded at double time, sending the blood roaring in her ears. For a moment she forgot to breathe, and then gasped in air until she felt dizzy. For what seemed a small eternity,she remained poised motionlessly over her desk. Then gradually she sank into her chair.
“Miss Porter?” The hard knot of distress that was lodged in her throat made the name sound hoarse.
“Miss Bette Porter of the Porter agency”
There was an undertone of puzzlement in Kate’s voice. The Porter Agency was responsible for a large percentage of the station’s advertising clients . The largest and most prestigious in LA. Since assuming her job, Tina had never worked with Bette Porter directly, she knew why. Even though Helena, her best friend and station manager had insisted she do, she had always had an excuse to get out of it. After making a few attempts to see her, Bette hadn’t pressed for an interview. Her agents had always worked with one of Tina’s salespeople instead.
Why was Bette asking to see her now?
Her first instinct was to make an excuse,but she squelched it. That would be cowardly, and she couldn’t tolerate the thought of Bette considering her a coward.

I dont know if I should laugh or cry. Bette is so sure of hersekf,and so in love with Tina. With Bette,Tina is like a bowl of Jello. She is married and to Henry yet she can’t forget Bette. Poor Tina. No children I hope. You have a winner her.Lets read more soon
this looks like a hot one, can’t wait for more!!
Definitely an interesting start. I’m curious about the past history between Tina and Bette since it seems different than what we know from the show. It must have been quite intense to make Tina react so deeply about seeing Bette. Nice writing style, very elegant. I’d like to read more of this story, a lot more.
Great start. Poor Tina, attracted to Bette, but loyal to her husband. Someone is bound to get hurt. PPS
Nothing better the a very confident Bette Porter…Tina’ hear doesn’t stand and chance…mind as well let Henry out of his misery now.
Oh Tina soo has it bad for Bette! and Bette still has feelings for Tina too I see. What’s gonna happen now??? PPS I’m dying to know!
Ughhhhh, Tina married Henry. Bette should slap Tina for it. Intense, a cat and mouse game. I want more. Please post soon.
This is good ,very good….what took Bette so long?…since Tina is not going to admit to herself or anyone for that matter that she made a mistake.
very interesting start. can’t wait for more!
So much fear in Tina…it’s heartbreaking to see someone go through that kind of pain, the pain of denial, fear of acceptance, not wanting to hurt Henry who she loves. Bette’s confidence was bordering on arrogance. This was a great start…looking forward to the next chapter! Thanks!
This is interesting!
interesting start – looking forward to seeing where it goes. more!
Tina is in big trouble call Bette. PPVS
Great start. Poor tina so attracted to Bette but denying herself. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Thank you :)
