Fire and Ice Chapter 15
April 1999 Los Angeles
Bette hardly made it five feet before the artist of honor unknowingly stepped into her path. She fought hard to suppress a scream of utter frustration.
"Why, Bette Porter…you really know how to throw a party, don’t you?" Malachi toasted his glass to the barely composed brunette.
Bette laughed caustiously, her desperate attempt to quiet the annoyance in her tone quality.
"Well, Malachi, it really is all for you. Your work is truly what brings us here, not I…" Bette nodded and smiled graciously as she attempted to glide around the artists’ hoovering stance.
Malachi followed her lead, turning his body to match her forward stride. She could smell the whiskey emitting from his breath.
"I really must say, I never realized you had this much clout…you’re one helluva lady, Ms. Porter…I’m proud to be in cahoots with you." Malachi sheepishly smiled as he bounced back on his heels, shoving his free hand into his trouser pocket.
Bette stopped. She wondered if she should put a word out to Marcus. She really couldn’t take the chance of having the artist giving his introduction in a half-drunken state. The work was already controversial enough. She didn’t want the supporters she did have to leave here tonight with a bad taste in their mouth.
"Listen, Malachi…will you still be able to provide a small introduction to the work…" Bette began, irritated that she had to deal with such a situation at this precise moment…the moment Tina was walking away.
"Of course…" Malachi smiled over his glass as he exhausted the contents. He shook the half melted ice cubes around, chewing one of them with his back teeth.
"When should I deliver this introduction…" Malachi began, eyes slightly swimming with intoxication.
"Well, I think it would be a good idea if you eat…if we all eat first. Then you could welcome everyone to browse through the exhibit at their leisure…" Bette caught Marcus’ eye and motioned him over with a nod.
Marcus dutifully shot to Bette’s side.
"Does that sound reasonable?" Bette asked, anxious to close the conversation.
"Agreed." Malachi answered as he tumbled the remaining partially melted ice cubes down his throat while eyeing the thin man now standing next to Bette.
