Fire and Ice Chapter 25
"Louie here" he beamed into receiver. Tina couldn’t help but giggle. This chaffuer of Bette’s was a total character.
"Louie…It’s Bette." Bette stood outside her gallery, pacing the sidewalk where she had apparently just missed Tina. The impact of her departure nearly knocked the wind out of Bette, but her hope restored as soon as she learned that Tina was in her very own limo. Alice was an absolute lifesaver.
"Yes, Ms. Porter…" Louie’s voice instantly turning professional as he adjusted his heavy body to sit straighter in the driver’s seat.
Tina’s entire body electrified as Bette’s surname echoed through her ears. She leaned forward instinctively, turning her head to capture what she could of the conversation.
"Louie…is Tina in the limo? I want you to tell her something for me…tell her I wish I was there……anyway, just please tell her to relax…and Louie, make sure she gets the champagne…" Bette had remembered that she had ordered the car to be stocked with the finest bubbly, and she knew the reminder of the intimate drink they shared would somehow let Tina know that she was indeed by her side. "Take her anywhere she wants to go…" Bette whispered, genuinely concerned for Tina and the pain she must be struggling with at that moment.
Tina sat in still silence, oblivious to Bette’s instructions for her driver.
Thankfully, Louie’s boisterous voice boomed through the long and narrow space of the limo. Tina could only wish she was hearing what Bette was saying half as well…
"Yes, m’am, she is…uh huh………………..okay, I’ll do that…" Louie nodded the entire time he was speaking into the phone now supported by his broad shoulder.
Tina was acutely aware that she was no longer breathing. Her heart pounded…she knew Bette was saying her name on the other end…she could picture the brunette’s soft lips mouthing the word so delicately…like it was a delicious word to say.
"Sure thing, Ms. Porter…okay…bye now." Louie removed the phone from his shoulder and shook it at Tina.
"See…I told you she’d want you to open some champagne…" Louie laughed heartily.
"Was…was that Bette?" Tina began, trying to be non-chalant.
"Yeah, she called to make sure you were in the limo…make sure you were okay…she said she wish she could be here…but, she wanted you to make yourself comfortable…she was hell bent on you opening that champagne…" Louie again pointed behind his back, motioning blindly to the bar tray.

It has been a hell’ve night for Tina. Either have Louise take her back to the Gallery or to Bette house. love this story. thanks
Wow, I think I need a drink of that champagne. These two don’t even have to be in the same place and you can still feel the heat between them. You are doing such a great job with this story Fire…see you tomorrow!
So glad I got my computer working again. Can’t wait for more! PPS
appreciate this amazing chappie all the more cause you’re writing it while feeling under the weather…thanks so much. Hope u feel better soon.
I am kind of hoping Tina rides around listening to Soul with Louie and then returns to the gallery to pick up Bette.
I hope Louie takes Tina to Bette’s house. Enjoying this story immensely. Thanks for sharing :)
yes!!! one helluva nite…lovin’ them.
Drinking straight from the bottle, when you just that kind of night! Right on
I’m with Bailey…Maybe the bubbly will loosen Tina up a little and she’ll ask Louie to take her to Bette’s house or at least back to the gallery. Still loving this incredibly romantic tale. Thanks!!
Louie definitely needs to occupy Tina for a few hours – until Bette can join her. Or maybe just a drive to Bette’s house… This is so GOOD. I can’t wait to see where you take the story next…
i don’t know where Louie is taking Tina but I am sure Bette would be privilege to that information. !!
For some reason I always think of Tina and Bette when I hear that song…Thanks for posting – loving this!
just what tina needs to relax a bit some bubbly and music… she should just drive around a while, maybe she’ll fall asleep and louie will go get bette and take them back to bette’s house!! :)PPS
loooove that song (can’t decide tho which version i like best… Joan Armatrading’s or Melissa Etheridge’s) mmmmm, Bette’s house… *that’d be good* ;) btw: loved how you depicted Louie! and how you connected the chaps and filled some gaps… thanks! ps: get well soon!
I really love this story and always look forward to your posts. jinjur
