Chapter 25 – Good Advice
Tinas first week flew by quickly as her days settled into a routine with getting Anna up and spending a little time with her before she left for work, returning home to her little angel and then dinner and getting her to bed before she could have any thoughts of her own. It was at this time after Anna was in bed the Tina let her mind wander. She was thinking of things to do that she would include Bette. Bette coming to her house had been so unexpected, and so unlike the Bette she had known previously. She knew that Bette always made grand gestures so paying someone to cook and clean would have been more like the Bette she knew. Doing it all herself, even with Jenny and Shanes help still took time and Bette had never had that kind of time or inclination before. Bette seemed to have genuinely enjoyed herself. God I need to quite reading so much into this. Quickly became Tinas response to herself as she went down this road of thought for the hundredth time in a week.
It was the weekend and Tinas au pair, Irene was scheduled to arrive that afternoon. Tina hoped to spend time with her and get her acclimated to her new environment. To help with this she thought she would invite the girls over and introduce them to Irene all at once. Since many of the emergency numbers were these girls, Tina wanted Irene to feel comfortable and at least know them all. Tina paused when it came to inviting Bette, she wanted Bette to come but the whole thing seemed so weird at times. Pushing through her feelings of uneasiness Tina picked up the phone and dialed Bettes cell.
Bette, hey this it Tina Tina says hesitating as she got Bettes voice mail.
Ah I wanted to invite you over for an impromptu get together I am introducing my new au pair to everyone tonight. If youre available I would love for you to come its at 7 we are just grilling out so come hungry. Tina finishes the message and hangs up. Her thought immediately went to I wonder if she will come?

another scary scenio for Bette – Tina accepts the directorship but is in a personal relationship with someone else. Oh my, please don’t go there; my heart won’t be able to take it!
Great story, looking forward to the framily gathering and meeting Irene.
It’s a very good chapter and your story is so great.
Jackie knows so well Bette’s situation so she can speak about it with Bette with her life’s experience. May be Bette needs some help because she don’t know what she could do even she try to do the best things for Tina and Anna. Because of that, she forgets the main point.
Another great chapter. Bette needs to talk to Tina, Tina has noticed the changes in Bette but have they really talked?
They are both holding back, Jwet give them a little push in the right direction.
Thank you.
one of the best stories out right now. the pacing is coming along real good, very realistic. keep up the good work!
Go ahead and take the advice she is right. Love it!
I love all these secondary characters that you’ve created. Great chapter, and I like that Bette is takning things slow.
LOVE THE WAY TO WRITE PLEASE POST SOON GREAT CHAPTER
This chapter is awesome and hope Bette listen to Jackie. Post soon, thank you!
Jwet – I hold no ownership on the phrase HOT MONKEY LOVE, so it is free to use with both my approval and encouragement, although with the disclaimer that it apply to Bette and Tina. But, given it’s your story, I can’t really dictate terms. (I just hope, for Anna’s sake, that Shane’s moves with the au pair come when she’s off duty.)
Jackie…kick Bette’s butt on this one, she deserves it, and needs the push. Then again, an ActionTina action figure might help, also.
Nicely done chapter. Thanks.
Jackie is a good friend to Bette, she is giving her good advice. I like the fact that Tina (indeed nobody) will ever know about Bette’s involvement in the foundation
i love your story Jwet,you are truly an amazing story teller!!!!
I’m beginning to like this Jackie character more and more as your story progresses. She’s a good friend…Bette should accept her advices with open arms…they can really benefit her. Ah, I’m guessing this new Au Pair is straight…since she wants to be the girl that her parents raised her to be…I predict so much changes in her while her stay in LA…especially with Tina and the girls. She’s another Jenny!! Nah, I’m only making observations;P I love your story Jwet, please update soon=)
Good that Bete has somebody she feels she is able to ask for advice. New thing asking – and taking for it! Shows she is changing. Lucky Tina.
EXCELLENT!!! Wow what wisdom Jackie has shared with Bette I hope she listens..Beautifully written..Please continue and psot soon..Love it
Thus another great chater by Jwet!!! or Thus spoke Jwet the L-word fanfic writer… this is good Jwet thanks…
Wonderfully vivid chapter. I love Jackie and her advice to Bette. I look forward to more!
“Don’t let your own opportunities pass you by. You may never get them back” – That is so true. Come on Bette, its time to come out from the background. Go and be with your family. Grrrrreeeeaaaattttt update :)
Thanks for another exceptional chapter. Sure hope Bette takes Jackie’s advice.
Loved this. Hope Bette listens to Jackie.
Wow! Jwet, i have just caught up with this……. truly amazing story. i especially love your portrayal of Bette. You certainly are one hell of a writer:). I am a big big fan of anything you write and this story only further enhances that ….Thank you:)
Another fabulous chapter.
Such an articulate and expressive talent you have.
The imagery and depiction of these characters is truly a marvel to behold.
I can completely visualise Irene meeting Tina and Anna as well as Jackie being a sounding board for Bette as she shares her life experiences to prevent Bette from making the same mistakes. Looks like Bette is finally ready to hear what Jackie has to say.
Am sure that you have a few hiccups in store but hope to get these two star-crossed lovers back together.
Awaiting your next post.
Hello,Jwet
I enjoyed this chapter very much. I am hoping that Bette will listen and get the one thing that is so important to her life.
I don’t see how you post so many chapters, but keep up the great job.
