    Chapter 25 Good Advice

    ***
    Bette was running a little late this morning, For a Saturday you would think I would take it easy for a change, but no She thought to herself. After all she was the one who set up this appointment to review things with Jackie for 8AM on a Saturday. Bette wanted to make sure all the plans that her and Jackie had been working on so tirelessly for the last six months were finally complete with all the little details just right. Bette was amazed how Jackie had grabbed the reigns of the fledgling foundation and added real structure and substance. The infrastructure that Jackie had come up with was simple yet effective. Jackie had found a way to keep expenses down yet have all the things the foundation needed to be effective. This would maximize the funding going to the grants and ultimately ending up helping the very people the foundation was meant to help. It was something that Bette admired but almost as much as she admired what Jackie had accomplished in such a short time.

    Arriving at MYV Foundation offices, Bette enters through the employee entrance. As Bette goes through the office she is once again impressed with how well everything turned out. This place looked every bit the foundation Bette had dreamed it to be. The front lobby had the wall she wanted installed which would soon be filled with wall size portraits of the projects which have been awarded grants. Seeing the lights on and Jackies office door open, Bette chuckles she really has found someone who works more than her.

    The morning went quickly with Jackie and Bette confirming all the last minute things that needed to be done before you go live with any project. You know the finalization of the web page before the switch it turned. The final draft of the grant criteria, who may apply and what the rules for determining the final awardees where just a few of the items that Jackie and Bette reviewed and made final. With all these things done Jackie suggested a late lunch.

    Bette and Jackie went to the caf on the corner and both ordered salads. While waiting for the salads to arrive, Jackie began talking about Tina. Bette I have to tell you Tina is everything you described and more. I guess this just makes the job so much easier when the person you working with is so talented. I really believe a lot of what youre trying to do for her she would accomplish herself given time.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    9. 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.

    10. 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

    12. 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=)

    13. 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.

    17. “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 :)

    20. 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:)

    21. 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.

    22. 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.
