Jackie noticed the grin and just knew that Bette had told
her. Jackies first thought as a slow
smile begins to cross her face is what could have happened to get Bette to
finally tell her all. Than the thought
that there was a force on this earth as great as Bettes made her smile break
into a chuckle as Jackie knows Bette has met her match in Tina. Now Jackie starts laughing as both she and
Tina know the elephant that is in the room and with neither of them being able
to mention it but both of them thinking about it.
Jackie I know. Tina finally says. I dont know any of the details but lets
just say that between what Bette was saying last night together with your off
the cuff remarks were enough that I figured it out.
As Tina is saying this Jackie just nods her head and takes a
seat across from Tinas desk, showing her willingness to now discuss this
subject. Oh Thank God Jackie said in
relief. I honestly thought I would have
to go to my grave with that secret. The
reprieve that Jackie feels is genuine as it is written in her body language.
Our Ms. Porter can drive a hard bargain and me keeping
silent was one of those components of our deal.
Its one of those situations that I wanted to change time and time again
but never did as I just respected her too much. Jackie reveals to Tina but
still is watching not to reveal any more details. But that didnt mean I couldnt try to
persuade her in any way possible. Jackie says now having a permanent smile on
her face.
You know Jackie I understand your position and really wont
tax your conscious any more than necessary.
I want to thank you though for your comments last night. Just knowing that you were describing my
Bette makes my heart swell with pride. Tina says with a touch of awe in her
voice.
Jackie now is sighing in relief. Well thanks for that. You know I didnt say anything that didnt
come from my heart. I actually wasnt
expecting Bette to even be at the dinner and then when Janice almost gave away
how she had spent so much time in these very offices I almost had a heart
attack. Jackie says being a little dramatic for effect. But we all lived and Im so glad to have had
the opportunity to speak up last night.
Thanks for bringing Bette to the dinner with you. I hope you know that you are the only person
on this earth who could have gotten her to be there.

Jwet – you’re such a gem; each of your chapters keeps me glued to my computer screen (when I need stronger glasses, I shall blame you?!!).
To be honest, I don’t know how I want Alice/Tina/Bette and this secret to play out. I liked how you always used Alice as comic relief and to share information, but you also use Alice as the path between Tina and Bette. Then again, you didn’t let Alice know that Bette was in the delivery room. I keep wondering if Bette will tell her or will Dr. Wilson “let slip” that Bette was there; prehaps when they have to take Anna in for a routine check-up? Of course, these and other questions I have not thought of will be answered? Soon?
Thanks for such a wonderful story; you continue to paint a lovely portrait of people with love in their hearts.
Thanks for another incredible chapter!

Great chapter as always. I hope Alice doesn’t cause any harm. Can’t wait for more.
Now I just have to wait for your postings..great chapter and I can’t wait for Tina and Bette to talk more. Hmmm..birth of the baby. ; )
Sorry about not commenting every chapter…this story is so wonderfully written, that I find myself just as excited to read the next chapter now, as I was when you first started writing it. Thanks so much for the incredible amount of time and talent you put into creating, and then telling this story!
Hi Jwet! You’ve done a fantastic job, once again! As I was reading this chapter I beagan to realize another appealing thing about your story…even the side characters like Jackie, Grace and James have a depth to them that is palpable. You obviously put a lot of thought and care in the development of each chapter and for that I am really grateful! Thanks for the time spent on creating this rich body of work! (Now, that said…can I have a cookie?;) Please post again soon!!!!
Poor Alice…searching out the mystery that’s already been dissipated.
Great chapter, I love the inter action between Jackie and Tina. Jackie:The famous Bette Porter has finally met her match in Tina -Good shot. But Jwet I need a little help please I may be a little dense but I don’t see the connection between MYV and For Tina my love. Could you please help me out. Thanks, and Holla back soon.
JWet,
This story just gets more and more delicious as time goes by and some of the answers unfold.
The chess game between Tina and Jackie was wonderfully realised. You managed to convey the inner workings of both characters as they each tried to jab then parry their opponent in to confessing their real motive. The threads of this secret finally unraveled after much nit picking by both parties.
Jackie’s sense of relief is matched by mine own as a reader. At last the truth will set us free!
Now Alice’s dilemma has a poetic justice as she tries to ferret away at the truth while we all know that Tina is conscious of the broad brush strokes if not all of the fine details yet. Also, the morning after the night before is always interesting as self awareness can be a cruel mistress.
Shane’s gentle teasing is wondrous as Alice tries to get her brain and gear to rev up and roar out the comic comebacks. I love the whole “Buying the bakery†conversation.
You have totally nailed all the quirks and idiosyncrasies as dialogue traits of all the main players.
Questions to be answered in the next chapter (hopefully) include:
Did Jackie have the proverbially angel on one side with the devil on the other as she resolved how to play it with Tina? Do Tina and Jackie have poker faces? Will a trip to Vegas be on the cards? Will a chess match between Karpov and Jackie be the next fund-raising event for the MYV foundation?
Does Shane provide lessons in her uncanny ability to see every thing that is going on around her? What blackmail technique has Dana really used to shut Alice up? Is Alice gonna visit Peggy Peabody as that money had to come from someone? Was Melvin related to the Getty’s or Hughes’ for that size of bankroll?
Will be waiting with much anticipation for your next post.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend; fishing, friend and family. And not forget the boat.
Your Loyal Fan
I’m so happy that Bette told Tina….Great job Jwet as ususal…Alice is crazy lady..THANK YOU….
Alice, girl- you late!
I’m going to enjoy watching Alice snoop out the foundation, after everyone else knows all about it!
Thanks for letting it be all good between Tina and Bette. I don’t think I could stand the angst of another breakup between them!
hey- i’ve been a little MIA of late and for that i apologize. life is insane as usual but just wanted to let you know how much i enjoy your updates. hope alls well and thanks again.
A dog with a bone!!!!!!!!!
I’m really looking forward to Alice’s reaction when Tina says “I know Alice..” LOL! I look forward to every chapter :)
Well, after the night that Alice had it’s better that she can smell where to go, rather than she just…smells.
I loved the interaction between Jackie and Tina. Sort of like watching two people fencing. I’m glad that Jackie told Tina that Bette turned in her key. That again, should make it easier for Tina to see that Bette didn’t orchestrate everything.
I’m getting the feeling that Alice is in a sprint race, but will arrive at the finish line only to find that she came in last. Of course, that’s alright with me.
Can’t wait to see where this goes next.
Damn Alice is crazy and so funny, love her!
