Looking a little uncertain
more not sure how to get into this subject.
“Oh just spill it
knowing
needs a little prodding but not knowing if it is really wise to do this
prodding. She quickly thinks ‘I’ll give
her another 10 seconds to start if not I’m getting up.’
“Ok Ok”
thinks that it was now or never as she just can feel Kit’s impatience. “I was wondering if you know the details of
the MYV Foundation. Like the origin of
the funding?”
finally gets out.
Kit just looks at
with that expression which is wondering if she has three heads. Still at a loss Kit starts shaking her head
from side to side as she begins speaking “Now Alice why would that be something
I would know anything about? I mean why
are you coming to me?”
“Oh”
says leaving her mouth in the shape of the O long after she has said the
word. “I I just thought you would know
since Bette is the one who started it.”
finally says.
Immediately Kit responds “Well I wouldn’t know anything
about that. Have you asked Bette?”
“Well no I was just thinking you might know since she used
the money from Melvin’s estate ”
says and then sort of fades off.
Now giving
a stern look “First of all these are all questions for Bette not me and second
what makes you so sure Bette started that foundation?” Kit now has turned the
tables and is pumping
for information.
“Well you know the name!”
realizes Kit expression of confusion is for real.
“You know the Motif Yen Valor Kit move the letters
around. They spell My Love For Tina or
For Tina My Love or my personal favorite For My Love Tina.”
surprise look on Kit’s face that Kit had no knowledge of anything she is
hearing.
“
where do you come up with this stuff?” Kit now says shaking her head in
disbelief at
mind.
“Well I know that Bette was charged to start a non-profit
right?”
asks a little aggressively.
“
you have just got to go to Bette for that kind of information. That’s all I’m going to say.” Kit says
knowing that she’s not going to say another word until she herself talks to
Bette.

Alice.. what’s up? I hope this does not cause problems between Bette and Kit. Good chapter :)
Jwet I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful friend you have become to me. I have truly missed your story this past week with V being in the hospital. I don’t know what I would have done without you my friend. I hope to get caught up with everything after her surgery Friday. Truest of friends. OCD
Alice is heading for deep trouble,she just need to drop it. She could lose a good friend over this. Bette thinks she is lucky,Tina is the lucky one. to have bette. thanks
I hate ALICE!!!!!!!! nice post please don’t let the road have a block they can’t get past together
Alice is hell bent on deploying a mission to ascertain the disposition and intent of one Ms Bette Porter and the MYV Foundation with regards to the money issues, has Alice got a pre-paid Funeral Plan Jwet?…i think she might need it when Bette hears what Kit has to tell her…didn’t she hear Bette when she chewed her a new one at the house or was Alice’s hearing set to “selective hearing”. LOL…..
I’m sure there is a reason to Alice’s digging, but for the love of a glass of wine at this very moment, i have no idea. Another great Chapter J, keep it up.
Thank you.
JWET
Thank you for your kind words above about chief editor. I may dot a few ‘i’s and cross a few ‘t’s but babe, this story is all yours! YOU put the ideas into words and onto paper.
I love this line “Kit just looks at Alice with that expression which is wondering if she has three heads.” Question: if Bette sees Alice with three heads, will she have sympathy for her and not slap her upside the head? Or would Bette pick a head to slap, slap it, only to find it’s the head without a brain?
This line is priceless: “Bette’s heart stopped and she loved the sound of the word home. It just put a smile on her face thinking about it.” Kinda says it all (definitely a Kleenex or two or three)! Thanks for painting a wonderful picture.
Lucky indeed and James is the man! Thanks, Jwet..for an amazing story that I never grow tired of reading.
Hi Jwet: I seem to always last, but I have finally gotten around to reading and yes commenting. First off Congrats for your award. Second: I truly enjoyed this chapter, it feels as if the chips are falling where they should be. Excellent chapter and I am looking forward to the next one.
Alice, Alice, Alice… lol… jwet you go girl!!! each time each better…
Will Alice ever give up??? LOL Great chapter as always. Please post soon
Jwet: this is a hilarious chapter especially Alice trying to ‘moose’ some info out of Kit. Yup – dont Alice ever give up – perhaps I think its abt time to ‘untorture’ her. I wonder what would her reaction be when she found out that Bette hve already told Tina everything and all her efforts in trying to unravel the mystery has gone to ‘nought’…erm interesting also that you hve make James a more dependant person that Bette can rely on. Yup Bette definitely need to delegate some of her work :D looking forward to your next chapter! ps: i wish i was lucky like Bette to hve someone as well ;)
I think Bette has found her assistant..
Hey Keep it up Jwet I’m still Love it WHOA! what wrong with Alice is really like digging anything about Bette money and Foundation Oh Alice Hey live them alone LOL! I’ll Know you are really Great reporter come on Alice Live their Alone! Hey Jwet still Amazing I love it Please continue post soon and Thanks.
Hey Jwet, love your rework of this chapter, brilliant intricate detailing of the probate and legal terminology – I especially like the legal term “mumbo jumbo”, that so worked in the middle of that paragraph. Loved it.
Well, now Kit has some questions to ask the inimitable Super cool Bette – will she freak out that she’s been found out I wonder. I think a cool calulating calm and oh so super sexy Bette Porter is on her way and Tina is just gonna fall that little bit more in love with her, who wouldn’t though – god she’s some woman!
Right….. uhem… back to work……….I got a bit side tracked there!
Hey Jwet, finally got caught up again. First of all, congrats on the award. You so deserved it. You’ve got such an amazing story going here. I just love reading it. Secondly, please don’t let Bette be to hard on Alice. We all know Alice means well, she just can’t control herself. LOL!
I can’t wait for all Alices Stuff to hit the fan! Is Bette gonna go postal?
You write crazy Alice so well. It makes me giggle just thinking about her nutty antics.
Okay, this line got me:
“Tina returns to find dinner served, Anna pounding her highchair tray and Bette smiling. “You know I could get use to this.” Tina says as this whole picture is her dream come true.”
It sorta of conveyed to me that both Tina and Bette are finally on the same page and have the life they want. But then I started thinking “ghee, how is Tina going to feel when the baby starts throwing her food back at her”? Lol.
BTW, your Alice is just so perfect, you gotta love her! Again, congrats on the award.
Please continue with the most wonderful story, I always look forward to reading your chapters.
Another great chapter Jwet. BTW congrats on the well deserved award. :)
Sweet! I guess you’d just have to be Alice to understand her sometimes hehe… Now my next question is, is Bette going to tell Tina more detail?
great as always.thanks!
Great Chapter as always..BUT you have got to put a stop to Alice before we have awar between the family…Post soon I love your writing…
K
Let it go Alice. Great chapter. Can’t wait for more.
You know, I’ve heard stories about hunting dogs that will hunt for days on end to the point of exhaustion and near death once they latch onto a scent. That certainly appears to be Alice alright.
Alice’s inappropriate questioning and revealing of information about Bette and the Foundation to Kit was just annoying beyond words. Kit handled it expertly, like she was flicking an annoying insect that was buzzing around. However, I’m still baffled as to exactly what Alice’s motivation is for persuing this matter. Jealousy or revenge are possibilities, but I’m thinking it’s more along that lines that Alice just doesn’t like to be left out of the loop. But if she’s not careful, Bette won’t have her in a loop. It will be a noose.
I have to admit that there was as time recently that I hated Alice so much that I considered not continuing with this story. Then it dawned on me – that’s exactly what makes a writer so fantastic. The ability to get under our skin with a character, whether it’s good or bad. And I have got it bad. You are actually able to make my blood pressure rise, literally, because you are so talented and in this character’s head so convincingly. I applaud you. But if Alice continues in this vein can you do me a favor? Let her epitaph read “She died of red tape”.
Bette is learning and growing more day by day. The fact that she would even entertain the idea of allowing James to act in her stead is pretty profound. She is learning to relinquish control and enjoying the benefits. The secondary gains are going to be a wonderful trickle down effect for Tina and Anna.
I loved the little snippet of Norman Rockwell life that you showed of Bette, Tina and Anna as a family. That was beautiful. Bette actually asking and truly listening to Tina’s day shows that she’s making it about others and not just herself.
OK, so is Tina’s late meeting and not being able to be there for Bette in the beginning a little bit of Karma for Bette? Or is it an anvil that things are going to change for their little slice of heaven? Did Bette creating the foundation actually set her up to lose a part of what she so desperately want to have back in her life? Just a thought.
Reading your story is like retreating to my favorite hideaway. I love coming here, settling, getting comfortable, relaxing and being alone with something I love…your story. Thanks.
Poor Alice. She worked so hard to uncover some truth and we give her such a hard time about it. She also help uncover some stuff on Helena and she gave that up to Bette. I just felt I had to defend Alice a bit…sorry to be on the soapbox.
Bette – your next director is in front of you! James. He knows her well, especially how she like things done. And she is still around to help/oversee his development.
Maybe Bette should just have a family meeting and tell eveyone about the foundation, including being at Anna’s birth.
Oh yeah, can’t wait to see the ‘other’ pictures of Tina.
Am I last to comment? I blame Hawaiian time zone.
Thanks for posting this story. And I regret I forgot my manners – congratulations on your second award. Well deserved. Very well deserved.
congrats on the award, you really desearve it. this story has had me gripped from the start. from bete and tina tender moments to alices stoner nights it just has everything. i know we are comming close to an ending so im just going to have to ration myself to reading them just once a week so it lasts longer. i really do hope there is another story to come after this one finishes, thankyou very much for devoting so much of your time just for our entertainment it is really appriciated.
Jwet,
Nice bit of detective work going on here.
If Alice sticks her head any further in to the setting up of the MYV foundations she is likely to lose her nose when Bette bites it off for all this snooping.
Roving reporter Alice is like the proverbially dog with a bone. Only a sharp smack to the head is likely to loose her grip on this ‘bone’. We all know that Bette is more than up to the task. Looks like physical interactions are ahead. Yippee!
I love the way you have given Alice the best of intentions married with the worst judgment and tact. You have seized Alice’s gregarious nature wonderfully in her dialogue; internally and externally, and the descriptions of her ferreting away at the computer and then giving Kit the third degree.
Brilliant turnaround from Kit; out doing a master is a thing to behold. Kit is just the busy-ness when it comes to handling people.
And James, the dark horse or should that be knight in shining amour on a white charger, coming to Bette’s defense and rescue in one sweeping motion. Now, will Bette trust him with this meeting? Only time and subsequent chapters will tell. It will be exciting waiting to see how and what Bette does next?
These chapters are a real treat which I savor and relish, like a toddler on Christmas morning; these delights are wrapping paper for me. The constant battle is to read slowly enough to discover the all of the fine details while tempering the desire to know it all straight away.
This story shows how each phrase, the surface of the statue, is molded like the clay into the perfect artistic position to give most joy to the viewer. The routine and mundane activities of life take on special meaning when they have be absent for a while. You have fantastically realized this as Bette and Tina take time to appreciate what they now share with each other and with their little girl.
To paraphrase Bette “How did I get so lucky?”
Thank you for your gift.
Today’s questions:
Does Alice have a ‘Lois Lane’ outfit for Halloween? Is all of this probate information readily available of all to see? Has Alice hacked in to the judicial network? Has Kofi Annan contacted Kit about possible Peace Keeping assignments? What is the name of James’ horse? Surely Bette and Tina have a dishwasher?
Awaiting your response,
Your Loyal Fan.
PS – Big Kudos on your second, well deserved award.
A testament to your astounding and gorgeous stories.
Great chapter, I also think that Bette has found her new assistant in James. This would be great because, Bette already knows and trust James and they are already use to working witheach other.
I think that both Bette and Kit should be pissed that Alice is digging around into thier father’s financies. I think that Alice has clearly cross the line here. But, yes Bette is going to be a lot more pissed and Alice is going to fell stupid when she leans that Tina already knows. I see nothing but positive thing comming out of this for Bette, because the more that is revealed, the more that Tina is going to be toched by her efforts. On the other has , I see nothing but negatives for Alice. You don’t dig into friends personal lives like this. Youmust respect thier privacy. Bette is not going to like this and Tina may also think that Alice has gone too far. Alice maybe cutting of her nose to spite her face here.
JWET GREAT JOB ON THIS CHAPTER…WE MUST PUT A MUZZLE ON ALICE….THANKS
what can I say? Great as usual. I always look forward to reading one of your chapters.
Nice picture. Tina comes home to Bette and Anna playing, dinner cooking, all is good. THen we have Alice, that girl, Bette is gonna tear her a new one. Looking forward to next update
Oh Alice…she just makes me laugh at times…I’m in awe of her talents as a journalist…no, I don’t think she’ll ever give up…lol…it’s in her nature…loved the chapter Jwet!! I sure as hope that Alice takes Kit’s advice and go to Bette first with all her questions…can’t wait for the next chapter!! Thank you!
Alice will get the drama coming!
I am enjoying this story line.
I have never trusted nor liked Alice. I think she is evil – a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Worst than Helena! At least Helena doesn’t hide her evil!!! You get what you see.
With Alice, you can never trust her or her promises to “get it”!
