At hearing Alice‘s questions Tina is enraged at some of the inferences made as Alice asks them. “Alice” Tina screams. “What part of IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS do you not get? I am here today as a courtesy, believe me Bette had to rein in her anger to even consent to letting me deal with you instead of her.”
Tina pauses a minute she needs to get the gravity of the situation across to Alice. “You do realize that this is that proverbial Y in the road. If you continue on the current path I can guarantee you that neither Bette nor I will be in your life any longer. OR you can take the other path and we all can move forward. Which way are you going to go?” Tina now asks between clenched teeth.
Alice looked at Tina dumbfounded. She was serious with her ultimatum. “Ok Tina.” Alice finally got out in disgust. “I get it. You think you might be a little more grateful though. I only went after this story to begin with because of you.”
“What!! Alice stampeding all over Bette’s personal life, opening up her personal boxes, rummaging through God only knows what to satisfy your own curiosity and then say it was for me is beyond the pale! That is not an acceptable answer!”
Alice just looked at Tina with a looking totally flabbergasted. “You’re really serious you and Bette don’t want to be my friend anymore over this. Tina I started out trying to find out what was going on between Jackie and Bette. I didn’t want you to be hurt.” Alice says in her own defense.
“So it’s OK to hurt Bette in return? I don’t think so Alice.” Tina says as she stands up to make her point.
“Wow this motherhood thing has really got you all whacked out. Take a step back see that at the time neither one of us knew what Bette was up too. For all we knew Jackie was her next conquest and you were in the dust.” Alice says loudly as this conversation is beginning to escalate.
“Alice I’m not here to argue with you. This is a firm NO! There will be no article, there is no story. Nothing. I don’t care how much you bad mouth her, me or the foundation. Nothing will change my mind. You are not leaving here until you understand that fact.” Tina replied in the same tone of voice that Alice was using.

Great chapter, LOVE Tina.
I wish Tina had just put a plastic bag over Alice’s head. She just doesnt get it; and even now talking with Tina, she is still looking for a way to make everything public.
I said it before and will say it again …. Alice does NOT know the meaning of friendship and loyalty!!
I hope that you have a great and very relaxing vacation. This is a great chapter, I loved how Tina held her ground. Alice is just so hard headed and does not realize that “If you play with the Bull, sometimes you will get the horns.” Alice need to recognize that she is now dealing with the Bull (that is two bull headed women who are not going to back down, and justifiable so.), and if she does not “Setp OFF” she will in deed get the horns and not only lose a friendship but also disrupt thier extended family. If you are truly part of a loyal friendship, then sometimes all you friend should have to do is ask—end of discussion. B&T should not have to give Alice any reason as to why theywant her to give up on this story. Additionally reguardless of what is in the story (even if they read it together), Tina should not ask her to reconsider her position. I think that Bette made her point to Tina quite clear and is firm in her decision. The fact that Tina knows why Bette did this should be enough for her. In fact, it should impress her more that Bette does not want all of the public acculades. Please continue.
Thanks for posting Wahbin! It makes us happy. great chapter as always
THANK YOU JWET AND OF COARSE THE HELPFUL WAHBIN..YOU LADIES ARE WONDERFUL THANKS FOR THE FABULOUS CHAPTER….
The last word should be Bettes, The Y in the road our friendship or the story, Alice is stupided enough to take the story, Tina was very firm. thanks for posting for J=wet
jwet. you are too good to us. your words are so vibrant. if i was al id be peeing my pants. tina with a whip comes to mind. thanks for the update and thanks wahbin for posting.
Love the title and the comments from all of the other readers. Thanks for posting for Jwet Wahbin…and big thanks to Jwet for keeping us going in her absence.
ohhh poor Al.. lolol… you go T!! wonderful Jwet, another side of Tina!
Oh Jwet, you do such a great job of making me want to throttle Alice!
She truly doesn’t get it. Instead of hearing Tina’s words that it could end their friendship, she continues to badger her about reading the article. It may be a good story, but obviously that story means more to her than their friendship.
I hope Alice understand that the Y in the road just needs to have the loose ends tied together and then it becomes a noose. She’s skating on thin ice, for sure.
I hope that Bette doesn’t reconsider. If she does, then Alice will be getting her way and B&T will be setting a dangerous precedence with Alice.
Upping my meds for the next post.
Enjoy your vacation and thanks to wahbin for posting!
Tina’s on a mission and Alice is clueless. I got a kick out of the way T approached it like a business meeting – no friendly b.s. Always look forward to your posts, J. Thanks.
what’s up with Alice? I’ think I’m more angry at her than B and T.
Bette doesn’t need to be redeemed in front of the world- why would alice even think that? Obviously a great story if I’m this worked up. Thanks for writing and thanks for posting. Have a great vacation.
Well Alice is safe now but let see what Bette reaction when she read the article!
great chpater Jwet. hope u are enjoying your vacation. thanks for the posts while u are away.
Another great chapter Jwet.Something tells me Tina will let Bette read the story and let her reconsider her position. I hope all is well!!
