GETTING TO THE GOOD PART—Ch. 2
GETTING TO THE GOOD PART—Ch. 2
“I’m sorry John I was on my way to the patio when these paintings caught my eye.”
John looked at Bette kindly. “My opinion in the artworld means less than nothing but the paintings in this room are the most…”
“Powerful…” Bette said cutting John off as she was lost in the paintings again.
John smiled. “I was going to say stimulating, but powerful is also a very appropriate descriptor.”
Bette continued to look around the room with a contemplative expression on her face. “Are all these paintings by the same artist?”
“They are,” said a voice behind them.
John and Bette turned towards Peggy who was standing in the doorway.
“I’m sorry Ms. Peabody I was just collecting Ms. Porter we were momentarily sidetracked.”
“No need to apologize John I forgot to close the door after exiting the room earlier. John Tina was looking for you she seems to have misplaced her car keys.”
John nodded making his leave. “Excuse me.”
Bette was unsure if she was going to be in trouble for wandering off on her own. “I’m sorry Peggy I saw the paintings when I was passing by and I had to come in for a closer look.”
Peggy’s face wasn’t giving anything away. For a second Bette was a bit worried but when Peggy sighed and her demeanor relaxed Bette knew she was in the clear.
“I’d have done the same…in fact I did just that before you arrived.”
“Why haven’t I heard of this artist before, these paintings should be hanging in a gallery.” Bette said as she continued to look around the room.
Peggy wholeheartedly agreed with Bette’s assessment but some of Tina’s most powerful paintings had tremendous sentimental value for Tina and convincing her to show them to the world or even possibly selling them had proved impossible thus far.
“This particular artist chooses not to exhibit their work.”
“But why some of these paintings are amazing. I don’t understand the artist is willing to sell their paintings to you but they aren’t willing to exhibit them.” Bette said as she looked at Peggy with a confused expression.

Oh MY Fricken God, another Toribio story!!!!!!!!I luv it. This is so good, but don’t forget about helping hand. I luv that one too!You better be posting soon, cause i am greedy toooooo.
very good! the chemistry between B&T are incredible since the first time, Bette should try to talk to Tina again, thanks for the post
Any begining of B&T is always welcomed, and this one’s looking so good. Wonder why Tina is hiding that she’s an artist, but I’m sure Alice will find out.
Another wonderful story from you. I love how your brain works. Bette and Tina do seem to have a connection and Peggy saw it from the moment they laid eyes on one another. What will Bette think or feel when she finds out the artist that she wants to get to show her work is Tina? Great post and thanks for taking the time to post.
Toribio, this is just awesome! I know you said you didn’t know how far you’d go with this, but please, please, please, continue with this! This is such a great start! I loved their meeting and amazing connection. Of course, I LOVE “a helping hand…”, but if you could pursue both… Even if you don’t post too often… I mean, I really love this new story, please keep it up. Thanks very much!
Hmm… I thought Peggy just told Bette about how Tina’s parents weren’t happy with Tina’s sexual preference? And that she had paid Tina’s university tuition fees? Maybe I’ve mistaken again :P PPS… love this story and eager to see how it’s going to turn out :D
love ur new story with the twist! can’t wait for more! =)
This just keeps getting better. Thank you PPS I love it
i really liked B&T first meeting, the connection, the attraction, hopefully it will develop in something more
i just got all caught up i love this story pms
Hey Toribio, That was awesome. I lvoe all the intrigue in this mysterious take on Bette and Tina’s beginning. It is good to see that Peggy is still in charge of everything; the matriarch protecting her family and friends. The instant that Bette and Tina met there was a real sense that neithers life would ever be the same again. Alice;s confusion at Bette’s actions and admission on how Tina had affected er was brilliant. I could imagine Alice sitting there open mouthed at Bette’s statements. The whole idea of getting a picture or necklace from Tina and the Center was delicious. The connection between them was palpable. More please of this pleasurable and addictive read. Many thanks, Your Loyal Fan.
Another WONDERFUL story … hopefully you can post the next chapter of A Helping Hand and Neighbors.. THANK YOU.. hope the intership is going well!!
And the plot thickens… Ah, I love this story so much (you can’t tell, but I sung that). MORE SOON! Seriously, love it a lot.
