Bette dressed quickly and got to work and changed her schedule for the day.  She could do what she wanted she was the owner of the gallery and it was investment that was paying off.  Her leaving LA and CAC was worth it.  San Diego was treating her well.  The weather here couldn’t be much better than anyone could ask for and though there was always traffic, Bette was at peace at night.

Tina plowed through her meeting explaining how Peabody investment is a huge support for the upcoming new independent films that were coming about and the projects that could be worked on with great people too.  Helena and Peggy Peabody were thoroughly impressed with Tina’s presentation and professionalism that it didn’t take too much pushing for them to want to draw up contracts.  Helena was impressed with Tina’s outfit, nice dress suit that was black and hugged at her hips just right and her cardigan covered by a suit jacket that matched her skirt and hinting her cleavage was all tempting to wondering what else she was hiding underneath.

“Tina, great presentation and we are so excited about joining together with your studio.  Are you free for lunch?”  Helena flirtatiously looked at Tina up and down.

“Oh, thanks Helena, yes it will be exciting.  Lunch?  Well, I am actually busy today.  Perhaps sometime next week?  We will need to meet up anyway to go over the final paperwork.”  Helena looked defeated that Tina couldn’t see that she wanted to do more than just talk work.

“Sure that would be lovely.”  Oh well, Helena thought.  We will have to work together don’t want to make it awkward.

“Ok, well I have to get going.  I have an engagement to get to.”  Tina was so excited about lunch with Bette, she was thinking should she change or do something else with her hair make up?  Fuck, who cares..she was gonna go with the flow and hope to see if Bette was may be into her?

Love and Affection Chapter 2

Fuck, what the hell?  Bette turns over and realizes that she had slept at work again.  She sits up and straightens herself up as best she could.  James comes in with coffee and messages that she had missed since that morning.  James knowing not to piss her off, gives her messages and coffee and scurries off.  Bette thinks to herself that James and her need to talk about his spine issues and how needs to grow a pair.
