Love and Affection Chapter 3

Tina hurried up the stairs to Bette’s gallery.  She looked up and read the name of it BP Gallery.  Tina thought, simple and it worked.  She knew that Bette was well known for her modern artists that came in there hoping for a show and Bette was a powerhouse of success, so any artist was lucky to get something out of Bette Porter. 

Tina enters the gallery.  “ Hi!  I am here to meet with Bette Porter?”

James looks at the perky blonde and feels sorry for her.  She has no idea who she is dealing with.  I wonder if she thinks she can just slink and will get a show..hmph nope lady no.

“Sure, and is she expecting you?” James had a feeling so confident and circumspect and had a smartass smirk on his face.

“Yes, we are meeting for lunch and a private showing of her Dali paintings.”  Tina could tell that James had no idea that it was a personal visit versus something professional.  So, she dug at James a little.  “and are you her secretary?  Or?  I am personal acquaintance of Bette’s, she expecting me, may I walk through?”  James had a sheepish look on his face and let Bette know Tina was coming in.

Oh shit, Bette thought.  I hope I look alright, um do I look too stuffy?

“Hi Bette.”  Tina looked her with some interest and checked out the nice ass in her black suit.

“Hey Tina, how are you?”  Fuck nice skirt.  Hmm commando or?

“I am good. Starving. You?”  Um is she looking at my legs..if so nice, this will be a nice time.

“Yes, I am starving.  I had a long a night last night and had to bunk here.  Looking forward to this day to be over with and well..it is pretty much.  After your tour I am going home to soak myself in a nice bath.  Where would you like to go for lunch?  Thai, Japanese?  Hillcrest is known for some great food and shops.”  Bette was trying to be casual and tell Tina she was a chill out chic and not too fussy.

“  I love Thai, that sounds great.  Is there an Amarin Thai here on this side as well?”
