Chapter 9
An author once said that second rate people, like women, have no place in business or politics.
This was the thinking of a first rate misogynist, sexist man and Tina knew that Texas governor Stanley Pelham was a classic example. Until now she was baffled how the 64 year old democrat managed to serve two terms in a row despite the never ending oppositions and criticisms from feminist groups. She had talked to him once before in a political party that she had attended a few years ago and the experience was something she would not considered as pleasant but that gave her the inkling that she should be ready and should be in her best self once their paths crossed again.
It was ten minutes after 8 in the morning and Tina was already sitting outside the governor’s office waiting for his arrival and despite everything that had happened to her the past few days and last night she was looking so calm and collected. To anyone who didn’t know her, and many who did, but only on a surface level, she appeared to be in control, and one could easily imagine her handling any situation. And whatever personal problems or issues she had, it was inconceivable that she would let them interfere with her work.
A woman like Tina Kennard would never let that happen.
The blonde knew how hectic the governor’s schedule was especially now that he was running for his third term and even though she had secured a meeting with the incumbent governor she would make sure that she would be able to talk to him first and wouldn’t be pushed over once he and his election campaign team arrived.
As the secretary,whose desk was located just outside the governor’s office, was so busy taking calls for the day, the blonde let her eyes wandered around — rich colors, thick textures, wood accessories and anything that said “upper class”. A few minutes later a tall and lanky balding man was seen walking towards the governor’s office with four people behind him. Tina immediately stood up
“And you are?” asked the man in a deep and monotone voice
Tina smiled and laid her hand out “Good morning governor, I’m Tina Kennard”

Spazv—I have my reasons why I did that. Tina almost has it all, money, power and beauty and she’s used to a life where she is in control.

Let try this shit again! I loved, loved how you let Angel meet Tina! I’m sure Tina will faint when she sees Angel picture on Bette’s desk then she will fall more in love with them. Glad she knows Molly is the big sister so she want go thinking crazy things like Molly is Bette’s girlfriend. Glad she didn’t sleep with E. Bette was so pissed thinking she did. Thank God Bette will be Tina’s first. Its going to be thundering and lighting when it happens for the both of them. Please let it be at the lakehouse and it be just the two of them there.

You can post again today or one day this week to make up for being a day late. Even though you didn’t have any control of that. I’m just saying!!! Be Blessed and PPS
Phacey,
Thanks for this another wonderful chapter. I’m glad that angelica already met Tina. I was hoping that Tina would notice the picture of Ang on Bette’s desk but maybe it will happen in the near future. I am happy too that nothing happened between Tina and the girl. Hehe
It seems like the timid BP is now over flowing of self confidence. Not just over flowing it is also bottomless. Haha.
Five Stars for the Porter Charm. Go Angelica and Bette. Woot! Woot!
Omg, I’m so glad that Tina didn’t have sex with Erica.
Her first time will be still with Bette. She is scared for her feelings, but she knows/admit them slowly.
Angie is a amazing little girl, just like her mother. When wil Tina discover that she is the daughter of Bette?
Bette, after all has a picture on her desk.
I hope that Tina Let go of her feelings of guilt, she wasn’t responsible for the death of her sister, she doesn’ t have to prove herself, she does deserve the love she can/will get from especially Bette and her daughter.
I hope in time she will find the strenght to be kind for herself and doesn’t do what others think she has to do.
Thanks again for the update.
Phacey-
Ok short and sweet comment this time around.
As usual fabulous writing.
Love, Love, Love Angie & Tina’s meet and greet.
Looking forward to Bette hearing about it
Also looking forward to Tina connecting the dots that
she met Bette’s daughter.
Love, Love, Love that they are both talking even though there
are unresolved and misunderstood emotions brewing.
Lastly…..THIS CHAPTER WAS TOO SHORT!!!
Thanks again Phacey.
oh, Phacey. You only did it to beautify my weekend !
I told you that I love this story? even if you’re scaring us, Tina, another woman :D
The encounter between Angie and Tina was sweet. the childlike innocence everyone has to great impact. I’m wondering what happens when Tina finds out who Angie is? ( Angie seems to have inadvertently taken the first step towards Tina’s heart )
Bette was a note : ”
Didn’t like it she can hurt another woman touched the blonde; It was supposed to be her and not somebody else” -this reminds me of a different kind of possessive relationship :)
the roles have changed again (Tina surrender to Bette)
It was interesting how Bette reacted when she found out the other woman. I think Bette saw that Tina really felt about her, and not just business. How interesting that Bette ready sooner than Tina. and she will be waiting for Tina.
I wonder when Bette will see that the confident and seemed a bit cold outside behind: there is a damaged little girl who still blames herself for her sister’s death, and desperate want for her parents love and approval?
I look forward to the sequel. next week is so far away :(
Beautiful! Thank you!
Wow this was amaizing. So glad that T and Anie met. The kissing t he end mmmmmm loved it. Love your story. Please please post sooon……… would be nice if T nd Bette can be alone at th lake house
That was awesome and love it. Poor Tina to much stress, Angie are so cute. Love the way Bette with Tina so hot. Hope Tina will dump Randell soon. Please post more, thanks
loved it; great story-on pins until the next post
Always glad to see a post from you. Although English may not be your first language, your pieces are always well written. Even though Angie meeting Tina and Tina not sleeping with Erica are great plot points, I’m ready for the big event! If I were Bette, I think I would feel out out that TIna hadn’t called me, but picked up a stranger in a bar. Thanks for posting!
The scene between Tina and Angie was sweet. Things are heating up, can’t wait. Thanks
You really got me hooked up on this one! I love how it all started as a whim and now is slowly turning into something deeper. Both of them are starting to develop feelings for each other, but at the same time are scared. Especially Tina, who at first appeared as a strong, strict woman, but in the inside she’s more complex than that and she has to defeat a lot of inner demons; and Bette will be able to help her.
I’m happy they didn’t have sex yet, it would’ve been meaningless sex if it happened earlier. Now that both of them are starting to have feelings for each other, it will be way better.
Thanks for your stories!!!
Hehehehe!!! Tina, get with the program already, lol!!!! You’re killing me slowly over here!! ;)
I love this story. Your writing is so intense, You have truly captured their emotions. Please post soon.
Loved this chapter! They are building their friendship and the sexual tension is mounting.Bette is uber confident now which is a very sexy trait. Can’t wait for more. Bring it on!
I wonder how Tina will convince the governor to allow her client’s business to operate in Texas? Her beauty and charm didn’t work and those are probably her most used weapons, hmmm. Enjoyed reading about Angie and Tina meeting. Hope Tina sees the pic on Bette’s desk and puts that puzzle together. Loved that Tina told Bette she felt like sex with Erica would be cheating. This means Tina is already in deep. Her fear to sleep with Bette seems to be related to her control issue. Sleeping with Bette will make her vulnerable because it would not just be sex. She would be giving herself and that means her control of the situation as well. Am I on the right track? Love this story and thanks for the post. Look forward to your next update soon!
I hope Tina will get Bette’s help to handle Gov. Pelham. I like the role reversal, Bette taking the lead in their relationship. You are doing a wonderful job, pps.
Wow what a chapter it had everything in it I wonder how bette going to feel when she finds out about angie meeting tina pps.
Love the update!
I was holding my breath while reading the last part of this chapter. But after reading it, up to the last word, I breathed a sigh of relief. Phew! Thank you so much Phacey. Now I’m happy! And excited to read the next chapter. Waiting for more surprises..
I’ve been waiting and thinking how Tina and Angelica’s first meeting’s going to be or if you’ll ever let them meet and reading this just made my wish come true! Thanks phacey for letting us read something so heartwarming and touching. Angelica is so adorable and as early as now Tina loves her already. I can’t wait to see the moment she finds out that Bette is Angelica’s mother. The latter part of the chapter was so good,
Tina telling Bette about Erica while showing her anger and Bette kissing her after was *sigh* so sexy. I hope you can post the next chapter tonight but you know I’ll always wait for each post even I’m impatient sometimes!
Wow…so much to talk about. Thank you for keeping Tina’s legs closed to Erica. Bette should be her 1st. Tina has her work cut out for her if she’s going to change the governor’s mind. It seems like it would have to be some sort of blackmail at this point. Angie is so adorable, I hope Tina’s reaction to Bette being her mother is a positive one and she don’t freak out. She will probably freak when she finds out Bette will be going to a party surrounded by lesbians. Thank you for posting. Looking forward to a new chapter.
Love it,thank you.
Wow that good! Phasey thanks
I was desperate. I was nonstop checking if you were publishing, like every day, every week …
That nice chapter, we are all happy!
I worry that Tina miss his first major client right now. With that caveman governor someone has to do something , I hope.
At least the parents did not blame Tina by the death of his sister, it’s something. Bette has much work ahead to help Tina overcome his demons. I do not understand why Tina want to have a house on a lake. It is by the guilt she feels? There will always be sad.
Exciting encounters with Angie and on arrival at the office. Bette overcame obstacles and not let Tina ‘s confession soured. First said something romantic to Tina , very different from what he said in the apartment. Beautiful and shocking final scene.
Love it, thanks Phasey.
So Tina didn’t do the deed after all and b/c she was too caught up with thoughts of Bette? Well if that isn’t a sign that these two belong together I don’t know what is. And that Bette is willing to wait for Tina to be ready is beyond sweet. As for Tina’s business problem with the sexist pig… Maybe she can use Tim to win over old coot. Please post soon, like now would be really cool.
Good, Tina was unable to get it up for Erica. I want her first to be with Bette.What a nasty turd the governor seems to be. i hope Tina has some dirt on him to get the deal for her client. I don’t like the fact that he seems to be pressuring her to make the deal for her. Maybe she will change the type of client she represents when she spends more time with the adorable Angie and Bette. I bet Angie will talk about meeting Tina in the park. Pink kisses, huh? Keep posting, please..
I’m a silent reader, until now. This story is awesome, yet it’s killing me with all the suspense. Great job keeping us on our toes, but please get this couple together soon. Thanks
I know this is fanfiction but man this story is fucking awesome! I have a lot of things to say but i’ll start with Pelham, the man is so arrogant he irked me to the bone that i can march to his office right now and smash his face with a baseball bat! No wonder people keep on saying that Randall is the next governor. Tina’s a smart woman Im pretty sure she’ll think of a clever way to make Pelham say yes. Tina meeting adorable and pretty Angelica was so sweet and i love those pink Hersheys kisses too and i cant wait to see the moment she sees Angie’s picture on Bette’s desk. One thing that worries me is Tina’s reaction when she find’s out after Bette went to Shane’s lesbian filled birthday party. Lastly ending the chapter after Tina told about Erica with a kiss was the bomb! PPVVS!!!
Damn! I thought it was Saturday!
Hello, its Saturday! I guess your net is down again:( I’m waiting on pins and needles.
I’m desperate
I hope to see soon the new chapter
good luck Phasey!
“I do not owe you anything, but you owe me everything”. Tina I love that phrase.
This is the most frustratingly drawn out story.. I was trying to stick with it but I can’t.. It just seems like the writer is taking away from the story by drawing it out so long.. To much overkill takes away from the sexiness.. The reader is no longer anticipating them getting together, the reader just becomes frustrated with the story and some like me give up and walk away..
I would’ve loved to see what happened when the story actually lived up to its title but it’s frustratingly annoying.. Especially when you read the authors notes and know before you read the story that the author is purposely not taking the story to its natural progression..
Nine chapters in and the readers still waiting to figure how them being together physical is going to affect them which is crazy since the title alludes to them having a physical relationship that drives the dynamics between them.. But the writer doesn’t seem to want to write about that..
I hope it reaches it’s natural progression and they consummate there agreement/business deal/relationship and that writer does it justice or gives it as much drawn out fanfare as she has the entire story.. I also hope that she truly delves into how the dynamic of the relationship drives there interactions not just with each other but with the core characters, but I won’t know that cuz I don’t have the patience to keep reading…
