They spoke for over an hour, and after some complicated arrangements due to the time difference between the coasts, made a few phone appointments for the following week. Bette had to admit feeling a bit better after the call, but inwardly chastised herself for needing to talk in the first place.
But now her feelings were betraying her again, oozing out of the tight seams Bette had sewed to keep them contained. I cant do this now, she thought to herself. I dont have time to fall apart. She wiped her eyes and began to apply her mascara all over again.

Come in baby girl! exclaimed Kit, dressed to the nines in a black fitted dress covered in sequins, extremely high -heeled shoes, and a solitary diamond pendant hanging like a star on the dark canvas of her skin.
She moved aside to let Tina into Dreams, the renovated coffee bar turned nightclub. I didnt think you were coming, she continued while pulling Tina into a hug so hard that Tinas air supply was momentarily compromised. Please, come sit at one of the reserved tables over here, she said while pulling Tina into the room.
Were not staying long Kit, said Tina. I really just wanted to come and wish you luck.
But you have to come in for a minute, girl! Plus you havent introduced me to your friend yet, smiled Kit.
Kit, this is Helena Peabody, Helena, Kit Porter, said Tina.
Kit, this place looks bloody brilliant! said Helena, smiling and reaching out her hand to shake Kits. Id like to talk with you sometime about coming in as an investor and continuing the expansion youve started here. The market is obviously ripe for it, she gestured to the throngs of people already inside and the line at the door.
I would love that Helena, beamed Kit as Tina looked on with a confused expression on her face.
Helena grabbed Tinas hand and led her to the bar area. One drink Christina darling, she said, then well leave. We wouldnt want to appear rude.
Okay, said Tina a bit reluctantly being led to the gleaming stainless steel countertop and ordering a seltzer water with lime.
Bette watched the interaction from across the room, sunk down in a chair. Shane and Alice were up on the dance floor, so Bette was alone at the table. She had been quietly surveying the crowd and watching the ease with which her sister greeted both friends and strangers to the club, her bubbling warmth filling the club like a well-stoked fire on a cold winter evening. Bettes heart was in her throat when she saw Tina enter the room with Helena. She wasnt mentally prepared for this–Alice told her that Tina would not be there. She gulped her glass of merlot and then grabbed Alices vodka and tonic and drained that as well.
Helena put her arms around Tina from behind while Tina sipped her drink. You look gorgeous tonight Christina, she nuzzled into Tinas neck. Dance with me?
Dance? Me, dance? Ha! replied Tina. Yeah, thats a ***** sight, a pregnant woman boogying on the dance floor!
Seriously, said Helena, kissing Tinas neck lightly.
Seriously, no, replied Tina. I really dont want to be here, and Im a bit confused about why you insisted that we come, Tina continued pointedly.
Im sorry luv, I just thought it was the thing to do. If it makes you uncomfortable, well leave now, replied Helena consolably. Just let me run to the ladies and Ill meet you at the door.
Helena entered the womens room with Bette just steps behind.

I am SO loving this story. It is the one I look for 10 times a day. Thanks so much. It is very well written. Good for you for writing after so many years.
Ok… let’s see what happens… great update
I normally don’t make suggestions about where the story should go as I think that is the discretion of the writer. However, this once, I am going to make an exception to my rule. Please, let Bette go into the washroom and bitch slap Helena for all she’s worth (All Bette is worth, that is, not Helena as she is pretty worthless to me).
awesome chapter. i like the story line and your writing style. more please.
Really great – ready for more.
*doing a happy dance* new chapter! new chapter! this story is so great, it just feels right, so spot on with Bette’s characteristics, you’re doing a great job capturing the complexity of this situation between Tina and Bette. I’m loving it!
