Out of Closet (B&T time-travel romance), Ch. 55
“Aaron assured me that she doesn’t have much power over my work but she might create some personal hell for me,” Tina finished her wine and relaxed in Bette’s arms. “She’s been pursuing me since you began working at the CAC and I don’t want to deal with this nonsense when I have so much work to do with my documentary.”
“How do you feel about it…about Helena pursuing you?” Bette asked casually, trying to hide how nervous she was to hear Tina’s answer. After all, Helena Peabody was gorgeous, classy, educated and rich heiress.
“Honestly, I feel overwhelmed,” Tina replied after a momentary pause. “I’ve never been pursued so relentlessly in my life.” Tina felt Bette’s body tensing and smiled at her reassuringly. “You have nothing to worry about, baby. I’m pretty sure that Helena just enjoys the challenge and thinks that everyone she approaches will fall head over heels in love with her. But I’m already in love. I have found my soul mate and my best friend…” Tina kissed Bette gently on her lips and smiled again, “and I’m head over heels in love with you.”
“And I’m in love with you,” Bette smiled back, intensifying their kiss as she moved closer to Tina. “Everything is going to be okay, baby.”
“Everything is already okay…everything is perfect now,” Tina smiled and closed her eyes, so content to be in Bette’s arms.

Bette watched the door closed after Franklin left and sighed. It was a very stressful day. They had problems all morning with the arrival of the art pieces for their latest exhibit. Some paintings were delayed at the customs at the airport and Franklin just left to deal with it personally.
Earlier an artist, whose work was featured in the previous exhibit, called, complaining that she was misquoted in the LA Art Magazine and demanding that Bette took care of that problem. Bette knew she had a copy of that issue at home and reassured the hysterical artist that she will look into it.
Candace and her crew were at the gallery all day working on the exhibits and Bette had to deal with that as well. In spite of being a nuisance to Bette, Candace had the best and most reliable crew in town and Franklin hired them again. After their conversation a little over a month ago Candace stopped her relentless pursuit of Bette, at least on a surface, and Bette was glad that she didn’t have to constantly worry about the carpenter being unprofessional and annoying again.

So glad to see you back :-) and thanks for this update, very powerful in so many levels and it left such a mix feeling now.. I hope another update will come soon to fix this ;-)
Now that was rough…i figure it would come out sooner or later. Tina was selfish but i understand..she didn’t want to loose the love of her life.. So Bette has to decide if she can forgive her. Bette should try walking in Tina shoes…if the decision was TIna and Bette knew that their was a choice “would she give Tina all the details”???

Oh Dear! How heartbreakingly sad that was? I know you’ll make it right. Thank you for this story.
Glad you are back.Great update bad sooo sad.Hopefully Bette comes back soon.PPS
That was incredibly selfish of Tina to take that decision from Bette, and her rambled excuse just seemed like back peddling. It was worse that Tina thought that life was so grand with that big elephant skeleton in the closet. Bette deserves the time away maybe Candace will help her unwind. Not very bright Tina, hey, you and Helena do make a better match. Thanks for the update.
