The brunette swallowed, resting her eyes once again on the telephone that sat in the middle of the large conference table. The ticking seconds felt like hours of uncomfortable silence, suffocating her with her fugitive thoughts about the ramifications her parting words would have not only on her relationship with Tina, but on Tina’s relationship with her boss, and on her friends’ expectations of her relationship with Tina.
As anyone would have guessed, it was Motormouth who pierced the veil of quiet which had been stifling the room. “Did you just out your girlfriend at work?”
The sheer panic was evident in Bette’s big brown troubled eyes. They blinked only in response to the shock of a single clap loud enough to grab everyone’s attention. Joyce knew that her sudden diversion would relieve Bette of the barrage of excited interrogations that would surely begin while the clock was still eating up Bette’s initial retainer deposit. That was no way to make effective use of a client’s funds for Joyce.
“Alright, shall we bring James in and put him out of his misery by telling him the good news about signing with him?”

Alphaville Records
Tina dropped her head again and let out a breath she had been holding once Aaron shut her office door.
Dana turned to her friend and started rambling. “I’m so sorry, T. I froze up, I didn’t know what to say or how to respond or what he wanted to hear, or if I should even –”
“It’s okay, Dane.”
“– let on that I know her or if I should have said that we were –”
“Dana! Relax.”
“Okay.”
Tina closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair trying to get a grip on the events which had taken place in the last three minutes. Once her breathing returned to normal and her heart rate appeared to slow down from the adrenaline rush, she opened her eyes to find the PR Executive failing miserably at hiding the smile threatening to take her cheeks hostage. The blonde allowed herself to smile too, knowing what her friend was thinking.
“So much for her expecting me to say it first, eh Fairbanks?” Tina delighted in the newly discovered knowledge of her girlfriend’s feelings from the slight case of verbal diarrhea she had contracted.

I had a feeling that was the alternative plan! Good for the Porter sisters. And maybe a new job for Tina? – who might need one soon… Great update!
glad you back thanks thanks.
Yup, I’m still reading :) Just when I think the next chapter can’t get any better, you go and prove me wrong! MeLL, this was even more brilliant than your last post! I was secretly hoping that Dana might try to cover Tina, and your descriptions of each band members reactions to Bette’s “doh!” moment were hilariously spot on :) As an independent artist nothing tickles me more than to know that Fierce Kitty Records is the brainchild of the Porter sisters and that they have James on board as their agent too. I can just imagine Aaron’s reaction once he discovers this tidbit of info (hahahaha). Oh, and I love slntdr’s idea too… Thanks for such an entertaining, fun and educational story MeLL — you ROCK!!! Looking forward to your next post whenever that may be. Til then, take care and enjoy the holidays :)
Poor Dana lol at least she bought Tina a bit of time to think things over. Aaron’s ‘spasm chasm’ Q reminded me of that old 1 level game Chasm Spasm lol terrible terrible game. Thanks for sharing mell :)
Great chapter.Love the way Joyce works and takes no prisoners. Loved the idea of Fierce Kitty Records last chapter and knew that it was the Porters had established their own record label; and well they should. Now Tina can have a job finding new talent for their own company and helping with producing Kit and the Stouts. Keep the money in the family. Love the story. Thanks.
Loved it.
I was excited to see another post!! Great update…can’t wait to see what happens next!! PPS :)
Wonderful and thank you for posting. I will just have to be satisfied with 1 update for this week :) Thank you again for this story.
Oh, I knew you were still posting and I was religiously keeping up. I just failed to leave a comment for reasons unknown, even to me. Another fantastic chapter, if I may say so. I don’t know much about record labels but I think Fierce Kitty is punching above its weight category. Who’s going to finance such an ambitious venture? But hey, this is fanfiction and it is your story and I’ll faithfully read on. I’m definitely loving it!
Go fierce Kitty….have a feeling Tina will be joining the team soon. Great chapter. Thanks
So glad to see a post from you!!! Waiting with anticipation for the next chapter !! ( hurry on up!!!)
Shew!!! Thank goodness Aaron thought that Bette was talking to Dana and not Tina. So the Bette and Kit is starting up their own label, interesting and smart. Nadia is dense and lucky for her, her comments about Tina was over the phone or she would have probably been strangled.
OMG I should’ve warned you that I’m the most unlucky person ever. And I live in Vegas! Needless to say, I don’t gamble for that very reason, whether it’s skill or luck, I lack it. Oh well, thanks for another awesome post.
Phew! Good thing tina is good under pressure when Dana isn’t. She was able to get rid of Aaron and divert a disaster. Wonder what Bette’s reaction will be when Tina says th “L Word”? Great update as usual. PPS
LOL…. I really can picture Dana and Tina’s reaction when Aaron barking at them!! :-D So great writing MeLL!! No matter how many times I read it, I still in awe!! :-) anyway if thrice is not a feasible option, what about make twice as a minimum standard?! ;-) he3… No pressure!! Just my wishful thinking maybe?? ^_* LOL
That was so good and love it. Please post more, thanks!
Poor Dana,but what now?Thank you for the update.Amazing story.PPS
