“She’s opted not to communicate with me either so I can’t say for sure how she’s doing. I’ve heard from friends and colleagues that she’s running around with Catherine Rothberg.”
“Who’s Catherine Rothberg?”
“She’s bad news. She’s a professional gambler and she doesn’t travel in the best social circles.”
“Aren’t you concerned that Helena’s hanging out with her?”
“Of course I am concerned for my daughter’s safety and well-being but she’s made her decision. She made it very clear that she doesn’t want me interfering in her life. She’s a grown woman Tina. She’s got to deal with the consequences of her choices. I’ve provided very well for her financially. If she chooses to gamble it all away then that’s her prerogative.”
***
Bette and Francesca rejoin Tina and Peggy and they are soon informed that dinner is ready. They talk more about the plans for the baby and the Peabody private collection and Francesca’s gallery in Italy. Once they finished dinner Francesca announces that she’s tired and wants to go to bed.
”I really enjoyed it today Bette. I’m sure Alex is going to love all the new things you bought him.”
”Yeah it was hard not to buy out the store. Thanks for agreeing to do this Francesca you know it means the world to me.”
”I know. Will you be spending the night?”
”I need to go home to pick up some things but I’ll be back later. Just call me on my cell phone if you need me before I get back.”
”I will. Maybe if I have a hard time falling asleep you can tell us the story of how Aardvark Makes Pasta.”
”I will be happy to. I might even stop at a book store and pick up some new stories.”
”I’m sure Alex will enjoy whatever story you choose. He just likes the sound of your voice. It calms him and that certainly makes it better for me. Peggy I will see you in the morning. Tina it was nice spending time with you today.”
”I enjoyed spending time with you as well Francesca. Have a good night”
After Francesca goes to her room Tina decides it’s time for her to leave but realizes she doesn’t have transportation.

Glad Valerie called Tina out on things….Tina is stubborn but she is slowly figuring out what she wants but she can’t expect Bette to wait around while she gets her shit together ..But she’s trying to make time for Bette and her friends now and she still needs to kick Eric to the curb as she continues to make excuses for him and why she is with him…
I agree Tina needs to sort out her life…..does she want Eric or Bette?
Hey BAT, so enjoying your story. I love the way you’ve developed your characters. Tina has an edge to her that is rough and insecure and shows off a tendency to be aggressive and unsure of herself. A new tilt in a story about her and Bette is someone we’d all love to have in our corner as a friend, lover or partner. She kind, generous, brilliant, so gorgeous and SO patient with Tina.
Now Tina is finally waking up to parts of her self that really aren’t too pretty. I wouldn’t care to know her in this story with the personality that she has. I loved that Valerie called her on her shit, as someone had to. This ‘open relationship’ stuff really isn’t what its all about as she uses it to hide behind.
She must have been really hurt in some past relationship as she doesn’t seem to trust allowing others in too deep. Well, as they say, all good things must pass and if she isn’t careful, Bette will be gone sooner than she thinks and her chance at a relationship of amazing quality will be blowing in the wind!
Excellent piece of writing my friend! Thank you!
IMO, this was one of the top chapters in this story. Tina is kind of floating around , not anchored to anyone. Tina has to decide if she wants a committed relationship and with whom. If she wants a “just friends w/benefits” type of life so be it but when she is older she will regret losing “the one that got away”. She is very insecure when it comes to her “relationship” w/Eric. It is a soulless relationship only sexual. She may care for him b/c he is relatively nice to her but Bette is all good things plus she is exciting. She would lavish all kinds of attention upon Tina or any partner. It’s just her nature.
I appreciate the frequent and longer postings.
Val summed the whole truth in this conversation with Tina.
Now she has to take a foot in the ass of Erik.
Great chapter.
10 stars.!
Nice Chapter I enjoyed it. You have given Bette such a lovely character here which makes you just want to go and be part of her life. Glad Val has knocked some sense into Tina and I hope she will now kick Eric into touch asap!
