Priorities
“Spending more time with your friends is a good place to start but don’t do it out of a sense of guilt or obligation Tina.”
“I’m not. I’ve been thinking about what you said. There are a lot of things in my life that I have control over. I realize that I need to get my priorities in order. I need to decide who and what is important in my life and what I want for the future.”
“I hope you figure it out Tina because you’re the only one that can do that for yourself.”
“I know Valerie.”
“Did you and Bette talk about the baby?”
“We did somewhat. You could have said something Val. I mean half of WeHo knew that she was adopting a baby and I have to hear it from some smartass remark from Alice.”
“Tina you know Alice hardly thinks before she speaks but the fact is she didn’t know that you didn’t know about the baby. You heard her. She just assumed everyone knew. The reality is that you would have known too had you not decided that it was more important for you to make an entrance on Eric’s arm than to get to the gallery opening early. What would have been so hard about telling him that you would meet him there?”
“He didn’t know anyone except you. He didn’t want to arrive on his own. Besides I told you I couldn’t reach him in court.”
“He delayed you by almost an hour. Then had the nerve to want you to leave early with him so he could go back to work and have you waiting in his bed when he got off? What the fuck Tina? You would have missed my exhibit for that?”
“We drove together Val. He wanted me to spend the night. It was just easier for me to wait for him at his place since he didn’t know what time he’d get home. I’m sorry okay.”
“So I guess when he ended up staying until the end he was anxious to get you home to his bed. Is that why he was so impatient to get you in the car?”
“Val where are you going with this?”
“I just thought he was being inconsiderate Tina and especially given the occasion. He had to know how important it was for me to have you there. He monopolized you all evening to where no one else could even get close. I’ve never seen him so clingy before.”

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!
