Valerie: Yeah. Bette wants a mural on one of the walls in the baby’s room. I’ve got it all sketched out. It will be the first time that I’ve ever painted on a wall instead of canvas. I’m a little nervous.
Bette: There is nothing to be nervous about. Just think of it as a giant canvas. You’re an amazing artist and the sketches you’ve shown us are perfect.
Valerie: I will ventilate the house but there will be paint fumes. I don’t think Francesca should stay there.
Peggy: We’ve already talked about that. They are both staying with me.
Bette: I’ll give you a key so you can come and go as you like.
Valerie: Can I use your pool?
Bette: Of course. That’s one of the fringe benefits. Just promise me no wild parties.
Valerie: Promise
With the plans finalized the group finishes brunch and go their separate ways. Tina, Bette, Francesca, and Peggy got into the chauffer driven car for their excursion to the most exclusive baby stores in the area. They registered for the gift items and purchased everything else that they needed. They bought two of the most essential items so they wouldn’t need to take things back and forth between Bette’s house and Peggy’s.
Tina marveled at the camaraderie between the three women. Bette was so caring, protective and attentive to Francesca and her needs. They were so comfortable together that it was hard to believe they weren’t life-partners expecting their first child.
They finished shopping in the late afternoon and went back to Peggy’s house where Bette left her car. Peggy invited Tina to stay for dinner and she accepted. Francesca and Bette unpacked their purchases and put things away while Peggy and Tina talked.
“Tina how are you doing? Max tells me that you’re working a lot of hours and barely taking any time off.”
“I have been Peggy. I just felt like I had to do everything myself to be on top of it. I know how important it is that we have a successful merger and a profitable company.”
“Tina that is my hope but I don’t want you sacrificing your health and well-being to do it. You have unlimited resources and many qualified people who can take on some of that burden.”

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!
