Bette had, of course, arranged for champagne to be set up for the drive to the studio, chilled and waiting for when they piled in. Shane entered first, with Carmen close behind followed by Alice and Dana. Giggling, laughing, all in high spirits. Bette held Tina’s hand to gallantly assist her in the car before shutting the door behind her as she settled comfortably next to her wife. They all lifted their glasses to the upcoming party, the movie, and finally – and most importantly – to each other.
As the limo pulled up to the studio, the flashbulbs from the reporters started going off.
“They think we are someone important…” Tina said, rolling her eyes. She leaned in to playfully nudge Bette. Bette wrapped her arm around her wife, whispering “you are someone important…” while at the same time Alice chimed in seriously, “I am someone important”, looking at her face in her compact mirror. Tina giggled softly then took a deep breath to prepare herself as the limo came to a stop.
Bette reached for her hand, knowing Tina hated the spotlight, knowing how shy she was.
The doors opened and they each stepped out and made their way to the red carpet, half the reporters moving on to the next limo in hope of better star power. The rest of the gang headed into the Studio as Tina was asked to pose for a few pictures. Bette stepped off to the side, wanting to give Tina room, but Tina grabbed her hand and pulled her quickly next to her. “Stay with me” she whispered so only Bette could hear. “Stay with me”, she repeated, looking into Bette’s eyes as the cameras clicked clicked clicked. Bette nodded.
Inside the drinks were flowing and everyone was on a high postproduction. After an hour or so, Bette and Tina got separated as Bette was drawn into a conversation with some local artists who also did set design and Tina was pulled into a conversation with the author of the book the screenplay was based on.
On one side, they were all wanting to know details of the Gallery opening while on the other it was all about the possibility of a sequel. Bette’s laughter could be heard as it floated over the crowd to settle gracefully on Tina’s heart. She smiled, then took a minute to watch Bette work the room. She was in her element, simply spectacular, as she moved around effortlessly, gracefully from one group to another smiling here, shaking hands there, laughing and talking to all. Tina forgot how many people knew Bette, not only did she accompany Tina to many movie events, but she had risen to the top of her own industry and successful artists and movie folk often mingled in the same circles. No one could take their eyes off her, men and women looking at her as she walked by, some reaching out to get her attention. Tina’s heart swelled, knowing this magnificent creature belonged to her.

Someone needs to lay Eric and his petty ego out on the floor. He is harassing Tina and making her job miserable. He needs blanket a party and Jodie is next. Tina is so passive aggressive to blame Bette. I m glad that Bette called her on it.. What a horrific work environment. PPS
Hi BK,
I am happy you didn’t go Black Friday shopping but instead wrote this chapter.
For one second i was afraid Tina was about to give in to Eric! It wasn’t a good move of her to drink so much wine and at the end to lash out on Bette. She said some very hurtfull words and yes whined as a small child.
Tina is a grown up woman and falls fast back on old behaviour when she is insecure. She can learn from Bette, she has matured so much and was right to tell off Tina. Maybe some therapy would be good for her.
But i loved how gentle and stern Bette spoke to Tina while dancing and making Tina feel protected at the same time.
Thank you for a wonderful chapter!
Oh and please kick Eric back in the dark hole he crawled out of! Tina should report Eric for harassing Tina! Same for Jodie.
Tina..Tina…Tina. Why on earth would you blame Bette for your bad situation with Eric. Tina has been a strong and courageous woman. Its time to take responsibility and not allow Eric to get away with his behavior. After the 2nd glass of wine, you should have left the table. As soon as Eric put his arm around Tina, she should have objected with something like “Eric, I am not your girlfriend and I am not your date to this event. And therefore I would appreciate it if you would not act as if I were and keep your hands off of me.” He is going to keep pushing until Tina does something. Call him out on his bad behavior. And do it publicly. I recommend a swift knee to the groin! Remember, Tina is planning on creating her own studio and leaving Aaron and Eric to their own devices.
As to Jody? Well, let’s see what happens to her. Surely she will get her just rewards sooner or later. You cannot keep getting over on people forever. Sooner or later that which she sewed will grow into her reward. She will need something from Bette and Tina someday and they will not hesitate to say sorry, no can do!
I love the way Bette handled this. She latched on and would not let Tina run. That was what was about to happen. Tina is now having to figure out how to resolve her problems in a more mature way. She still has to tell Bette the entire story about Eric. Brilliant move on Bette’s part. I’m sure Bette was not sure that she would get the desired results, But Bette’s new method of confronting the problem head on and not allowing Tina to run will give more success to their relationship than failures. This is another episode which will make their relationship stronger and more lasting. Beautifully written.
Love this story bunches. Cannot wait for the next chapters….
Thanks for posting! Reading your latest chapter made this cold, wet and dark winterly weekend much more bearable :-)
Great interaction between T + B. Not all love, peace and harmony but a few bumps on the way which Bette handled very well. Tina saw where she has to work on herself for the sake of their marriage.
I’m with Martha: please let Tina find some more self-confidence and tell Eric the caveman to show some professional behaviour. I hope she finds this strenght before the trip to Chicago. And after putting him in his place, she should concentrate on starting her own business.
Looking forward to the next part.
I really love this, so glad you did not go shopping!
Looking forward to your next post!
