Remember Who You Are 16
She cleared her inbox, impressed with the decision making by James and with the progress he had made in the smaller details for the show. These were the details that mattered in the end: the valet, the wine offerings, the appetizers, the coat check, the lighting and temperature. These could make or break a show. Bette was well known for the attention to detail, for her reception and hospitality to her guests.
She let him know about the addition of the three new pieces from Elena and gave him the bio and piece descriptions that Elena had provided for her earlier in the day so he could add them to the program. There was some maneuvering needed to accommodate the largest of the sculptures, but they flowed well with the other art she was showing.
She paused, thinking about Tina’s admission that she wanted a baby and her own emotional reaction to the news. In her heart of hearts, Bette wanted another baby, desperately wanted another shot at the family she craved so badly. Wanted a chance to be the mother her own never was. But at what cost?
Last time it had nearly cost her everything that she held most valuable in the world.
She had failed Tina miserably. Falling back on old patterns of seduction and meaningless sex with Candace that had no place in her life. How desperate she had been to be touched, to be held and how far away she felt from the one person who mattered the most.
She was in the process of sending an email to her therapist when a new email popped up in her inbox.
From Lara.
To: BettePorter@PKGallery.com

Bette
I hope this email finds you well. I heard about Tina’s accident and want you to know that I am here if you need anything or if she needs something from her office.
Bette, I don’t know what to do.
I am concerned about the trip to Chicago. I am worried about Tina.
There has been talk. Rumors really, about Eric. Today, he asked me to let his assistant make the hotel arrangements for him and Tina since they would need “executive privileges”. I informed him that her schedule and accommodations had already been secured and that there was no need to change them as she has the best room and perks money can buy. She has an entire suite on the top floor with concierge service and a smart table to accommodate her technology needs.

Go Lara!!! Brillant for her to inform Bette as to Eric’s activity. Smart for Bette to go to Chicago to be with Tina. She will be available for whatever Tina needs. Tina will be more courageous with Bette by her side.
I hear the theme from Jaws as the story unfolds around Eric. I think Eric is going to need a bigger boat!
I love this story…I love that Tina is assuming some of the responsibility for their breakup. And she is making the effort to make her relationship with Bette a stronger and more solid relationship for the future. This is what it takes to heal the wounds of the past and to build a strong foundation for the future. This is what provides the real intimacy between these two. I love how they are being so dependent on each other to get themselves through the rough spots of their lives. Now just work together to do Eric in and they can celebrate a victory.
Love, love, love this story….can’t wait for more.
Martha3128!
Way to speak the emotions of my heart and soul!!!
Oh BK what gr8 JOY to read the chapters of your louscious Tibette tales.
For me, you have filled in the thoughts and actions of this couple UNlike ANY Author on this fab website barr none.
Especially when it comes to vividly constructing the past of Tina which the writers of TLW didn’t reveal.
Oh how I love what Lara has done for her Boss, her friend, for Tibette.
I figure BK has to torture us for perhaps two more chptrs until the “gladiator games” begin and the official “whoop ass” on Eric will commence.
Gosh I hope Tina had audio & video strategically placed to capture Eric’s actions. What’s more, inappropriate workplace texts & emails hopefully store for hard copy printing.
DT, gladiator games – I like that term. My money is on Bette Porter every damn day. That can of whoop ass is bursting to get opened, Once Eric is gone, I will have to find a new antagonist, any ideas??
Tina will have her free-of-malice way of dealing w\boy Eric, but I’m sorta hoping for the Bette of old to lay into him with a proper “cussin”!!
Let me dwell on upcoming “antagonists”. Sure its in me to come up with some
I have faith in you. Tina’s sister? Jodie? (I’m tired of her in case you can’t tell, she has faded away so I need to address that….)
Jaws theme song lol. I used the bigger boat line yesterday with the tornadoes that hit the southern part of the US… so much rain!
Jaws theme song is appropriate my friend
Yes, cheers for Lara. I understand her reasoning to send this information to Bette as Tina won’t check her mail while ill. And yes, I love Bette’s decision to go to Chicago as well.
But please, please, please tell Tina what Lara wrote and did! It’s not breaking Lara’s confidence, Tina has to know. Not the same mistake again. Didn’t Bette just apologize a second ago for making decisions for Tina without even telling her? And in the blink of an eye she’s making decisions for her wife again?! Didn’t Tina just say that in the evening she will discuss with her what to do about Eric and Aaron? Gosh, Bette is worse than a little child who won’t listen to its parents.
That aside, Eric is an ass. I really wonder about his agenda. Late revenge and trying to discredit Tina? Simply being a male full of himself and expecting Tina to go back to him with flying colours? I wished that Bette and Tina (maybe also with Lara’s help) would come up with a cunning plan to turn the tables on Eric.
Thanks for another brilliant chpater, BK. Still loving your bathroom scenes, the tenderness and closeness, Bette being able to show her fears, Tina being reflective on her former pregnant-self.
Can’t wait for the next part!
Thank you Kiwi…
Not sure why my characters always seem to end up in the tub. I personally prefer a hot shower but my story seems to take them there. Eric is all the things you describe. I think the closest real life person would be Matt Lauer maybe? Slimy, full of himself and utterly contemptible. Once his crimes come to light, Matt had nothing to say.
Thank you for your comments and reading, glad you like the story
Wow. Hadn’t thought about Bette possibly getting sideways with Tina because she asked Lara to book her a flight to Chicago.
Seems like previous chapters suggested that Tina knew Bette would join her in Chicago at some point; but just not on the 1st day perhaps???
I’ll go back read Lara’s email again
What a bastard, excuse my french !
The bathroom scene was so tender, I loved it .
Post soon again please.
Thank you, French is allowed :)
What a asshole, what is Eric thinking, hoping he can seduce Tina in bed with him?!
I am glad that Lara send a email to Bette and that Bette is going to go to Chicago and i hope she will give Eric a ass wooping he will never forget.
The bad scene was so incredible good and sweet.
Looking forward to the next chapter!
Thanks for the post which, as usual, I enjoyed tremendously.
Please let Bette tell Tina about Lara’s e-mail and that she will be going to Chicargo
