Remember Who You Are 18
“Alice!”
“What Tina? Bette is flying first class and she will need me to keep her calm during the flight! It’s a sacrifice I am willing to make.”
“Yes. Thanks for taking one for the team” Shane drawled, getting up to get a stronger shot of coffee.
They made a few more phone calls and booked one more ticket, this one on a different flight that would arrive the next morning, ahead of the group. They went through the agenda and timeline of the event, taking apart the itinerary with military precision, noting where all the “Major Players” would be. Lara had emailed Tina Eric’s itinerary last night. In a stroke of luck, he had insisted that Tina have it and provided it to Lara himself, telling her which events he expected Tina to attend.
Lara had confessed to Tina that Eric was frustrated, on edge. Tina’s absence at work was grating on him and she had overheard him arguing with Aaron about her working from home. Aaron was fed up with Eric, the injuries to Tina were clearly painful and Aaron had no problem with his best Producer working from home while she healed. For the moment, he was pleased with her work, she had sent him a new script that looked promising while all Eric did was sulk in the break room.
Eric had slammed the door to his office, Lara said, her position near Tina’s office giving her proximity to the unfolding drama. When he emerged an hour later, his perfect smile was once again plastered on his face and he was the picture of calm professionalism.
Tina was pulled back to the conversation when she realized Alice was still talking.
“You will have to go to some of the same meetings… a. because it is your job and b. we don’t want him becoming suspicious.” Alice instructed as they all looked at their own personal copy of his schedule, complete with highlighted events in different colors, a code Tina could not keep up with but that Alice knew well.
“Actually, no. I am not going to change what I want to do based on him. I highlighted the meetings I am going to, but I am not needed at most of these, trust me. Add my interview with New Age Productions at 1:00, which – if it goes well – could last several hours. I confirmed it this morning. It is in the Peabody suite, so I won’t be spotted with them and it looks like he has the marketing presentation at the same time anyway.”

Hi BK,
Thank you for keeping our favourite couple Tibette alive!!!
I really want to know the plan on how they are going to catch that bastard Eric! And how Jodi will be exposed as a fraught, she already is the talk in the art world.
What is it what Bette want to tell/share with Tina?
So many questions i want to see answered. I hope you are able to update soon.
You really have me at the edge of my seat with the plan for Chicago. Nicely done, always fading the paragraph or the scene with just a teaser to allude they talk about it and to build up the tension.
Like Bette I’m a little anxious about Tina’s safety.
Loved how Tina turned the tables and managed to help Bette and ease her workload. T + B complement each other so well.
Alice did good to point the right people of the press to Jody’s doings.
Thank you for posting, BK, let the game begin – but grand opening first :-)
Thanks for keeping Tibette alive on these pages. Please continue to do so.
Love this story and waiting to see how Eric, particularly is dealt with.
Thanks for posting, looking forward to next post.

Despite Bette’s doubts, I believe Tina, Alice, Shane, Lara and Tasha with Bette’s help will have a good plan. They will also have some alternatives in the event some part does no work out. All they will need in the end is the phone number to the Chicago PD and our friend Eric will be unemployed. The only thing that will save Eric is if he behaves himself appropriately and that is not likely.
I like that Aaron is getting a little put out with Eric. Tina is producing even though she is at home and Eric is doing nothing.
Jodi is getting her just rewards as evidenced by her own misstatements and misdeeds. When to take credit for work that is not yours, sooner or later it will catch up with you. And the fact that Tina and Bette did not take revenge for the “Core Values” exhibit will not cause them any harm to their reputations and careers.
Great chapter…love the humor and the intimacy. And I love that Bette and Tina are working their relationship in a healthy stable fashion. Even the fact that Bette has asked for some alone time and it is being granted by Tina is a good thing for their relationship. Bette promises to tell Tina what’s on her mind later and I believe she will. Everyone needs a bit of alone time to process things.
Lovely writing…. look forward to more.
