Remember Who You Are 22
“Anything you need Tina, you know that…” Shane drawled, telling Alice with her eyes to keep quiet.
“I need somewhere for Lucy, my sister, to stay while we are all in Chicago. It can’t be our house” she said, looking at Bette.
“Elena has moved in with Lara, so I have a spare bedroom. She can come tonight if she needs to…” Shane offered, as usual always ready to help her friends.
“Perfect thank you Shane… I will text her your number?”
Shane nodded as Alice chimed in, her curiosity getting the best of her… “What happened to your sister Tina? I thought…”
“You can find everything out tomorrow morning when you three take her to breakfast. I have a 6am flight, so I need to know she is being taken care of…”
“We will handle it; I can even ask Carmen to hang with her while we are gone, she’s going to be at the house anyway…”
“Thank you, Shane…”
“Can I just …”
“No Alice” all three said together, their huddle broken up by James, who coughed politely.
“Bette it is time to unveil the painting Charlotte is auctioning off, you will lose some high rollers if you wait much longer…”
“Perfect James, make the announcement, ask everyone to assemble in front of the painting in ten minutes… get all wait staff to start handing out the large glasses of champagne… I need that time alone with Tina please…”
“You got it Boss…”
Bette wasted no more time, placing one hand on the small of Tina’s back as she ushered her to her office. As the crowd moved towards the center of the Gallery their path was easy.
Once inside she poured Tina a stiff brandy and another for herself, then motioned for Tina to sit on the couch. Handing her the drink she joined her and waited.
Tina took big sip then turned to face Bette, her voice quivering as she recounted as much of the story as she could in the limited time they had. Bette checked her watch.
“I have a couple of questions Honey then we need to go outside for the auction, ok?”
Tina nodded and took another sip, not trusting her voice.

So Tina is on her way to Chicago….who is this petite woman who is her seat mate? Funny, Funny that Eric is in coach between a mother with a baby and an old man who has sinus problems. I guess his plans just blew up. This must be something Bette arranged.
Bette shows a great deal of courage to confront Eric at her gallery. Rather risky I’d say. Eric is so unpredictable. He may decide that in order to get Tina, he must get rid of Bette. Somehow, I do not see Eric giving up very easily nor do I see him giving up with just a battle or two lost. The only way he gives up is to be rendered helpless by removing all his resources (money) or his freedom of movement (prison) or death. Bette and Tina are not the type to plan his death. But what exactly is their plan? This is getting tense.
Hopefully things will go well in Chicago.
Really good chapter…glad Tina is now taking things seriously. I thought Shane was going to be on the flight with Tina and Lara. Alice would fly with Bette. Tasha is already in Chicago. Oh well, my mistake. Shane is flying with Bette. They are suppose to be in Chicago by late afternoon right? Tina’s flight will be in Chicago by mid-morning. That’s going to be a long day for Tina and with no Bette until dinner. Just follow the plan Tina…just follow the plan.
The situation is really tense for me. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Look forward to the next chapter….love this story.
Martha!! I forgot about SHANE!. goodness. You are correct, she would have been on the flight because she works for the studio. I was so busy trying to roast the asshole Eric I forgot about Shane. Does anyone really forget Shane? Quite unforgettable, our Shane. Except I did. Hmmmm…
So I will have to come up with a plausible explanation. Thank you for catching this ,,,
I am so enjoying this story!
Thank you for posting I wait, impatiently, for the next :-)

Thank you SG!
Hi BK,
Fantastic chapter!!!
Loved how Bette told Eric off and the stupid ass still thinks his plan to get Tina in his arms again will succeed.
Hmm, that litlle petit woman is that the bodyguard Bette arranged to protect Tina till she is in Chicago too, if so well done Bette ????????????
I can’t wait for the next chapter!!!
Eric is a stupid ass, perfect description of him! Thank you for reading and commentating, it is about to get really interesting. Buckle up!
Well done, Bette! Telling Eric off and making sure Tina had protection during her flight.
Bette doesn’t play….. lol
Thanks for posting. What an opening! You pictured an really amazing party with two very proud, confident and sexy owners.
So glad that Lucy finally reached Tina. I was worried that Tina didn’t quite realize the threat that Eric poses. Maybe she got to used to the constant harassements she had to endure while working in the film industry. Well, I’m very worried for her safety.
I think Bibi is right with her suspicions about that little lady in the airplane. Could be some kind of security guard. She reminds me of Hetty from NCIS LA :-)
Anxiously waiting for the next part. Chicago! Bring it on, BK, we’re ready ;-)
cheers
I will have to look up Hetty fro NCIS LA…. we don’t have cable so I am not up to speed but the google will help me out. I was glad Tina talked to Lucy too, T is waayyyy too trusting… thanks for being such a loyal fan I look forward to your comments….
affectionate, believe-the-best in people are often “trusting”. b’sides who wants to believe that someone u’re in a relationship is a Efing rapist or worse???
If memory serves, seems to me Mama has betrayed her daughters by NOT teaching them that ny ‘ol man will do. Mama hd a supreme opportunity to jerk the slack out of E back in high school and he might have come to understand tht her daughters were not his punching bags or play toys.
Wonder what kind of person their Dad is?
DT
You make an excellent point about their dad, your memory serves you well, their mama worshiped the ground Eric walked on, would have loved to have him marry into the family!
I agree too about your first sentence, as believe-the-best trusting kind of gal myself. :)
Eric is a predator. Tina better not let down her guard for one minute. Is the woman a friend of Shane’s? Shane had a plan too. It seems too convenient for her to waiting for the same flight. Please keep that demon away from our Tina.
I’m hoping Bette has vetted the hotel in Chicago and has a team in place to shadow Tina’s every move even in the ladies room.
Tina needs some mace readily avail to USE liberally!!!!
Magic – total predator. Lots of men like him in the film industry… unfortunately!
You know full well Bette has the means & where-with-all to fully research slum dog Eric!! Laughed out loud that her alluring voice gave that mofo a hard-on y’all !!!!
My first thought that Tina’s ‘lil guardian angle is Peggy Peabody. She as tobe someone with clout in order to F with Eric’s reservation right? Or maybe Joice Whesnia??
Hatti from NCIS Los Angeles is a DEFINITE yes!!!! HeHeHe
ok really gonna have to check out Hatti, clearly I am missing out…
Wow, Bette really has no fear when she’s protecting someone she loves. I think that’s one of her best traits and her squaring-off to Eric is excellent. Tina’s naivety is a concern. I agree the small woman on the flight is something to do with Bette.
Hope Lucy is okay!
Thanks for the chapter. I love your pacing.
Thank you Largo! Tina baffles me sometimes, she is so clear on some things then completely misses the point on others…. oh well, makes for a frustrating roller coaster!
I want to share with you that I survived 3 simultaneous strokes in 2016 at 44. My comprehension and information processing is severely dysfunctional. I’ve been afraid to read since then I immersed myself in tv. Until I stumbled on this site, I found this total, magical love story. A well written story.
You have a keen insightinto the characters we love and cherished. Your descriptions infused with emotions, humor are a beautiful, welcoming sight. I laughed. I cried. I had rage. Oh, putting a billionaire in cabin next to the nightmare flight scenario was perfect. Was Eric in the last seat than won’t recline?
Please continue.

Thank YOU for your touching words and comments. I am humbled and deeply appreciative that this little story has brought you something you can immerse in. I wish you nothing but health in the months to come. And yes, please! Lets assume Eric was in a seat that doesn’t recline and that the little kid next to him spilled things and threw things and screamed during take off. I hope you continue to comment and read as I grow this story, I am working on the next chapter now. Peace.
BK
Thank you! Your story is easy for me to read and understand. Please continue!
