Reprisal Reprised- Chapter 2
Sitting at her desk, Bette exhaled loudly at the intimidating piles of paperwork scattered across her desk.
“You have got to be ***** kidding me” she moaned in exhaustion as she massaged her throbbing temples.
Leaning back in her chair and placing her feet up on one of the medium high stacks she called out for her assistant.
“I see you found a good use for those piles of paper” laughed Shelly as she walked into Bette’s office and placed a glass of wine next to her elevated feet.
“I figured that I should find some reason that these poor trees didn’t die in vain” she chuckled as she sat up, reaching for the glass of wine.
Plopping down in one of the two chairs in front of Bette’s desk, she said, “You look exhausted.”
“Thanks dear” said Bette sarcastically. “There’s a reason why I don’t have a wife, remember?”
“I thought that it was ’cause you kept saying no” teased Shelly.
“Oh please. No questions asked and no questions answered” said Bette with her head resting against the back of the chair. “Just how I like it” she trailed off, trying to keep her eyes open.
“Salute” said Bette as she raised her glass in toast.
“Cheers” responded Shelly as she took a sip of her own wine.
“So?” said Shelly. “I believe that you harkened me?”
“Did I?” laughed Bette as she looked across her desk at Shelly. “Did I harken you?”
Shelly was a young woman in her late 20s who was at a stage in her career where all she wanted to do was learn, work tirelessly and learn. Bette saw many of her own traits shining through in Shelly when she had been that age and it made her all the more eager to impart as much knowledge and business acumen as she could in order to help Shelly along as much as possible.
Bottom line though was that Shelly had been a Godsend. She had now worked for Bette for the last six months and without her, Bette doubted her ability to not only get the gallery open on time, but to get it open at all. She was someone that Bette trusted implicitly with both her professional life as well as her personal life.

I can see this a being a continuation of great storytelling!!! Whatever Tina may have in mind it’s got to be good, how else will Bette even entertain the idea of them together again…how will she ever be able to trust Tina not to turn and run when it gets tough…Looks like the tables will be a bit turned…Hmmmm
Pls don’t make us wait too long for the next installment….PLLLSSSEEE
walked into Bette’s office and placed a glass of wine next to her elevated feet……..My next job had better include an assistant who brings me wine!!
Anyway, I agree with BTF….OK for Bette means she is doing horribly; but trying to maintain. Even Tina should know that.
Love that Shane is there for T. Come to think of it, Shane has always been there.
Skip, I’ll be with you to the finale….I cant wait til they come face 2 face………QQg 4wrd 2 the next 1

“How is She”, who, Bette. Kinda hard to get out. Shane saying Bette is doing OK, means our Bette is not good, not good at all. Looking forward to see where you take us, and for our girls to see each other.
Tina, and LA, and Bette, Oh My!
Somebody pass the popcorn, my eyes are glued to the screen.

Skip, I can feel the inner turmoil that Tina is going through. I like that she had Shane pick her up to get a gauge on her friends and Bette. I’m looking forward to their conversation.
I am loving this story. Please post soon. The 2 paths which B&T took after the breakup are quite interesting, I look forward to what you’ve got in store for us.
