    Reprisal Reprised- Chapter 2

     

    She had come to Bette at a time that one could definitely define as a low in her life.  Tina had left her just a month before and her struggle with that was sorely limiting her ability to function in her daily routines. 

     

    Without too many questions asked, Shelly had sensed a catastrophic loss in Bette’s life and had taken over the tasks at hand necessary to keep the gallery’s construction and development moving towards its scheduled opening date.  Throughout this process, a bond had developed between the two women, student/mentor, protector/protectee, employee/employer, friend/friend.  Whatever the definition was, it was a lasting relationship that both women had fallen into effortlessly and one that both knew would last a lifetime.

     

    “So, how was your day?” smiled Bette.  They had gotten into the habit of checking in with each other at the end of each day, sharing a glass of wine as they recapped their goings on.

     

    “Oh, pretty good” said Shelly as she made a funny expression in response to her sip of wine.

     

    “What is this?” she asked in distaste.

     

    “I don’t know” laughed Bette.  “You’re the one that opened it” she said as she brought the glass up to her nose for a smell.

     

    “God, it sucks!” exclaimed Shelly as she placed her glass down on Bette’s desk.

     

    Taking a sip, Bette allowed the wine to sit in her mouth for a brief moment before she swallowed it.

     

    “It doesn’t suck, it’s just different than what you’re used to” she explained as a teacher would a pupil.  “German Rhone would be my guess” said Bette as she brought the glass to her nose for another smell.

     

    “Whatever, it sucks” Shelly said dramatically.  “It’s probably from the Andersons.  I am convinced that they hate me and this is their way of offing me- death through food poisoning.  Or drink poisoning” she clarified.

     

    Chuckling, Bette placed her glass down and said, “The Andersons do not hate you.  They’re just not used to working with you, just as you are not used to drinking Rhone wine from Germany” she explained, proud of herself for the analogy.

     

    “You think that was pretty good, don’t you?” laughed Shelly seeing the proud expression on Bette’s face.  “You are so transparent.  Sadly transparent” she muttered under her breath.

    3. thanks for starting this story from another angle. You continue to prove that you are indeed worthy of your ff award. I am along for the ride, so take me where you must. great post

    4. 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

    5. 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

    6. yeah Skip……..wonderful to have you amongst the writers again. this is off to a great start…..and we know you will give us a story to love. thank you

    7. I am realy liking the new take on this one and I hope they get back together faster even though they have alot to talke about befor anything happens. Can’t wait to see where you take them.

    8. “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.

    9. 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.

    10. 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.
