“Good morning Alice.” Bette looked her directly in the eye and gave her a smile that said to Alice, keep her mouth shut and I’ll do the talking. “Good morning everyone, this is Tina, Tina Kennard.”
“Helena stood immediately and offered her hand across the table. “Lovely to see you again Ms. Kennard.”
“Ms. Peabody, it’s nice to see you again. Please call me Tina.”
“Tina, this is Dana. You’ve met Shane.” All eyes fall on Shane with a glare. “And this is Alice.”
“Why am I always last to be introduced?”
“For emphasis, Alice.”
“Good morning everyone.” A chorus of hello, good morning and hey, followed.
“So you are the famous Tina Kennard.” Alice was ready with rapid fire questions as only she can ask.
“I am not sure that I am all that famous though. Would you have known anything about me if you had not been told by Bette?”
“Well, I’m .. I just … I don’t know as much about art as Bette does, that’s all.” That exchange effectively quieted Alice for now.
Tina felt the she should explain her presence. Looking directly at Alice. “I know that Bette had you Google me Alice.” Shane’s hand covered her mouth so as to not show her smile. “I know that Bette told you all that she was coming to Paris to try to persuade me to show my work in her gallery. You all know that she came to Paris and now you all know I came here. Now, let’s eat, I’m starved.” She patted Bette’s hand and smiled. The conversation around the table was easy and relaxed. Tina was asked about Paris and art. Alice did ask the question about the exhibit and Bette fielded it right away.
“There has been no decision on an exhibit of Tina’s work.” Bette started.
“But … if and when there is an announcement Alice, would you like an exclusive?” Tina wanted these women to become her friends as well. And she was beginning to like the funny, feisty, young blonde.
“Like the exclusive! I would love the exclusive.” Alice was bouncing a bit in her chair and quietly clapping her hands together.

I love your story-it’s great. Thanks for sharing! PPS!
Soon they’re going to have to talk about their feelings for each other and the 7000 or so miles between LA and Paris. I can’t wait! Thanks for such a good story.
yes, ur right that’s not quite the ending i wanted, nonetheless thx for posting. i’m into the story. really like tina; and bette knows how 2 handle her gyrlz. pps.
They are so cute together. How to deal with a LOOOOONG distance relationship, and Bette’s past! PPS.
Dont’ worry about the ending…it’s fine…they are still getting to know each other. Is this conversation going to spark their first arguement? LOL Drama. Loved this chapter Jinjur. PPS. On a more personal note, I am happy for you and ChaCha. It’s rare to find love that stays with you for the long term (at least, that’s never been the case for me). It takes one who knows what love is to truly express it in words — as you have. My best to you and the love of your life. You guys inspire me!
Hope that long distance does scare Tina, because distance is what it will be for awhile. Tina knew how to stop Alices mouth. Helena lost out on Tina when Tina met Bette thanks
Ok djrk, your right, not such a good place to stop, so get back here and tell us what Tina says now. Gee wizz for the first time she is not trying to stop Bette from talking and you quit? Thank you, Md
Very perceptive…I can’t believe you stopped it there! I hope we get to see “the talk” sometime this weekend…(I know pressure). You talk about daily posts like they’re a bad thing? Seriously, nuch thanks for the time you take from your life and love of your life to write this story for all of us fanfic fans!
You’re sooooo bad! How can you do this to us?? jaja I’ll be here waiting for the next chapter! Hugs, my friend!
“Tell me about the other women in your life Bette.” – – “Teeeeena. Why would you ask me that?” – LOL, only Bette would ask
wow…glad tina didnt shy away from alice’s questions. alice would have smelled the blood in the water. cant wait to read what happens next.
Hey, I did good this time, only one chapter to read. The question that both Bette and Tina asked is a legitimate one. What exactly do they feel or want from each other. If they both want more then they move to the next step. If not, then move on. I am hoping that they will move to the next step. Only you know what that next step is. I can’t wait to read how you are going to connect them, ummm, you know what I mean.
I loved the interaction with the girls… and Tina handled Alice and Helena with such class …very impressive! NOW just what exactly is Tina’s intent?!! Is Bette just a fling? HMMMMMM… I have Too many scenarios running through my warped little mind right now LMAO!! Great Post :)
That was great, love the way Tina let Helena down, Alice is crazy but gonna love her!
Great Chapter!!! I love how Bette turned the question back on Tina. Thank you PPS
OH, how can we ever truly hate an ending of yours unless it’s the end of the story which this certainly is not. Love the post I really like your version of B&T. I don’t think anyone here would hate it if you posted every day…except your gal because all of your time would be focused on the story and not her. LOL PPS
i see a new post from you and there is an instant smile on my lips. this is such a feel good story. thanks for the update and hopefully we see the continuation of their conversation this weekend :)
excellent read…i am going to bed now with happy Tibette thoughts.
Not sure if Tina feels jealous or dissappointed… I am not unhappy, but I’d like to read more of this conversation. Hope you can update really soon. Thank you for this story – I love it.
bette ur such a coward the woman came from paris to l.a and u hold back? i will kick u lol
Yey! I love it, Tee is totally using her skills of lawer-isms-y tactics to cross examine Bette, but Bette is just firing them right abck at her, what a wonderfully equal partnership.. woo hoo! More. Soon. Please.
hmmm – I think an update has to follow soon! I want – no I NEED answers – give me “THE TALK”!! :) love this story. please post soon. Thanks.
Sorry I didn’t post a comment on the last chapter. I like the ending of this chapter. I like how Bette threw the ball back in Tina’s court. Eventually, they will have to talk about their feelings and the great amount of distance they will have between them. Should make for some interesting conversation!!! PPS
Tina made quite an impression to the gang. Her boldness was welcome and placed the troublemakers on their right dimension. Hmmm Bette is still scared of the feelings she’s developing for Tina. That is why she prefers to rebout the question to Tina. She needs to relax a bit. We sense some trouble in paradise, but one that Tina can solve easily. This is getting more interesting, as times goes by. Thanks for this beautiful update, DJRK. Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks. – Lucero & Marsha (JC’s Salsa Aunties)
DJRK WHAT HAPPENED TO PAGE FOUR? I LOOKED ALL OVER CAN’T FIND IT. LOVE YOUR STORY THANKS FOR YOUR POST.
Oh, I definitely think Tina is right for the space, and the delaying tactics Bette’s trying to use are going to be for naught once she sees the light. Great as always, djrk. Thanks
Love how Tina let Helena down, by enlightening her that she’s with Bette. They should tell each other the truth about their lives before they met. That was then this is now.
Have I mentioned how much I love this story? I hope they talk about their feelings….pps
