James was approaching the two women who had gone into Bette’s office for a moment to compose themselves before appearing in the loft for dinner. “Bette, is there anything that you need before Giselle and I go upstairs?”
Bette looked at Tina who gently shook her head. “I don’t think so. We will be up momentarily.” James left the office, collected Giselle on his arm and they made their way to the loft.
“OH MY GOD!” Are all of your exhibit openings like this?” Tina’s voice expressed her inability to believe what had happened the last couple of hours.
“Nothing quite compares.” Bette’s voice was low and sexy and her smile melted Tina where she stood. “We have had some wonderful exhibit pre-view parties but none have been quite like this. If this gallery were larger, we could have tripled the amount of people in attendance. Three to four times as many people who got in, wanted too. Tina, I told you, we have been hungry to see your work here. The next couple of weeks are going to be nearly as crazy.” Bette closed the distance between them and taking both of Tina’s hands in her own she gently pulled her in for a kiss. “I want you to know that I have not forgotten what it was you just had to say. You know, that comment that you did not want me to respond to. Just know, that it is still foremost in my thoughts.”
Tina removed one of her hands from Bette’s, slipped it behind Bette’s neck and pulled her in for a passionate, lingering kiss.
Tina broke the kiss first with some hesitation. “We can talk about it later.”
“Come on, your adoring fans await.” With Bette’s hand still firmly clasped with Tina’s they made their way to the dinner reception.
“It was much the same as the earlier part of the evening had been, just on a more intimate scale. All in attendance wanted their picture taken with Tina and to have a few moments to personally connect. They would relate the story of their attendance at the first ever US exhibit of Tina Kennard’s work, for years to come. When she was respectfully regarded as a master artisan, they could say they had this special opportunity to break bread with her.
The Peabody’s were of course in attendance. Peggy, ever her regal self and Helena, beautiful as always. They left themselves to be last as they were acquainted with Tina.
“Ms. Kennard, I must say that this is some event that Bette has held in your honor.”
“Tina, please.” Tina wanted to lessen the formalities.
“Very well Tina. This has been an outstanding evening for you and for those of us who never thought that there was anyone who could convince you to exhibit in the States.” Peggy looked at Bette with a sly smile. “ Kudos to you Bette. You have done what many before you were not capable of accomplishing.”
Tina spoke first. “Let me thank you both personally for being here. It was very nice to look out and see a few familiar faces. I think that Bette and her gallery delivered on exactly what she promised in her presentation. She presented some compelling arguments for this exhibit.” Tina looked at Bette thinking about the whole compelling argument comment and smiled.
“Well, I merely provided the venue. Tina’s work is so powerful, I really had little to do with it. It moved the project along on it’s own volition.”
“Bette you are a force to be reckoned with in your own right. You simply must take credit were credit is due.” Helena spoke to Bette but her eyes were wondering up and down the blonde at her side.
“Thank you Helena but the force at work here is the work of Tina Kennard. Her masterful eye, her keen sense of what the person viewing the work will be thinking, the depth of her conviction for the piece and the unabashed truth with which her work evolves. She’s amazing, simple put, she’s amazing.”
“OK, enough about Tina Kennard.” Tina was blush with the admiration.

WOW… Thats Great… I love this story… Helena looking Tina means that here comes the dram right… post Soon
love this story thank you for the update. My favorite couple would take the art world into their hands: the best gallery and gallery’s owner and the bet artist in the world. PPS
Wow, that turned out better than I expected. I can’t wait to read more. PPS.
Helena needs to keep her wandering eye to herself, Tina is taken by the beautiful Bette Porter. Can’t wait for the next update. Great Story.
Here comes the drama. Helena can look but will be up to Tina is she can touch. It Tina doesnt want, them Helena will really be in trouble as Bette will be a force,that she hasnt incourter before. thanks
so first yes I like to see what Bette is feeling..I love the glances that they were giving each other all night…now to Helena I don’t know what up with the look but i am guessing that Tina only has eyes, heart, body, soul, etc for Bette not to mention I thought that the group of friends realize that they were “together”…PPS
Great chapter, loved it. So happy that the opening turned out the way Bette wanted. Lovely chapter. PPS
Someone, please tell Helena to keep her mitts off Tina or Bette will knock her block off.
helena can look… but i think she KNOWS she better not touch… another great chapter…PPS
I really really really need more of this story!! LOL seriously post soon :)
Great story. Can’t wait for more. Helena!!! Hands off!!!!
Your story makes me wish I could “see” Tina’s art. You describe it as amazing and powerful but I’m afraid my imagination is just not good enough to get me there.
love it, love it, love it! i like the way bette reassured tina that she hasn’t forgotten. now i can’t wait for bette’s declaration :)
Ummm, it seems that Helena would like to vie for Tina’s attention. Thankfully, Bette did mention that the love that Tina had shared was in the back her mind and that it would be addressed at a later time.
Jinjur wow, what a vibrint chapter, so very clear in the minds eye, & Heart too. Helena, we don’t even need to talk about that, Right?, so as I was saying, maybe next chapter we will see them celebrating their success???? Maybe, please??? Thank you, Md
Bette needs to put the “smack down” on Helena right now! Oops,did I say that in my “out loud” voice? My bad! There is no way that Tina’s going to fall for it. Not gonna happen…better not happen…jinjur? Please?
The whole event detail you gave us was just AWSOME! We could visualize all the arrangements that Bette and James have made as to make Tina’s work shine and receive the proper recognition not only from the people in the Art world, but also from the media. Excellent chappy, Jinjur. We loved it. PPS Lu & Marsh (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
love it.
Great love stories are hard to find! You give us hope! As well as artistic and musical inspiration. Thank you!
That was a great chapter. I’m glad it turned out well. I keep waiting for the drama but I am very pleased there hasn’t been much. pps
lovely lovely lovely! do I need to say more!? oh – and wonderfully written!! :) please post soon! Thanks.
is helena interested in Tina?Or is Helena flirting with Bette Bring on the next chapter PPVS
Amazing!!!! I hope Bette tells Tina that she is head over heels in love with her. Now Helena better just look and not try and touch or Bette will knock her on her pretty little ASS!!! Thank you PPS
That was wonderful!
