They took a table in the rear of the bar. Tina sat with her back to the room as if willing it to not invade their conversation.
“She doesn’t appear to be over you Ms. Porter.”
“Pardon me?” Bette had no idea what Tina meant.
“Vivian Beckford, she does not seem to be over you.”
“It was a long time ago. Another lifetime ago. Please, I’d rather not …..”
But before she could finish Tina interrupted. You’re single now though.” Tina was serious but still seemed to be smiling.
Bette could not believe that Tina was asking such a personal question. “I am. I am single.”
“Why?” It was odd hearing Tina ask the same question that Bette had wondered about her, just today.
“Why are you single?” Bette quietly asked. She was so fearful of offending Tina but, she was interested.
“My mother hated her.” With those words Tina took a long sip of her wine.
Your mother hated who?”
“My girlfriend.”
“Your girlfriend? You’re gay?”
“You have never seen me with a man have you?”
“I’ve never seen you with a woman either.”
“You just have not been in the right place at the right time. It is known here by a few people but luckily my sexual orientation has not been asked about nor spoken of. I’m not really out of the closet but, I’ve never been in either. I didn’t want to be known as the LESBIAN artist. I just wanted to create and share my work so, I have kept my personal life just that, personal.”
“So your mother hated her. Was it her or was it that you were gay.”
“Both really I imagine. She thought if she went away so would my gayness. Her term, but I think it may be in the dictionary now.” Tina and Bette both laughed. There was an awkward silence as both women sipped their wine.
“Well, I guess I have no secrets. My life has been pretty well documented.” Bette said with a laugh.
“Yes, I would say that I know more about the intimacies in your life than I thought I probably should.”

So exciting and promising. PPS.
such a refreshing story, can’t wait for more
The reiteration of sworn secrecy has me concerned. Will James keep his yap shut? Time will tell…Thanks!
I love this story. Both Bette and Tina are so beautiful, civilized, witty, and charming. I’m loving the details about art and painting that crop up in the story. Can’t wait for them to acknowledge feelings for each other…very very slow burn. Thanks
loving the story…can’t wait for next post
So loving this!!! B&T are so wonderful together. Thank you PPS
James needs to stay quiet till the deal is done. This is getting good, but I think we need some B&T time.
So Tina has decided to take her work to Bette’s gallery. B&T seem to enjoy each others company. I can’t wait to see more of this story.
I have no doubt that James can keep his mouth shut, but Bette made the rather fatal mistake of telling Alice she was trying to get Tina’s show… that can’t bode well. Post when you can, thanks.
i have all the faith in james… now alice is another story… loving this… PPS
Like you can see, I can leave comments here! Thanks for your help! Great story! Love form Argentina!
Bette should have kept this to herself…just hope your James is loyal to Bette. pps..love this story
If she told Alice its like puting a ad in the paper. James loves his job so he is safe. thanks
I hope that the details include one Tina Kennard accompanying her art ;) PPS
