    Say Nothing Chapter 9

     

    “I kind of feel like we are specials ops here.” James just grinned at his boss. He knew that she was serious about the secrecy of the exhibit.

     

    “So tell me about her. Is she a Prima Donna? Is she difficult? How much time am I going to need to spend inflating her ego?”

     

    “James, she is none of that. She is very nice. She is kind and generous. She is a genius, a master artisan and she’s beautiful.” Bette’s words softened as she described Tina Kennard.

     

    “Beautiful? So that is why you missed your flight.” James was only guessing but when Bette’s face blushed, he realized that he probably should have kept that comment to himself. He immediately changed the subject. “So, did you get to see any of her art, her studio, anything …..?”

     

    “She took me into her studio. I was so totally amazed. I saw, Say Nothing. It has been lauded as her most significant piece. She has only shown it once and that was in a German gallery. It is the quintessential Tina Kennard piece. It is the work that she has held nearest to her. It will be in this gallery James. Say Nothing will be exhibited in The Porter Gallery. I am excited about the entire exhibit but to have convinced her that she should allow us to exhibit this particular piece was truly no small feat.”

     

    “I guess I should feel like a schmuck Bette. I don’t know anything about Say Nothing.” James felt really out of the loop on this. This was not a place he was accustom to being. As Bette’s assistant he was very well versed in art and particularly art and artists that Bette liked.

     

    “It’s ok James, by the end of the exhibit you will love her work as much as I do. It is just that amazing.”

     

    “So, will she be coming for the exhibit or before hand to approve …..” Before he could finish Bette interrupted him.

     

    “I doubt it. She doesn’t come to the U.S. often and when she does she goes directly to visit her mother in Colorado. She may send Giselle though. That would not surprise me. We worked on the layout while I was there. I think we have a good handle on what to put where. Say Nothing is to be the center piece of the exhibit. Anyway, we have a lot of work ahead of us but right now I need to make a few calls. Over the next couple of days plan on spending a lot of time with me. I don’t want to leave anything to question. I want her to feel totally in control of this exhibit and that every last detail has been addressed.”

    1. i love this story… so glad tina came to visit… i have a feeling tina may not be returning to paris.. for a while that is… or just long enough to pack… please post soon…

    2. OMG!!! I so didn’t expect Tina to be in L.A. that soon but I am so freakin’ happy they are toghether again—and I am not even Bette! LOL. The suspense is killing me. I wish you could post a chapter every day. The update though will tide me over till the next one. I hope. PPS. I’m dying to know what happens next. Love this story!

    3. i agree with resultsonly… this story does give me a warm feeling inside. don’t worry about the personal notes… we would rather see new chapters sooner :)

    4. I am totally addicted to your wonderful writing! I love your self-assured, flirty, and oh-so-sexy Tina. I had forgotten that Tina had planned a trip to see Bette. Can’t wait for the next chapter and Bette’s reaction to her visit.

    5. Oh goody, Tina used that ticket, I was waithing for that. I hope Bette fluffed the sheets and made the bed as I believe that Tina will need a place to stay. Thank you, Md

    6. I think this was an arbitrarily inconsiderate place to leave us – just as Tina was meeting Bette in her gallery. You could have easily gone on for at least 5 or 6 more pages. I know I could have read on for that much more. I was just getting comfortable. Well, thanks.

    7. Sooo, everything is going according to Tina’s plan, huh? We recall she anticipated her trip, while Bette was still in Paris. We are glad that she did surprise Bette. Now we know that there is some longing on Bette’s side. We wonder if Tina feels the same. Hmmm Can’t wait for your next chappy. As you can see, you always leave us very anxious to read more. We just can’t have enough. Hahaha Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks. Lucero & Marsha (JC’s Salsa Aunties)

    8. O, it’s so nice that they have met once again)As I think we can hope for few chapters where Tina and Bette would be trying to reassure themselves that they dont do relationships=)I have noticed, that Giselle came with Tina, although at first Tina planned to come alone.

    9. awww – what a great chapter – and so very well written! looking forward to b & t`s realisation that they have the hots for each other – they will SOONER or later, right!? :)) thanks for posting this wonderful story.
