Secrets I Keep – Tina Kennard – The L Word – Touch Tones
In my own fog of possessiveness, I’d returned to doubting how the many women, coming and going and coming again – but mostly her sharing them all with Jodi – was really possible in the closed universe of her being The Star, and the only one who could ring her lovers far out past the farthest moons of Saturn, before bringing them shivering back to Earth again.
When my haze had lifted, I was able to see this scenario as never working, and I’d consoled myself that she’d never endanger her sexual prowess, but I’d gone to the Gypsy’s house in Hancock Park, and I’d left there with a Love Charm, just to be sure.
It’s not that I wanted Bette returned to me, twisted off and wracked with pain and confusion, but that she would be miserable was step four, and step five would be her home with me. My plotting – alongside her swings from certain to uncertain behavior – had made me trust in my readings with the Gypsy more and more.
When the spell had been cast, and a piece of silk had been wound around the magical ingredients and tightened, to draw in the magnetism I’d been assured still existed, but was yet come; I’d secreted the Love Charm behind a zipper in her luggage packed for Big Bear, and had waved so-long with utter confidence as she drove away.
Since then, I’ve wondered more than a few times, if I should tell her about the Gypsy. Let her know – in words – that I’d wanted her back, just as much as she did in the end? Or if I should let it be, and let it go, and let us roll on with my secret kept for a little while longer?
As I walk myself back through my treacherous steps, and how I’d waited for the right combinations of things to appear in my love life, I’m convinced I have the same cunningness for the movie business. My takeover of Shaolin feels imminent, and I need Joyce for a new contract, and me and everybody else? Needs to have a little faith.
I stop by the studio canteen for an iced latte, and taking a deep breath I call James. When seven had been inked into Bette’s calendar, Joyce’s battle-hardened gatekeeper, Jean, was my next call.

This bit of Tina’s thinking had me and a friend of mine laughing just now. Please enjoy the story. It was a lot of fun to write.
To have been a fly on Bette’s wall, as Jodi’s sign language and hand gestures had insinuated . . . that her necessary infidelities were coming soon . . . and to have seen Bette’s face, as it had dawned on her that Jodi – the also Alpha-lover – by way of signing with her fingers and otherwise, intended to fuck someone else . . . to this day, I’m so sorry I missed it.
That had me laughing too!
You have a writing style so unique, i love it!
It is important that Tina doesn’t hold secrets and tells everything to Bette, i am sure Bette is willing to help her.
Bette is so competive and loves a good challenge, bring it on!
And Angie, she is so cute!
Thanks for the update!
TINA does have a sense of humor with those descriptive metaphors of being with HELENA/HENRY.BETTE on the other hand falls in the catergory of voodoo.All is fair as the saying goes and TINA got the help she needed.Taking over the studio from AARON gonna be a walk in the park i hope.thanks

You have taken your story line to a whole new level…Tina going to a Gypsy to entrust her relationship now with Bette will survive…wow…did not see that coming…so thrilled you did that. Tina is smart to realize she needs someone to ride shotgun is right…someone who has the stomach & nerves of steel to handle the game plan to take over Aaron’s job.
Laughed when I read Tina blushed recalling the sex with Helena at unusual places….right
place in the storyline to place this…I understand Bette now; so not surprised the complexity of Bette hating & trying to get Tina back at the same time…you did a fantastic job with Bette’s character. Like how you didn’t make Jodi a wimp of a character…Bette leaving her won’t have
shedding tears…Good to see Joyce back in the play…self assured; spoils herself comes to mind; can manoeuver anyone she wants…maybe that is the definition of a lawyer…haven’t given much thought to it…No one lectures Bette; though I don’t think Joyce had that in mind…
Bette & Joyce cooking…looking forward to that challenge…well…looking forward to the next chapter better put…you are one intriguing writer…can’t get enough of you…;-)

Masterful nostalgia! Helena and Bette were my absolute faves! A Joyce/Bette showdown…the PPV event of the year
I’m about to update this story.
Excellent chapter!
Bette loves a challenge.
The whole constellation
