    Secrets I Keep – Tina Kennard – The L Word – Touch Tones

    I wave away my daughter’s indiscretions. ”Should we try the wine?”

    ”I’m home! God! I’m so sorry I’m late!” Bette calls from somewhere inside.

    ”Let’s go in.” I motion Joyce toward the French Doors that lead into the kitchen.

    ”The wine’s not the only reason I came tonight.” Joyce lifts up her goblet for a sip.  ”But this is very nice of you. I’m curious what’s up? Wasn’t that her coming in?”

    ”Actually, I need to talk to you both about . . .”

    Bette_Tina CU Atlanta Kiss

    From around the corner, Bette zooms into the kitchen with a vase full of flowers for me, and placing them on the counter, after a warm hello to Joyce, she sweeps me into a kiss.

    ”How are you?! I had the most incredible day! I got a Building Fund check for so much money!”  Then, she lets me loose, and over her shoulder calls back, ”Hang on, there’s more, but wait!  There’s a crate of cantaloupes in the car.”

    ”Why a crate?” My voice sails out after her.

    Leaning against my kitchen counter, with a look of amusement on her face, Joyce asks, ”What’s for dinner? I don’t smell anything cooking.”

    Bette kicks back open the front door, and sure enough, she’s hauling in a crate of cantaloupes.”  Joyce, please take some home.” Then to me, ”Baby, I’m thirsty, and I’m starved. What’s for dinner?”

    Joyce pours her a glass of wine, and winks toward the label. ”Take it slow.  Not your speed I know, but try to savor it.”

    Bette blows back a lock of hair from her face, then locks her eyes onto Joyce. ”You do not need to lecture me about how to drink wine.”

    ”We’re ordering in from Puccini’s. I hope that’s alright.” I fetch the menus from the drawer.

    ”Puccini’s?”  Joyce opens the refrigerator, and sticks her head inside. ”Do you mind if I see what you’ve got in here? I’m a great cook.”

    ”Actually, so am I.” Bette opens the door wider, and standing side by side, I can sense between them a developing competition. Joyce tosses a package of uncooked pasta onto the counter, while Bette unloads produce from the drawer.

    ”What are you thinking here, Porter?”

    ”Hmm.” Bette takes a sip of wine. ”I challenge you to a linguine. You can make any kind you want. Mine is clams. What’s yours?”

    ”I’ll run get whatever you want,” I offer.

    ”You’re on, and you’re going down.” Joyce rolls up her sleeves. ”Tina, one second before you go.  I’ve got a few things for your list.”

    1. 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!

    2. 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…;-)
