Starting Over (29)
Bette took her glasses off, leaned back in her chair and looked up at James.
“James I am really impressed. You two seem to really work well together.”
James beamed.
“Yeah, she is so organized. I’m really learning a lot of tips from her. It just seems that we can fly through tasks.”
“Well, I’m impressed. Why don’t you head out early?”
“Gee Bette, Thanks. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Good Night James.”
Bette began reviewing and signing the pile of papers that James had set on Bette’s desk. After about 45 minutes she sat back and looked at her desk and smiled. She reached for her phone and dialed Tina’s extension.
“Tina, could you come in here a minute? I just want to go over some information with you.”
Bette smiled and awaited Tina’s arrival.
“Hey Bette, what’s up?
“Well Tina I really wanted to share a very serious piece of information with you.”
“Sure Ba..Bette, what’s up?”
“Well for the first time since I opened this Gallery there is absolutely nothing in my ‘to do’ pile and frankly I think I am in shock.”
Tina looked at Bette and smiled and both women laughed.
Bette joined Tina on the couch, put her arm around her and leaned in for a sweet kiss.
Tina pulled back and whispered, “Bette, be careful, James could come in at any moment.”
Bette giggled. “It’s okay T, I sent him home early. You guys accomplished more than I thought you’d get through for today and tomorrow. You have really streamlined this place. I can’t tell you how much I’ve appreciated everything you’ve done here.”
Tina leaned in and gave Bette a sweet kiss. “Well thank you, Ms. Porter.”
Oh wait hold on there a minute tiger. I have something else I have to share with you.
“I spoke with my lawyer and he wasn’t too concerned, but he made a few suggestions. He strongly suggested that I discuss the situation with James and hold a formal counseling session with him. He explained that in such a small office we’d have to be sure that James wasn’t uncomfortable in any way. He’s sending papers over for James to sign after the session.”
Tina looked at Bette seriously and commented.

Excellent storytelling. I love that Tina is very competent and has ability. In the show, she sometimes was portrayed as incompetent and weak by IC.
Thanks for the update. I’m so glad these two are finally together and acknowledging how they both feel for each other. I’m sure James won’t have a problem with them being a couple. I hope nobody else gives them a hard time.
Ahh, Bette used the right L word this time. Very sweet chapter, D&A, thanks. :)
Loved it!!!! I guess Bette had Tina for lunch!!! Thank you PPS
what a nice chapter, and a great ending!!!
Wow, Bette has worked out the legal issues of their partnership. I also think that James is going to cool about it. He likes and really needs Tina to continue to help with the work load.
Great chapter. wow and that ‘extra’ work place activity was something else. :) Bette went a bit wild there didn’t she :)
Fantastic and emotional for Bette and Tina. I just hope all go well as Tina still has to divorce and tell Ellie. I love the way they are moving towards each other. PPVS
Very touching. PPS!!
I love this B&T, strong but gentle. They deserve this passion between them. Tina, in a loveless marriage and Bette trying to find the person who can be her equal and not like Bette bully her. Great update.
Fantastic update. Love it. Thank you :)
loving it! thx for the shoutout, i’m honored.
