Starting Over
“Mom, Mom, are you there?
“Yes sweetie, I’m here. Thank You.”
“For What?”
“I don’t know, for just being you. It really means a lot that you thought to call. I’m a bit nervous about tomorrow.”
“Don’t be silly. You’ll knock em dead. Hey, wear your dark blue suit and no one will be able to think straight.”
“Ellie!” “Besides my boss is a woman.”
“Mom, like women don’t ever check you out. Didn’t you say this Gallery is in West Hollywood?
“What does that matter?”
“You’ll find out”
“Ellie”
“So tell me about the interview, you didn’t say much about it the other day. You must have wowed em for them to give you the job on the spot.”
“Well… It was kind of a…a disaster. Well that’s in the past. I got the job and now I’ve got the chance to prove myself”. Right?
“Well I guess I’ll let you off the hook for now, but you will be telling me about that interview. Just remember that you’re the best. I mean it mom. You’re great at whatever you do.
“Thanks sweetie. I love you.”
“Love you too. Knock em dead. I’ll talk to you tomorrow night.”
“Bye”
“Bye”
Tina leaned back on the bed and started to feel a bit more like her old self. She let her mind wander. She wondered if she should call Joe, but decided against it. He had been in London for the past six weeks and wasn’t due home for two more. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to share with him what was going on…it just well. She hadn’t shared with him how devastated she’d been about all of the rejections and the difficulties she was having entering the job market. I guess I haven’t wanted him to know because I’ve felt like such a… failure. She knew Joe would be very supportive. He always was. I guess… succeed or fail, I want this to be – I don’t know. Just me, “Tina Kinnard”, someone she didn’t know still existed.
Tina dozed for a while and awoke with one thought on her mind. Bette Porter. OMG she was so sophisticated, intelligent, strong, assured, graceful, kind, gentle, and soo…BEAUTIFUL. Tina wondered why Bette Porter’s physical presence had such an impact on her. She rarely took physical attributes into consideration when connecting with others; she was always more drawn to figuring out who the person really was. It was a quality she was proud of. But with Bette Porter, every movement and line of her body seemed etched into Tina’s mind. ‘What’s that about?’ ‘Was that why she’d acted like a babbling idiot?’ OMG. ENOUGH!! ENOUGH!! Pull yourself together. No more thoughts about Bette Porter, the interview, or any other thought that doesn’t involve tomorrow being a successful new chapter in her life. With that Tina resolutely strode across the room and took her dark blue suit out of the closet.

Just discovered this story and caught up. I love it! Yet another B and T beginning with a different twist. I can hardly wait til Tina shows up to work rockin’ that dark blue business suit as well as rockin’ one Ms. Bette Porter!
This is great.Love that they are older. This is Tina’s first working job. PPS thanks
Great stuff, loving it so far. Thanks, D&A!
Tina and Bette are eagerly awaiting the next day and what it will bring. Tina is as much toast as is Bette. Can hardly wait for the next chapter to see how they react to each other. Wonder what Tina’s husband is really doing overseas? thanks for posting.
Another awesome update. Thank you so loving this story :)
