Both Bette and Jodie whipped around to face the confident voice of the woman that strode toward them. Bette felt light headed, unsure of what was affecting her most, Tina approaching them at this particular moment – or Tina in the most stunning dress she had ever seen.
Tina paid little attention to the perturbed artist. Locking eyes with her prey, she caressed the brunette’s face with her hand and tilted her head upward for a heated kiss. Bette succumbed to her lover’s mouth, loving the possessive side of Tina she was now privy to.
"I missed you," Tina stated breathlessly, as she used her thumb to correct Bette’s smeared lipstick.
Bette blinked back in astonishment. Her body was on fire and all the anger and hatred she had felt for Jodie moments earlier was gone, replaced instead with the love and lust she felt for the woman beside her.
"Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t even notice you there," Tina addressed Jodie. "Tina Kennard."
"Jodie Lerner."
"Oh. Your name sounds familiar, I just can’t place it."
"I’m an artist. A sculptor."
"That’s right." Tina stated dismissively, turning once more to Bette, "I just spoke with James and he said that tonight has been a success. This show was even bigger than your last and Tricia has sold a good number of her pieces. I’m so proud of you, baby." Tina leaned forward and kissed the brunette again, much to Jodie’s chagrin.
"I should go"
"Bye." Tina didn’t bother to turn around, choosing instead to wrap her arms around the grateful gallery owner,
"Is she gone?"
"Yes." Bette whispered
"Did she shut the door behind her?"
"No." Bette looked into Tina’s eyes and sighed, "Thank you" she mouthed wordlessly.
"You don’t have to thank me," Tina stood back and looked Bette up and down, "You look beautiful. I love your hair up like that."
"You look pretty amazing yourself." Bette cocked her head to the side and licked her lips, "How will I ever be able to keep my hands off of you."
"Who says you have to?" Tina grinned slyly.
Bette rested her forehead on Tina’s and took a few deep breaths.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I just. Tonight has been amazing, but having you here with me – that’s better than anything else."
"Better than a ridiculously successful opening?" Tina teased.
"A thousand times so, yes. It may have taken me a while to figure some things out in my life, but I know this much to be true, Tina. I have never felt like this for anyone. Never in my life would I have ever chosen someone over my career, let alone my gallery. But as happy as I’ve been tonight," Bette took a breath and caressed Tina’s cheek, "You walking in here, seeing your face…"
"Bette…"
"I do love you, you know. It’s crazy to say it this soon, but I do. And I don’t want to play games anymore. I just…I just want you to know. And I promise you, that you will always know how I feel."
Tina reached up and wiped a stray tear from Bette’s beautiful face, "No more tears. Tonight is about you, and about Tricia and her amazing work. Let’s go out there and show those New Yorkers just how lucky they are to be sharing this night with you."
Bette nodded and clasped Tina’s hand, walking Tina out into the main gallery.
"And Bette?"
"Yeah."
"I love you, too. More than anything or anyone."

Awww. the ending was brilliant. Lets hope jodie doesnt come back for more because Tibette will be ready to rumble.
Thank you for this treat. I was just thinking of this story and, bam!, a new chapter comes up :)
Tina is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!. That was the most effective dismissal I’ve ever read about or seen, and I’ve actually seen a few in my time. That was priceless. However, I don’t think we have seen the last of jodi but, if she has any sense at all, she will walk away and stay away. Tina will tear her apart if she tries anything else. This was a great chapter, loved it. Thanks for posting.
Great story! Tina did the perfect take-down.
This is one of my favorite stories of all time. Great characterizations with open, powerful personalities who definitely know who they are. No wishy washy attitudes allowed here. :-)
WAY TO GO TINA!!!!! Great Chapter!!! Love this story!!! Thank you Happy New Year!!! PPS
you go, Tina…jodi better be gone for good…thanks for another great chapter
That was absolutely brilliant. I am glad that Tina took being late in stride, and her timing was perfect, just like herself. The kiss to Bette in front of Jodie was priceless. Yes they have admitted their love for one another.
and jodie has left the building… loved that… so glad tina didn’t take that any other way… when jodie siad bye and tina said bye… i was hoping she would of added… “(Don’t) let the door hit you in your ass on your way out”… love this story… pps
