Temper, Temper Chapter 6
There were now only four days to the court case and Tina was scheduled for her final meeting with Bette. Tina had asked the firm’s private investigator to see what he could find out about the artist Aidan Hall’s (or monkey man as Bette referred to him) private life to see if there was anything they may be able to use. He had come back with numerous long-range, but slightly blurred, photos of Aidan kissing his long term boyfriend that she may be able to use.
In addition Bette had told her that his paintings at the show had sold for between $5,000 and $15,000 when they usually sold for half that amount so claiming the incident had caused him financial hurt would be very difficult for him to prove. Tina had asked Bette not to disclose this information to Aidan before the case was heard. As a backup Tina had managed to locate Bette’s friend whose brother the artist had run off with several years ago and she had agreed to testify that Aidan’s lack of sexual interest in her and obvious sexual interest in her brother backed up Bette’s homosexual claims.
Tina was determined to win at all costs; she had to do this for Bette whatever it took both emotionally and physically she didn’t care, this was for her Bette. She knew the court case was going to attract a lot of media attention – she knew Aidan’s father had gone to great lengths to make sure it did as he was hoping to hang Bette very publicly out to dry. She hoped Bette would not crack under the pressure and would do whatever she could to prevent it happening.
Tina had written two pre-prepared statements as she knew she would have to have to face the press herself whether she won or lost. She picked up the two pieces of paper, the ‘we’ve won’ statement and the ‘we’ve lost’ statement and studied them for the hundredth time, then she took the ‘we’ve lost’ statement and tore it into small pieces. Losing was not an option.
Pre-court meeting
Tina looked a little tired as she had found sleep elusive since their last meeting, each time she fell asleep her thoughts tormented her back into torturous wakefulness each night. Her excitement about today’s meeting and seeing Bette again had had her pacing her apartment at 3am wide awake. She had changed her outfit half a dozen times, exchanged her shoes so many times she had ended up back at the first pair she chose having gone through everything in her closet, and she’d put her makeup on and taken it off so many times her face almost hurt. “I’m acting like a fucking love struck teenager for god’s sake” she had murmured.

Man, she’s in a bad way.
Oh dear, I hope Bette is not giving up on Tina. Look forward to your next post reeaaal soon. Thanks.
Love your stroy bit I’m having a hard time understanding how they have such strong feelings of ‘love’ for each other and they haven’t really known each other very long. Bette goes from being this arrogant, plotting femme into head-over-heels in love with TK…the ‘love’ etween them seems very rushed.
Oh, oh…Why?..:( WHY NOT TALK FIRST BEFORE THINKING THE WORSE!!… .>
Yay for cancelled meetings! I love the way they are interacting….they don’t know all about each other yet—-but they really want to! Thank you!
Insecure, impulsive, obsessive Bette is so cute in her own misguided way. I love her thinking of crimes that help her to keep seeing Kennard. Great chapter. Looking forward to the trial and resolution.
Love this story :D can’t wait until the court case is done and dusted!
OMG.. loving this… and still reading on
Excellent post can’t wait for your next update. thank you.
Gosh, this is wonderful. Poor thing. Is Tina any better off, hopefully she won’t drink herself into a stupor just before the trial, she has to be on her toes. Please just leat them go to court, win, and then have a celebratory dinner and drinks and that much needed talk. Then we know what happens after that. Really enjoying the story. Thanks for posting.
Poor Bette and hope they will meet soon at the court case. Please post more, thanks!
Bette got it bad.I hope they will win her case.Great story.Thank you for the update.
Hi tonguengroove, What a tense and difficult meeting for both gals. Tina kept to the point and was even a little dissmissive of Bette in order to retain her composure. Her declaration that she won’t be Bette’s legal representation after this case was misinterpretated. Bette just about managed to keep on top of her growing arousal. Then the bombshell, I too hope that this doesn’t send Bette running to the hills and away from Tina. Perhaps Uncle Walt will do his magic and get these gals together. I can’t wait to read more. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
