The L Wing — chp 19
“Before we begin I just want to apologize for how foul tempered I was last week. There is no excuse for how I spoke to all of you – I offer no justification. You are all invaluable to me and I know that I cannot operate without my team. It is a pleasure working with a bunch of amazing, intelligent, dedicated and passionate women. I have added four extra days to all your leave entitlements – I hope you enjoy your days away from me”
There is a silence that is an indication that Bette has never apologized for her high handedness before. I always sit in the same seat during senior staff – where the others cannot see me unless they turn to look at me.
Bette catches my eye when the others are looking at one another in amazement. I take hold of the necklace she gave me and I touch the heart – hoping to convey to her how much I love this woman. I can see in her eyes that she only wants one woman – me.
“Okay – don’t all gush at once – lets get on with business ” she looks at Shane.
Shane starts the meeting but right from the start everyone knows that she is struggling. Bette isn’t looking at her at first – she is reading a memo while still joining in the discussion about what we have to deal with in the next few days.
After one issue has been done to death the room falls silent – normally Shane moves the meeting along briskly but not today.
It is clear that she is not only floundering but utterly lost. I see Bette looking at Shane who is staring at the floor. Bette looks at the others and then at me. The others are too in awe to step in which means that I have to intervene.
“I’m sorry Madam President – Shane was saying earlier that she wasn’t feeling too well – would you mind if she stepped out
for a while ?”

What a wonderful surprise, thank you
ohh poor shane, and now she has to life with knowing Tina and working along side her…pls yes our addiction, more, more
I am sorry to hear you are having a tough time. I hope that writing brings you the kind of joy it brings me…it always seems to make everything just a little bit brighter. And, it most certainly made my day brighter to read this chapter! Thanks!
nice twist! good story – so much so I can’t read the Blyane Cooper/T Novan sequel to Madame President that I was going to read from my book pile! Thats how good you are!
this a surprise about shane but thankyou
wow, what a twist, maybe it’s not love, just respect and admiration? there’s carmen, put them together and shane will be saying soon: bette who? great update…tina is tough and experienced…i hope she really loves bette, really loves
I have missed your posts, but “real life” can sure interfere. Hope things are better now. Didn’t know if I would like this concept, but am loving it! Looking forward to your next post!
Love the assertive Tina, great job!
Damn! Poor Shane, there’s very little that’s more painful than unrequieted, unspoken love. Hope she’ll be able to keep functioning and find someone of her own. Been wondering where you’d got to, hoping for rapid improvement, life and computer-wise.
“Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way…” I had a fleeting thought earlier that Shane might see Bette as more than a boss and a friend. I can understand Shane’s jealousy too. I mean, she was Bette’s main woman so to speak for so long until Tina came along. As for the real life problems, I hope they continue to improve.
Repeat after me: the word for today is “awkward!” I can’t wait to see how this plays out in your excellent story. More importantly, I hope life cuts you some slack soon. All the best.
So glad to see you post Ally missed your wonderful story!!!
AHH Poor Shane!!! thats got to be tough!!! …but im selfish..lol and im lovin the drama and the endless possibilities of where this can gooooo.
what!!!!! shane and Bette, now thats a matching i would like to see, but maybe in another story because this story, i hope, is totally only going to be a Tibette story. anyway love it and plz continue!
D**n that was DEEP and Soooooooooo good. Please feed us, especially on Monday’s because with the way S3 is going Sunday’s really suck for TiBette lovers.Now to you, please know that when we send you pm’s and comments asking for more chapters, it is only out of our love for your talent as a writer and okay our LUST for your story LOL. I hope that our love for your story brings joy to you and good luck with your computer problems (I have had problems that has taken a committee of friends to solve, but we seem to get through it.). I hope that you don’t have to put the old girl down. But, if you do, they can be fun to build. Feel better and remember, You are too blessed to be stressed :o)
WOW!!!
Nice little twist I wasn’t expecting that.
that was great….you need to just hook up Carmen and Shane…that will help get Shane over the POTUS.
uh oh! like BATF said, maybe carmen could …intervene? hee hee. excellent chapter!
poor shane. hope things look up for you soon ally!!!
Loving your writing, was giggling along as usual (particularly liked “we could call this scene study in confusion.”) and then you got me all subdued and pensive. Poor Shane. Cool twist – very interested to see how it plays out. I agree with the Carmen suggestion and trust you to work Shane’s feelings out in a suitably slow and thorough fashion. I adore this story and missed it while you were away, however your happiness is obviously more important than slaking the apparently infinite desire of your readers. Update when you can and be good to yourself. Thanks for writing.
i knwe it! that is not a normal Shane attitude!!! poor Shane work with somebody that she likes and the wors thing is that person is in love with somebody else. Great chapter, i really like it. post soon
I’m sorry to hear about your PC- I thought you had the issue fixed. Glad to at least see that’s not stopping you :) Please continue.
Totally devoted to your history…keep going!
Poor Shane, knowing that Tina is the LOVe of Bette life is going to be hard on her. She is a trooper tho. Someone will come into her life and she will say Bette who. Thanks
OMG what a surprise…..too me anyway :o))
So Shane is crushin on Bette; well that explains why she was so against the preshooking up w/ Tina. Now that Shane’s secret has been revealed how is she going to see Tina and every day??? On to the next chapter.
Wow what a good twist!
serious ally we r a bunch of addicts needed a fix!! loved it more more plz
aww poor shane…
awesome as always. I love Tina’s compassion for Shane. She figured that one out quick. Wow.
Incredible…never a dull moment with you. I’m enjoying this so much.
