    The Roommates – Fast Forward to 2019: Chapter 29

    “Well, I can tell you that it may come along when you least expect it.”

    Carmen laughed. She looked out at the gallery, speaking to the emptiness. “Do you hear that universe? I least expect it. Send me someone now.”

    They laughed together before Bette grabbed another mousse and Carmen started drinking iced tea. Bette filled her in on what had been happening with Sidney. She left out the part of their physical altercation.

    Carmen looked at Bette with incredulity. “And you still pulled this off? I knew I had picked the right gallery. Tonight was fantastic. It was classy but not pretentious. Your artists all seemed happy and you can feel the detail in the way you presented every piece. I purchased two for my house in New York.”

    “You did?” asked Bette.

    “I did. In your speech, you said you wanted to evoke emotion. The pieces I chose definitely evoked emotion. You’re talented Bette. I knew that when you visited. You have an eye that is second to none. I know my work will get the best exposure with you directing my showcase.”

    “So no backing out? No desire to go with MoMA instead?” asked Bette.

    “Absolutely not. If there was any doubt before, this show completely obliterated it.”

    “Good. You’re in good hands.”

    “I believe you, Bette.”

    They kept talking. As the clock neared 5am, Carmen gathered her things and called for a ride to LAX. As they waited together for the car to arrive, Carmen sighed.

    “What is it?” Bette asked.

    “Did you tell Tina about me? Did you tell her I was here?” asked Carmen.

    Bette blushed for the millionth time that night. “No, I didn’t.”

    “Tell her,” said Carmen.

    Bette nodded. “I will. I just didn’t have enough time to explain. I didn’t want her to worry.”

    Carmen smiled. “Please tell her. I don’t want it to be weird with me working with you this spring. I don’t want to wind up as some dirty little secret. Especially when you and I both know that you are totally gone for this woman.”

    “Am I?” asked Bette.

    “Do pigs wallow in the mud? Do birds fly? Do dogs chase their tails? It’s written in your eyes. When you talk about her, your whole face lights up. You’re different, Bette. In no time at all, you’ve changed.”

    1. Wow! I’m speechless. I hereby bestow the title of this week’s drama queen upon you.

      What an a**hole. Poor Tina, this is too much pressure. She has to talk to someone. But who? Of course Bette but will she be strong enough to ease Tina’s fears? An attorney. Someone who definitely has no ties with her father’s clan. Would be time for Joyce, maybe there is a hole in the pre-nup.

      I’m…. running out of words.

    2. And i think it’s Bette who has a biggest problem.

      How can you choose outsider over her own daughter – i don’t understand. Prick. I’m hoping that this Tina’s dad business in future will be ruined.

    3. I think I would see a good lawyer….Good ole Henry maybe out getting himself some on the side especially if Tina has not been putting out for him. So what happens if Henry cheats? And can Tina just lie about cheating until the divorce is done. This pause maybe a good thing. She has been buying all those gifts for Bette – lunches, dress, shoes glamour bridge? All on her credit card. All of that can be traced to Tina’s relationship with Bette. She’s not going to be able to take care of Bette now.

      What mess…what mess.

      Great story….looks like mom and dad know Tina’s secret. That’s a surprise……

    4. Wow that was a twist I knew something was going to happen to put a kink in things.. but damn her dad only loves himself and his image. I would be broke but I would have love so yeah wouldn’t be a hard decision for me. Long as Bette didnt get hurt. Thank you great chapter..

    5. Is Tina working for her father ? I know loosing a family is really hard but it’s her life after all ! Can we

      really compromise our lives for our family’s reputation ? My god those conservatives are so

      loathsome and so hypocrites !
