Six months had passed since Peter’s birthday, and Bette was opening her mail. She saw what looked like an invitation, and indeed it was.
"You are cordially invited to the Engagement Party of Peter Bradford and Tina Kennard," it read.
Bette rolled her eyes. She was well aware of the engagement. Everyone in the office was. She had easily managed to spend the last six months visiting out of state galleries in search of new clients, and effectively avoiding Peter and any talk of Tina as well. She didn’t know why it had hit her as hard as it had, but she knew she needed to get away for a bit. It was a rough introduction to the world of dating, was her conclusion, and she just needed time to analyze life at this point. She questioned whether or not she should attend, not making any decision right away, and placing the invitation on the table as she walked away.
"I hope you plan on going to this," Alice remarked as she saw the invite.
"Probably not."
"Fuck that! You better go. You introduced them!" exclaimed Alice. "I have an idea," a mischievous smile registered on her face.
Bette laughed loudly, "That would be awful of us. But I would almost be ok with it."
"Guess I’m going dress shopping tomorrow!"

Bette and Alice arrived at the catering hall a couple of minutes late.
"Are you nervous?"
"I am. But I’m glad you made me come," was all Bette could say.
As they were walking in, Bette caught sight of Tina talking to a crowd of women, showing them her ring. She looked so beautiful. Her hair had since grown and was down in loose curls that almost looked as though she had woken up from a graceful sleep. She wore a light white summer dress with sandals that made her legs look long and tempting. Her makeup was light, but her eyes stood out in the summer weather like never before. As if she had sensed Bette walking in, she looked and made direct eye contact with the brunette. The women around her continued talking, but Tina had lost sense of the conversation. She felt her stomach turn and her face heat up at the sight of such a beautiful woman. Bette had worn a pair of dark linen pants and a linen button down that left what was underneath very easy to imagine. It was not until Alice nudged her that Bette broke the eye contact and was brought back to reality.

Hmm. Well, it’s not Peter’s fault that Tina doesn’t know what she wants in life, and Bette made her intentions clear. Tina’d better figure it out sooner rather than later and stop playing with everyone’s hearts… including her own. Thanks for posting. :)
Tina needs to figure out what she wants and soon before she walks down the aisle.
Tina needs to shape up
Tina needs to grow a backbone.
Willing to take advice as to the direction you’d like to see this going in! – just don’t make Tina a total wimp (think how different Tina would be if IFC hadn’t divorced -her- Tina…)
Sometimes in life we are afraid of hurting others and in that process we only ending up hurting ourselves more. For potentially we can not live through someone elses happiness. It only makes us more miserable. I hope Tina tells Peter the truth before it is too late and Bette is gone and no longer interested because of the hurt she had to initially forego to get Tina to be honest with her and herself. Can’t wait for more.
Great chapter. Tina needs to call a halt to this engagement, and stop playing with them she doesn’t want to marry peter, she wants Bette period. As for telling you about your story, just let your characters lead you they will tell you where they want to go. No matter how you try to ignore them and write what you want, they will not let you ignore them, you will write what they are telling you. Its not hard, try it. The bottom line, they want to be together and Tina thinks she needs to be, for want of a better word, in a “normal relationship,” because she is uncertain of what others will say. Thanks for posting.
Oh wow, loads of drama… I feel bad for Bette, she puts her self out there twice now and both times knocked downt by Tina :( …Hope the next chapter has Tina making up her mind,I’m even feeling bad for Peter.
This is going to get messy, Tina should have never let it get this far…….with Peter and Bette being good friends thats going to be hard great update thanks pps
Excellent update. Thank you
Honestly, I don’t want this Tina anywhere near Bette. What an idiot – got pissed off because Bette was with a friend while she herself is happily dating/sleeping with a guy? And what the hell does she want from Bette now when she just said she loved him? Huh? Let her marry the dude and give Bette a normal gf, or bring back Jodi.
I HAVE to have more! This is getting good! Tina can’t expect for Bette to wait by while she makes up her mind (even though I bet Bette would). She deserves better than what this Tina is doing to her. Thanks for posting.
Wrong decision Tina.Thank you for the update.PPS
Tina needs to get her head out of her ass and do what is right, she is jerking Peter around as well as Bette. PPS
Wow, that is one wicked game Tina is playing. Granted she’s confused but she can’t keep playing with Bette and Peters hearts in this way. On the other hand if Tina would just sleep with Bette already I don’t think she’d have a single doubt left about who she wants to be with (lol) great update, post soon.
Arrga come on Tina just dump Peter and be with Bette already, damn it. Please post more, thanks!
