Wanna Date? Chapter 16
16
Bette was on the phone again, as James entered the office cautiously.
No, Mr Phillips, I said today Yes the 23rd... Thats what you agreed to Well thats your concern not mine Listen, I have one week until the show opens, and I need the rest of those lights in place today so I can position the art work Mr Phillips, I am staring at the contract right now, and I do hope I wont have to invoke the penalty clauseYes thats right So they will be here this afternoon? That is perfectly acceptable, thank you.
James noted the look of relief, as he approached. In many ways this was a totally ***** job. The pay was average, the stress levels were horrendous, and Bette Porter could be a ***** on wheels. On the other hand, she was the most dynamic and brilliant boss he had ever had. And she looked damn gorgeous when she was angry, which with Bette Porter was quite a lot of the time.
She had been in a much better mood over the past few weeks, and James was perfectly well aware of the reason for that. He was almost as happy for Bette and Tina as their friends, in fact, probably more so. Bette had been so despondent, and moody over the past few months without Tina to keep her grounded, and the arrival of Helena Peabody and Leo Herrera had definitely cranked the tension levels.
Yet here sat Bette, one week before the biggest show in ages, looking almost mellow. In other times, that electrical contractor would have been subjected to a far more angry reminder of his contractual duties, involving threats of new orifices. Bette had been very calm and reasonable.
James decided that it was quite scary actually.
OK James, where are we at? She asked almost pleasantly.
Well, the brochures have just arrived and I’m just about to double check them, Alexander McAvoy from Arts Monthly magazine called about an interview, Kit rang to ask you to lunch and Marie is working with Ms Barnes right now in the north gallery.
Set up an interview for tomorrow or Friday with McAvoy, James, Bette said shuffling through the papers in front of her, Hes an *****, but Id better speak to him. Did Annie get back to you about the canaps?

So sweet…it would have been really nice to see it in S2. They should have extended the season and consulted you for ideas!!
I hope it’s not too far out of reach either

nice chapter. hope Tina comes home soon please post soon
Wonderful as Always WOW! I Love it that was really sweet Story I hope they back each other Please post soon and Thanks.
I agree with btownjuli…it would have been nice to see this in S2. They never really did bring them back together with any real satisfaction…I can’t help to think…when Dan Foxworthy asked Bette if she wanted to get back together, she said I don’t know…that was the last she said of that, then when Tina said she wanted to move back home, she said nothing…I think they really did a terrible job with the reunionification….
Excellent chapter, cogent! I love how you tell your stories. :)
Good chapter. They are so cute and sweet. Post soon, thanks!
“Yes, sonograms were a very sexy thing” LOL
