    Author Notes:

    Bette thinks about a new exhibit(mostly)and Tina thinks about Bette.

    ================================

     

    Alice

    As Bette walked back to her office she thought that she had missed not seeing much of Alice the last few weeks. Their work had been keeping both very busy. Alice always provided a humorous but caring view of Bette’s world.

    “Does this artist produce that crazy-looking stuff?” Alice had asked a few days ago about the upcoming exhibit.

    “What do you mean?” Bette was fairly sure she knew what Alice meant but it was always entertaining to let her play out her opinion. And Bette needed amusing things in her life right now.

    “You know, sculptures that look like Mr. Potato Head and paintings that look as though they were done by some sadomasochist who’s escaped from his strait-jacket and has swiped a box of crayolas. One of those really, large boxes.

    “You have something against sadomasochists?” Bette asked while taking another bite of salad.

    “Of course not. Some of my best friends are sadomasochists.”

    ===========================

     

    Tina

    When Tina picked up the mail several days later, she began sorting it as usual. One pile consisted of periodicals she wanted to read and letters to open. Another pile consisted of bills. And the final pile went to the trash.

    When she saw the envelope from the Bette Porter Gallery, she frowned. But on closer inspection she remembered that Bette was having this artist’s special exhibit. She wondered why her name was still on the invitation list. She dropped it on the trash pile.

    ==============================

    Tina’s heart: I’m still feeling worried and anxious.

    Tina’s mind : You shouldn’t be anxious because you don’t have to worry about Bette’s breaking up with you

    ===============================

    Tina’s heart: I cry every day. Where do you live?

    Tina’s mind: You will get over that in time.

    ================================

    Tina’s heart: Don’t you remember what Alice told me?

    “Cut her some slack,” Alice counseled. “It will eventually dawn on her that she loves you. She’s abig, beautiful fish that you’ve hooked. You can’t just reel her in right away. You have to let her run with the line. But don’t let go.”

    Alice was again pleased with her fishing imagery. She thought, not for the first time, that she really was going to have to think of how to use it some way in an article in LA Magazine.

    1. Tina should not go back until Betty truly knows, tells, and can show Tina how much she loves and appericate her physically and emotionally. KEEP HER STRONG AND SANE.

    2. i am with Tinas mind..she cant run after Bette cuz Bette didnt know what she want..and get back to her is only be hurt twice..Bette need to suffer..be brave soldier Tina..lol..great chappy thanks :o)

    3. ahhh… my favorite characters in the story (besides B and T of course)… is tina’s mind and heart! heh. Speaking of baseball, and since you mentioned chicago, I am from Houston, soooo GO ASTROS!
      Still waiting patiently for you to update faster and make the chapters longer…. pretty please? with cherry on top?

    6. That’s it, Tina! Follow Alice’s fishing theory — give Bette some sugarplum (does fish like sugarplum? whatever, you know what I mean, do you?), then hook her up tightly, hahahaha…

      Shane is definitely a logician. Her technique on inference is extraordinary.

      If I’m going with the flow, I hope you’re not Yolenda type, coz it seems she doesn’t like people who 100% agree with her, like me to you. =P

    7. wonderful chappy. can feel the confusion of these two. who is gonna make the first move??? someone has to do something. love how you are writing this. love shane. well, actually all of them. its great how they are all telling tina the same thing. thanks.

    8. tina forget about the heart and the mind right know because they are confusing the hell out of u. if bette is what u want go get her.
      JFreez im from chicago and think the
      White Sox are so boring that i dont care who wins.

    10. If Tina capitulates and returns to Bette, what has changed? Of course, Shane is Yoda. She knows all. Going back to Bette is probably going to align all the stars in the cosmos and reorder the planets’ orbits around the sun and render all to be right with the world of Weho.

      I’m from a place goegraphically between Houston and Chicago. I think a ‘Stros-WSox Series will be boring as hell, but I am glad for The Rocket. I’m sure the TV network execs are about to cut their own throats, as we have no Yankees or Red Sox in the classic.

      Love this story. I’m coming around to admitting it. Is it cheating if I read other stories? Thanks!

    11. Before it gets started, don’t any of you brand me as a Yankees or Red Sox lover.

      I don’t watch baseball because they make too much money. Same for the NBA. Plus, they’re both boring games.

      Okay then…

    12. caught up and loved the chapters. I adore how you are writing the battle between heart and mind. It has happened to all of us. Something has got to give soon…..thanks! post soon

    15. This story, that I was initially following only cursorily, has somehow crept up to become my most favorite story currently. I particulalry appreciate your writing style – important details are revealed in this seemingly off-hand manner; in fact, there aren’t any big revelations at all but all the nuances put together make for an intense portrayal of emotions. I can’t explain it, but I love your style of telling this story.

      And those little details – padding about in stocking feet and rushing to don the high heels when someone comes in – are captured so well. Many thanks. I have added you to my list of fav authors.

    16. I love the TEXAS RANGERS, didn’t miss one game. Glad that Houston is in the playoffs. Its a game of chance. Tina should go to the opening, She can take someone if she care to do so. Bette is stubborn, she needs to tell Tina how she feels/ Needs to learn to say I LOVE YOU TINA KENNARD. thanks
