    What is love? – Chapter 20


    Bette looked in the mirror and decided she looked mighty fine. Her hair was up and she was wearing a gray and black outfit, with flowing pants and a top that came up in a halter around effect around her neck. Her arms, shoulders and back were bare. She put on a jacket, not sure whether she would continue to wear it or go with the bare shoulder look.

    She drove to her gallery with the top up on her convertible sports car. Not a time to muss her hair. Carolyn was there and had talked her husband into coming and he was helping her. Bette greeted them happily and made the last-minute adjustments that people always make—and don’t need.

    The artist arrived with her friends and business manager. Bette greeted all of them and worked to soothe the artist’s nerves. The brochures and other information folders were put out and the first guests arrived.

    Tonight it looked like one of her favorite works was going to be sold. She and the artist stood next to the prospective client and discussed the work. The deal was made, the hands were shaken and Bette and the client and the artist’s manager moved toward Bette’s office to sign a preliminary agreement. Bette smiled to herself because she really hadn’t much liked this work of art at first. Now she was going to miss it. But business was business.

    Several other purchase agreements were signed and there were some “maybes.” All in all it had been a lucrative evening for her and the artist. Perhaps she should treat herself to a short trip somewhere. San Francisco might be fun. It was a beautiful city and the food was great.

    Bette’s vacation thoughts were interrupted when she felt a hand on her bare back.

    “Guess whose back?” quipped Alice.

    “It’s my backand very funny, Al. That’s a really old joke.”

    “And oldie, but goodie, like you.”

    “She’s not old,” protested Tammy giving Bette a sincere and admiring look.

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

     

     

    Bette wondered for the thousandth time why Alice kept seeing Tammy. She was the epitome of a dim bulb.

    “Why do you keep seeing her?” Bette had asked several months ago.

    “Why not?”

    “She’s not too swift, Al. I don’t think she catches any of your witty comments.”

    2. Just perfect. I hope you will also show us, in your lovely way, snippets of B&T experiencing “daily” love and being loved (and I don’t mean sex necessarily. That football chapter was the sweetest thing that I have read recently.) Thanks again.

    3. This opening of the show is giving me flashbacks to the infamous one where they met. The brochures, etc.
      My heart is creeping upwards into my throat. Be still!

      Yes, posting daily is actually healthy for the heart, its right up there with vitamin C, honest… I checked, so dont forget your and your reader’s daily dosage.

    5. missyang, the background music should be “At Last” by Etta James, the original. If you don’t know the words they are: At last, my love has come along. My lonely days are over and life is like a song.” At last the skys above are blue, etc., etc. I’m so happy they have finally connected. Lovely. Pancha love this chapter. Post soon please. Thanks.
