What is love? – Chapter 20
“I have you for that, Yalie girl,” Alice grinned at Bette.
Bette looked away, unconvinced. “How can you be with someone who truly does not understand you?”
“You just don’t know her,” answered Alice. “She has some great points.”
“I can see her points,” said Bette. “All two of them.”
“But, hot stuff, you must admit they’re great points.”
“OK, you’re right. She is great-looking. But I think you would want to date someone whose IQ was larger than her bust size.”
“Bette, her bust size is pretty great in bed.” Alice’s face was serious. “She’s sweet to me, honest, no games, no drama with her. It’s really pretty good, actually.”
“OK, Al, OK. I’m glad for you.”
===========
“You’re not old,” Tammy repeated herself when Bette didn’t respond.
And so Bette had looked into Tammy’s guileless face and said sincerely, “Thanks, Tammy, thanks.”
=========================
Carolyn worked hard to keep the guests informed and comfortable, guiding people to Bette when she knew that Bette should talk to them. Her husband hovered around the food and wine table trying to look helpful and he was successful. He knew nothing about art but was a personable man whom people liked.
But with all of her work to make the exhibit successful, Carolyn kept an eye on the door. She was so hoping that she would see Tina walk in. As the reception moved on and Tina did not appear, Carolyn became more and more disappointed. When she had seen Alice come in, she had gotten a glimpse of a blond woman with her and she became excited. But when she got a better look, she saw it was not Tina.
===========================
The reception was about thirty minutes from ending when Bette felt a hand on her arm. She started to turn, but Shane stepped up to Bette’s side and smiled. Ordinarily when a friend appeared like this Bette would have put her arm around her and kissed her on the cheek, but she resisted because she knew this made Shane uncomfortable.
“Thanks for coming.” Bette smiled at Shane. “Alice and Tammy might still be here.”
“I brought someone with me.”
Bette was surprised and pleased that Shane had brought a date. That certainly was not her style so Bette was very curious to see the women that Shane had picked. Shane stepped back and put her hand at a woman’s back to ease her forward. Bette offered her hand and it was taken.

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.
How very, very nice and satisfying. On a cold, rainy night in Toronto, this is just what I needed. Thanks.
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!
Another opening of another show…
(Speaking of shows, Where is Flairforthedramatic, BTW? APB, anyone?)
…now, back to the story…
I’m at the part where Bette is recalling the ocean.
Anticipatory tissue break…
WHOOHOO!!!
Great chapter really enjoying your story!!!
“The first time they had met in this gallery, Bette had barely noticed her. This time she heard Rachmaninov playing.”
Melodie in E Major?
Yes finally and this is so beautiful, happy for them. Ok now let see some hot stuff coming please, thanks!
What Is Love?

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.
“Some might have called this voyeurism, but Cupid is allowed…”
Nicely done and very cute!
Beautiful chapter.Finally.Now the fun can begin.

hey missyang i have a song,
im not the sort person who falls in and quickly out of love but u got my attention right from the start.
s1 looking back .
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.
“Tina was everything—like the ocean”…interesting what happens for Bette when she’s not getting in her own way…thoroughly enjoying this journey thanks for the back to back updates
