What is love? – Chapter 9
“Hi, baby,” Tina answered.
Hmmm, Carolyn thought, their relationship is already to the sweet nickname stage. She really hoped this worked for Bette because the maternal instinct in her wanted Bette to settle down with someone who could make her happy. It still unnerved Carolyn to think about the unending stream of beautiful women who came in and out of this gallery just to see Bette. She should find one woman, the woman–and Tina might be it.
They kissed softly and Tina explained that she had brought dinner. Bette was delighted . Then she turned to Carolyn.
“This is Tina,” Bette said unnecessarily to Carolyn.
“Tina and I introduced ourselves and had a good visit while you were still in conference.”
Tina said goodbye to Carolyn and walked toward Bette’s office.
“Bette,” Carolyn said. “She seems like a wonderful woman.” Bette smiled an I’m-in -love smile.
“It’s time you fell in love,” Carolyn concluded.
She was reaching for her purse, but she did notice that Bette’s face changed rapidly–to what? Surprise? Denial, Carolyn decided. She left the gallery wondering if Bette had the good sense to recognize her feelings and begin – what did they call it — a committed relationship?
As Bette walked toward her office, she wondered why everybody seemed to think she was in love with Tina. Was it a conspiracy? No. Not possible. They didn’t even know each other. She needed to talk to Kit, her sister. Kit was back in town and didn’t seem to be drinking. Bette would talk with her as soon as possible.
The Gallery – about two weeks later
“Hi Carolyn,” called Alice as she breezed by her office on the way to see Bette.
“Hi, Alice.” responded Carolyn calmly. The first few times Alice did this, Carolyn tried to announce Alice to Bette as any good assistant would do. But she was never fast enough and Bette didn’t seem to mind having Alice barge in.
“Hot stuff! You are going to have to get your bare ***** out of bed this weekend, actually put on some clothes and come to Milk. Seven o’clock. This Saturday.”
“Al.”
“I mean it. You and Tina. We’ll be expecting you.”
“Al.”
“If you don’t show up, we’ll be over at your house to treat you to a shivaree. We’ll have horns, drums, and be banging pots and pans so much that you will be too rattled to bang Tina.”
“Al!”
Alice knew it was time to retreat because Bette’s voice was growing sharper and she was beginning to grind her teeth.
Alice stopped at Bette’s door and turned.
“Seven o’clock. Oh, and make sure that Tina knows she’s supposed to wear clothes, too. She may not know that you two actually do things together dressed.”
As Bette started to rise from her chair, Alice fled.
“Bye, Carolyn.”
“Bye, Alice.”

im glad al put it to her. and carolyn did it also. cant imagine what kit said, hope it was the same kinda stuff.
but hilarous the al bit. “oh and make sure that tina knows shes supposed to wear clothers, too. she may not know that you two actually do things together dresses.”
thanks to you i may be able to get thru and huge family dinner with all the family drama.
I am sure at least 75% of your readers have no idea what a shiveree is; you must also come from a small town
great chapter, still love this story. Keep up the good writing!
Bette’s panic is very rational. From a playgirl to a commited partner, we need this. Thanks for the new chapter. Please do go on.
a silent reader here, just wanna say that i enjoyed all the previous chapters as much as this one..
Thank you.
Good chapter. Well Bette need to figure out the feeling she have for Tina and let see what’s next!
Thanks for the great chapter, I was sitting here laughing, wondering if Tina was still in Bette’s Office and overhead Alice. This will be great if she was, I want to see how she reacts and how Bette reacts to Tina’s reaction
This chapter was funny from start to finish; look forward to the next one.
To cute to words Thanks! By the way wants means shivaree.
that was great love and laughs. I hope Bette gets it soon but I do believe you may have drama before then.
I just finished reading all of the previous chapters and I just wanted to tell you that I am loving this story!! I wonder what Alice barged in on?? Anyway, keep up the good work!!
I just got caught on your story pancha and I like it a lot. This is a nice and new approach with the hesitant Bette. I hope that Kit is also encouraging, please continue.
Got to love Alice. Bette better pay attention before she loses Tina. Than again, you wouldn’t let that happen ;-)
