Scene, the house, the girls are over on Monday morning helping Bette pack, surprisingly things get done and by 2pm they decide on a pool, pizza and beer break. They know there won’t be opportunities like this again soon. The pizza has arrived and Shane went next door to grab enough beer, Bette is in the pool swimming laps the rest of the girls are lounging and eating pizza.
Alice: Come on Porter be human like the rest of us, feed your face, throwback a cold one and veg out, gosh I’m sore in places I didn’t know I had.
Shane: You know Al, you did more than even I thought you would. You actually deserve this break. They clink beer bottles.
Alice: Well my new girlfriend is an MP, so I’ve learned to shape up and pitch in like never before.
Tasha: Yes you have babe, still not solider standards, but works for me. They kiss.
Bette: Get a room you two!
Alice: Hey, you put some clothes on. You still got it Porter, I give you that.
Shane: Yup, not sure how Tina’s been saying no to that for this long. She really must be switching teams.
Bette: Hey was that supposed to cheer me up? Throws a towel at Shane and the girls laugh.
Alice: So Porter, tell us the story of how you got the Whitney job. I don’t remember you taking an interview trip there.
Bette: Always the reporter huh Al. Bette has settled into a lounger, pizza in hand and beer nearby. Actually it was right after Provocations, when I went to NY to see Helena about funding for the CAC. Eyeroll thinking about that disaster of a meeting. I also had lunch with a head of the museum and one of the board members, a Yale alum and classmate. It was set up to be congratulatory and catching up on the exhibit, you know professional chatter. Well, they actually made an offer to me right then and there. I was taken aback, but I was not in a place to seriously consider the offer. I actually believed I owed the CAC something and I certainly didn’t want to leave Tina, even though we weren’t together and it didn’t look as if we would be.

I don’t know what to say, B&T are killing me. This hurts. Great post
thx for the shout out. tina is really lost!!! wow bring on vegas!! pps.
I agree, Tina is lost. She keeps saying things like Bette only thinks about herself, but this whole thing started because Tina is thinking about herself. They both have to find what makes them happy. Let’s hope that they discover again that it is each other. Thanks!!
Well you did it again Lwsho…that was awesome. I think that Tina is being very defensive because she doesn’t really know what she wants. She may have feelings for men, but inside she really hasn’t let Bette go and she is stunned that Bette has made this decision. She is feeling hurt that Bette could make the decision to leave her and Angelica and she doesn’t want to be the one that is responsible for pushing her into it, so instead she throws the blame onto Bette. It may not be right, but it happens in real life just like that. Bette isn’t right either…she went to the other extreme. My guess is that she will regret her decision in time of leaving her baby. I can’t wait until your next update!
Tina is a small-minded, selfish beotch.
As ever, great denial = terrific conflict and cliff hanger for your devoted readers.
My stars Sho, you’ve got me hanging from the cliff by my fingernails waiting for the cracks to splinter and drop me to my own peril. Glad that Helena told Tina what was going on and also telling Tina about how she caused Bette’s latest actions. Still Tina could not and did not hear what Helena was telling her and still she blames Bette rather than herself. They have both made a terrible mistake and I have a feeling both will pay dearly for their actions. Really hate to see them break up, they are both still in love with each other. They are destined to be together, I just hope they can find forgiveness and find their way back to each other where they belong. Angie needs them both and needs them to be together. So do we. Great update.
Tina doesn’t want to hear some home truths from even someone as non-invested as Helena. Reality will hit soon enough, both when Tina realises Bette’s *really* gone and isn’t coming back, and for Bette when she starts really missing Angie. One thing is certain, I think those two need some time apart. In the meantime, Viva Las Vegas! Thanks for the post.
Great upadate. It’s so sad to see how far apart both Bette and Tina are. And Tina seems to be suddenly on a selfish mode. Sigh!! I hope you’ll sort this out won’t you :) Thank you again!
Maybe I´m biased, but I somehow like the way this story seems to go. Tina needs to take a long hard look at herself. And if they want to save anything between them, they definitely need time apart. Great post.
This is heartbreaking {sniffling in sadness}. Just catching up on reading and happy to come across your story – very well written. Tell granny to take it easy – you’re capturing the voices of the characters and must use such ‘language’ at time for them to remain authentic…{worried now that your granny will come after me for encouraging the occassional curse word and going to hide now!}
I’m really disliking Tina right now! This whole thing started because Tina was thinking about herself and her needs, so how can she say that Bette is only thinking about herself? I think this whole thing is a defense mechanism for Tina because she doesn’t really know what she wants. In time (hopefully not too long) they will both realize pushing each other away was a mistake and find their way back to each other. Great update, even though I’m not happy with the outcome. I’ll stick with you and your wonderful writing! PPS
I’m gonna blame hormones for Tina’s behavior. I think she needs an a-ha moment and then she needs some therapy and then Bette needs an a-ha moment and some therapy too and then they need to get back together once they resolve the crap going on with themselves.
they need to talk and work thing out!
