    Weho Days – part 3 – Collecting Angie

    "We probably would have failed.  At least this way Mother thinks I have an ulterior motive."

    "How fine and dandy.  And what are you going to do now?  You don’t have a job and Peggy has cut you off.  You’ve never worked."

    Helena made a face.  "I’ve seen other people work.  It didn’t look that hard.  Seriously I still have the Peabody name and a shedload of contacts.  Some oil or steel company, probably more than one, will give me a directorship in the expectation that one day I’ll be back in the Peabody fold.  I won’t starve or even have to lift a pen probably."

    "Is that what you want from your life?"

    "No of course not but without the Peabody billions, Shaolin would be just another small struggling studio having to compete with more commercial groups.  I don’t really want to make commercials and kung-foo knockoffs.  That’s what Shaolin used to do."

    "Then use your ‘shedload of contacts’ to raise money for projects that you do want to do.  And maybe you would have to do some commercial work … not every exhibit at the CAC was ‘Provocations’.  We had to do our fair share of ‘Impressions in Winter.’  Even when I was starting as a gallerist…"

    "…seducing artists away from other galleries…"

    "…yes that too thank you Helena…for every artist that I truly believed in there would be five others whom I exhibited simply because they had a name or did stuff I knew would sell.  It was worth it to support those artists whom I loved.  As my gallery became better known I didn’t have to compromise so much."

    Helena smiled tiredly.  "Thanks for the pep talk but it’s too late Bette.  We have already told the staff.  Mother won’t pull back now."

    "It’s your choice but ask her.  I would."

    "I know you would but I’m not you.  Okay we’re here."

    The Mercedes drew up beside a small spanish style apartment block on a tree-lined avenue.

    "Shaolin have a couple of apartments here for company use.  I let Tina use one while her house deal went through.  She’s had to pull out of buying of course."

    "Ouch," said Bette.  Glancing over, Helena saw Bette’s face transform from neutral interest to fearstruck wonder.  Helena turned to follow Bette’s gaze to where she could see Tina emerging from the courtyard carrying Angelica.

    1. I think Henry should be spirited away to work at the bottom of a diamond mine in Azania! BTW, what ever became of your story with the phone calls – is this a continuation? Thanks!

    2. I’m glad Henry was taken away by the undercover cops. He is jerk for saying those things to Tina, Bette and Helena. I do feel bad for Helena. She will be going to the beach and have to witness the strong bond that Bette and Tina still have for each other. They may say hurtful things to each other, but their body language always says they are still connected.

    3. okay…liked it..but not feeling it…have absoltely, positively, unequivocally no sympathy for tina…it’s all about b&h…leave tina at the his-ouse to think about henry…really good chapter to inspire this much emotion. lol…post soon.

    4. This by far the best and most realistic Bette/Helena story. I think Tina deserves to stew in her confusion and be jealous over Bette and Helena’s growing bond. I seriously need more of this wonderful story.

    5. It’s a shame Bette has been reduced to a timid, silent, passive person because she is in constant fear of Tina taking Angelica away. It seems that Tina has all the cards, hopefully she will start to play fair…even though this is their lives and not a game. That was funny, Helena’s security taking Henry away…he deserved it, he was being way out of line. Hopefully the way he was talking about everyone Tina has gotten rid of him for good. Helena can’t be too pushy with Bette or she will push her right back to Tina.

    6. i hope helena keeps that image of bette, angel and tina forever etched in her mind!!! she can’t have them both, I mean Tina and Bette…and Tina is not straight just confused and conflicted over Bette’s betrayal of her with candybabe as would anyone be!!!!

    7. I really liked this chapter, I just don’t liked when Bette invited Tina. She should say NO and stay in her house sad and crying =P And Henry huh? LOL I laughed a lot, he deserved it… Please keep going, and let Bette, Angie, Helena and her children have a good time together…
