“You’re not going to tell me what this is all about are you?” Bette asks.
“Nope it’s no problem at all. We’ll see you in about a half an hour.”
With that Shane hangs the phone up and looks at Angelica. “Well you are in luck. Bette’s still got the job and she’s free. You want to head over that way. I’ll take you.” Shane offers.
“I don’t know really. Frankie and I were going to skate a little she said she would be here around noon.” Angelica begins.
“Not a problem Frankie trusts me. I’ll just leave word for her that you’re with me. Don’t worry it will be fine. I’m trust worthy.” Shane says smiling again.
“But I’m not sure what I’m going to be doing?” Angelica begins to protest.
“Well it never hurts to make a few bucks while you’re making up your mind. Come on she won’t bite and at the very least you can check out her gallery.” Shane reasons. She knows she is pushing but feels it is worth it.
Angelica is fascinated by the idea of the gallery. “Well I guess it wouldn’t hurt to check it out.”

Tina woke early to a splitting headache. She had cried herself out and now in the light of day things didn’t look much better. Getting up she started the little coffee maker in her room thinking caffeine would help. Wondering around her room she picks up her cell noticing she has 23 missed calls. Making a choice she sets her phone down opting to take a hot shower to wash away any of the lingering effects of the previous nights bout of emotions.
Tina feels a little bolstered when she emerges from the bathroom the hot water and vigorous scrubbing putting her in a better frame of mind. Pouring herself some coffee Tina once again picks up her cell phone with the intent of plowing through her messages.
She realizes she’s never ignored her work enough before to even come close to having this many voicemails pile up. Maybe that should change. The first ten were all work related. The filming in Vancouver was having issues. Normally she would stop listening mid-message and instead opt to return the call directly to the source. This way she could deal with problems head on instead of having them linger but today she had a certain detachment.

Hello JWet, Thank you for another great post. The moment is neigh as Bette and Angelica finally meet. All this and Tina is on her way to LA. I can almost picture the scene as Tina stumbles across the Gallery and knows it is Bette’s before seeing her name on the side. This has built up perfectly and now all I want to do is lie back and enjoy the show. Please continue this masterpiece so. From a very grateful and Loyal Fan.
Jwet, why did you stop there??? I can’t wait to see what Bette has to say when she figures out that she is face to face with her daughter. How will Tina feel about that??? Anyways, I can’t wait for the new chapter!!! PPS!
I can’t believe you ended it there !!! Please post soon. This story is riveting!
WOW!!!JWet!!! I just caught up. Can not beleave you stopped there. I can not wait to see Tina face when she finds out who Angie is with. Thanks PPVS
AH, I just CANNOT believe u stopped there, Great chapter. Please Please Post very soon:) Thanks
Dear! You have guts for stopping right here! :) Great chapter! thanks!
AGH! That is just plain cruel!
Wow…I understand completely about how an imagined scene can be the pivotal moment that turns into a complete story and I can certainly see how that phone call between them could elicit your creativity. When they come to me, usually just before I am falling asleep, I call them ‘sparks.’ It’s how all of my stories begin in my head: just one moment that captures the essence of where I want to go with the writing. With Chiaroscuro is was always the vision of Bette showing Tina the two canvases by torchlight. I can’t wait for your next chapter. Your writing has always captured me. Thanks for sharing. Lin
Love this just love it!!! Of course your pacing is building up perfectly even if it is excruciating to wait for the recognition.
Jwet….that’s just not right leaving us hanging there…you’re killing me. I love this story…please don’t let Bette pass out or anything. I only hope when Tina finally finds Angie she’ll be able to talk to her and Bette and maybe…just maybe mend some fenses.
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg….you just can’t stop there!!!! omomg pls post soon!!!! Bette is gonna faint, if shane recognized Angelica then bette will just die.
oh that was bad, bad bad. you best be posting soon. this is a nail biter. cant wait, and hopefully i wont have to wait long. thanks.
PPS!
Jwet, Jwet, I never took you for such a tease!! Just cannot believe you stopped there. The phone conversation was great and was a perfect set-up for Bette meeting Angelica.
Dammit! You can’t stop there! The phone conversation was hilarious and very witty. Hope Bette and Angelica have more time to get to know each other. PPS.
WHAT! OMG……you can’t just stop there……well I guess you did, didn’t you! Please don’t leave us waiting too long.
OMG, you did not stop there. Shoot and I’m going out of town and won’t be able to check for a while. Please, have Bette figure out who she is, and contact Tina.
your killing me, i wait for this daily. Please post tomorrow. Thanks
I can’t believe that you stopped there. Angelica is definitely her mothers’ daughter. She has an eye for art as her mocha skinned mother and the soul of her birth mother. What a great combination. Now, hope Bette’s heart will not give out on her as she gets the first good look at her daughter.
That my dear friend is what we call a TRUE cliffhanger!! You see, in order for it to be true, you have to have a really good story. A story where the readers really care about what is going to happen next. If you just write a dramatic scene without a good story to back it up, you won’t get the reaction you desire. And you JWET, are wonderful at writing stories that pull us in, and make us care about what happens next…hense, this reaction to your cliffhanger. Every author on this site can learn from you! Well done!!
I’m just gonna lie back and wait for this drama to unfold. Great story, but can we get another update and longer, Jwet??? LOL
i can’t believe you stopped here…you better post really really really really soon
Nice effect, Jwet!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I’m just now catching up and am loving how this story is going.
Kinda sounds like Bette recognizes something in the kid’s face. And you’re a tease.
Oh I knew you would leave us on a cliffie! Wow this is good, I need a new post now, in fact I need to look! Let’s hope my prayers are answered! Thanks for the post!
I saw this yesterday and I was at work and could not comment. I suppose Shane realized who Angelica is or did Angelica tell her. At any rate having the two of them meet is a great idea and of course, we get Tina into the picture next. As sson as you can please post, I want to see Bette’s reaction to Angelica and hopefully shse recognizeds also who shse is. Please hurry. Great chapter. PPS
Talk about leaving us hanging by a thread. : ) Loved it and can’t wait for more!
Ok I’m finally caught up and this is how you leave it? *pouts* Please post soon!
Jwet, Jwet,Jwet, I have been catching up on my reading the last few days and just finished the last several chapters, most of the time I can stand to wait as I know I cheated reading several at once, I know it’s a few days since you posted but now I’m going to have to put other things off because I just going to sit here and wait for you to post again. I really hope it sooner than later, Great Story. Thank you, Md
i love all your stories, love this also-pleassssssse post soon
well, well, well, have Tina been a good mom? Would having Bette made both better parents? There are so many “what ifs”, but as usual, we have to face the “this happened” what do we do going forward. Needless to say, this is a great story, I love the pace (not the cliffhangers…no, it’s not you to do that to us!!), can’t wait to see the reunion between Tina and Bette, and Tina with the rest of the family. Thank you; hope you post another soon. You know I’m not beneath begging! Aloha!
OMG This is so awesome!
Well, that was an interesting conversation. Now, I wonder when did Shane figure out who Angelica is; since Bette saw Shane at breakfast. So, something must have happened the night before, and between breakfast and the phone call….interesting, very interesting. So, if pretty comments gets us a post one day earlier, what does it take to get a post, tomorrow? Ha, ha. Happy Halloween! Thanks for making me so happy with your wonderful story.
Jwet, I’m happy you posted early and upset about where you stopped. How about posting early again? Can’t wait for the next magnificent chapter. Take care of yourself.
Woohoo! Wow Jwet! But how could you, how could you stop there? Great update and Shane’s convo with Bette was superb! Please please post soon! :) Thanks
oh no U didn’t just do that!!!!meanie…i had 2 go backwards to read the previous chapter; don’t know how i missed it. Great story pps. Thx for liking MELTDOWN, I have been so remiss. Will get to another update by week’s end but u gotta post sooner, i have to see Bette’s reaction…did Bette know about this child; and oh i forgot where Tina and Ange live..is it NY
you are killing us !!!! This was a great chapter although I feel like you pushed it… Not a lot of dialogues and maybe a bit too much of description. I don’t know, I’m still happy that we are moving on though, it’s great!!! What will be Tina’s next move? And how Bette will react towards Angelica !! I’m excited!
