Do you want to Bette? You Bette Your Sweet Little…All Bette’s Are Off (FEB Fan Fic Challenge) Ch. 3
TWO WEEKS LATER…
Alice walks up the walkway to the front doors of the CAC. Out comes Tina, a beautiful blond woman.
Alice: Tina right?
Tina: Yeah. Um?
Alice: Alice. We met at the artist dinner. Bette Porter.
Tina: Oh yeah. I just had to come and pick up my earring from her.
Alice: Are you okay? You look flushed.
Tina: Do I? (self-consciously touching her face) I don’t know. I don’t know why. Uh…
Alice: Are you going to be okay?
Tina: Yeah. I, um…I just, I think I need time to think.
Alice: Well, maybe I’ll see you around. I hope you feel better.
Tina: Thanks. I’m fine, I think.
Alice: Alright, I’ll see you alter. Bye.
Tina: (as she’s walking off) Bye.
Alice walks up to the receptionist’s desk.
Receptionist: You’re here for Bette Porter, right? (under her breath) Interesting.
Alice: (under her breath) What’s so interesting about that?
The receptionist pages James.
Receptionist: No, Tina just left. Was she okay? Okay. Well Alice is here for Bette.
Receptionist: (to Alice) James will be out in a second.
James: Hey Alice. Bette is on an important phone call from NY and after that, she’s booked with meetings.
Alice: Huh? That’s funny because she told me that she didn’t have much to do today.
James: Yeah, see, um, she found out this morning about a potential partnership with some gallery in NY.
Alice: Mm Hmm. I see. I see.
Alice darts past James, who tries to catch up with her and slow her down.
James: Wait! Wait!
Alice barges into Bette’s office. Bette is sitting on the edge of her desk staring at the painting on the wall. James comes in behind Alice.
James: I’m sorry. I told her you were on an important phone call. She came back anyway.
Bette: (calmly) It’s fine, James. The call was shorter than I’d expected.
Alice: (confused and annoyed) What’s up Bette? I thought we were going to have lunch today.
Bette: I’m sorry. I lost track of time.
Alice: I saw Tina on my way in. She was a nervous wreck. Is everything okay?
Bette: Did you talk to her?
Alice: Yeah, we talked.
Bette: What did she say?
Alice: Not much. She said she needed time to think. Did she break up with her boyfriend or something?
