Pretty Women, episode 14B
She felt the feet that lead her halt, and quickly opened her eyes, only to find a stern redheaded woman taking her in thoughtfully… Tina felt her breathing halt in short fear of judgement, but then her eyes caught vivid green ones, and she saw something in there that gained her respect and liking… The wrinkles that surrounded the fierce green suggested a certain wisdom that went beyond years, and as the woman turned to take Bette’s extended hand, Tina suddenly was aware of the change that had taken place in the brunette…
Glancing aside she noticed that every glimpse of vulnurability she had caught in the gorgeous brunette had left her… She stared back into the intimidating eyes, that had changed slightly, and the blonde felt as if a cold breeze was exchanged between the two women…
Mrs Peabody…
Bette smiled as she stated the other womans name, but the smile did not extend to her eyes, which continued in battle with those of the older woman…
Ms Porter…
The redheaded woman glanced beside her, where a beautifull brunette approached determently, her fierce blue eyes were in stunning contrast to her dark hair, and Tina felt how she momentarily was amused by and aware of this, as the eyes met hers, to momentarily hold them in their grasp.
This is my daughter, Helena…
Helena Peabody shortly shook Bette’s hand, glancing expectantly at the pretty blonde next to her, intrigued by the warmth that seemed so contradictive to the gallery-owners coldness.
Tina felt how Bette’s muscles tightened, and from the corner of her eye noticed the clenching of her jaw… Surprised by the fact how well she could read the brunettes signals she smiled, and took Helena’s outstreched hand as Bette introduced her:
I hope you don’t mind me taking the liberty of bringing along this enchanting lady… Tina Kennard, Helena and Peggy Peabody.
Helena kept the blondes soft hand slightly longer in her own then necessary, a fact that didnt go unnoticed by Bette… Instantly, she felt a roar of dislike for the other brunette wave through her… A fact that highly surprised her, for in business, Bette Porter was known for her ability to be heartless. She did not feel any emotions while working on a job, something the likes of Helena Peabody wouldn’t be able to change…

Dear friend, dear friend… I’m so touched by your words, really I am. I didn’t read these pages yet, but I had to thank you for bringing such a beautiful ray of sunshine on this particular day I really needed one. Now, I will slowly savouring this chapter… Talk with you soon, dearest M. ! *hugs* – A.
Ok u know I love this story its great, love that your back, BUT IT IS NOT BOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was a edge of the seat one for sure. I can only hope that Bette will break down once she is alone with tina…very powerful chapter!!
Oh… My… God… J, you’ve outdone yourself with this chapter! That was just brillant! So powerful and intense. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole journey! But with just the right amount of tension, humor and tenderness… Let me tell you the thing that amazed me the most with this chapter (well, one of the things!)… What were the realistic chances to write this chapter being as true to the characters (and by that I mean those from the show) as to the original movie?…. Not many indeed. Well, you did it, my dear! I was just stunned by how well thought the whole thing was… Everyone was being just who they are, and you still have an almost alike scene from the original movie. You are so talented!!! And of course, I love how you relate each event to the B&T’s interaction and relationship… Very beautifully written. As for the French references… Thanks to Therese Belivet for helping you out on this one, cause the result is awesome… One Bette Porter speaking French is definitely a must-read!!! Poor Tina, the fancy restaurant, food and company were probably nothing compared to the turmoil she must have felt when hearing “sa belle”. J, you have to update this very soon… Please. I’m so looking forward to the continuation of this, you’ve kept us hanging to the last word of this chapter… I know I’m being slightly unfaithful to BOF, but this is getting so very good and perfect!!! You are such a good writer! Thank you.
So glad to see this story back… PPS
My dear yound friend, so glad to see you had posted. It was so close to seeing the movie while reading your words. Hope to see more of your post. thanks so much
“Slippery little suckers…” I love that!! You’ve made my day with this one hun! Shame when I got to the last page and had to start all over again ;) Per usual, can’t wait for the next “fix”.. i mean chapter ;)
Your are forgiven because of this beautifully written chapter!! It was just awesome. Hope for a another post before 2008 : )! I just love the Bette and Tina connection. It so lovely and touching. Wonderful job!!! PPS!
I’m so glad to see you and this story back. This chapter was amazing and I can’t wait for the next!
So happy to see your update. Loved this chapter and the way you are adapting the story. The emotional actions and reactions between the four ladies and how each affected the other was just perfect. Look forward to seeing the play for Tina between Bette and Helena. Peggy is as charming as ever.
Brilliant use of Peggy and the art world and Helena, just brilliant. More and more and more please.
Wow, this was incredibly brilliant. Please, post again SOON!!!!!!!
nice move with the peabody ladies…great to ses this story back
Oh how I hope you update this soon! This was an awesome chapter – this story just keeps getting better and better. Your writing is exquisite. I think Bette has a few fences to mend…and one very large wall that need to come down. She really needs to let her defenses down when she and Tina are alone. I think Tina may have some insight as to how to fix all of Bette’s problems; and Bette can for sure help Tina with hers. Please post soon JLB&T! My prayers are being sent for everyone in Tabasco, Mexico.
Hey girl, I am glad to have read this chapter. I keep waiting to see if you have updated and I was happy to read it once I finally was able to read it. Keep it up because I can’t wait to see if or how Tina approaches Bette about her mother’s work.
