Say Nothing Chapter 10
Bette locked up the gallery for lunch and they made a short walk to a Greek restaurant a couple of blocks away. Once seated and lunch orders taken, Bette quietly asked, not sure what answer she hoped for. “Why did you come Tina?”
“Are you surprised that I’m here.” Tina wasn’t sure how to take Bette’s question.
“Surprised is an understatement. I didn’t expect to see you until a day or two before the exhibit.”
“I was intrigued.” Tina was looking over the top of her water glass as she took a slow sip.
“This visit was merely to see the gallery? Bette’s voice had softened.
“ …. And it’s owner. I wanted to see you.” Tina looked down as she returned her glass to the table top.
Bette couldn’t help but question her. “Tina, it wasn’t supposed to mean anything. It was a beautiful night. I had a wonderful time and I think you did too.”
“I .. had .. a wonderful time.” Tina’s eyes were locked in a gaze with Bette.
“I came to Paris to persuade you to show your work in my gallery. I never expected what happened to happen.”
“Nor did I, believe me, I wasn’t expecting anything” Tina ran her finger around the lip of her glass.
“We live a half a world apart and our lives are worlds apart. What do you want out of this?” Bette was so absolutely shocked by Tina’s revelation she hadn’t really had time to process it.
“When I originally planned to come to L.A., I wanted to see your gallery. But … … after …… well … I wanted to see what, if anything there might be to this. Obviously I was wrong about that part of my visit. Let’s talk about the exhibit.” Tina could not wait to change the subject. She had not intended to broach the subject over a quick lunch. Bette segued into conversation about the gallery, lighting and wall color to suit the art that would adorn it’s walls. The discourse became much more relaxed as Tina and Bette fell into a less formal conversation. They ended up talking about a myriad of things and they began to seem like old friends who hadn’t seen each other in years.

I think Bette’s a goner, she just doesn’t know it yet. Thanks for another delightful chapter.
What a great chapter! I loved it. More please, as soon as you can.
I love this impromptu visit from Tina. I believe that Tina is going after Bette and Bette does not stand a chance of escaping with her heart. That organ already belongs to Tina only neither one knows it yet.
I’m sorry I haven’t commented before, though I have been a delighted reader from the very start. I am thrilled whenever I see a that a new chapter has posted. Tina pursuing a reluctant Bette is so much fun. I can’t wait for more.
I love love love this Tina. Bette doesn’t seems to know it yet but Ms.Kennard is in her heart already Tina just didn’t come that many miles to look at a gallery, but the beautiful owner. How get get up in the morning to another post from you thanks
wonderful chapter! i like the pace you’ve set so far! pps!
I am so loving this!!! Come on now Bette wake up and see that Tina came all that way to spend time with you. Thanks Great Chapter!!! PPS
As many here have noted, I am thoroughly enjoying the reluctant Bette being pursued by the persistent Tina. Thanks!
HA, Bette has no idea what she’s in for. It seems our Ms. Kenard has plans for her and Bette doesn’t know it yet, but she will go along with them. It fun to see Bette thrown a bit off guard.
Oh Bette, you have fallen so hard you dont even know it yet, and Tina has her beady little eyes set on you. Dont argue, dont fight, dont resist, just enjoy and fall into committment, and let it take its natural course.
These two just don’t know what they are in for. I am totally enjoying how this is playing out. pps
Oh DJRK, you just made us laugh, when we think that Tina has an ace under her sleeve and Bette is just playing deaf to what her senses are telling her. But, she also doesn’t want Tina to think she slept with her to accomplish the exhibit. In the end, Bette would not understand when she started falling for this amazing artist. Hmmm You are doing a terrific job DJRK. We are more than eager for your next chappy. PPS Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks. Lucero & Marsha (JC’s Salsa Aunties)
I feel soooo bad for Bette having this Big Bad beautiful Sexy intelligent “She Wolf” chasing after her …lmao … PPS
That was great!
Silly, silly Bette… what would make her think she could or want to resist the sexy Miss Kennard?? Not that I’m wishing her a stomach ache, but the weekend in bed sounds lovely.
Bette being as smart as she is, sure is clueless when it comes to women. You would think that a player would learn to read the signs. Come on Bette, Tina is waiting. Great story! PPVS
Well, I must confess, I am reading about 7-9 fanfics at the moment, but your story is definitely my favourite. I love slow pace. And I am intrigued.

Love this story. Bette needs to invite Tina to stay at her house and enjoy her pool and garden. Please give us another update soon.
Love the journey youre taking us on with this story! I really enjoy “your” tina – she will get bette where she wants her to be: by her side, in her life and in her bed hopefully very soon again. All this flirting has to have some effect on bette – she is only human afterall…..;) Thanks for posting so frequently! It`s very much appreciated!:)
I find it amazing that, with this being Tina Bette did’nt jump at the chance for more of a relationship with her.
your story is fantastic, looking forward to the next chapters
Easy does it huh? LOL Man, Bette needs to read the signs…if she doesn’t wanna be with T..well, I’m sure there will be a very long line behind me. Great chapter! PPS
