Just The Girl 2.0 – Chapter Eight (based loosely on HYD: Returns)
“Elizabeth?” Melvin looked at his daughter. After the third call, he tapped her foot lightly underneath the table. That got her out of her daze.
“Yes Daddy?” Bette turned to her father, averting her eyes from where they were transfixed for a few minutes now – on William’s dull yellow teeth. Jesus, it was like he brushed them with mustard! She found herself entranced by their dinner host for this evening – but not really in a good way. William had a nasty way of wheezing and coughing after every infectious, though slightly obnoxious, laugh – something Bette attributed to all the cigars he seemed to chain smoke. His breath smells like an ashtray too. And every time he leaned in to talk to her, she could feel her face turning blue from holding her breath. Sitting with him and her father while they discussed business and other trivial things over dinner was a learning experience for the young heiress. From time to time, she would often give her two cents when asked for her opinion, but she mostly kept to herself – preferring instead to listen and observe. Well.. during one of those moments of observation, she found herself observing too much. As her father pointed out..
“It’s impolite to stare.” Melvin reprimanded his daughter in a low voice, hiding his words behind the guise of wiping his mouth with a table napkin.
“Sorry..” Bette mumbled apologetically, pulling herself together. Presence of mind Porter, she reminded herself.
“You know young lady,” William glanced at Bette as he chewed on a mouthful of steak. “I remember you were just this big when I last saw you.” He lifted his hand to demonstrate how tall the brunette was when she was just twelve years old. “But now look how much you’ve grown! You’re nearly as tall as your dad. Not only that, but you look more and more like Maxine!” He exclaimed with a huge smile, remembering the stunning blonde that he only met once before her untimely death.
“She does, doesn’t she?” Melvin looked fondly at his daughter, a rueful smile on his face, feeling a twinge of sadness at the mention of his late wife.
“She reminds me of my youngest, my little girl is also a carbon copy of her mother. Maybe you know Jillian?” William asked Bette. “She also goes to Yale, a Sophomore majoring in Art.”

Okay, I know she had it coming, but you had me feeling sorry for Kate. Suicidal, yes, but you have to admire someone who follows their heart, even if it gets their poor gibson smashed. You smashed a gibson! What is wrong with you? Thanks for the post, good luck on the foreign studies.
I love the way Bette loves Tina. I love a jealous Bette, and maybe a jealous Tina, But I love Bette and Tina the most. Please don’t let anyone come between them…
I love the fun and giggles. I love the loyal friends. I love the banter among the F4 and Tina. I love Bette with Melvin. I love Bette’s sense of dedication to the Porter companies. Most of all, I love besotted Bette. Well, maybe that isn’t quite right. Most of all I love your story. 40 pages? 400 pages next time!!!!!
Kate is very lucky, her instrument took the anger instead. we got rid of Kate Alch, Now its Jill ‘s turn. Tina will kill her for sure lol. This post was great, very funny as well. Can’t wait for the next
LOL at Bette calling Kate Frodo… That was hilarious. Great chapter!
So glad to see an update to my Fav Fic. Great job by the way…Kate has some nerve signing to Tina & I love dhow Bette took care of the situation…so sexy. So now Tina ha ssomeone afetr her & I believe Bette will to with this Grisham lady…I smell trouble. Loved it!!!!!
Had to hold my breath the entire time Bette was confrontating the hobbit. That was hot beyond words..aherm. And seems like there are third parties all over the place…reminds me of a text message a friend sent me…it said something like “Not all parties are fun – by Third Party”.LMFAOL
Uhhh Ohhh, I take it that Jillian and Bette have met in the past. Not a good sign on Bette’s behalf. Kate is so lucky that Bette promised Tina to not kill her. Now we get to see a jealous Tina.
“Something she can’t – and probably won’t ever give her.” this is such an open statement, seems like Tina is curious…then again who won’t be. And then at the end of the chappy we have Bette who is facing temptation now. Man will they won’t they??!! It would be fun to see the drama if they both did. PPS
Hmmm…that just had alittle bit of everything to it! I so totally love jealous Bette (I remember the jealous Bette cookie..hehe!) Too many good scenes to comment on but I think you know my faves by now (maybe in a PM) Thank you for the funny Bette & Sam,they are delightful together. But of course the pouting Bette and “…” were my favorite piece. And now another hmmm on the horizon with Jillian? A jealous Tina is even better than a jealous Bette..this will be so fun. Thank you..your devoted reader!! oh and about IC..well I’ll tell you later..
You’re the master of “…” I’m a total fan! It’s just so funny seeing them jealous. I’m so looking forward for the next one! ;)
well Kate got put in her place at last, i really don’t like her character,i also have a bad feeling about this Jillian person but im sure Tina will sort her out!! anyway cheers for the post,can’t wait til the next one
This story is the perfect antidote to rainy day blues. So funny… Kate’s been warned off, probably forever (I’ll admit to feeling sorry for her guitar though), now Tina’s maybe going to have to warn this Jill (*great* name, btw! ;) ) off her woman. Can’t wait for your next post, Alchemy. Thanks!
and bette doesn’t remember jill… i wonder if she does now… i trust you… i know bette would never do any thing to hurt tina… love this… pps
Your dialogue and style of writing is such a treat to read! So damn funny, as well as sexy and tender. The banter in the art gallery had me in tears and the giggles continues from there. I did feel bad for Kate though… especially with the guitar smashing. But how can anyone not love your Bette?? You seem to be brewing quite a bit of drama though… Kate…Jill…the nightmares… Can’t wait for your next post and here’s hoping for the 40+ pages!
Let me say this. I like a lot jealous Bette and I love jealous Tina! But I adore this couple together. And with Kate and Jill… well I smell trouble? I hope they will be together in the end. Anyway, about the chapter I laughed a lot with “…” and the conversation between F4. For another chapter you rivet our attention and thank you for that. You are incredible.
…you’re tiny…like a hobbit – genius Alch, what a put down!! well that’s kate taken care of then it’s enter jill…don’t think we’ve seen much of “jealous” tina have we?…interesting to see how she handles this! pps! oh and loving the length of the chappy!!
Kate is lucky if Tina didn’t say a word Bette would’ve kick her ass lol. But now is trouble coming and hope nothing happen between Bette and Jill. Please post more, thanks!
Looks like Tina’s gonna get her chance to be jealous too! I totally am in love with this story! PPS:)
This is story is my all time fave, especially this chapter. Go bette!
