    IS THIS LOVE CHP 74

    IS THIS LOVE

    CHAPTER 74

    Tina was just leaving work – it was after 6:30 and she had been working since 11. She was really enjoying working in a bookstore. Short of being the manager of her own independent cinema she guessed this was her dream job.
    “Tina “
    Tina was surprised to see her mother when she turned round at the sound of her name. What was even more surprising was that her mother did not look as immaculate as usual
    “Are you alright ?”
    “Yes – yes thank you – I am glad that I have caught you – can we talk – maybe over a beer ?”
    “Of course “
    “Thank you – how was your day ?”
    “Interesting – the two jobs are a contrast – I love it “
    “That’s good – do you know a bar around here ?”
    “There is a café bar over there – some of the staff go there for lunch — it over there “
    They walked along in silence. Tina was wondering what had prompted her mother’s unexpected appearance. For the last few weeks they had been getting on very well – Emma seemed to approve of Bette and Tina – something that mean the world to Tina.
    Emma was a contrast of emotions – she would have happily stayed in bed with Helena all day but Bette had been sending increasingly irate text messages all afternoon. The gist of the texts was that if they didn’t tell Tina she would because she wasn’t prepared to lie to her girlfriend.
    Emma had been annoyed by Bette’s attitude but deep down she knew that the gallery owner was right. If she had thought it through in her alcohol and sex soaked state she would have asked Helena not to tell Bette until she had spoken to her daughter.
    “Are you sure everything is alright mom ?”
    “Yes – I just want to talk “
    “Okay “
    They didn’t speak again until they were sitting in the café bar. Tina had a large glass of red wine in front of her and Tina was holding an ice cold bottle of beer. Emma picked up her glass and took a HUGE gulp. Tina raised an eyebrow
    “No offence mother but something has rattled your normal calm persona “
    Emma smiled – she still wasn’t sure how she was going to tell her daughter this piece of news.
    “You know that I loved Kate with all my heart – when she died – a piece of me went as well. That is never going to be reborn again”
    Tina nodded.
    “But everyone has been telling me that its about time I go out there again and started to date “
    “Including me “
    “Especially you” Emma said “It didn’t work with Val even though she was lovely – really sweet “
    Tina didn’t feel that she was getting any closer to figuring out what her mother was talking about.
    “I think that maybe what ended that relationship was how obvious it was that she wanted a long term thing “
    Tina had given up trying to work out where she was taking this conversation – eventually she would reach her destination.
    “I miss Kate -I miss everything and I miss her everyday “
    “Mom – I know and you know that it is not disrespectful for you to date again. It is what she wanted and I think it would be good for you “
    “This is going to sound weird – beyond weird. Please just hear me out and I know that I am rambling “
    Tina sipped her beer and looked at her mom.
    “Why don’t you just spit it out “
    Emma took another large mouthful of wine and looked at her daughter
    “I slept with Helena last night “
    Tina looked puzzled “Helena ?”
    “Helena Peabody – I slept with Helena Peabody “
    “You and Helena “ Tina needed to say it
    “Yes “
    “Are you saying that you had sex with Helena Peabody ?”
    “Yes” Emma decided to come clean – may as well go for it “And I have been with her this afternoon “
    Tina went silent – her mother and HELENA !. This was going to take some time to get her head around this one.
    “Is this a joke because I have worked all day with the hangover from hell “
    “No – this is real Tina – I am having a fling – whatever you want to call it – with Helena “
    “Last night everyone was very far gone “
    “I know and Helena took me home. It was pretty obvious even though as you say we were all drunk – it was obvious that something was going to happen. For the last few weeks there have been – well under current between the two of us. I went to an AIDS benefit with her when you and Bette were in Las Vegas. She is intelligent and witty and very very beautiful”
    “WOW “ Tina said finally “ You are sleeping with Helena “
    The more times she said it might help her get her head around this alien concept
    Emma nodded “ I am sure it is just a bit of fun for both of us – its not serious – its fun “
    “I can see why you wanted to tell me to my face and with a drink in your hand – thank you”
    “I am just having fun Tina “
    Tina lent back and looked at her mother – she certainly looked BEYOND relaxed. The kind of relaxed that you only got when you had been spending illicit hours in bed with a hot woman. Tina had never seen her mother look so happy – not since her other mom had died.
    “Helena has a reputation – I do not want you to get hurt “
    “I know that its not going to last – I don’t care – I am just “ she sighed
    “Having fun “ Tina filled in “You keep saying “ Tina shook her head and looked at her mother
    “You are capable of surprising me mother – good for you”
    Tina smiled for the first time – Emma grinned in relief. Tina’s approval or lack of disapproval meant a lot to her she had realised as she has started telling her daughter. The last thing that Emma wanted was to damage her relationship with her beloved Tina. Tina’s smile was a really sweet thing and at this point it was an encouraging one.
    “I know it sounds weird but there is something there – something that I cannot explain – and I don’t expect to be able to “
    Tina was shocked but with a daughter’s love for her mother she couldn’t deny that the smile on her face was not a really special thing
    “I don’t want you to get hurt mother but you seem to be going into this with your eyes wide open “
    “I know that she is young enough to be my daughter and I have seen her with beautiful women “ Emma looked into her wine glass “ Its just a boost to my ego “
    “Well enjoy it “
    “While it lasts you should have added “
    “Just enjoy it “ Tina said again “Don’t question why or how long its going to last “
    “Are you sure you don’t mind ?”
    “Its none of my business is it ? I don’t want you to get hurt but I can see why its good for you “
    Emma lent over and touched Tina’s hand “Thank you darling “
    “As I said already – who you sleep with is your business and you are an adult. This isn’t what I expected but some of the best things in life start that way “
    “Thank you Tina “
    “You do not have to keep thanking me – wait til I tell Bette “
    “Helena told her this morning “
    “What did she say ?”
    “According to Helena Bette was at her most grumpy and was not as gracious as you have been – thank you “
    “Mom – if you are having fun that is all that matters. Bette really was ill this morning and she insisted on going in for 9am. She can be a real grizzly bear when she’s in that mood “
    Emma didn’t tell Tina that some of Bette’s texts to Helena had been more than grizzly – she had been full of scorn and derision – something that Emma had seen had wounded the younger woman.
    “So when are you seeing her again ?”
    Emma blushed “ I came here from her apartment – I will be going back there again “
    Tina chuckled “This is going to have some degree of entertainment “
    “I am so glad that your old mom is good for something “
    “Nothing old mom about anything – not when you have pulled Peabody junior – I guess you are one of the few women who are not gong to be intimidated by her money and her considerable self confidence”
    “Arrogance you mean “
    “I didn’t say that “
    “I like that about her “
    “Just as well “ Tina said dryly. “Well in that case we better make this our last drink – you have better things to do than spend time with boring old me and I better go see my own grizzly bear “
    “I know its not going to last more than a week if I am lucky. Its just a break from the monotony of working and missing Kate. Today has been different “
    “Could you actually take some time away from your desk ?”
    “I left the office without a word to anyone this afternoon “
    “They are going to think you have been kidnapped “
    “They might hope that – and they can think that for half a day until I walk in tomorrow and kick some butts “
    “That’s my mom “ Tina said proudly
    “I shall take that as a compliment”
    “Just as well “

    1. Tina took the news quite well, didn’t expect that. But she is glad Emma is happy and having fun.

      Still, Emma and Helena? I can’t really not see that but it is your story.

      You made me laugh at the end of the chapter, a double date, Bette’s face ????

      Thanks for the update!

    2. So option no. 2 it is: Tina is quite alright with her mom and Hels dating. LOL. I like how relaxed Tina was reacting to the news. Compared to grizzly bear Bette :-)

      Loved the court moment with Bette’s stammering.

      The double date? You had me laughing as well. Tina is so good for Bette. She knows how to loosen up her all serious and concerned girlfriend.

      Thanks for this early Sunday morning treat, ally. Stay safe and sound as well.

    3. This chapter was really cute and funny. Did not expect Tina to be so okay with dear Mom and Helena. But its something that Tina can really do nothing about if she objected. Its is 180 degrees from how Emma responded to Tina and Bette. This shows some real maturity in Tina which I did not expect. Bette’s real objection is that she thought Tina would object and therefore she needed to support Tina no matter what. Bette needs to relax now…apologize the Helena for her grizzly bear show and leave the whole thing alone. Of course if there were no problem with the relationship, Helena nor Emma would not feel compelled to tell Bette and Tina in the first place. But the problem of Bette being Helena’s best friend dating Tina’s mom still feels a little peculiar. If it turns out not to be a fling but something more long-term, there may still be problems. Tina’s boss’s daughter is dating her mom. Could a lover’s quarrel be a problem for Tina’s job? Will or there still could be a problem for Bette – who does she support her best friend or her future mother in law?

      In the end, the best thing for Bette and Tina to do is to agree that they will stay neutral with respect to any problems between Helena and Emma. Don’t offer advice, don’t listen to complaints. Have a standard reply “I’m sorry for the both of you. I hope you two can straighten this out.”. If they ask for advise, the proper response is “I have no idea. ”

      Poor Bette. Tina caught her in a no win question. Is her mom an attractive woman. If she says yes, that could mean she is attracted to Emma and if she says no, then she may not thing Tina is not attractive sin Tina looks so much like Emma. Bette did very well with the response….

      Great chapter… love love love this story. Full of humor and twist of things I just do not expect….

      Love to see more….
