A helping hand and a push in the right direction-CH. 5
Eli’s New York family and how he breaks it down for Aunt Grace
Eli:
Getting to meet the person who was once considered moms other half was a pretty big deal. When mom first told me about Bette Porter I was curious about who she was. After a couple of talks with mom this is what I know: they met at Bette’s gallery and had an instant connection. Mom had a boyfriend at the time (which was a little bit of a surprise because as far as I knew mom only dated women) and up to this point she had dated men exclusively.
The way mom explained it, the moment that they were introduced and took each others hand in their own it felt like a current of electricity went through them. She looked into Bette’s eyes and was ‘enthralled’ with what she saw staring back at her (enthralled is the word mom used she said it meant mesmerized, that she just couldn’t look away). Mom said the feelings she was having for Bette confused her at first but after their first kiss they knew that they were meant to be with each other. That the love that they shared with each other felt so strong that they felt like they completed each other. They were equal partners whose differences oddly enough complemented each other and made them whole.
They shared each others lives for a little over seven years, but that in the end they took each other for granted and made some bad mistakes. And even though she loved Bette very much, she felt that they had caused each other too much pain and that if she stayed it would have only made things worse. (How could things get worse? That’s what I asked) She said that Bette tried to work things out between them for about eight straight months, different methods/approaches but in the end mom was too afraid to get past her anger over what happened and wasn’t ready to admit that she was partly to blame (she didn’t tell me what happened but it would have to be something bad because I’ve never known mom to give up on a person that she loves). She hated to leave her family behind but she wasn’t ready to be around Bette and everything in West Hollywood reminded her of their life together. Even their family. So she moved to New York and started her life again.

Fantastic job with this, and very creative! I loved that part where Grace thought Tina would have no qualms about taking her out! I so look forward to the next installment–hope it’s very soon!
“I read in Newsweek that statistically those dating service relationships tend not to work out.” NINE years old?? Methinks Eli and Baby A are closely related, although Baby A’s contrivances are much more cryptic. Must be the 5 year difference. So, when does Mr. Eli start college? NYU, Yale or UCLA? Thanks!
I am bummed that you are not going to be able to post for awhile. Hope that things are okay with you. I am having a great time reading this story. You can tell that Bette has already fallen in love with Eli. Now if only Tina will get on the next plane to LA and meet up with Bette. Hoping that those sparks from yester year will still be there.
I am so enjoying this story and very sad that you won’t be writing for a while. Hope everything is ok. We will be here waiting when you post again.
