LOVE AND PRIDE Chapter four
Bette woke up at 3:30 feeling nauseous. She had run in some major races at High School but this was her chance to impress serious runners. She knew she had the speed – she had been a good 800 metre runner before turning her attentions to longer distances.
She had an ambition to run a half marathon in a few years – maybe even compete in a triathlon. She knew she was a brilliant swimmer and a good runner — she just hated cycling. But her body was still growing and her coach at school had told her that she would not reach her physical peak until she was in her mid 30’s.
But it was one of the many things that Bette Porter intended to do as she grew into adulthood. When she was on her long runs she developed her ambitions. Her own art gallery or maybe run as a Senator one day and teaching appealed to her.
She knew that she came into her own money when she was 21 – the trust fund that her mother had left for her. Melvin often said that it was the only thing apart from life that Margaret Porter gave to her daughter Bette. Money that would allow her to make a wider range of choices and allow her to achieve those dreams
While she had so many ambitions that encompassed places and achievements and personal landmarks she knew that the one area that she had always left blank were emotional ambitions. Did she want to marry – have children ? Or did she need to be free to move to where her career demanded, even change continents without worrying about a partner.?
As she lay in bed flexing her calves she became overwhelmed with sickness again. She leapt out of bed and ran into the bathroom just making it to the basin before she threw up. She had suffered from nerves before but this was much worse. After 20 minutes she staggered back to bed and fell into bed.
As she closed her eyes she pictured Colin again – did he really like her or was he just being friendly ? She wasn’t sure of anything when it came to relationships. At High School her teenage hormones had not so much exploded as popped gently into life.

brilliant , as usual!
What fun!
Yeah, I’m with Lament on this one. I think going out with someone you know you don’t really fancy only for the sake of being with someone is understandable but still a wrong choice, and can lead to complicated consequences… If you see what I mean…! Of course I’m biaised, but still. Could B&T meet before their dates puh-leaase??? That would give them both a lot to think about during their evening. I trust you’ll lead things for the best my dearest writer, but I’m getting impatient here, as always when it comes to B&T… But thanks Ally!
haha, let me guess. Bette will meet Tina before she goes out on a date, leaving both unsettled for their night. Bang, Helena won’t have Tina in bed before Saturday.Bette will know her sexuality.
That determined Bette did indeed whoop them all. Good of her not to whoops on them during the race with that stomach bug, that would have been both unseemly and unsporting. Helena’s cooking for Tina? “Bette, would you mind answering the door? I’ve got my hands full.” could be the start of oh, so many things. Including regret for Helena.
This is gonna be a slow one isn’t it. But I so can’t wait until Tina and Bette meet, then all their questions will be answered.
LOL Tina sure is a teenager, she doesn’t really know what she wants and have a change of heart about Helena, because she is lonely. Have we not all been there :o)) I’m really looking forward to see your B&T plan LOL. Post L-wing soon please….
can’t wait for the 2 innocents B & T to meet, I guess they’ll start talking about running and Helena who seems like a very nice step-sister…will she be as nice when the girlz get 2gether or will Bette hold off getting with Tina out of respect for her sister…make someone else come along to attract Helena…PPS
good good Bette is a fighter! i want to know how B&T will meet and i am so sorry for Helena cause if Bette decide that she wants Tina she will have her before Helena!
when is bette and tina going to meet? can’t wait…they’d better meet soon or i will die waiting
“God help anyone who tried to stop Bette Porter getting exactly what she wanted ” Hit the nail on the head there helena! Nice anvil Ally! Running is a great ice-breaker (1st and 2nd place finishers) wonder if its gonna be that competitive push-pull thing or the supportive teammate thing- either could be really interesting – the best relationships combine chemistry and mutual interests- I can’t wait for all the tension at dinner…love this story..please post soon!!
Excellent storytelling. One of the things that you and the other excellent authors on this site is the ability to write different genres of stories. This one has the angst and lightheartedness of college days and first sexual experiences.
Ally, this is just a really fun story so far, but knowing you I am sure we are in for some drama at some point. I just wonder what will happen when Bette and Tina finally meet. Now don’t forget your other two stories. I just can’t believe you have three stories going on at once, but that just shows what a talented writer you are my friend.
I cannot wait for Tina and Bette to meet. I want to see how the sparks fly!!!
ALLY-ALLY-ALLY! this is going to be REALLY ONE, but it will be worth the wait…..tibette forever….
I’m now worried Bette will be throwing up when it comes time for her first time with Tina or who over.I still believe sisterly love will allow Helena to step aside.
I can’t wait till Tina and Bette come fact to face. I wonder if both will feel that connection immediately and will those fire works be seen by others, namely Helena?
Good chapter and please let B&T meet!!!!!!
I can’t wait for the moment that Bette and Tina meet each other. It must be sparkling :)
Tina WTF. This is why no one could pay me to go back and relive my younger years because I remember wanting to go out with someone just for the sake of going out. Sex wasn’t factored in at all though. So yeah I had some dumb notions about relationships and all that and if I had to do that all over again I’d probably poke my eye out. Helena better not hurt Tina or Bette will kick Helena’s ass.
can’t wait to see how t&b meet. oh and can you please post the next chapter lwing soon? i so miss the story
I can’t wait for the date. Sparks are sure to fly :).
Great chapter again, thanks.
Well well. This is getting quite interesting. Can’t wait for B & T to meet.
