    A Tale of Two Mom’s Chapter 5

    Maxine and Gladys shared a bottle of wine on the terrace of Maxine’s suite.  After spending the day with their granddaughter at the Botanical Gardens they both relished the opportunity to put their feet up and rest. 

     

              ‘It’s been quite a day.” Maxine remarked.

     

              “Yes it has.”

     

              “I never got a chance to thank you for this morning at breakfast.”

     

              “You’re quite welcome.”  Gladys smiled.  “We Moms have to stick together.”

     

              “Elizabeth is right.  I haven’t been a Mom to her since she was four.”

     

              “Listen.  I don’t know all the details, but the way you defended your daughter when I threatened her is the action of a Mom, absent or not.”

     

              Maxine smiled, and Gladys found that she liked seeing a smile there.  For some strange reason she felt a satisfaction knowing she had put it there. 

     

              “So are you ready for dinner this evening?”

     

              “As ready as I’ll ever be I guess.”  Maxine sighed.  She was aware that Gladys was trying to ease into the conversation while gently supporting her.  It was nice to have the support of this quiet strong beautiful woman.  She wouldn’t have guessed that she would get support from a woman who from the looks of it was a devoted mother.  “I never meant to leave her.”  Maxine spoke quietly.  I am not a very brave woman and I was overwhelmed by the struggles Elizabeth’s father and I faced.  He was such a dynamic Black man.  He had no fears of anything.  When we married my family turned their backs to me.  I felt so alone.  There was so much violence at that time.  Dallas, Memphis, Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia where we lived at the time seemed to be a powder keg waiting to explode.  It was even more intense as the Panthers began to rise.  We were hit from both sides then.  Both our white and black friends were demanding that we choose sides.  Melvin walked a fine line and I feared for his life everyday.  I feared for all our lives.  I ran. 

     

              “I can’t imagine.”  Gladys soothed softy.  “Out in Nebraska we saw all that stuff on TV and it seemed like a million miles away.  George traveled on business from time to time and he would say that the country had gone buck wild. I was involved with a feminist group of sorts in Omaha.  We thought we were doing something burning our bras and smoking marijuana.  We got involved with the anti war movement which caused a big scandal with the local VFW.  George grew his hair long and we even went to a swinger’s party.  We were shocked by Kent State and campaigned for McGovern.  It was ‘the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

    1. You had me grinning the whole time. I’ll admit I imagined this coming on, but you wrote it well enough to surprise me anyway. Great story! Now, I wonder what would would happen if Bette and Tina, or better yet, the rest of the gang found out. I can almost picture Kit’s expression and Alice…oh gosh Alice will have a bowling ball! I enjoyed this story for the ‘unconventional quirkiness’ a la mama twists, LOL. Keep writing XD

    2. Bummer, I was really getting into Bette getting to know her mother better thing. So Gladys and Maxine go figure. I bet that they make as cute as a couple as Bette and Tina. Everything seems to revolve around Angelica. It is Angelica that brought Bette and Tina back together and it was Angelica that brought Maxine and Bette back together. I hope that you will continue to bring us more B&T stories.

    3. now thats a happy ending… now the sequel… because i know angelica will let the cat out of the bag… loved this short story… so i do hope you continue

    4. Ok finally I can comment. This story has been great, but how can you think of ending it here! Hello Honeymoon! Luv the older ladies gettn together, its cute! Its a new twist! ENCORE!

    5. Thank you for bringing this story to us, and thank you for continuing it when we begged you to. You are an awesome writer and I really hope you write more for us…(it would have been nice to get a NC-17 on the mothers of the brides…wow that sounds freaky…lol
