LOVE AND PRIDE – CHAPTER 51
Bette Porter stood on the platform at Lancaster railway station waiting for the train from London to get in. It was snowing heavily and she was sipping a cup of coffee to fight off the cold.
She reflected that only three months ago she had first laid eyes on Tina Kennard –it was remarkable how your life could change so totally in one instant. Meeting Tina – falling in love with the blonde and becoming lovers had crystallised so much for Bette. Only when her lips had touched Tina’s for the first time had she known for certain that she was gay – and now she couldn’t even picture what it would be like to be heterosexual. No man could ever match the love and tenderness she shared with the blonde from North Carolina.
Finally twenty minutes late the train pulled up at the platform and as people disembarked Bette spotted Helena for the first time – she waited until the crowds had thinned and made her way to where her sister was loading her luggage onto a trolley. They greeted each other with broad grins and a big hug
“How are you?”
“Glad to be back in Lancaster “
“Are Peggy and Melvin okay?”
“Fine – send their love and hope that the new girl is settling into her new quarters”
“She’s currently assembling some flat pack furniture that we bought – the bed hasn’t arrived yet and I’ve been and bought a drill and raw plugs and screws so she can put up some shelves and a curtain rail “
“What’s a raw plug ?”
“No idea – she gave me a list and I just took it to a DIY store and asked for everything on the list “
“Shane says that it’s a sure sign of being gay – being able to handle tools and put up shelves “
“Well that’s you and I up in front of the Lesbian Authorities then “
“Are you two okay?”
“Great – oh Alice phoned yesterday – she’s getting in at 3 so she wants us all in Furness bar at 7:30 “

It would appear that way, Cerdi.
I never could stand uppers. Oops! Did I just say something indiscrete about MY college years? Oh, well, good old Ohio U., you all knew it was a party school anyway, didn’t you? But besides a good many things academic, I also learned there were several things of a non-uppers variety that I did enjoy. Oops! Did I just say something indiscrete about MY college years? Oh well, it was all long ago and I am keeping legal these days. Looks like part of Bette’s learning curve is going to include becoming less judgemental while not condoning others’ weaknesses.
Hullo, Ally, Afraid I have been busy with work the last two and therefore haven’t commented. In fact just catching up with your stories now. This latest chapter was fabulous, I love the wole sweep of the grand adventure. Bette and Tina were hilarious in their bed hunt and then reality sank in for Bette. This meant that the gals have a good chat about how the outside world could affect them but as ever their love shone through. You really capture how honesty is a fundamental part of this parting. Then you mixxed in some pathos as Helena came home to witness the love fest and admit her jealousy for this type of relationship to be part of her world. The drugs issue as sensitively handled and showed how good a friend and alley Tina is for Helena. Can’t wait to see how this all develops so please post more soon. Many thansk for this reviting story. Your Loyal Fan.
So what drugs was Helena taking to stay awake? I have to read Goethe’s Faust for my first class in the morning (737 pages) and commentary (~200) and I have about 5 hours left till 7am, so I could use some of Helena’s stuff to keep myself from sleeping… Does she have a pill that helps you read faster?.. Anyway, kudos to Tina for being able to do all the DIY work. I also have no clue what “raw plugs” are.
I’m a terrible lesbian… I’m horrible at fixing things… Oh well, guess I’ll go with brains and beauty… well, brains anyway… GREAT as always!
Your Tina is growing more and more confident… I love it! Considering her current situation with Bette’s family, she needs to show Bette and everyone that she’s not poor innocent Tina, and that she has a personality and opinion that count. You managed to integrate her well into that triangle. She’s above all loyal to Bette, but also to Helena when it’s legitimate and when Bette is being unreasonable. It’s a nice dynamic, well done! And thanks! … And again, sorry to mention it again, but this whole excitement of being back on campus after the holidays is sooooo familiar to me and brings back so many memories!
Whoa, why is Bette being so judgemental? So Helena took a feww pills to stay awake…who doesn’t in college. Speed and coffee is how you make it through 4 years of college. I just hope Bette doesn’t find out how many drugs Helena was taking b/c i would hate to see another rift b/w the sisters. It’s great that Tina stepped in but she might not want to make a habit of getting b/w Bette and Helena. Tina may find herself in more trouble w/ Bette is she keeps taking sides in situations b/w the sisters. PPS!
geez funnyone, sounds like you at least had some fun in college. my time was very boring at a religious school. great chappy ally. thanks.
Not all lesbians are good at DIY, I know one!!!! LOL – sweet welcome they made for Helena. When are they going to christen the new bed, after their night out?? Post soon on all 3 stories :o))
Good chapter. Wow Tina is good with fixing things. Like a welcome home that B&T have for Helena. Is good that Tina is there to help Helena and hope she will get her homeworks done, and about her using drugs hope Bette not mad at Helena. Anyway post soon please, thanks!
