    The Adventures Of Bette Porter And Sissee Gardner After Yale (Part 3, Chapter 1)

    THE ADVENTURES OF BETTE PORTER AND SISSEE GARDNER AFTER YALE (Part 3, Chapter 1)

    PART THREE: MENDOCINO, CALIFORNIA

    Chapter 1

    Bette and I were on our way to Mendocino. She wanted to drive because Terry had just given her what he called a bonus perk – a brand spanking new 1985 canary yellow Corvette convertible. It seems she had made some very wise buys on a summer trip to Paris, including 20 canvasses from a then unknown artist who was suddenly in demand in the United States. Terry was absolutely delighted with her and she was feeling really good about herself.

    The car was a dream and of course Bette looked like a million dollars behind the wheel – a place where she was very comfortable – in or out of any automobile.

    It was early December, several weeks after our Mammoth trip. We had kept in touch by telephone but had both been extremely busy in our respective jobs and social lives – too busy to see each other. We left messages when we were not able to connect with an emphasis on both of us looking sooooooo forward to Mendocino.

    However, my life was beginning to become complicated. During our time apart my head and my heart took turns doing flip flops – between Bette and a guy named Howie.

    Howard Schmidt was someone with whom I was beginning to fall in love with before Mammoth. After Mammoth it was kind of strange coming home at different times of the day pressing my message button and hearing either his voice or hers, both flooding me with warm feelings.

    Howie was a good person. He was in law enforcement. I had met him at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa last July. He was with some guy pals and I was with a girlfriend. It just happened that we shared a table at the crowded event, when we all stopped for a brew at the beer garden.

    Howie was wearing a Wisconsin T-shirt that day and since that was where I was from, it opened up an immediate conversation that went on and on and never really stopped.

    He worked for the Orange Grove Police Department and was currently in the detective bureau’s narcotic division.

    1. artgirl, You will just have to keep reading to see who she choses, especially the chapter where Bette puts her foot down and tells her point blank……well, read on. It’s a story, slowly told but hopefully worth your patience.

    2. Sissee, your holiday calendar is getting crowded! How can you be in two places at once…? I love this original portrait of Bette Porter. She seems more free, less conflicted. I’ll guess we’ll find out when the holidays arrive. They tend to bring out the beast, I mean, best or worse in a person. Thanks!

    3. Hey, Sissee, thanks again foryour story….lessee…I’m not sure…just to not feel as I go to turn the page I’ve suddenly lost it…I guess. I dig, that you post a story at a time and the chapters are short. Why not post more than once a day. It feels more than a cliffhanger, it feels imcomplete the way the story abrubtly end the way it does. Uh..Did I tell that I love SissBette…I…think its great that you have Bette all to ytourself…don’t even wish it was me..uh, uh…Noo..Not at all…one bit.lol. I truly love your work, Please post very, very soon!

    4. Bealschick, Thanks for your comments. It was very nice of you. I am still working on combining chapters. I don’t even think of me being the Sissee in SissBette. I prefer to separate Sissee the writer and Sissee the character. That way, I don’t sound like a presumptious egotist. Hang on, another chapter coming up soon.

    5. AshleyRoth, I am so pleased you like the story. As for the chapters being short, I apologize but I hope my frequent posting of them will make up for the difference. Thanks for being here.
