Chapter 18
Tina drove to work with thoughts of the previous day flooding her mind, what a day…, a day of so many thoughts and emotions. Her own emotions in listening and processing the things that Bette had told her, thus leading to the thoughts and better understanding of Bette Porter as a person.
There was also the unloading of so many past memories, both positive and negative for Bette. Tina was still, to a certain extent, stunned at the things in which Bette told her, the story of growing throughout her teenage years without a mother figure present in her life, there was still so much incomprehension in how that must have affected Bette.
But coupled with the baring of Bette’s soul was the union they had partaken in…, Tina gave a sigh as the thoughts of that fully clothed union made itself physically present in her groin as she felt a slight surge, needing to shift slightly in her seat to alleviate and alter the pressure.
She remembered the words she had spoken afterward…, it was so true, she really had ‘never met anyone quite like Bette Porter…’
But the other words tugged at her heart strings, in a way more so than hearing of Bette’s painful memories, was the words that Bette had uttered following their fully clothed union, it was something she just couldn’t shake off, a simple sentence that said so much about the hidden life of Bette Porter, the life that she didn’t share, the feelings that she didn’t share – was there really that depth of darkness in her life…?
‘When I look at you the darkness in my life suddenly disappears…’ A hitch caught in Tina’s throat as she remembered the look in Bette’s eyes when she had said it…, there was a darkness as the words passed her lips, followed by a visible lightening as the words were ended with a delicate touching of lips.
It was a profound statement that just wouldn’t shift from her mind, a double edged statement that told of past darkness and future lightness…
It pained Tina to think or believe that Bette had experienced that level of darkness, but as she had lay in bed last night and thought about their day together, she understood the darkness and as she drifted off to sleep she hoped that she was the one that continued to allow that darkness to disperse and allow a life that brought light…

Hey JO, Thank you for another fabuluos chapter. I am printing it off to read in bed tonight so will add my thoughts tomorrow. Many thanks , Your Loyal Fan.
And I expect nothing less from the formidable Jobadge!!! Good one mate, hope you are back tomorrow xx
… today at work was just Hell !… finding your story this evening was a blessing… and reading it made me laugh and just restored my faith in life – thanks to you, I will now be able to sleep with nice dreams, instead of fighting nightmares. Thanks a lot, and I’m just waiting to meet the so loving Lily :-)
Aww so sweet, that prick Franklin really thought he had Bette for a second didn’t he. Bette must have fallen deep to be letting Tina so far into her inner circle. Looking forward to reading more.
God, did I love that ending!!! And thanks to coop! Cause my next question was to ask if it was true that lilies meant “I dare you to love me”, which is absolutely perfect from Tina to Bette… But we all know that in B&T’s case, lilies are not necessary… I also loved the words on the card, referring to her statement two nights before. Very clever and such a powerful and meaningful message… What else can I say, Jo, other than… FORMIDABLE!!! Thank you.
Well, what else is there to say ?… Another delightful piece of literature from you, Jo. But then again, how come I am not surprised of being completely bewitched by your words ? LOL ! As a matter of fact, I’m now serisouly wondering what would constitute a challenge for you as an author, Jo ? Is there anything you couldn’t write ? Any “genre” you wouldn’t feel confortable with ? You seem to be able to take your readers from laughs to tears with such ease, it’s almost troubling… Vous êtes absolument… formidable !
Jo, I really do love yuor writing, this is another wonderful chapter you’ve given us. Thanks.
Hey, Jo! You know what? The love bug always bite where you least expect! That’s why, when 2 willing prospects (like B&T) go through this experience, they cannot hide it! It comes to the surface, right away! The effervescence of that feeling always strikes you back, no matter how you fight to keep it under control. Nope. You can’t. It rules and… if you let it in and grow… then, that feeling overwhelms you to your very core, completely! I do believe that Lily is going to strip B&T’s inner feelings bare, because she knows Bette inside, through her mother’s feedback and then, she will be able to read Tina’s in-depth feelings for Bette, because they will be transparent. That’s what I think and I’m all excited about the next chapter. Tks, Jo! That was an enjoyful chapter, which gathers all the emotions sensed during their heartfelt weekend and their next soul encounter with Bette’s Mom’s partner. It will be absolutely AWSOME!
Yes, it is my goal in life to be last. I love how this story is coming together. The view of the inner workings of Bette and then Tina are giving us a foundation of their love for one another. I also loved the reference to the gallery and making love on the platform. That still is one of my favorite chapters of your stories.
Fast enough??? :o)) Yeah have been busy as you know LOL. Looking forward to read this when I get home xx
Jo, you should never interpret my joking as criticism. Bette just keeps giving Tina lilies over and over again. First the bouquet, than the invite to dinner. It’s all about lilies. Curiously, the name Susan in Hebrew means lily, but in modern Hebrew also means rose, as that flower was unknown outside the far east in ancient times. It therefore covers the flowers that Bette sent Tina as well as the flowers Tina sent Bette. Strange resonances abound. But I think someday Bette just might take Tina down to the gallery and ravish her.
Absolutely brilliant! Just as I recovering from the the last chapter, this one takes my breath away. Your postings make my day. PPS!!!
Glad that it seems like they can work together. The Bette and Kit scene was really sweet. Can’t wait for the dinner. I’m in love with this story.
Jo, I just love this story. Its so nice the way you have them interact with each other, and amazing that in such a short time they can actually already read each other. Love the flowers and both of them thinking the florist had goofed. Would have loved to see FRanklin squirm. Dinner together with Lily is a brilliant idea, I believe Bette is seeking the approval of someone who means a great deal to her. Lets remember lilies mean “I dare you to love me”.
Hello Jo, AM back now and having read more of your wonderful words I am prompted to comment on the beauty and lyrical romance you have painted. I do consider you are artist first as you craft with words, sentences and paragraphs. Each stroke is perfectly judged; each emotion evident for all to feel; each scene clear for all to see. Thank you for giving me the honor of sharing this voyage of discovery with you. This chaper was interesting because it revealed more of the complexities of Bette and Tina. They both realize that this relationship has the potential to change their lives completely. in fact this is the death throes of the Lady Slayer. She has met her match and now wants to embark on a new adventure. One with an equal parnter by her side. This was obvious in her conversation with Kit. I loove the way this mirrored Tina’s thought process. When something this major and good happens to you it is nearly impossible for all those that know you not to realize the subtle changes that appear. Then the flowers invidents; funny how their first thoughts were that the florist had mucked up but great to see them laughing about it all. Tehre is just such a resonant connection between Bette and Tina; it just quietly hums in the background, constantly reassuring them. Then dealing with Franklin, loved it. What a scream to have the odious buffoon put in his palace so adeptly. This does raise some interesting question s on Bette and Tina abilities to seperate their working relatiosnhip from their romantic one. Can’t wait to read where this all leads. I know that it is is extremely safe and loving hands. Thank your for this delicious and delectable drama. Your Loyal Fan.
Oh shit, Tina, this is serious business! You’re about to meet someone who practically became a mother figure to Bette. :O Like Kword75, I was also thinking of “I dare you to love me” as the meaning behind the lilies. You know Tina must be something special if even Alice can see the change in Bette and I do believe Alice would kick Tina’s ass from here to kingdom come if Tina hurt Bette. As for what you’ve won, ummmmm will a slice of Mom’s homemade meatloaf do? LOL
Hi JO, Thank you for another wonderful chapter!!!!
That was awesome!
