The Adventures Of Bette Porter And Sissee Gardner After Yale (Part 8, Chapter 8)
PART EIGHT: ORANGE GROVE, CALIFORNIA
Chapter 8
Later that night, after everyone had gone to bed, I sat in the family room on the sofa with a glass of merlot. The television was on low but I was not hearing or seeing it. I was feeling very sad and low down.
Then suddenly, I was startled at the sound of Bette‘s voice. I looked up to see her coming through the kitchen. She had finally awakened . She came in and sat next to me. I asked her how she felt and she said, “Like shit.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m hung over.”
“Can I get you something?”
“No, I just need to give my body a rest.”
“I feel bad,” I said.
“About what?”
“I wasn’t much help to you.”
She patted my knee affectionately, saying, “I’m sure you tried.”
“Yes, I tried but apparently not hard enough.”
“It’s okay, I know you care and have good intentions.”
“Good intentions? I don’t think so. Not after what happened to us this afternoon.”
“What do you mean?”
“Bette, if I had my head on straight, if I had good intentions, I would have stopped us.”
She looked at me with half a smile. “Stopped us from what?”
I looked back at her, trying to read her face. “You mean you don’t remember?”
“Remember what?”
“What happened between us this afternoon?”
She tilted her head, still half amused. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Whoa…….” I pondered the situation for a moment and then said, “Now wait a minute. You’re sure you don’t remember what we did?”
“Yes, I’m sure.”
“Do you remember when I came home about 2 o’clock and found you drinking?”
She thought a moment. “I guess so. Well, sort of.”
“Do you remember when I took your drink and sent you off to the shower?”
“Shower, no. Well, maybe vaguely. Yes, I showered.”
“And do you remember coming into my office and giving me a hug?”
She gave a short laugh. “I did? That was nice of me.”
“And you asked me to hold you?”
“Oh, oh.”
“So we sat on the couch together,” I said. “Do you remember that?”

September, Thanks for your post. I have a lot of irons in the fire so I am not sure how soon the new Adventure series will start (contrary to my 300 rule) but it’s good to know you will be here. You can be sure, meanwhile, that Bette and Sissee do have a future together.
Right, I’ve spent some time reading a good few chapters of your story, sissee, and I have to say that I like it quite a lot–it’s got a bit of everything and I think it’s very well-written. I’ll catch up all of it eventually, but I do hope you’ll have the next segment up soon. thanks
jp22, Hey! I’m glad to have you as a new reader and I hope you’ll be with us for some time, too. You say you have read a few chapters and will catch up later with the rest. Mmmmm, just please promise me one thing – that you won’t read it backwards like one of my readers did! It really tickled me and I still smile when I think of it. In any case, welcome to our Adventure Stories.
Thank you, Sis for 8/8. I always say, “A woman’s life is in cyles of 8 years,” so I think you brought this story to a symbolic conclusion. Well done! I’ll be waiting for the next series.
techgal, Thanks for that vote of confidence. I really appreciate it and will look forward to seeing you in the next go around. Cheers!
aw…i really hate the Tina/Henry period. maybe u could fast forward to post s5.
Well at least Bette could tell Sis that she now believed her story & how sorry she was. Too bad it had to happen to her for it to be so. Anyway, I’m very excited to see the next series of events. Season 3 was so painful for me, but with Sissee lurking in the background it gives me hope that my Bette might find happiness with her first true love again. Thanks so much!
i have never had a story that did not involve bette and tina or bette and helena, that moved me as much as this one, i honestly rooted for sissee the whole time until she married howie, then the rest killed me. you are a great writer and i look forward to anything else you come up with in the future!!!!!!
I’m with Rau, NO Henry
Rau, Nice to see you posting here. I know the timing is bad what with Bette and Tina getting back together in Season 5 but at the time, in 2006, it was more acceptable. Everyone was upset with Tina for giving up Bette for a guy like Henry. And this fanfic site does not seem to be time oriented. My best to you and your writing. Sissee
Annab69, Thank you for your kind words. I’ve always said these comments are my royalties for writing and when readers write accolades like yours, I feel well compensated for my time. I’m also happy to know you will be with us in the next Adventure story.
bettyvhall, Oh, you won’t get much of Henry. I can still see him cutting his toenails in the living room. Ugh!
kbergin47, Thanks for your comments. I am kind of excited about the After Tina stories too because it’s been a while since I’ve written them. I love this fanfic site and being able to share my stories with people I don’t even know. It was different when I wrote them in Betteville, a site that has been totally deleted by Showtime’s main message board. We were all so sad to see it go, and my stories with it. It’s a good thing I kept copies of everything written. And trust me kbergin47, my readers there spoiled me with encouragement compared to how cutting some of the fanfic readers can be here. But that’s okay, it won’t stop me.
I knew you would be posting soon…I mean I read your secret about 300 views and when I was posting last night well 400 something soooo cool. I’m a big a mega big T/B fan like a lot on this board but I’m open minded and because of that I wish Sissee and Bette where together. I have one word sad….emotional sad..okay that where two words. Why is it always to late when you look back on things? Off course I’m glad that Bette is happy with Tina in the end with baby A but still I keep wondering like Sissee. Nice update and I can’t wait for the next season of S and B.
