The Letter
Chapter 14
Being with Bette and talking about our lives made me even more attracted to her. She was someone that I found myself falling for quickly. Her love of her daughters and of her family was something that I wanted in my life. Lacey was not someone who ever wanted kids. Thank goodness for small blessings looking back. Her family was close but she chose to alienate herself from them. That was so strange to me since my parents meant the world to me. Hearing how Bette and her friends had created a family that worked for them made me feel as if I was missing something in my life other than just a partner. I wanted and needed the closeness of others. I loved Stace and she was always there for me but we both needed a larger circle of friends.
I had thought that I would be jealous of Trisha. Not jealous in her past with Bette but jealous that she still harbored unresolved feelings for her. It didn’t seem that way. She seemed happy to have had the time with her, thankful to have their daughters but ready to embark on something new. I hoped to be part of that something new.
The first kiss was a kiss that I would always remember. It wasn’t spectacular in the passion that it exuded but it was a kiss that was shared with someone that I knew that I was falling for and it was tender and sweet. I’m glad that we hadn’t shared one the night before at the bar. Then it would have been reactionary to the beauty that I saw before me. The kiss with her tonight was reactionary to actually feeling closer to her after we had shared so much between us.
I had not really talked to anyone other than my mother and Stacey about being cheated on. It was my shame to hold. My friends back in North Carolina hadn’t even heard the reason for the break up from me. Some had heard things and asked me questions but I made it abundantly clear early on that was a subject not up for discussion. I really didn’t care what they thought the reasons were for our breakup. Unless they were living my life, they had no real reason to know. With Bette though, I felt comfortable talking to her. I wanted her to know. I wanted her to understand some of my fears but I then realized that she too had her own fears. She had lost her partner that she had cherished. Her children weren’t enthused about her dating. We both were embarking on a new journey that we had no map directing us on how to do so.

You are so bad,I just knew that our Bette would be a good gir. Tina I had my doubt about. So glad that Em didnt mind calling her Mom at two in the morning. That just shows me the love they share. thanks.
Evil! Got me all excited, but thanks for posting before work…for some of us. LOL>PPS.
Hahahaha…you are sooo sneaky! You are like a good book that you just can’t put down. You just keep reading the next chapter saying just one more. That was cool…a Bette & Tina slumber party…for real! I hope Bette packs her overnight bag if she’s going to Tina’s for dinner. Another absolutely stellar update!
Thanks newagegirl :) Great chapter. I like Tina she’s so calm and Bette talking about Trisha didn’t bother her. That’s cool. Lets meet the girls!!! I wonder if Alice will feel a little bad as to allow Tina to enter the circle of friends as Bette’s partner to be. Post soon I love this story ;)
damn that was good. i hated but loved that they decided to wait ;) can’t wait to have Alice/Tina and Stacey/Bette meet!
Bummer, I was looking for help in the house. The cat pretty much owns the house and leaves living fur around. The vacuum and I becoming good buddies. That is what I get for sharing my home with a long haired cat. I love how comfortable that they are getting with each other. Tina is going to be a good addition to the family. Alice and Stacey sound so much alike maybe they should meet and compare notes on Bette and Tina.
I so appreciate your frequent updates this story is truly addicting – I must admit with such strong feelings and such intense lust I am astonished that they could stop and go to sleep. I loved the call from Em – you are so great with the truth about how much kids need parents and Bette is so great as a mother in your story.
“Emma needed you and will probably need you when we are in far more comprising positions” Ya, When? Olny kidding, that was sweet. I’m thinking Stacy will show up at dinner time or maybe at the Planet, but know she’ll end up bobbing in at an inappropiate time. Call when you can, I’m going to be in the workshop for a few hours but should come up by 10:00. Thank you, Md
toby4ever is so right. This is so like a book that I will just keep reading no matter what time it is till I’m done. Love this. I’m sure Bette’s girl’s will be happy for her once they get over the shock that Bette met someone. I can’t wait for the next update.
Pfffffffffft…yeah, right!…HA!…They’ll watch a movie! *giggle* Um…I think I’ve been reading for about 2-3 hours now, trying to catch up. I was really really really busy the last 3-4 days, and it slew me that you were posting like a mad woman every time I opened up the site! Great Great Great Story, nagster! thanks
Interesting. I’m glad that Tina is cool about Bette’s priority being her kid. Although, I do think listening to her sweet talk about her dead wife in her bed is a little crazy. However, I guess all that matters is that Tina doesn’t so.. hope the girls are welcoming.
When I saw the first post they were both up so I’m commenting on both chapters. Awwww, NAG, that was sweet and wonderful. You make us all want someone like your Tina and Bette but, especially your Ms. Kennard. She is such a lovely, loving, warm and a very genuine person. Gosh, I just love her. We will have such fun reading about them and their relationship. God, I can hardly wait for everything to happen especially for Tina to meet the girls. I know they will just love her, everyone else does. Kit will love her too and that will help the girls like Tina so much faster as well. Happy that Em could feel that she could call her mother at 2 am because she was not feeling well and also that Bette was so loving towards her. Actually I’m surprised that Bette did not go to her after that second call. Love this story. It is just wonderful. Thanks so much for posting both parts of the date tonight. PPS
You know I just love every one of your stories. While I’m still mourning the end of WOO, each of your new stories has me just as engrossed. I really love the way families are portrayed in each of your stories. Thank you for posting frequently, there’s nothing worse than waiting and waiting for somebody to post. Thanks for writing.
That was a lovely chapter.Poor Em I remember getting into poison ivy as a kid and it was so not fun. Even though they are going to take the physical part slow this looks like it will be a greater love than they had before. Hopefully Al will let the girl get used to being around them before she starts with all the embarassing questions. Post when you can.
OH WOW!!! Guess Stacey’s gonna be all over T for the gos!!! and Al all over b. u make them a beautiful couple. hope Em is okay. THX 4 posting and pps.
Drat!! I knew you would make them wait. Better to not rush things I guess. PPS!!
Mmm, this has the makings of something great. They’ve started out strong, cards on the table… Tina’s acknowledged Trish’s past importance and that the kids come first… Bette’s recognized the need to go slow. They’re gonna be fine, I hope. Now we have to see how the kids will cope once they realize Momma’s pretty serious about Tina. great chapter, NAG, thanks for the double post.
i was happy they waited… but slept in each others arms… and with Em calling in the middle of the night… loved the way bette loves her daughters and tina for not being jealous… thanks.. and please continue
I’m glad they waited. the 2 am call was a big thing, it just shows how calm and understanding tina is about trish and the girls needs to remember her. okay i can’t wait to bette and tina get settled in their relationship, cuz they will gain a set of grandparents that will make up for the lack of trish’s…love this is unfolding! :)PPS
Damn, you are such a tease, you’re killing me. Love this story, and how you are portraying B&T. BTW, I love that Tina isn’t threatened by Trisha. Hopefully on their dinner date tonight they will become more friendly *hint*hint* PPS
Lovely first date and Bette even got to sleepover. I think I’ve already read around 50 versions of B&T’s first date and this one has a different touch and charm. Thank you for being such an incurable TiBette romantic, NAG! :>
