    Author Notes:

    “That I’m leaving.” Our eyes were connected with intensity. “You know Howie….. I just can’t hide these feelings anymore, and it’s time for Bette and I to be together, instead of one day regretting that we never seized the opportunity.”

    The Adventures Of Bette Porter And Sissee Gardner Schmidt After Tina (Part 3, Chapter 4)

    PART THREE: ORANGE GROVE, CALIFORNIA

    Chapter 4

    I greeted Charlie at the front door with a warm hug.

    He was pretty much his dad’s son. He looked like Howie and often emulated him. His hair however, was not as close cropped and conservative as his dad’s. He had a lion’s mane of thick, blond hair that was always shiny clean and overgrown. He was nearly 6 foot tall with a good build. He played goalie for his high school soccer team and was fearless in his protection of the net. Academically he struggled in school but got a lot of help from numerous girlfriends. He was kind of laid back about his attractiveness and he let the girls pursue him instead of him making the conquests himself.

    As we walked to the kitchen I asked him to sit with me for a while at the counter bar. He was more introverted than Mary was and did not have much to say when I asked him what was new with him. He preferred to hear about my trip to Maui which I minimized because of the late hour. I then eased into the fact that I had something to tell him, proceeding much the same way as I had with Mary. He reacted as she had, with initial shock but that was followed with out and out anger and then denial.

    He kept shaking his head and saying, “No way, no way.”

    I told him I did not expect him to accept my coming out easily because I knew he was very close to his father. In fact, of all three of my children, I knew I would have the most heartache from Charlie. I could almost see a wall raise up between us and it made me very anxious and sad.

    It got worse when he slipped off the bar chair and said, “This is bullshit!” and stormed off to his bedroom. I had prepared myself for a negative reaction from not only Howie but from each of the children but when it actually happened, in this case, doubt and guilt reared their ugly heads and mixed emotions surface. Yet, I made myself bounce back. I was determined to go through with this.

    1. One sign of a good writer is if they can make the story seem realistic and not overly dramatic. This chapter was truly amazing. Their pain and sadness is so true and palpable.

    2. Azmama, It’s always a special pleasure to have you post here. You make me feel humble with your kind words and you encourage me to always try and do my best. Thank you very much, my dear friend.

    4. I always enjoy reading Sissee and Bette’s adventures, even though I am a fan of TLW. The stories being told here are realistic. It’s painful to see the torture inside Sissee about her love for Bette as well as her family. Why does she need to choose? Why can’t she feel love from all of them? Personally, I wish Sissee can be with Bette forever. I have doubt for that storyline because of the s/l on TLW. Thanks again Sissee for such great stories here.

    5. I feel so bad for all of them. I am proud of Sissee for going thru with it, I only hope Bette will live up to her end of the bargain & not be swayed by Tina or anyone else.

    6. cash190, Oh, I totally agree with you. As far as TLW is concerned, I hope it will be Bette and Tina forever but it’s fiction and so is this. And this is about Bette and Sissee. One thing I would never do, is post on one of the hundreds and hundreds of Bette and Tina stories here to write, “Bette and Sissee, forever!” I wouldn’t do it because it would be bad taste.

    7. Bette’s Babe, Thanks for your timely post, saying you wish Sissee could be with Bette forever. That’s what this story is all about and I appreciate your following it. You wonder why Sissee has to chose between Bette and her family. She isn’t. Her children will always be her children. Her choice is to leave Howie so she can live with the love of her life.

    8. I have hesitated to comment on this story. I am new to your writing but I know that you have written lots…….I think on the Showtime board. Anyway, I am a big fan of Bette and Tina but you have drawn me into this reality. Sissee and Howie are having a conversation that I should have had almost 20 years ago with my ex. Fortunately, we had no kids. So, I am torn between pulling for Sissee and Bette to find true love after many years and Bette and Tina regaining the relationship they had!!!!At any rate……write on! I am reading!

    9. Paula53, Now that is the sort of response I have been looking for, someone who can relate because I know there are a lot of us out there. I see by what you said that he is now your “ex” so I am guessing you crossed over that line. You apparently followed your heart like Sissee is trying to do. Please don’t be torn apart between Bette and Sissee and Bette and Tina. They are two separate stories. Yes, I have drawn TLW characters into the Adventure Story but up to this point, only when Bette and Tina are separated.. I appreciate your surfacing to post and hope that we will hear from you again. Thank you very much.

    10. Kbergin47, You are right to feel bad for everyone involved. I guess that’s why there are so many sad songs like “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do” or why there are thousands of sad country songs. It happens all over and we can only feel sorry for everyone involved. Sissee is determined to follow through with her plan. We will have to see what Bette does.
