Part 15

Eventually Bette came back in to the lounge and took the jibes and remarks made from the whole gang (Jenny and Dana had got up and been informed of the night’s events by Al). Bette was completely mortified; she said she would never have sex again…Especially if al was in the house. 

Of course no one took her seriously

Everyone eventually went home and Bette and Tina went to the brunette’s house to enjoy a lazy afternoon with Angelica, Bette was in her element, she insisted in doing everything for the tot. Tina let her take over the duties, understanding that in the brunette’s own way she was trying to make up for lost time. The blonde was so grateful that her lover appeared to be revelling in her newly found parenthood.

“Tee I cant wait for my father to meet Angelica! He’s going to adore her!”

“Mmm..Sure he will babe” Tina said then added a “Not!”  Under her breath,

“Can we take her over to see him this week?”

“If you want to babe”

“Great!…Wait till we tell him she’s officially a Porter!  He will be really proud!

Tina looked at the brunette…who was so perceptive…so intelligent.. Yet when it came to her father she was blinded…Blinded by love and adoration.  Bette could not see that Melvin was a ignoramus, and just like her mother, Melvin was sadly a bigot into the bargain.  The only difference was the blondes mother was upfront and candid with her views,  she at least admitted that she found her daughters orientation sickening..Melvin chose to ignore his daughters sexuality completely. It seemed as if his mindset was like… if he didn’t acknowledge the fact that his daughter was gay, then it wasn’t really happening.. Bette wasn’t having a relationship with a woman.  Tina grimaced when she thought about all the time’s he had been horrible to her, he refused to call her anything but “Miss Kennard” she would have rather he ignored her completely than refer to her by that title. It was as if she wasn’t anyone significant to Bette…As if she was not of any importance in his daughters life. What would he refer to Angelica as? Miss Kennard’s daughter? She shuddered at the thought….
