    Chapter 1

    Fucking traffic!

    I had just interviewed Gwen Stefani at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel for my next Lunch With Sissee column for the L. A. Post and I was trying to get home on the circuitous freeway routes headed south toward Orange Grove when the traffic came to a virtual stop.

    Thank God for air conditioning. It was a very warm, April day.

    I turned on the radio. Loud, thrashing music suddenly blasted the air waves. I was in no mood for that noise. Nothing is worse than midday traffic in smoggy L.A. where you feel trapped because you are trapped. I needed something more soothing.

    I changed stations and heard a melancholy voice singing,. “Love is funny or it’s sad. Or it’s quiet or it’s mad. It’s a good thing or it’s bad………..”

    It was Diana Ross, from her Blue album released in 2006, full of old classics. I knew it well because Bette and I had it. It was nice to slow dance to when we were alone in our apartment and felt like doing a little cheek-to-cheek. They were playing Diana’s “But Beautiful” cut now.

    I leaned back and waited for the cars to start moving again. Hearing that song made me think of my Bette. In spite of the frustrating feeling of entrapment around me a slight smile appeared on my lips, making me all warm and fuzzy inside.

    “Beautiful to take a chance and if you fall, you fall and I’m thinking, I wouldn’t mind at all……”

    Oh, I fell alright. Did she have me that first and only time we slept together at Yale in Connecticut or later that year up at Mammoth Lakes, in California, when we ran into each other? I was there to write a story for the Travel Section of the Post. She was there as a buyer for an Art Gallery with her boss.

    Back in Southern California we communicated and then she went with me on an assignment to Mendocino. Oh Sweet Jesus how fabulous was that? The sex was so sweet; it tasted like more. Newport Beach? TiJuana? Venice? Being in those places with her and encountering our special amorous adventures…..mmmmm…… well, it surely was a very beautiful time. It was like the song was playing, all about falling in love and being in love……

    1. Love it, love it, love this chapter, Sissee the writer. The idea of Kyle being so supportive of his mother made me smile. The thinking and feelings of Sissee the character re: her precious memories while with Bette all through the years also made me smile. I am not a music lover, but it is nice to read the lyrics of those songs – so in tune with Sissee’s thinking of Bette! Please post soon.

    2. Bette’s Babe, Gee, what a nice way of summing up the chapter. Thank you very much for all that. I’m sure glad that you’re one of my readers who helps motivate me along.

    3. I just love how you’ve painted Sissee and Bette. Their lyrics and music meld together creating a beautiful song. I love, love love how they support each other. One love.

    4. thx for the new chapter..beautiful beginning or i should say continuation to a lovely series…always awesome writing..anxiously looking forward for the next post..too good

    5. kbergin47, Thank you for those nice comments. There was an attempt to bring things up to date because that chapter was written after TLW’s 2007 series.

    6. I can’t believe Tina is being so amiable, I’m so glad I jumped into this story. I need to do some catchup now that I know they end up happy together. I’m a need to know the ending kind of girl!!! Tks

    7. Honda90, Please remember that this is not TLW . I am only borrowing the characters and the Tina in my story is smart enough to know that if she gives Bette a bad time about Angie, it could hurt the child who loves both of her mothers. Thanks for being here. I appreciate your continued comments.

    8. Hey gum! Thank you for your comments. Yes, it is a continuation and just trust me, this 2007 series is jam packed with adventures. Forgive me if I say that I can’t wait to reread it myself! Smile.
