CHAPTER 16
For the next hour, they settled into a nice flowing conversation. Tina asked Bette about the conference, and if she knew San Francisco well. They also talked about Alice, Tina now feeling confident to ask more about her friend’s mother. They even evoked the blooming romance between Carmen and Shane, and shared their joy and tender affection for their friends who were obviously falling in love. They didn’t linger too long on the topic though, both afraid to venture onto unsafe territory.
Of course, what undeniably prevailed during their talk were the subtle fleeting glances they stole everytime they thought the other wasn’t looking.
At one point, there was a lull in the conversation and they fell into a confortable silence, both sipping their wine. Then suddenly, Tina looked up at Bette and asked,
"What are you doing tonight?"
Bette was stunned. She certainly wouldn’t have expected such a question. But Tina was smiling and seemed totally at ease with it.
"I, huh… I was going to try and catch a plane back to L.A."
"Why don’t you come up to Walheim with me and spend the weekend?" Tina offered with obvious excitement in her voice, "I’m inviting you… You could meet my grandfather."
Bette was speechless. A whole weekend… With Tina… She didn’t know how to respond to that…
"I, huh… I don’t know…" She mumbled.
Her head was spinning with the turmoil she felt inside. She… She had to get back, she had to prepare for her trip, she… she had to be lucid about the whole situation and stop clinging to every more minute she could spend with a woman she would never have…
But her heart was racing at the idea of following this woman to her beautiful home… Meet the man who had raised Tina, have dinner with Tina, spend the night in the same house as Tina (Well, okay, maybe THAT wasn’t such a good idea…), wake up knowing that Tina would be there for breakfast, spend the whole day tomorrow with Tina, talk to Tina, laugh with Tina…
Her heart was racing at the idea of just being with Tina as much as she could before she had to let her go from her life again…
The same Tina who wouldn’t let go… And tried to convince Bette with all her might.
"Come on Bette, my grandfather will be delighted. And tomorrow is Saturday, it’s the weekend, so you can’t say no to me." She gently argued.
‘You’re right, I can’t’, Bette thought.

I knew it! and Tina is so gone already, she’s gonna have to make some decisions after this weekend! PPS
Tina Pappy will fall in love with Bette just like his Grand daughter
Tina is so in love with Bette. Too bad she is still married to Helena because it is Bette that holds her heart.
Bibbity bop!
yay!!!!! thanks for posting. c.kennard u are going to fall in love with bette like ur little child haha. its all in the family. ppvssssssss
but of course, how could Bette not win everyone’s heart…
Oooooh, our Tina is completely smitten ! That’s so cute ! And I knew Pappy would love Bette. How could he not fall under the spell of Miss Porter indeed ? As a matter of fact, how could ANYONE not fall under her spell ? This was a very very beautiful chapter, K. Loved it !
Come to think of it, how is Bette going to break the news to Tina that she has to leave for Santaragua ( or whatever was the name of that place the little boy was from ) for an indeterminate period of time ? And how excruciating is it going to be for her to have to leave now ( no matter how passionately she loves her job ) ! I can’t wait to read more of this !
That was great!
