CHAPTER FIFTY ONE: One Step Away, Two Steps Back
“Are you sure she’s at home?”
“Positively sure.”
“But it’s almost nine..”
“So?”
“Didn’t the convention start at eight?”
“Yeah, again so what?”
“I’m just saying that it’s probable that Bette is already there, rubbing elbows with other future dictators of the world.”
“She’d kill you if she heard that.”
“Nah, I got it from Tina. Well anyway, I don’t think she’s at home.”
“And I don’t think she’s at the convention either.”
“But..”
“Shane. C’mon. Why is it so hard for you to believe that Bette Porter is capable of ditching the first few hours of a boring talk?”
“Cause, that was the old Bette. The new one is always present and punctual.”
“Only when it comes to Tina. And remember, Tina’s not at the convention.”
“You have a point, but..”
“Shush.. listen..”
The two girls pressed their ears to the door. They shared a look as the sound of footsteps got louder, confirming someone’s presence inside the supposedly empty apartment.
“I told you so..” Sam gloated as they both straightened up.
“Lucky guess.” Shane mumbled and shrugged. She inclined her head towards the door, a silent message for her friend to get to work and start knocking.
Doing as she was told, Sam rapped on the door and waited with baited breath beside Shane. Somewhere on the other side, the noisy creaking of old wood ceased as a pair of feet stopped their pacing around the apartment. A few moments later, a muffled voice called out.
“Who’s there?”
“It’s us.” The two girls chorused.
Once again, footsteps sounded out from inside.
“Heeeey..” Shane and Sam were all smiles as the door opened a fraction and a familiar face peeked out. Their faces registered no surprise as they took in Bette’s tired and disheveled appearance. They expected to find their friend in no other state after receiving word of last night’s events.
“Hey.” Bette smiled faintly. “What are you guys doing here?”
“Figured that you haven’t left for the convention yet. We come bearing gifts.” Sam lifted a brown take out bag and shook its contents, letting the delectable aroma of fresh bagels and jam waft towards Bette’s nose. “We brought bagels and..”

I am with Stormyone on this!!! Great Chapter!!! Have fun on your trip!!! Please Post when you get back. Thank you
Tina, and Ken, is a piece of work. Bette and Melvin met their matches.
Great chapter as always:) PPS
Tina should at least *try* applying to Yale… nothing like having a choice… besides, never mind USC, what’s wrong with Stanford, anyway? Everyone can stay in Cali at least… (yes, it’s not “Ivy League”, but surely a reasonable compromise?) I wonder what the girls’ fathers are up to? Is Melvin trying to convince Papa Bear Kennard to let his only child study at Yale? I can’t wait to see what happens. Enjoy your trip and thanks for the chapter. Cheers!
Always glad to see this story! I agree with stormyone also. Didn’t Ken move to Cali for Redwind so that Tina had the best chance at a great school (not saying that USC is bad). Hopefully Ken will lead Tina to do the best thing for both her and Bette. Have fun and PPS!
I think that Tina and Bette will settle thing their own way. It will all work out in the wash. Together they will do the right thing for each other. Enjoy your trip thanks
I REALLY love this story. every time i read an update i laugh my ass off … I sure hope Melvin doesn’t put some foolish notion into Ken’s head about Yale!! Bette and Tina are capable making their decisions without parental conflict!! PLEASEEEEEEE keep posting :)
That was awesome and funny as always, glad B&T are work thing out and good now. Melving and Ken are trying to be friend and hope they not do anything stupid to mess B&T up. Please post more, thanks! Have a good trip my friend!
love this story… when i read i can tell bette really loves tina… that she is willing to chance schools for her… but i do think tina will end up going to yale… (The dads are talking and i have a feeling daddy porter is going to foot the bill)… which is ok… its sending a message to bette and tina that he is approving of their love… great job… and please i do hope you are not going to end this soon… take your time and keep posting
Talk about a cliff hanger!!!!!its good that Melvin and Ken are sort of being friendly to each other but its even better that Bette and Tina are sorted out their problems……i was so happy when i saw that a chapter got posted today.PPS thanks!! Btw i hope you enjoy your trip
I love this story…I think that our lovely Tina needs to swallow her pride, and give up a dream once in a while and go with Bette’s dream. Bette is always changing things about herself for Tina, in good ways, but love is love, and sacrifices need to be made by both woman. Hope they stay together, always.
Why did I have a feeling Melvin was gonna stick his nose in where it deosn’t belong. Hopefully Ken tells him that he’s not going to get involved, after all at some point you’ve gotta let your children make decisions on their own, forcing them to do something just doesn’t work. PPS
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Now afters 2 weeks, I will finally get some sleep. Thanks for the post. Guess the dads will be discussing Yale? Or perhaps order ice cream instead? Have fun on your trip tomorrow. Post when you get back.
