Chapter 29
James waited about a half an hour after Bette left before he went back to check on Angelica. He for his own part was just as curious as anyone else about Angelica’s life. He had always thought so much of Tina, when she left so suddenly James had always wanted to know more. Thinking he might do more good then not he ventures in.
Angelica is still hard at work constructing wooden frames fulfilling the plan to then have both Bette and Angelica work together to stretch the canvas over the frames. When Bette builds her own frames she additionally likes for the linen of the canvas to be white washed with a base coat of oil white wash and letting them dry before proceeding any further on the journey.
For him, James has built many frames and stretched them all with canvases for Bette. He knew how she liked them, the perfectionist she was. Bette was old school in that now a days there were sprays that could be used to size the canvas after its stretch but Bette insisted on using the white wash. She said it gave her a fresher view on the possibilities.
Angelica looks up when James walks in, “Hey”
“Looks like you’ve got the hang of this frame building thing pretty well.” James offers as an observation watching Angelica wheeled the electronic brad nailer.
“You think they look OK? I just want Bette to be happy with them.” Angelica offers before picking up the last pieces of framing material left to be put together.
“Oh I’m sure Bette is going to be thrilled. She gets very particular about her frames and you’ve done a pretty good job here. I should know I’m the one who gets her wrath when they are not up to snuff. But alas it will have to wait until tomorrow for her to inspect them. Some emergency has come up and she had to leave for a while. She has asked me to give you a choice. You may either stay here working with me for the rest of the day or I’ve been instructed to drop you off at the Sk8. Which is up to you?” James asks seeing the disappointment cross Angelica’s face at the news that Bette was gone. “Now I know I’m no Bette Porter but I’m no chopped liver either. I can be fun, show you interesting things. It’s not a total loss.” James says playing to Angelica’s sense of guilt. He really wanted her to stay with him.

yes, they need to talk…waiting for more
What a treat! Happy Thanksgiving, indeed. I like how you gave us a different perspective with the interacton between James and Angelica. Now I’m a bit sad that Bette had so much support the last 16 years and Tina did not. Hopefully, everyone can rally around Tina; remind her of their support of her – and Bette; them as a couple. Any chance of getting a “bonus” post today, as it being a holiday?! Have a great day, watch lots of football and eat lots of turkey. Enjoy!
Happy Turkey Day Jwet! I’m at a loss for words to express how much I’m enjoying this story – please don’t rush to the end unless you have another up your sleeve ;-)Thanks for taking the time to entertain us.
Thanks for such a fine Thanksgiving treat. Let’s talk soon.
I just discovered this story!!! I absolutely love it ;D I think it is so sweet and shows a very diferent Bette. And getting the chance to see Angie as a grown up it is sooo good!! Please continue =D and update as often as you can. You got a new fan ;)
caught up. now i can go home from work. yes, like hack girl said, dont rush. this is too good. hope you had a good day yesterday. thx
that was great and now let them talk!
ah…hopefully they can talk. i like how james is spending time talking and listening to angelica. looking for more because we can be greedy today…lol
You have sucked me into this story, and I eagerly await each new update. I really like the feel of the more mature Bette and Tina and hope you will have time to flesh them out individually and together ( I think that may be a hint to continue with a long story if ,you want to that is.) Thanks for taking the time to share your story and today’s update. (Of course turkeys take a hours to cook so maybe you could sneak in another update? or maybe later when everyone is asleep on the couch? )
What a nice surprise to see a post this morning. I like the interaction between James and Angie as well as Bette and Tina. Hopefully, they can talk some without it getting out of hand. Is Angie thinking of a little match making maybe? Wouldn’t that be nice. :) Happy Thanksgiving! PPS
I’m so into this it’s crazy, I can’t wait for the next post. I just wonder on how Angelica is going to react to seeing Tina again and eventually finding out that they used to be partners. She will put it all together knowing that Bette should have been her other mother.
James is too cute. Hopefully Bette and Tina can really talk now that Tina has calmed down. Thanks for this treat today, and may you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
What a wonderful surprise to see a chapter today. Thanks so much for posting today. May you and your family have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. Now that Tina has calmed herself maybe they can get on with a little talking about what has happened as they know it without Angie’s input as to how she came to be in CA. Hopefully they cna talk about themselves since Tina has already made an overture to their past. Does Bette have any pictures out anywhere that shows Tina in it, maybe something she has forgotten to put away. Can we prevail upon you to post another chapter before the weekend after you have sated yourself with a wonderful meal and visiting with friends and relatives. Thanks so much for posting today.
Your story is wonderfully written and thank you for taking time out of your Thanksgiving day to write for us. I love the long chapters but like anything really good, I can always do w/more. Anticipation…….
This was a pleasant surprise. “James gives Angelica a queer look asking what she meant.” He he, just one big queer happy family! Gobble gobble.
what a wonderful way to start the day. thank you for this little treat. love James! can’t wait for more interaction between B&T and ultimately the three of them as a family. Happy Thanksgiving!
OK JWet, I am back again. Refreshed adn ready to comment of this latest posting.James and Angie together were adorable. James does seem to understand how to get the best from Porter women. He left some little seed of thoughts with Angelica, gently nurtured them and left them to grow. Angelica is beginning to appreciate that her mother has a past and perhaps things didn’t go to plan then and have affected ever since. Finally these pieces of the jigsaw of Tina’s life are falling into place. Once you have had a great love everything else pales into insignificance. Bette and Tina have sub-conscientiously trying to rediscover this with others and quickly realized that no-one else does compare. Tina and Bette were so tender and funny together again. The heat of Tina’s anger had diminished and she was able to relax in Bette’s arms. Their friendship ignited and old habits returned. I know this will be a long road but one i will folloe until the end. There will be bumps and dips; highs and lows; surprises and mysteries. All good things as love returns; stronger and deeper than before. JWet, I trust your skills and talent explicitly. Thank you for giving me the gift of this journey. Your Most Loyal Fan and Dear Friend.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, J!
Reading through this story a second time allows me to pay more attention to what is really being said and what is going on around the different characters. I look forward to more of this wonderful story.
Hey JWet, As ever we are of a similar mind it appears. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family, friends, turkey and all the trimmings. Yep, we don’t have Thanksgiving is Scotland however Sunday night is St Andrew’s Day, He is our patron saint. So this weekend it will be Haggis, Neeps and Tatties for me and the family. You never know and may a wee dram or two.OK, back to your terrific tale.AS ever you are just so speedy with your posts that the following comments really cover the porevious chappie. I am off home now so will try to comment on this addition (once I have read it) later.Wow weeeeee! What an entrance Tina made. The She-Lion was back and ready to fight for her club. Shame that Tina believes that Bette is capable of taking her child away. I do realize that this thought came more from Tina’s fears than Bette’s intentions. I did marvel at Bette’s calm and comforting stance. Wrapping her arms Tina to soothe her pain was awesome.Just loving the heart and sould you embody all these characters with. They are real flesh and bone people. Love ya. So much thanks that words don’t truly convey them. Your Loyal Fan and Dear Friend.
Hey Jenny, hope you have recovered from Thanksgiving, I give thanks every year that is just before the weekend allowing for extra recovery time. This story has had my attention for well over a year and I’m still on the edge of my seat. I’m feeling a nice Christmas preasent comming on. Thank you, Md
