Chapter 46
Bette stood in the gallery, admiring the pieces, admiring the layout and lighting…, all her own work and sometimes it was just nice to stand back and take stock of the Bette Porter stamp. Because this gallery was very Bette Porter.
She stopped at a large picture. She stood back and folded her arms, cocking her head to one side as her eye was drawn to the subject she had passed nearly every day for the past month. The angle she was standing at wasn’t one she had looked at this image at before, but it struck her.
It was different. The light gave an ambiance from an angle rather than the brightness of a front view, but her eye was caught.
The reflection on the smear free, highly polished glass brought a smile to her face.
Tina was walking through the heavy plate glass doors and Bette watched every step in the reflection of the glass.
She continued to watch the reflection, watching how Tina naturally interacted with the receptionist, speaking to a couple of customers who were near the entrance.
Tina looked up, she sensed it rather than saw it.
Their eyes met in the reflection.
Bette watched as Tina excused herself from the couple she stood with and slowly walked in her direction.
She didn’t turn, she didn’t move but her eyes remained transfixed on the glass and the woman she had fallen in love with coming towards her.
Tina smiled as she approached, “nice picture…”
“I like it more from this angle…”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I’m seeing things in it that I didn’t notice before.”
“I thought you had a trained eye?”
“So did I, but this morning there was something that kinda came alive in this picture just a few moments ago…”
Tina’s hand moved discretely to Bette’s bottom, her fingers gently trailing the curve as she leaned closer, “deep breaths baby…, deep breaths…”
Bette chuckled, instantly knowing the words reflected their attempts at prolonging their love making only a few nights before, “I think we need more practice.”
“Oh most definitely, but I have a meeting in about ten minutes…”

I’ve so missed this story. Thank you for posting. I love it. Thank you :)
I have been waiting for an update. So glad you posted.
Tina’s not the only one who loves a vulnerable Bette! Fantastic chapter, Jo. I had to reread the ending several times as it was just so perfect. Always look forward to your posts, no matter the time in between.
Ahh..This was more than worth waiting for…i think one of my favorite parts was Bette watching Tina through the reflection in the glass..it just came across as a special moment..and well we all know how important the “Toothbrush” is!..im kinda hoping that its only a matter of time before Tina has a whole drawer or even a closet at Bettes home!lol..This story has always been beautiful.. :) Thanks!
I am glad to see that you are still posting. I can understand Tina’s need to move on even if she would rather not. Glad that Bette is bringing Lily’s work to the gallery, it is one of a kind.
The toothbrush thing really got me…so sweet! PPS:)
That was wonderful and love it. Please post more, thanks!
Great to see a new chapter Jo, thanks for posting this wonderful story. I know I’ve said this before but I do love the way you write and portray “our girls” and the love they have for each other. Just a simple phrase Tina loves Bette and Bette loves Tina, so simple, yet so powerful and beautifully written by you. Have a great vacation.
It was the best of times. I’m happy the good times are back. Thanks for taking me on this well written ride with you.
As always, an extremely tender portrayal of love and partnership. Thanks mate! xo
I love this story!! PPS

Beautiful.
Hello there, dear sweet Jo! You know we are always delighted to read your story. Ah, it is like having the most exotic and sweet dessert, prepared by you. It has been our fav, from the very beginning. All the details you have added to B&T’s romantic moments, make our hearts melt. Have we mentioned that we are hopeless romantic ladies, as well? Yep. We are. Thanks for updating, dearest friend. You made us sighed, deeply, at the end of the chappy and we have this huge grin on our faces. PPS Big hugs & tender kisses on both your cheeks. – Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick and Tias Adoradas to Patpez)
Great update
OK, so I’m slow. I have a good excuse. I packed up and moved a couple of hundred miles. I was a little busy and without internet. Now I have internet and my aches are subsiding. Now don’t make us wait for the next chapter so long. I think they need to celebrate some stuff.
Hi Jo, Wow ee what an exciting cchapter. Bette and Tina just connect on so many levels. There was joy at their reunion. Followed by confusion and distrust. Then clear-headedness and love to finish. Good to see Bette listening to Tina and appreciating the wisdom and sense her girlfriend is making. The gift was special and significant. More please of your wonderful and magical writing. Much gratitude from Your Loyal Fan.
Jo…catching up on my reading and so glad to see this post! It just always amazes me the way you can pull me in with words. thank you. pps
I guess you could take that as an ending.. but feels like there could have been just a little more… great story. Sad but real feelings that came through. Thank you.
