Talk to Me of Mendocino ~ Chapter 7
Angelica slipped away to one of the rough-hewn wooden gazebos that lined the multileveled paths cut into the cliffs surrounding the lake. She moved far from the lodge and hoped no one had followed. She sat in the solitude of the wooden structure looking at the lake and, as darkness approached, she thought.
She glanced at her cell phone and saw that its reception signal was three bars. She missed Jodi and her heart still ached. Yet she remembered when her mothers were together and how, for years of her childhood, she hoped that they could all be together again. Twice, it had her birthday wish when she blew out her candles. Since it was her fantasy, she had never burdened it with practical matters, such as where Raph and Meka would fit in when her own mothers reunited. If she had, she probably would have said that they could be the ones to travel between their Mommy’s and their Mama’s houses.
Following her mothers’ second split, the one when she was six, almost seven, and old enough to understand, Mama T had gotten her a kitten that stayed at her house and Mama B had gotten her guinea pigs that stayed at her house. She had princess beds at each home, pink and white at Mama B’s and pink and lavender at Mama T’s.
Then Mama B got Raph, who got to stay with Mama B all of the time.
Angelica remembered that she had hated the new baby. She laughed at the memory of the day she was working behind The Planet’s counter with her Aunt Kit and heard a couple waiting for their coffee order and talking about the trouble they were having adopting a baby. She remembered thinking that they needed a baby, while her Mama B had one too many. She watched the couple closely and, when they left, no one was looking, so she had wheeled the Raph’s carriage outside and caught up with the departing couple. She told them that the baby had been abandoned at The Planet with a note that said to give it to a loving couple. She then gave Raph to them. She had been sent to therapy the next day.

I absolutely adore this story…thank you.
i think every chapter of this story so far has left me on the verge of tears. i think that angie’s skepticism about love is brought about by the knowledge that neither of her moms ended up with their one great love. but hopefully it is not yet too late. this story is sooo good. thank you, spumoni!
i don’t know why this chapter made me sad, but i love this story and the humor and the sadness and i’m not confused anymore LOL still hoping for happy tibette…can’t wait to see grown-ups showing up
Thank you for writing this story!!
Tina with a sting of starlets… while that image intrigues me, it also makes me sad for her. Angie must wonder why her mother never went after Bette before Jodi came, and so do I. ;) Maybe during the coming days she’ll find out, and let go of some of her skepticism. Really good, Spumoni. Thanks for the chapter.
Thanks Spumoni! As always, you’ve done a magnificent job I don’t know that Angelica’s childhood dream is so foolish. Unless she also has memories of her mothers’ lives together being a constant train wreck, which I doubt, the dream will still be there. And it sounds like now, there may be hope, though I suppose Bette has to be fast-forwarded through through some stuff (mourning), which I seem to recall you commented recently to BetteAndTinaForever might be possible in a few hours? OK, different scenario but still … :D
IMO, one’s first, true love is never forgotten.
I’m with helloergo, nice image of Tee ;) Cool and sad at the same time. Glad I’m not confused anymore. Thanks!
A multi-millionaire type A Tina who doesn’t apologise for dating a string of young starlets half her age?….excellent! I love it! :)
Hi, dear sweet Spumoni! It was interesting to have Angie’s thoughts, sharing how her life was affected by her moms’ decisions and choices. It seems Tina has been unstable on the emotional side. Bette, on the contrary, has been more grounded and true to her convictions. In the end, Angie has come to terms with her brother and sisters. But it seems that as far as relationships is concerned, she has not been fortunate to find the right person for her. Now we are wondering how B&T will act when they meet again. Perhaps it is time to have a heart to heart chat. We believe there have been things unsaid along those years apart. Thanks for updating this wonderful story, dear friend. Can’t wait for your next installment. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks.- Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick and Tias Adoradas to Patpez)
