Starting Over (34)
Chapter 34
Tina and Bette had spent a wonderful day, evening and night together. They acted as though they hadn’t seen each other for months not just two days. Work was difficult but they enjoyed their moments together and savored their unbelievable connection as they worked. When they arrived at Bette’s house they barely spoke. They just let their bodies melt together. They spent a passion filled night and then fell asleep wrapped in each other’s arms.
They dressed and moved about their morning moving as always in sync with each other until they had to say goodbye.
“Babe so don’t worry, okay. It’s going to be fine. Just be yourself. Just remember how much I love you, okay?
“I’m okay T. I’m just a little scared.”
“She’s just a kid Bette. Don’t worry. I better go.”
Tina leaned and gave Bette a tender kiss.
“I love you.”
“I love you, too. I’ll see you in a bit.”
“Bye.”
“Bye”

Today they would begin working on hanging the show for the Benefit. Bette was framing and setting up displays. Carpenters and electricians would be in to set up displays and lighting. It was usually Bette’s favorite part of the job, but today was different. She was a wreck.
Bette and James had the plans for the Benefit laid out on the Gallery floor and were walking through the plans when Tina and Ellie walked in.
“Hey guys, we brought coffee and some goodies. Can you guys take a break?”
Bette beamed at the pair.
“Hi guys. A break sounds wonderful. Come on in here.” Bette said as she gestured toward her office.”
They all walked into Bette’s office and Tina quickly set the items out on the coffee table. Bette turned to look at Ellie.
“Ellie I’m really glad you could come by to help today. You seem to have a really good eye for art and we could really use the extra help. Thank you.”
Ellie just kind of looked at Bette.
“Sure.”
Bette went on to talk about the Benefit. The kid’s artwork they’d be using and the setup for the event. She was glowing. Ellie continued to give one word answers and barely made eye contact with any of them, but Bette continued on. After they finished eating and had planned their day it was time to hit the Gallery. As they were leaving Tina pulled Ellie aside.

Totally wonderful. I love that you post frequently. The story really flows. It helps that you write really well. ;-)
Awww How wonderful! I’m glad they are all getting along!
Another successful chapter, everything working out well for the two love birds. Ellie’s reaction to Bette scared me a little, but it was all for nothing. Thanks for the post, I bow in your greatness.
Great Update!!! I am glad Ellie is opening up alittle with Bette. Thank you PPS
Shouldn’t they be at the house by NOW??????????????
Porter’s Charm went well, I guess. .. thx a lot for your update :)
yhey yhey yhey! i like how this plyaed out.
Fantastic update. Thank you :)
loved it. just the right balance of awkwardness and acceptance from ellie. love how you show how deeply in love B&T are with all the little details. keep up the great work!
Gosh at last Ellie chilled out lol. They had a great time at the gallery and the night is not finished yet great. PPVS
This chapter was fantastic. Even though Ellie has accepted Bette and Tina’s relationship it will still take her a little time to be completely comfortable with it. They all are making good progress. Wonderful chapter. Thanks for posting.
I was anxious for Bette. How would Ellie take the interaction? I think you did a wonderful job. If Ellie totally fell over Bette it would seem so unrealistic. It would take at least a day to get adjusted. Wonderful story of mature relsationships.
Great interaction btwn them…
I thought for a while there, that Ellie was being a typical sullen teenager, doing that “trying-but-not-really” thing, with the one word answers and general silence. But Bette never stopped trying and Ellie’s warmed to her a bit, and I’m sure it helped that Ellie is starting to see just how much Bette loves her mom. As always, great chapter, DnA. Thanks for the post. :)
I guess I wasn’t too surprised at Ellie’s reaction. She and Tina are close, and she just found out her mother was disrespected in her marriage. Bette was so funny being so focused on impressing Ellie that she didn’t notice anything going on around her. I love this story, and you write so well.
Thanks for this post. Bette was so adorable trying so hard to make a good impression on Ellie. I love to see Bette in her overachieving mode. It’s a very endearing part of her personality.
Great, T got B to stop working and later maybe to stop talking. Really enjoying this and the interview retelling was fun.
This is melting my heart by the chapter that im so scared of all the happiness!
