Chapter 29
Bette walked into Tina’s apartment at 7:30 Wednesday night.
"Sorry I’m a little late," Bette said in apology.
"I had time to do some more work," Tina replied, setting the script down on the table. "Something I won’t have to do tomorrow."
"Have you eaten?"
"Soup and salad," Tina started. "But I put everything away since I had it so early. Let me put something together for you."
Bette approached Tina and leaned in for a kiss.
"I can do it," Bette replied. "As long as you don’t mind that I’m in your kitchen wreaking havoc."
"I bet I can have your dinner ready by the time you change," Tina offered.
"You don’t want me in your kitchen," Bette said.
"You do tend to use more dishes than necessary," Tina admitted. "I could clean up your wake if you insist on being the meal preparer."
"Go ahead then," Bette laughed. "I’ll change and be right there."
She returned, dressed in jeans, t-shirt and a light zippered jacket, with the sleeves half way up her forearms. Instead of loose around the shoulders, her hair had been pulled back into a ponytail.
Tina had already set a spinach salad on the table.
"Soup’s heating up," Tina said. She placed the container that stored the soup on the drying rack after having taken care of washing it.
Bette walked up behind Tina and put her arms around her mid section before leaning in to kiss where Tina’s neck met her shoulder. Tina briefly dried her hands before turning around to face Bette. Her arms went up over Bette’s shoulders and they stood quietly together for a moment.
"I’m a little nervous about meeting your parents," Bette finally said.
"You don’t need to be nervous," Tina replied. "My mom’s going to like you because I love you, and as cantankerous as my dad can be, he’s mellowed with age. I know you’ll win him over too."
"But you’re his little girl," Bette said. "No one’s ever going to be good enough for you."
"Well, that’s true," Tina agreed. "But he actually doesn’t get to decide who’s good enough for me."

Once again, nobody can overcome the Porter charm. I’m so happy that Bette won over Tina’s parents. I love the way you write how these two communicate. Superb update!
Yeah I am glad the meeting with the parents went well also. Kudos to Tina’s mother for taking the 1st steps and seeking out Bette. Love this story.
Everyone is so grown up and mature in this story. Just delightful! It is early on but they want to please each other b/c they realize the love they share is real and to be nurtured. Love Tina’s comment, “”You never see anyone’s faults early in a relationship,” Tina said. “The endearing idiosyncrasies of early days are what turn into annoyances later.” So true. Those cutenesses become more pronounced and annoying as one ages. Very perceptive, swimmie. :-)
Anne seems to really like Bette, while Tom seems a bit more reserved. A lot of parents don’t seem to trust that they’ve raised their children well enough for them to have the good judgement to pick a partner that at the very least isn’t a jerk, but one that will also treat them well and can make them happy. I don’t think Anne or Tom have anything to worry about with Bette. Thanks for posting and have a great weekend. :)
Thanks for the update. Lovely story
Well that went well. Love how everyone’s getting along. Thanks for 7 pages and have a great weekend. :)
Nice warm chapter. Bette seems more than ready to have Tina move in.
Awesome post swimmie 🐠 thank you!
Loved it–what a great chapter!
Seven pages of awesomeness. The meeting of the parents went very well. Good for Anne for taking the initiative.
For the life of me I will never understand why the writers on the LWord did not anchor the B&T storyline/characters in the evolved and provocative way you do jks. Why they could not show one positive couple going through life and solving realistic problems together is beyond me. Thank you for rectifying their short sightedness jks!
loved it…just loved it. thank you
Omg that was funny horrible pics !!!!! Love the update
Lovely thank you
Thanks God,this went well.Thank you again for this amazing story.What about a few more chapters ?Pleaaaase !!!!
Wonderful chapter Swimmie. Tinas mother was sweet to contact Bette first to break the ice so to speak, and she did a fantastic job. However Tinas father did not like them picking on his Angel, I thought that was sweet, protecting his baby girl. Great update. Thanks for posting.

Wow things are moving along swimmingly! Thanks for the sweet update. I wonder if Melvin will pop by for a visit when he hears Bette is going to shack up with Tina…
Is there any way we can convince you to write another 32 chapters of this story?
