    Chapter 22 – Election Day

    “Yeah, sure, let’s mingle.” Bette nodded. “I can’t stand around here and watch a computer screen for another hour. I need to stay busy.”

    “Well, okay then.” Tina reached for Bette’s right hand. “Let’s go mingle, honey.”

    Bette instructed Dani to alert her for major updates and explained she’ll be back in a little while to check in. They quickly said their goodbyes for now and exited the small room. Bette and Tina interacted with supporters as they strolled among the crowd, smiles all around. They caught up with the rest of their family and spent some time chatting too.

    Angie joined her parents and stayed by their side the remainder of the evening. She and Tina wrapped arms around each other when Bette was called away. In quiet moments, Angie was starting to feel the twangs of sadness with Tina’s upcoming departure back to Toronto. Two weeks ago she had told her mama that she missed her very much when they weren’t together and the same would be the case this time also. Like Bette, Angie would feel the emptiness in the house and in their lives with Tina away again, even if it was for only three more weeks this time. Angie wanted to soak up as much time as she could with the time left with her mama.

    As for the election, Bette and Milner traded leads the rest of the evening. Dani and Pierce shuffling back and forth with updates and data information. Bette and Dani’s heads bent over the PR manager’s tablet scanning numbers and percentages. Dani’s assistant, Riley, keeping track of districts won or lost on a large LA district map on one wall of the ballroom.

    Then Jason came looking for Bette to join Dani in the side room again. Bette caught Tina’s eye and motioned for her to follow. Tina nodded she would and suggested to Angie to stay with Shane and Quiara while she went to meet with Bette. It was getting late in the evening and Tina had a feeling that this could be the time for the final numbers to be reported. Tina met Bette in the doorway to the room and they entered together, hand in hand.

    “They just said that district 7 will announce their results in a few minutes.” Pierce stated as the couple entered the room.

    Dani was already in front of the large TV scene. Riley standing to her left. Pierce and Jason huddled together and standing close by. Bette and Tina holding hands. Both taking deep breathes and then Tina squeezed Bette’s hand in support.

    1. You are so right that this does seem so far in the past, but I’m a sucker for good Tibette writing!

      Now you know that I’m going to have to reread this entire story to get my Tibette fix!

      Thanks

      • I’m with U!

        Appreciated the inner dialog Maya had as she remembered when she was fixin’ to test the waters of a Bette Porter splash . . . but . . .Tina . . .

        • Hey D,

          Yeah, wishin’ & hopin” just didn’t get it done for Maya. Like BP always says – ‘It just doesn’t compare.’

          Thanks for reading & taking the time to comment.

          See ya on the next posting!!

      • Hey,

        Thanks for the comment. I really didn’t expect any feedback since this chapter was originally posted a few years ago, but it’s so nice to know that readers still enjoy it.

        I know I have at least one more chapter to write on this story & hope to get it done soon.

        Thanks for the kind words & I hope you enjoy the entire story if you should choose to read it again in its entirety.

        • Yes, please don’t forget that last chapter or two!!

          I love Tibette in this story and how you’ve expounded on the GQ themes.

          I’m off a few days together this coming week and will be engrossed in this story. Bless you!

      • Hi JW,

        Thanks for reaching out.

        Remember, that the rest of this novel has already been published/posted.

        Please read on if you like & enjoy the angst & love story that will unfold.

        The last chapter for the sequel is on my radar to compose!!

        See ya on my next posting!!

    2. love these two women as you have portrayed them – such selfish love for each other. No one else will ever fill the need- desire in them like they both do for each other.

      I really like the family scenes, especially when Angie is finding her way in the world and her two mom’s are there guiding her along.

      Sweet moments.

      • Hey,

        I’m okay – sorta!! Ha!!

        Looks like I have a small fracture in my right shoulder from a fall – oops!! And of course I’m right handed – ha!
        Hopefully I won’t need surgery – follow-up with surgeon in another week.

        Anyway, this was a repost of this original chapter – there are a lot more chapters to this story. They’re listed above in the drop down box. It disappeared from the original listing – not sure why, so I reposted it. So, take a look if you need to catch up to get through the epilogue & sequel chapters.

        The entire novel just needs a final chapter to complete the story.

        I’m actually posting an update to DOH by tomorrow – so look for that.

        Great to hear from you & I hope you’re doing ok.

        • It’s been a month sense your tumble has rehab/PT been helping?

          Both rotator cuffs have been injured on my “earth suit” and an assortment of aches & pains are hollering a spoiled toddler . . . but what can I do???

          Dive into the adventures of the black beauty right?!!!

          • Hey,
            Thanks for asking.

            Fortunately, the doctor discovered that I actually didn’t have a torn cuff – it was a small bones fracture & extreme inflammation with my arthritis in that shoulder.

            So, the pain has decreased & I’m doing mild therapy. So far – good.

            Enjoy that black beauty!!

            DOH update will be up in a few minutes. Check it out.

            Thanks
