    Tina had been amazed when she first saw this magnificent home Bette had purchased in Silver Lake when Bette had moved back to the LA area after their divorce.  Space had always been a need for Bette, the grandeur the better she would say. “Let everyone know we’ve got it.” Bette would smile, looking around at what she owned. Tina had come to believe that it was a part of Bette’s character to show to her father that she was as good as he had hoped she would be. She wanted to prove that she was hugely successful and was just as good as Melvin.

    Bette’s long running need for her father’s approval had always been a source of contention in their early relationship. Bette had tried everything she possibly could to convince her father that her being gay was just a part of who she was. It was in her DNA and she couldn’t or wouldn’t change for anyone, including Melvin. Kit had wholeheartedly accepted her sister and her lifestyle and everything that went with that loyalty. Hell, even David, Kit’s son, had finally accepted his Aunt Bette and Tina and embraced them and Angie. They had rebuilt a great relationship before Kit had died.

    Tina recalled the dinner that she and Bette had had with Melvin where Bette had loving told her father that she and Tina were expecting their first baby, a son, and he would soon have another grandchild. Stubborn as always, Melvin flatly denied that their baby would ever be his grandchild. Bette had been devastated and Tina had excused herself and left the restaurant not wanting to get in an argument with Melvin over this situation. As it turned out, Melvin never had to deal with that problem as Tina had a miscarriage with their son a few weeks later. Melvin had died just a few weeks short of Tina giving birth to Angie when she and Bette were trying to repair their broken relationship.

    Reflecting back to that time, Tina thought how far Bette had grown in her regard towards her father. She no longer looked back at him with those rose colored glasses to hide his faults. The blinders were off in regard to Melvin and his condensing behavior towards Bette’s personal life and her relationship with Tina.

    1. Well, Bette is still interested in Tina. But is Tina interested in Bette? Does not appear so thus far. Tina has booked a hotel room not too far away. Bette has evidently informed everyone she is still interested in Tina. But with Tina, its all business.

      Keep it coming. Thanks for this chapter.

      • Hi Martha,

        Thanks for your comments.

        Rest assured that the affection and profound love that our fav couple have for one another has not faded,
        It still burns bright & will become more of the story as additional chapters are posted.

        The time line for this story is the two weeks prior to Election Day – so its a bit of a slower process than all at once.

        Lots more to come.

        Thanks for reading & please enjoy the rest of the story!!!!!!!!!!

    2. Great chapter!

      It isn’t often that i disagree with Martha’s comment but i think Tina still has deep feelings for Bette. And i have hope they will talk and are able to rekindle their relationship.

      I like Pierce, he is a good assistent to Bette and that he pointed out to her that Dani has feelings for her.

      The talk Bette had with Dani was honest and to the point. Let’s hope Dani does something with it. She knows now for sure that Bette will never see her as something other than her PR manager. Dani should be open and learn from Tina.

      Granny Porter, so funny ☺️ I like the banter between Bette and Tina!

      Looking forward to the next chapter!

      • Hey Bibi,

        Happy Monday!!!!!!!!

        Thanks so much for the comments & insight. I truly appreciate it.

        B&T relationship is still there – but like Jennifer & Laurel said, they have to earn it!!!!

        They will both recall some saucy memories of their relationship over the next few chapters & explore their past & present connection.

        Pierce – I thought how the writers just had him walk away from the campaign & not even talk to Bette about it was very poor writing. So I utilized his character for a better purpose & to be the guide that Bette needs in this campaign. To me, Dani was over her head with just the PR stuff as she really wasn’t a team player & seemed to keep both Bette & Pierce in the dark with a good deal of her campaign activities. So I didn’t feel comfortable with her “taking over” the campaign if Pierce left.

        As I mentioned before, I wasn’t impressed with Dani’s character or the actress who portrays her. Too one dimensional & lacks emotion & empathy. Yes, very much like the Bette of OG season 1, but lacking the charisma & depth of character to pull it off.

        Yes, hopefully Dani does pay attention to the wake up call.

        Yes, Bette turned the table on Tina with the “Granny” comment!! Great fun.

        Thanks again & will post soon!!!!!!

    3. Thank you for the update!

      But still don’t see clear the reason why they divorced. If the only reason that Tina needed the space – why divorced& Why not try lived separately but still be in the marriage? Or Bette already had her eyes on Felicity?

      • Hi Zhenya,

        You welcome for the update!!!!

        I think most of us would not have had Bette & Tina divorce if we were writers on the show. But they did & I chose to follow that story line for this book.

        I will have Tina talk about her reasons in the next few chapters as the time line moves forward. Remember, in this story, we are still on the day that Tina has arrived back in LA. So a lot more to come.

        I don’t believe that Bette was involved with Felicity before she & Tina divorced. Bette herself has said that Tina was & still is the love of her life.

        I am thinking about writing another story where Bette & Tina don’t divorce & they separate instead. We’ll see.

        Thanks for your interest.

        Take care & stay safe!!!

    4. I do believe the love is still there between Bette and Tina. I get the sense that Tina is not trying to rush like they’ve done before and failed.

      • Hi Trecelovinit,

        You are absolutely right – the love is still there, but guarded at the moment.

        Tina has a lot of explaining to do & forgiveness to ask for from Bette & Angie.

        There is a sweet memory from Bette on the horizon for Chapter 4 that I hope you will like that provides some direct connection between our fav couple.

        Patience is key.

        Thanks for reading!!!!

    5. Still catching up!

      I feel the love Bette and Tina have for each other coming from the page but am pleased you’re not rushing them back into a relationship.

      Glad you sorted Dani out!

      Enjoying it, thanks

      • Hi SassyGran,

        Thank you so much for reading & following this story.

        I was motivated to write it based on what we saw on Gen Q & how disappointing that was.

        Our fav couple has a lot to work out yet & that can’t be rushed – lots of feelings, emotions & actions to explore & resolve.

        Dani is too big for her britches & needs to learn from others who have far more experience than she does. I thought it was such poor writing by the writers to allow Pierce to walk off the campaign for Bette. That wouldn’t happen in real life. Just crazy. So I reworked the situation & had him remain in his position = you’ll see that in later chapter.

        Thanks again & stay safe. Saw that you were isolated from your family & friends – we are here in the states as well..

        Until the next chapter!!!!!!!!!!

        • Hi,

          Agree on both your points re Dani and Pierce.

          Start 9 weeks of solo isolation tomorrow and getting fed up with my own company:-)
