Breakfast started a bit strange with Bette and Tina making short comments to Angie’s questions or requests. Both ex-wives stole glances at each other when they thought the other wasn’t looking. Gradually, they feel back into an easy routine and shared some laughter. Both parents teased Angie about her snoring and Angie teased her parents about being squished between them during the night. Plans were finalized for the day and Bette would meet up with her family for dinner back at the house after her campaign obligations.
While still sitting at the table, Bette and Tina talked to Angie about the prospect of purchasing a vehicle for her. Naturally, Angie had some ideas about what type of car she wanted and what options too. Bette rolled her eyes and laughed. But in the end, the parents agreed to revisit the conversation once the election was over. Bette and Angie would visit some online sites and dealerships and then narrow the choices. They would discuss with Tina before actually making a purchase.
They also discussed with their daughter about their expectations about her scholastic performance and her blossoming relationship with Jordi. Tina took the lead on some basic relationship advice as she had promised Bette she would do with Angie. Bette spoke on general behaviors and Angie’s desire and wish to work with the astronomical internship program. She promised to help Angie with using her earnings to purchase things she wanted as well as plan for expenses she would have as a young adult. Bette explained that she and Tina would purchase the car and continue to provide her a monthly allowance, but half of the car insurance premium would be her responsibility. Angie would be leaning a life lesson on budgeting.
For the most part, Angie was responsive, but put up some resistance on the finances, but she was wise enough to understand her mother’s purpose. She teased Bette about being too strict and Bette kindly reminded her of where she was living and what advantages she and Tina provided for her to enjoy every day. That got Angie’s attention and her compliance on behavior expectations was agreed upon. She was excited about the prospect of having her own car and couldn’t wait to tell Jordi later in the day.
After their conversation, Bette volunteered to clean up the kitchen while Angie took a shower and Tina changed into other clothes for the day. She didn’t have to be at the campaign headquarters for a few more hours. Angie went off to take her shower and that left Bette and Tina in the kitchen together.
“T.” Bette called her name as Tina placed the last of the leftovers in the frig. “I . . . I don’t know what to say about earlier. Teasing is one thing. But . . .”
“Bette, wait.” Tina said turning around. A hint of a smile on her lips and hope in her eyes. “It’s okay.”
“I know you want to talk about things first.”
“I do and I know you do too.” Tina replied. “Can we talk tonight after dinner?”
“Yes, of course.” Bette nodded. “I just don’t want you to feel uncomfortable while you’re here.”
“Believe it or not Bette, I don’t feel that way.” Tina looked at her ex with a calmest she didn’t expect to feel. The time for hiding her feelings was over. Time to get on with her life and what she wanted in it. And she wanted one Elizabeth Kennard Porter.
“I’m not trying to pressure you.”
“I know and you’re not.” Tina reached for Bette’s hands and stood in front of her. “We promised each other we would discuss our family and our relationship. I think we both want the same thing but we need to figure out how to get there and make it work this time for good.”
“Whatever we have to do.”
“Yes, I want this.”
“Me too.” Bette smiled, hope brightly written on her face. “Me too.”

Amazing chapter!
The memories that Tina had in the shower about Bette and her making love, hot!
They both struggle at the moment with the attraction they feel for each other, and it is good that they were honest about it to each other.
And oh, how Angie had the perfect timing to come in the kitchen and interrupt their near kiss, leaving them both frustrated.
But before they are ready to consume that part of their relationship, it is indeed important to talk first and work out how to not make the same mistakes and build a healthy relationship. They both know what they want, each other and be a family again. And to get that they have to work through the past, being honest with each other, accept and move on.
Love the teasing and flirting and how you are able to put some light moments in this story!
Thank you for the update!
Hi Collins, i have once again problems to place my comment, it isn’t coming through because i used a inappropriate word???!!! You already know what my thoughts are on this chapter, but i will PM it to you and you can post my comment if you want.
Hey Bibi,
Your comment actually did post – thanks so much for the kind words.
Yes, they are both frustrated at the moment, but need to start this critical process to talk openly about the real issues. They will start to do that the very next chapter & beyond. Tina’s reasons are coming to the forefront.
Glad that you enjoyed the shower memory!!
Thanks for reading & stay safe.
Nice Chapter, glad to see them getting closer.
Thanks for posting looking forward to more

Hey SG,
Thanks for reading & yes you are right – they are getting closer.
Honest talk coming up the next few chapters.
Thanks for following.
Stay safe & happy times to come!!!
Tina must really have been tired to have two people join her in the bed and not notice until she woke up. Either that or she is a very deep sleeper.
Nice shower memories and a rather strong reaction to Bette just entering the kitchen in her sleep wear. Makes me wonder if they can maintain control long enough to talk about anything. Maybe a few hours apart will get their desires under control. I really want to hear what they are going to talk about and what they each have to say.
Nice chapter…. can’t wait for more.
Hi Martha,
Thanks so much for reading.
Yes, Tina is a heavy sleeper. Plus it sets up the next scene!!!
True, their feelings are starting to bubble up, but restraint will win out for rightnow.
Next chapter will start to reveal issues & why Tina left plus another will they or won’t they scene!!!
Stay tuned.
Stay safe & keep well.
Hi! Thank you for the chapter!
I think Angie needs to spend less time with her aunt Alice – because seems she got her worst timing:)
So, waiting for the Bette and Tina conversation then.
Hi Zhenya,
Thanks so much for reading & continuing to follow along.
Bette & Tina will have a convo about Alice in an upcoming chapter.
All the groundwork has been set in place – the next step is coming sooooooooooon!!
Thanks so much.
Collins
Love how you are unfolding this. I can just image the carnal desire and the rational brain battling it out in both women.
Mature love looks so different because of history. When you have loved someone for years or in their case decades there is a familiarity that can easily arouse. Hope they can work it out so they can get to business. :)

Hi SuperK,
Hope all is well in your world.
Thanks so much for the faith in this story & how it is unfolding.
Lots of lust going on & those old memories that keep cropping up out of the blue & leaving them wanting that prize at the end. But patience is a good thing & the next 2 chapters Tina starts revealing some of the reasons for her behavior & how she has to make amends.
They are creative women who still love each other ‘beyond measure’ to quote Bette – so I think they have a good shot at seeing it through to the end this time for keeps.
If only we could get that in Gen Q!!!!!!!!!!!!1
A few more flask backs to come – so keep a look out for them.
Thanks again & keep well.
Collins
