Cure-all, Chapter 14
Alice had not left her mom’s side for weeks until Ann had finally started to get better. Of course, this tragic event had led to a permanent reconciliation and Alice had tied a strong friendship with Bette, the person who had brought them together… Tina always knew that her friend had forgiven her mother, but Alice had never said more about it… Until now.
Carmen had seen Bette a few times, mainly to talk about a certain sailor of course, but Tina had never dared to quiz her about the brunette. Although she was dying to. She just knew that Bette was very busy with her work and that virus she was working on. She also knew from Helena that her cancellation the night of the dinner was due to a work-related emergency. Tina couldn’t help but worry about her. According to Carmen, her work was taking most of her time… ‘well, not all of her time…’, the young woman had added, ‘Guess what Tina, our dignified Porfessor Porter actually just started taking ta…’ But just then, a phone call had interrupted her. A phone call from Alice who wanted to hire her as a model for her magazine. Carmen had jumped through the ceiling with excitement and Tina had never heard the end of that sentence.
She had read Bette’s book. Twice… And each time, she had absorbed every single word with passion. She felt that if she analysed every word, every phrase, every sentence, she would maybe get to discover some secret truth about Bette. A secret truth unknown to everyone else but her. Or perhaps even a mysterious code that would open the gate that led to her soul…
And to her heart…
The outstanding view that welcomed her at the top of the hill she had just reached allowed her to store the hazardous thought at the back of her mind. For now…
She pulled over and got out of her car. The valley was offering a wonderful panoramic of colorful vineyards that stretched as far as the eye could see. The hills and trees that punctuated it made the whole picture even more stunning. She breathed in deeply and smiled… She was home.
Moments like this always made her think of her parents, and each time it was as if time had decided to suspend its course for her. She closed her eyes and in the large panel of wonderful memories of a time filled with laughter, butterfly kisses and bedtime stories, she picked one. Just one. For today. For this moment. To help her go through whatever would come next. To help her understand what this was, that made her feel so lost and vulnerable.

Hope Tina tells Bette why she came. That he just wanted to see her. Take Bette to visit Pappys vineyards.
what twisted little situation our Tina is in, I mean on hand you have good decent partner not to mention wealthy and on the other side you have fate, destiny, other half of your soul..Hey the heart and soul what it/they want. And right now they want Bette. Pappy would be so happy.
i was going to complain that they didn’t meet this ep. but i guess they did:P! :) thanks PPS
OK, well, I realize you did post a longer chapter this time, but did you have to leave us hanging like this ? Aren’t there some kind of tacit rules that say “no cliffies after 13 chapters” or something ? Damnit !! The frustration !!! Think I might go do some yoga now… LOL ! Ok, just kidding. This was great, K, but as you can see, we can’t wait for B & T to spend more time together… and talk without risking being interrupted again… Just the two of them, you know… Although if nothing or no one interrupts them at some point, I’m afraid they might not realize that several days have passed and they haven’t eaten or slept. Hahaha ! Speaking of funny moments… So Katel speaks Yiddish, huh ? Hehehe ! I love the idea ! I can totally picture her chastising her sheine maidele for not informing them she was coming home for the weekend. Certainly, she would have prepared her room, cooked something fancy… Well, besides les crêpes au Kirsch. Ooooh, you know what ? Now that I think about it, I’d love to see Bette and Tina getting tipsy from too many crêpes au Kirsch. LOL ! I mean, think about it, if Bette were to get a little drunk, she would have to spend the night at Tina’s grandad’s place, right ? OK, I’m getting a little carried away here, we’re definitely not there yet. I’d better stop rambling and go to bed now. Very nice chapter, K. Thank you !
Well at least she doesn’t have to sit through a lecture, instead maybe then can spend some time together! PPS
Ah, I love to see a plan come together. Post soon! Thanks
So loving your story. Absolutely delicious. PPS
was Bette also late for her own lecture? (lol).. I won’t mind at all you posting a longer chapter and soonest (haha)..
Now that is the way to run into the woman of your dreams. Maybe soon, Tina will stop lying to herself and others about this obsession with Bette Porter.
well, at least bette was still there and maybe it’s better that to sit through a lecture before having one-on-one LOL
Poor Tina, what a dilemma. She’s got to follow her heart, right? Right? Pappy’s going to love Bette me thinks! PPS.
Oh in Bettes arm – More, more, more please
well now she doesn’t have to sit through thelecture… and who else would she run into… great story… bring it on babe.. we are here and waiting…
