Fall in Vermont Chapter 12
After lunch they headed to the gallery. Bette was really excited to
show Tina what she had been working on since leaving the CAC. As they
pulled up and parked behind the gallery Tina was already impressed with
area and the building exterior screamed Bette Porter classic and modern
in blend.
As they toured around the gallery Tina was really impressed with the
collections and two exhibits Bette was featuring about post modern
Fauvism. “Bette you have done an amazing job, when do you sleep?”
“Thanks T, that means a lot to me but I have been fortunate to have two
excellent gallery directors here and in Rome. They make my job easier”
Suddenly Tina felt a hand covering her eyes and voice whispering “Guess
who?” in her ears and she could not believe who it was She hearing, she
turned to give James a huge hug. “James I cannot believe it’s you” Tina
and James shared a warm memorable smile.
“You didn’t think I would leave him at the CAC did you?” Bette laughed.
“Who else is going to be my right and left hand” “If you don’t mind me
saying so I’m surprised to see you too” James looked at Bette and Tina
searching for answers he was really shocked Bette had not said anything
about Tina” “And who is this beautiful little lady?” James bent down to
greet Jessie. He looked up at Bette and could not believe how much she
looked Bette and Tina.
“James this is my daughter Jessie” Jessie smiled she liked James
instantly. But she was also starting to look a bit sleepy which was not
going unnoticed by Bette. “Tina why don’t we let Jessie rest a bit in
my back office while I show you more things about the gallery.”
Bette’s office was on the second floor of the gallery. It was more like
an apartment suite complete with a bed and changing room in the very
back. They put Jessie down for a nap and she did not fuss she was
clearly tired.
They relaxed in the front of the office on Bette’s sofa which had an
amazing view of downtown L.A.
“Bette this is a great location and look at your view?” “I’m glad you
like it T” Bette brushed Tina’s hair back from her face. Looking at
Tina was intoxicating for Bette it was still hard to believe she was
right here. Tina could see love in Bette’s eyes and she could not
resist Bette’s lips. It was a slow and tender and kiss. They both
slowly explored one another’s mouths and lips, moaning lightly at how
good it felt to be together. Bette reached for Tina wanting to feel
more of her body pressed against her own.
It was a long and steady series of kisses each more yielding than the
last. “Baby it feels so good to taste you?” Tina said with her breath
sounding short. “I know it’s so wonderful to have you here. You make
life seem real again” “What do you mean Bette?” Let’s just say I have
been in a daze in many ways for years but there is something about
being with you this week and over the last few month or so on the phone
that made me feel and see again”
“Bette can I ask you something?” “Of course Baby anything” Tina rubbed
Bette’s nose with her own at being called baby again. “What about Devon
is making you tense?” Bette exhaled a deep breath she did not
completely understand the feelings herself but tired to explain to
Tina. “I don’t know Tee I feel protective about him coming in Jessie’s
life but also I guess I’m a bit jealous that he will always be her
birth father” “Yes he will but he’s not her parent Bette” Bette slowly
nodded her head understanding what Tina was saying but the look in
Tina’s eyes said more she was almost searching in way.
“By the way Ms. Kennard I was wondering if you had plans for New Year’s
Eve?” “Why Miss Porter are you asking me on date?” There was a
mischievous smile from Bette. “Yes I am Ms. Kennard” “I would love to
spend the evening with you what do you have in mind?” “That my
sweetness is a surprise” Bette winked at Tina and their lips met in
another soft kiss.

I hope Devon is smart enough not to cross Bette in trying to be in Jessie life. Then Tina will set him straigh on who the real parent will be. Doe he have the money to take her to court for rights to Jesse. Bette has more. . Thanks for posting.
What a light touch you have with them. I love the texture of their love for each other. It comes through in how you write. Thanks
Oh my goodness, this is just wonderful. I am so happy that there is someone out there that wants them together again and with a family. LOVE IT. Just keep Devon out of their hair and lives. I think he could be a problem for them. Let Bette adopt her before he gets the idea to insinuate himself as the second parent. This post was wonderful, THANK YOU THANK YOU. Post soon please.
What a delightful chapter but Bette needs to beware of Devon.
Love it! Patiently waiting for next Friday, or whatever day works for you!
Beautiful Chaka! Just perfect!
This story is so incredibly sweet. I can’t wait for Tina’s surprise.
I agree with so many of these comments that have been placed here about your story. Jwet’s comment about the texture and flow of the characters rings true for me also. Your style of writing helps the characters to leap out of the written word and into a screen of their own (even if that screen is in my own head). Take it easy and I will wait for your story whenever you can write. Thanks!
Wonderful! Delightful! Why is Bette suspicious of Devon?
Well Ms. Chaka, I was thinking it was late and I should go to bed, but then I saw you had posted, so I had to read. Glad I did. Keep Devon on a short leash please. Don’t let him try to usurp Bette’s place as parent, OK? Otherwise, everything’s just grand.
Awwwwwww this is so sweet and amazing. You are amazing Chaka – the way you write is so fantastic and wonderfull, I love this…..Sorry to hear about your lack off time to write, but post what you can and I will definitely read :o))……Oh by the way I totally understand Bettes hesitation towards Devon, but I hope the 3 off them will work it out….Have a great weekend and thank you for this :o))
I hope Devon doesn’t cause any trouble. I think Bette’s jealousy could die if she expresses her wish of being Jessie’s other mum and Tina agrees.
this chapter is great, i love that B&T are getting together slowly…i hope devon won’t try to contest his parental rights…
Thanks for posting this wonderfully long chapter C…I know how tired you probably were by the end of this!! I agree with everyone else and hope that Devon doesn’t try to contest anything!
sweetttttttttt becareful tina watch out for devon
I’m a little apprehensive about Devon myself. Chaka…Have I told you how much I love Friday’s. I hope life doesn’t get in the way of your writing too much…thank you for this story!!!
This makes my Fridays bearable. Thank you!
sheesh thank goodness that Tina had pares drawn up. so devon can’t claim to anything!!!! UPDATE SOON…YA HEAR!!!!!!
I see no problem with Devon wanting to spend some time with Tina and Jessie as long as he remembers to keep some distance.
That was an amazingly beautiful chapter. I can understand Bette being apprehensive of Devon’s desire to be in Jessie’s life. When he was looking at Jessie, he kept seeing her as his “daughter.” He wants to be in her life, but in what capacity? He agreed to be a donor, but I think he’s going to want to be an active figure in her life. I think Bette senses that is where he’s leaning towards. Love how B & T are taking it slowly and reconnecting. Thanks so much for this lovely chapter…later.
