Feelin’ The Same Way
“Shall I start?” I ask Bette.
“Be my guest.”
“I was seeing a man called Eric at the time. He loved art, and going to The Bette Porter Gallery. You see, your ma had a reputation for throwing these parties that all the movers and shakers went to, and somehow Eric managed to get himself an invitation to one of these parties.”
“That was a mistake on my part. Eric wouldn’t have known what moving and shaking was if it came up and bit him.”
“Anyway, don’t be mean to Eric, if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t be here now.”
“Tina, he wore a yellow tie to the dinner. That is just wrong.”
“Because we were at the cutting edge of fashion, what with you and your asymmetrical haircut.” I laugh.
“Tell me about the haircut.” shouts Angelica.
“Don’t encourage her if you want to see the benefit of your college fund.” warns Bette, darkly.
“OK, enough about the haircut. So Eric asks me if I would like to go to a party at the gallery and of course I say yes.”
“What did Eric do for a living?”
“Angelica, you know the answer to that question.” I reply.
“Yes, but I’m waiting for ma to give her withering response.”
“He was a lawyer Angelica. Let me give you a little piece of advice about lawyers. Only talk to them if you have explored all other options and it really is the last resort.”
“And I thought that you had so much respect for Joyce Wischnia.” I say, grinning.
“Who’s Joyce Wischnia?” asks Angelica, intrigued.
“And moving on.” says Bette, encouragingly.
“So Eric and I turn up at the party, yellow tie and all, and the first person he introduces me to is your mother, and I have to tell you, she was absolutely breathtaking. So confident and she had this air of quiet authority about her that was just so hot.”
“OK, enough of that, you’re making your daughter feel uncomfortable.”
“Sorry. After the introductions Eric gets straight down to business…”
“Eric got straight down to business in more ways that one.” smirks Bette.
“It you keep that up you won’t just be paying for college, you’ll be paying for years of therapy as well.”

So funny and cute! Thanks for this lovely chapter.
nice and sweet. great job as usual.
Empty Nest will set in and the crying for Angie will be so hard on both Moms . So funny and cute love it/ thanks
Excellent!
Amazing and love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice
Very nice. And I’m blushing at the reference. Thanks, cg.
ROFL This dialogue was too cute and funny! LOVED the tiff_duke “Chandelier” references too. I remember when I went off to college my mom said that when she and dad were driving back home it felt like I had died. I know that’s a pretty dramatic way of putting it, but it’s bound to feel that way to parents who only had 1 child. I think this will hit Bette harder than she’s willing to let on especially after having to work her ass off to get Tina back before the Henry fiasco happened. It didn’t look like you only spent an hour or less on this. =)
This is such a sweet and cute piece. Just love it! Great job.
a few bumps in the road for sure…nice job!
So you are a fan of Star Wars, and Pat Benetar. Remember we must not diss David Bowie or we may be kicked out of the room. This is so cute and very loving. You get to see how happy both Bette and Tina are and how much they love their daughter. Angelica is every bit like her mother’s. I hope that you will continue with this. At least I know that Bette and Tina are together.
Well girl, that was good, a nice variation on the theme. Despite the sadness of the impending seperation, the couple had a nice, easy, sweet way about them. Man, Pat Benetar! That sure conjures a particular time.
cool
This was very sweet. Those three make quite the combo plus one. Thanks.
So glad you decided to post this story, thank you for sharing with us. I hope Ilene is reading and taking notes for the next season.
Love the grown-up Angelica and her mothers reminiscing. The B&T story, even as a vintage saga, holds as much power as ever. Thanks for ‘knocking up the happy fluff’!
Very Sweet! My favorite line: “And then the thing with the earring happened.” shouts Angelica, and I’m quite sure they heard her in the next street. ….. Thanks for the great post!
Sweet. Thank you.
You took every detail from their first meeting and made it so memoriable. Thank you
Absolutely loved this. It was light and fluffy like a wonderful pie crust… and it came with just enough filling and sweet but not TOO sweet. Thanks so much.
