    Give Me A Chance

    Of course, living under my roof was very different from the carefree life she was used to with her mother, and she rebelled. We fought all the time. There was constant tension between Shirley and I as she tried to mother our daughter long-distance. She and I didn’t see eye to eye on much; it was a bad situation. Maxine stayed out of it, but she complained that it was affecting you. Katie’s no longer wanted anything to do with anyone including you, and Maxine thought I lost interest. We were just about to get some relief with summer approaching. Katie was going to spend it in California then we received the tragic news that Shirley had been killed in a car accident.

    Katie was already lost to me, but losing her mother put her over the edge. That summer she rebelled against everything and everyone even her friends. By the time she started back to school in the fall we suspected she was experimenting with drugs and alcohol.

    I told you I wasn’t going to make excuses, but you can imagine I was at my wits end. I didn’t know what to do. I was getting pressure from Maxine about trying for another baby, yet she was accusing me of neglecting you, and I couldn’t reach Katie. It was total chaos at home, so I escaped in my work.

    I swear, up until that point I had never even thought about cheating on your mother. My time away from home was working and pursuing my political career which involved traveling and being away from home some nights. On one trip to New York, I’d finished my business meetings and I stopped in the hotel bar to have a night-cap. I was going home the next day and I was dreading returning to the chaos. I wasn’t looking for anyone, but a very attractive woman caught my eye from across the room. Next thing she’s sitting on the barstool next to me. She was a pro and I should have known better but as they say I found myself ‘crying in my beer’ feeling sorry for myself. I was the perfect target. I knew it was wrong. I didn’t particularly want it, but it happened.”

    “So, you threw everything away to fuck a whore. Is that what you’re telling me?”

    “When did you become such a potty mouth.” Melvin was deflecting as he was deeply ashamed and embarrassed by what he’d already revealed but as Tina admonished, he owed Bette complete honesty and openness.

    “Yes, to use your vernacular I fucked a whore, but that wasn’t the worst of it. I also lost my manhood.”

    “What do you mean your manhood Daddy?”

    “She gave me an STD.”

    Of all the things her father could have said, Bette never imagined this. Her first thought was had he infected her mother, but he was quick to clear that up.

    “Thank God I didn’t pass it on to your mother, but I couldn’t keep it from her. She might have forgiven me a one-night stand but not only had I broken the sanctity of our marriage; I took away any hope of us having more children together. When we found out that the infection had left me sterile, she couldn’t forgive that; not until her dying day.”

    Maxine’s last words were seared on Melvin’s heart ‘I forgive you Melvin’.

    “That’s how deeply I hurt your mother. I was weak. I failed us. I didn’t mean to. I’m so sorry Maxine.”

    1. Love when n Author takes the reader back in time because it always feels like stepping into some else skin reminding myself how swiftly lives can be re-routed to flow on a different path.

      Smooth chapter Bat

      • Zhenya, thank you for reading and commenting. Totally agree, Melvin was very irresponsible. He shouldn’t have been with her in the first place, but unprotected sex with anyone outside of a committed relationship is taking a chance.

      • SassyGran – thank you. Happy Easter to you too.

        I know it’s hard to like Melvin given his past behaviors but he is repentant and hopefully we will see some good deeds and selfless acts before he leaves us. Thanks for loyally reading and commenting.

    2. Hey Bat,

      My apologize for commenting so late. Have this week night shifts.

      Like father like daughter, both could not cope with the stress and pressure and fell prey to someone with whom they could temporarily escape. Only Melvin was so stupid to get a STD and lost his manhood and couldn’t give Maxine what she so much wanted, a second child.

      Both betrayed the woman they see as their love of their lives, but Bette fought hard and long to prove to Tina that she is worth the second chance and i am very happy that Tina is willing to work it out so they can be a family.

      Great chapter!

      • Bibi28, I just posted this last night so you are not late. Thank you for your comment as you summed it up perfectly.

        Bette will see the parallels in their behavior and their lack of coping skills and hopefully learn a lesson that escaping your troubles in the arms of another is destructive not only to relationships but to lives. She is fortunate that Tina is giving her a second chance.

        I didn’t write it into this story, but if you recall on the show after Bette cheated with Candace she also had a one-night stand that she picked up in a bar when she was in NY. I decided to use a similar scenario for Melvin.

        Thanks again for your insight and for loyally reading and commenting. Hope the night shift isn’t too hard on you.

    3. This was a fantastic chapter. Never would I have guessed the reason for the demise of his marriage to Maxine. He was a very weak man and an idiot to have unprotected sex. Can not blame Maxine at all for leaving him, she did the only thing she could given the circumstances, poor thing. Just hate that she had to be written out so soon because Bette needed her so much. You have done miraculous work writing this story and explaining everything the show did not and glossed over her childhood. Thanks for making this all clear.
