Hindsight – Chapter 16
So I set about packing a bag for Angelica, bearing in mind that she gets dirty at the park and she’ll be needing clothes for the morning too, gee the text books never prepared you for the bags you would have to pack for a baby, spare clothes, diapers, wipes, bottles, a cup, her little spoon and fork, the rusks she liked to have in the evening, spare bibs… something to cover every eventuality… or was that just me covering every eventuality… I think it was a bit of both… I smile at the thought of when Bette sees how much I have packed for a one night stopover for Angelica, she always used to tell me that I had too much packed for her when we went out, and invariably in true Porter style, she usually got the opportunity of saying ‘I told you so…’, but with the comment always came a smile from her, she knew it was one of my foibles, ‘be prepared for anything’…
There was just one thing that I was never prepared for… the effect she had on me, never in eight years could I ever prepare myself for the intense and immediate effect she had, in so many different situations… when she looked at me, when she touched me, when she kissed me… when she smiled at me… there was nothing that prepared me eight years ago, and nothing that prepared me last night… she simply was the ‘Porter Phenomenon’… she swept me off my feet all those years ago…and last night… seeing her… it broke my heart…
With Angelica’s bags packed, I looked to see how much time I had left, eighteen minutes… it was pushing it if I was going to be back dead on the hour…, but I had promised…
I looked in the cupboards and was thankful for the fact I had done some grocery shopping yesterday… what a shopping expedition that turned out to be… I can’t even remember what I had bought, my mind had been a swirl after seeing Bette outside of the store, I seem to remember putting some things in the trolley and I know Henry did too, but I couldn’t for the life of me think what we had bought.

Always the best.
Amazingly well writen. Thanks for posting !!!!
Yah she made it back…I hope Tina comes home….but she is thinking about going back to Henry’s tonight. Thanks for posting Jobadge. This could go either way.
Loving this story! especially that your Tina isn’t some kind of monster, she seems pretty confused though but they are both so sweet in this story, in a kind of tragic way. Like it a lot.
Well, yeah, she has to go back, she could only carry so many diapers in one trip. She has to go back and get her own stuff, and maybe even do Henry the courtesy of saying goodbye. Who says lesbians can’t be good and boring? Pack it up and move it out of the house that was never a home. Hey Jo, I had to look up rusk in my dictionary. That Angelica sure has exotic tastes for an American kid.
I hope Tina decides not to go to Henry’s house that night. Great writing and PPS.
Ok I give, what is a rusk???
A rusk is a rectangular, hard, dry biscuit or twice-baked bread (courtesy of wikipedia). That doesn’t sound too appealing. lol Anyway I prefer Tina in fuzzy wuzzy slippers being boring with Bette too.
Geez you are good.
I can see Bette pacing and Tina’s head in the day dreams of the past. They still know each other so well. I am with skycaptain about Tina returning to Henry for the night. Hopefully, Tina will have long short talk with Henry and end their relationship. Even if she does not go to Bette right away at least move towards Bette again. You can hear the regret that Tina has for ever leaving Bette and not working through her issues that she alone had. I still belive in B&T and hope that they can take that long road towards each other.
I would like to have some monkey bread myself.
Great, Jo. I so want to see what comes next… the interaction betweem them is all I am looking forward to.
great

Lovely, just lovely. These two so belong together. Please stay Tina, and just how much did she pack?
Love this story…thanks for sharing it!
as always another excellent chapter from my fav writer. and yeah — what’s wrong with being boring ? did you know that thyey picked the actor who plays Henry just because he looked so boring ? thanks for the ” thing” by the way – i will try not to ask you again – chat soon xxx
Wow Jo… Just wow… The way you describe emotions, they are palpable in the air, lingering inbetween me and the computerscreen… I can see, hear, feel, sense, every emotion you name with your magnificent words… Thanks for this little miracle, as every chapter of this story is
Would it be too much of an understatement to say that I quite like this story? Anyway, just to let you know, for someone who’s supposed to be in retirement I managed to get over my first chapter nerves yesterday and rattled off about 2000 words of something completely different.
Lovely chapter…enjoying it as always.
Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent ! Love this kind of drama ! How talented are you ?! Thank you for allowing us into your amazing world, Jo. You’re still the Golden Goddess of Fan fiction writing.
Awww I just love your Tina, you’re showing us she isn’t a monster, just a confused girl, who has lost her way temporarily!!
Excellent as always …
There’s no question in my mind that Tina should just stay with her family tonight… call it wishful Tibette thinking, but that’s just the way I see it. Always brilliant, mate. Heart-breaking and oh so beautiful.
