Hindsight – Chapter 24
Main Entry: hindsight
Pronunciation: ‘hIn(d)-"sIt
Function: noun
Meaning: understanding the nature of an event after it has happened
"Hindsight is always better than foresight"
“What about… uh… what about Hen… uh… Henry…?” she asked me.
I took a deep breath, it was the thing that had been plaguing my mind, yeah…, what about Henry… fuck… what was I going to do about that or rather… him…
“I don’t know…”
And I really didn’t…, I had known for a while now that things weren’t how I wanted them to be, granted he was a ‘nice’ man, but did I want ‘nice’… did I want to be treated properly and not taken for granted, to be appreciated… of course I did, but did all those things add up to making me happy…
To a point I was… okay…, not unhappy…, but not contented…, not fulfilled…, and what did I do about it…, until now nothing, but I couldn’t honestly say I had a plan already hatched in my mind as to the course of action I wanted to take…
“I’m here for you T…” her words broke my thoughts, and the words settled in a place deep within me, how could she be there for me after all I had done to her…, how could she even want to do that…
“I know Bette, but I’ve already hurt you so much…”
“Tina…, please… don’t shut me out…”
“I’m not shutting you out, I just don’t know what to do at the moment, I am so messed up that I just need… some time… does that make sense…?” My head was in bits and my heart seemed to be matching it… and every minute I had spent in her company today had given me a two steps forward three steps back feeling – the things she said brought some of those severed pieces of my heart together, and yet only moments would pass and I would see the pain in her eyes and those reunited pieces would shatter apart once again…
“Yeah… it makes sense…” she told me with a smile, but if that was the case, it was making more sense to her than it was to me.

1st… brb
If you could have seen my eyes when I read the summary…a part of me was like YES! Then a part of me was like it’s too soon for that. This was a short chapter…I need more.
this very silent reader would like another chapter ASAP Please.
god Jo, is there any way you could be coaxed into posting slightly longer one pagers…..any way at all????….thanks
i was really excited with the tilte too.. then it was like sh*t. theres are way toooo short but thanks for the update.p.p.s.
“so easy to please…such simple creatures…” LOL!!! Poor men…but it’s true…wow, I’m so glad I’m gay sometimes…
God, still so good… You have me sitting attentively at the edge of my chair and almost falling off when it ends. I love this slow treatment… I think I’m a sucker for the torture though. Need I say, yet again, how much I adore this?
And then what happened? PPS
Jo, finally got to read your story …. Wonderful isn’t it!!!! Can’t wait to read the rest… post again soon!! Writing is awesome …oh by the way congratulations on the awards last go round!!! Thank you (crawling back under my rock)
Jo….We need more. I was elated to read the summary and then……. not enough woman. PPS.
Dang Jo, so happy for the update, but I want MORE!You are the quite good and this story intrigues me every chappy. PPS
It seems to me that Angelica is the member of the family least needing to be sorted. I was listening to Joni Mitchell’s “All I Want” while reading this and it seemed apropos: “I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some”. I think Tina should call a porter, or maybe a Porter to help her with all her baggage.
It will always start at the Bette Porter Gallery. That is the beginning of the ending. The ending of Tina’s boring life and an awakening of sorts to one Bette Porter and an end to Bette’s lonely journey to nights of Tina on her mind. Now all that needs to happen is for Henry to disappear and some real soul searching on Tina’s part. She is taking that step in the right direction. I just hope that she will continue with those steps back to her family that consisted of Angelica, her and Bette.
I’ve a feeling the clarity of Tina’s hindsight is about to become razor sharp… I really want to see what she remembers next chapter (I hope?), so I hope it’s soon! Thanks, Jo.
Oh boy, are we in for an interesting next chapter! Tina giving her point of view on sex with Porter….. Is it tomorrow yet?
Love, love, love! this story…and as always, this silent reader is eagerly anticipating your next chapter…great job!
Tina’s inner monologue made me think back to when I was dating men. They were all easy to please (except one once in awhile due to medical reasons), but they never pleased me at all. That’s definitely not fair to either party. Me because I’m not getting off, and him because he could be thinking his technique sucks. Maybe their techniques DID suck, but my mind usually was never there. I could just block it all out. But men are the past and women are the present and future. I definitely can’t wait to step into my own version of The Bette Porter Gallery.
Ok, that was way to short. And then Tina thought……. Where’s the rest? PPS
I knew you weren’t “going there” in this chapter, but that was cold to leave us there! At least the next chapter is here already (I’m playing catch-up), so I don’t have to wait long for the next phase!
“Such simple creatures” LMAO!!!!
Bette in sagging Levi’s….would still be good enough for me. Thanks for the post
mmmmmm more soon pleaszzzzz
Favorite line of this one- “such simple creatures” LOL Anyway can’t wait to read about her experience once she entered the Bette Porter gallery – just love the flashbacks. Post soon.
Uh, jo … we need more! :)
Let see more, so good!
