Chapter 48
Melvin Porter dropped the latch on the front door after Emma, Bette and Tina had left. He walked through to the sitting room where Rosemary was pouring herself a brandy
“Would you like one ?”
“Yes – it has been a dinner party that we won’t forget in the hurry “
Melvin sat down and accepted the glass that his wife handed him. She sat in her usual chair and for a few minutes neither spoke. Melvin finally grinned
“You were not expecting that were you ?”
“Hell no – were you ?”
“Well I did think that it was inevitable that she would cotton on to the two of you playing matchmaker “
Rosemary shook her head “I didn’t expect anything like that – the way they are together “
“She seems very taken with Tina “
“Wow – that is some understatement – she is besotted with her – the way she was looking at her and “ Rosemary shook her head again “ I haven’t seen her like that “
“They seem happy “
Rosemary sighed “There is something that is bothering me “
“What ?”
“I overheard them talking – it seems that Emma had got hold of the notion that Tina was seeing Helena “
Melvin frowned “What ? Is this true – does Bette know ?”
Rosemary held up her hand “Take it easy darling – from what I picked up Emma saw Tina and Helena having lunch a week ago or so and jumped to the conclusion that there was something going on – which might explain why she was suddenly so reluctant to have Bette and Tina meet tonight. I wonder if she didn’t want them to meet because she wanted Tina with Helena “
Melvin wasn’t pleased at what his wife was saying
“So Helena is a better option that Bette ?”
“It appears that the three of them were supposed to have lunch but Bette’s business got in the way so Tina and Helena had lunch – clearly witnessed by Emma”
“That is a mercenary thing for Emma to do – suddenly our daughter wasn’t good enough ?”
“Melvin – I am sure it wasn’t like that at all – she got an idea in her head – the most important thing is that Tina has other ideas – which is that she loves Bette and is very happy with her. I heard Tina telling Bette that nothing was going to come between them”
Melvin smiled despite himself
“They do look very sweet – Emma does not come out of any of this well “
“I know – it seems to me that she wanted a girlfriend for Tina and wasn’t bothered whether it was Bette or Helena “
“Bette said that they had been to The Bahamas to stay at Peggy’s new place and Tina made a hit with her “
“I can see that – Tina is very sweet and charming “
Melvin sipped his brandy and savoured it before he spoke
“You know darling that Emma for all her admirable qualities was always a first class snob”
“I know – and suddenly the millionaire hot lesbian looked more appealing that the just well off gallery owning hot lesbian “ Rosemary was more unhappy than she had let on to Melvin. It had been obvious by listening into their conversation that Tina and Bette knew all about Emma’s duplicity and were worried about it – -that bothered her. Would Emma be fully supportive of their relationship or would she try and undermine it. She was determined that nothing would hurt her wonderful daughter and it was clear that the one thing that would deeply wound Bette was anyone trying to damage what Bette was building with Tina
“Bette has always been her own woman – she is fiercely independent as we both know to our costs and it looks like Tina is fairly free minded as well – they have got on with their relationship by outsmarting their parents and just dating without the inevitable questions and prompting that we both know they would have suffered. “
“I want to make her welcome Melvin “

I am not only interested that the Story is not even half way through yet, I am DELIGHTED!!!
Looking forward to regular posts, we’ve been promised Snow for tomorrow here in the Derbyshire Peaks so may not be moving far!

Like Sassy, i am Delighted too this story isn’t half way!
Great chapters and i am very happy to see that Tina stands up to Emma!
And i mentioned it before, i like this Helena, she really is a best friend to Bette and i do understand Bette’s need to protect Tina and her need to talk with Emma, but she must listen to Helena and let Tina handle her mother.
Looking forward to the next chapters!
This chapter is really good. I understand that Bette wants to put on her armor and mount her horse and charge after Emma. But she needs to listen to her mom, James and Helena. Support Tina in her efforts to sort things out with Emma. Tina is becoming more self confident and will make thing right with her mother as long as she knows that Bette is supporting her. Being the supportive partner is what Tina needs and wants. If Bette interferes or goes too far, Tina will think Bette thinks she is too weak to fight her own battles. Bette needs to take her clues from Tina and not proceed without Tina’s approval. Tina appreciates a knight in shinning armor, but this battle is one in which Tina has to lead.
Rosemary may have stumbled on the real secret of Emma’s behavior. Emma does not think that Tina is good enough for Bette.
Now that Tina has called her mother out on the lie about the Potter dinner, I await Emma’s response. Will she confess her true reasons for not inviting Tina to the dinner after Rosemary had specifically requested her to do so? Its time for Emma to be truthful with her daughter and stop hiding her underlying motivations. Tina has drawn the line in the sand. Either Emma get on board and support Tina’s relationship with Bette or there will be little or no relationship with her mother. That is a strong statement. It shows just how determined Tina is not to let Emma interfere with her relationship. I shows Tina has gained a lot of self-confidence in herself and her belief in this relationship as being the one she wants for the rest of her life. This should actually impress Emma and make her see that her behavior has not been conducive to a good mother/daughter relationship. Its time for Emma to humble herself and realize that she has made a terrible mistake by not treating Tina as the adult she is and respecting her life choices of work, clothing, how she drinks her beer and who she associates with is no longer in her control.
I love…love this story. I cannot wait for the chapter…but I guess I will….Thank you.
Love this story! And so excited to hear it is not even to the half way point. Just wondering how Emma is going to create a mess for our lovebirds. She may be a courtroom wizard but a disaster as a mother!
This story keeps getting better and better. By Bette providing support, love and perspective, Tina has grown exponentially in terms of self confidence and discovering her self worth. I would rip the throat out of someone who threatens or treats any of my family or friends. However some battles need to won at home before you win the war.
Great chapter. Your mind is gold.
Just half way great I love it.. and I think I saw chapter 50 on one of the pages.. lol. I’m glad all is out but we are still in the dark as to how Mother dearest is going to go. Happy or wicked.. not sure why at this point she would be wicked.. her Daughter has found someone and happy . That leave what kind of drama are you going to through at our couple if we are only half way.. lol thank you be watching for next post
I love this story. So glad we are not even half way done because that means there is more, much more to come. I think Emma has more drama to add to the mix and I hope Bette puts her in her place. Love Tina becoming more confidant. Lets get her a big girl job… and I say that with tongue in cheek as I sit typing on my non profit laptop in my low paying social worker job, lol
PPS
Interested would be an understatement! Every chapter is such a treat and pleasure to read. I just like your writing and way how you develop a story and the characters. And I definitely love your Tina and Bette. So I’m looking forward to many more chapters :-)
As for these chapters: I’m with BK, it’s great to see Tina becoming more confident. I’m confident that she’ll find a way to handle Emma and improve her relationship with her mother. Without Bette stepping in.
Looking forward to the next posting.
Nice chapter
