Bette folded the newspaper and lent back to look at her mother while she sipped her juice from the bottle. Rosemary looked at her daughter – she looked relaxed and content.
“Seen your young woman today ?” Rosemary asked
“This morning – seeing as she made us breakfast in bed “
“Nice “
“It was excellent “ Bette replied inadvertently displaying the goofy look that had been under debate that morning. Rosemary found that if Bette wanted to talk she just had to wait and the flood gates would be opened.
“She’s a very pretty girl “
“She’s beautiful “ Bette said
“You do seem able to date the most beautiful women in New York “
“Tina is the most beautiful woman I have ever dated “ Bette corrected her mother
“I love her very much “ she added in a softer voice
“I can see that babe “
Bette was silent while she struggled with her emotions – she had kept so much from her mother over the past few weeks – things that all seemed to be bunched up demanding to be told
“I love her very much “ she repeated
“The two of you obviously have found something special – I am delighted and despite everything – I will be claiming my share of the credit “
Bette laughed and managed to get a grip on her emotions – she rubbed her face
“I think we can allow you a small share “
“Your father was very proud of your clever denouncement of us “
Bette smiled “Just came to me “
“Well it was funny and boy you had me worried “
“Until I kissed Tina “
“Yes – that finally was the moment when I realised we had been done by our daughters and you had got together without our help. I am not sure you had to kiss for QUITE so long “
Bette smiled “We got carried away – sorry “
Rosemary grinned “I was teasing you darling – it was lovely to see that the two of you are so comfortable with one another that you can kiss like that in front of your parents “
“I just wanted you and dad to know that this is real for me. Its blown me away “ Bette began “It started with me just wanting to find out what was going on and so I looked up the website. When I saw the picture of Tina and her mom – that was when it got me really interested. I knew she must be a lesbian or the three of you would not have started your conspiracy. I really liked the look of her – the minute I saw the real thing – I was hooked. She is just different to so many of the women that I have dated in the last five-six years. She is normal – she has hopes and fears and she’s smart and funny and she does dumb ass things and laughs hysterically at things that I do that are dumb ass. She’s kind – it’s the most wonderful feeling to just see her when the day I have had has been rubbish. She is such a balm to me. Mom – even her untidiness and constant changing the channels and turning the volume up and down – even those sort of things don’t drive me insane. She’s the most obsessive movie watcher – she threatened to throw me out of her bed the other week because I said one of her favourite movies was rubbish. She is just the most real woman – not a neurotic fashion model or vain actress. She’s lovely and I want to love her and protect her and make her life good and have her be there with me and make me keep feeling as good as she does right now. I am in love like I never have before mom. It scares me senseless when I stop to think about it – so I don’t analyse it – I just throw myself into each and every day with her and so far she has been the greatest. I don’t feel comfortable with many people – you know that. With Tina – the minute I started to talk to her – it felt like I had known her as long as I have known Helena. “
Rosemary was just taking in what was obviously one stream of consciousness speech from her daughter. Normally Bette did not go in for such elongated pronouncements but she clearly needed to get all of this off her chest.
“She is fantastic at putting people at ease. We clicked on that first evening and it was just inevitable that we would end up dating like this. Nothing is going to come between us mom – and whatever I have to do and whoever I have to upset and warn off – I will. I am not afraid of anyone and when it comes to Tina I will run through walls for her “

I am not only interested that the Story is not even half way through yet, I am DELIGHTED!!!

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
