Tina: “Just ask me.”
Bette: “Tina, are you mad?”
Tina: “Nope, just mad about you.”
With so much love in their souls,they look at each other and gently kiss.
Tina: “You make me go weak in the knees Ms. Porter.”
Bette: “You make my heart skip several beats Ms. Kennard.”
Tina: “I should really be going. I still have to pack and get things ready.”
Bette: “Pack? Pack for what?”
Tina: “God, I’m sorry. I was coming over here originally tonight to tell you about Vanessa. She is going to have to have a complete mastectomy tomorrow. Steven called me tonight and asked me to fill in for him at a conference he is scheduled to speak at. He just doesn’t feel he should leave Vanessa.”
Bette: “Well, no, he needs to be there for her at this time.”
Tina: “Bette, I was looking so forward to our date tomorrow night. But, in order for me to cover for him I have to leave tomorrow morning so I have time critique some projects that each participant had to submit ahead of time for consultation. I am so sorry that I have to cancel.”
Bette: “Don’t worry about it. This is more important than any art show. There will always be art shows.”
Tina: “Really? Ah . . . thanks for being so understanding.”
Bette: “I know Steven, Vanessa and Emily mean the world to you. They are your family. Your family is in need and you need to be there for them. How long will you be gone?”
Tina: “I leave tomorrow morning and won’t be back until Wednesday morning. We have a banquet the final night of the conference and normally I wouldn’t stay, but since I am a workshop leader, I need to be there to present each participant with their certificate of completion. It’s kinda cheesy, but that’s part of the program.”
Bette: “So that means that I won’t see you for a week! Expect to get phone calls and e-mails!”
Tina: “I am counting on it. I am really going to miss you.”
Bette: “I will miss you, too. I actually have a training thing the CAC’s board wants me to go to this week as well. They think it might help in our fundraising efforts. I don’t know much about it, other than Franklin, Chairman of the Board, signed me up and said I was going. I leave Thursday afternoon, after my meeting with a potential new board member we are trying to woo. I am going to have to come in late. I think I return next Wednesday as well. Looks like we will be gone on the same time frame. At least it isn’t two separate weeks apart. One will be bad enough.”
Tina: “As much as I hate to, I should go home and finish packing. It’s probably after midnight by now. This is so nice and peaceful. I feel so safe in your arms. I wish this night didn’t have to end. ”
Bette: “Tina, I don’t think you’ll be going anywhere tonight. Umm . . . you were so upset earlier that I didn’t want to break the news to you then . . . but . . . um . . .When I locked your car and closed the door after you got out I noticed your keys were on the seat. I accidentally locked your keys in your car. I am so sorry.”
Tina: “It’s okay. It was an accident. You were just trying to help. I am the one that couldn’t find her keys.”
Bette: “You could stay here tonight and in the morning I could call James, my assistant, to come over and get your keys out with his Slim Jim.”
Tina: “Stay the night? What about us waiting?”
Bette: “Can’t we hold each one another and just sleep?”
Tina: “Actually, that sounds really nice.”
Bette: “I can lend you a T-shirt and boxers . . . oh . . . I have an extra toothbrush.”
Tina: “Would it be alright with you if we spent the night out here?”
Bette: “Really? I’ve never done that before.”
Tina: “I guess we get to experience something for the first time together tonight after all.”
Bette: “Are you warm enough? You want some more tea?”
Tina: “No, I am fine. I could go fix you some more if you want?”
Bette: “Nope, I have my Tee here to keep me plenty warm.”
Tina: “Okay, that was cheesy. Cheesy, but cute.”
As the early morning wore on, Bette and Tina finally feel peacefully asleep in each other’s arms.

OMG! Hey Portard Still wonderful story I Love it Thanks gosh Tina give Bette some chance and it’s really Sweet OMG! I really Love it Thank you Please continue Please.
Wonderful chapter showing a new love in its first bloom of passion, how beautiful. Thank you for this story. plese continue.
Oh, I just caught up with this story and I’m loving it. I’m glad the fight between Bette and Tina was REAL and that Tina didn’t just give into Bette. Because what Bette said and did was truly hurtful. Tina had every right to be really upset. Ohhh, it’s going to be a long week for both of them—AND US!!!
Sweet stuff. Bette showed admirable restraint. They’re going to the same conference,right? Looking forward to more.
YES,sometimes you just have to keep pushing and trying. I would have done the same thing Bette did when she opened the car door. What a way to end the evening, sleeping under the stars in a double lounge chair together. I’m gonna go with the others and figure Bette and Tina are going to the same place. Keep up the good work.

i loved this post, i think it’s only tina that brings the sweet and loving side of one miss porter, i think is kind of cute that these 2 could forget their argument and just want 2 be in each others arms.
Hey – again another great chapter….I just loves your writing and the B&T connection. Can’t wait for more. My guess is…Bette is going to San F?
Thankfully Tina couldn’t find her keys. I’m glad they talked and got everything cleared. Also happy to see the restraint from Bette.
