It took about ten years for anything to happen between us. In all reality, it took nearly that long to realize what I felt was more than an attraction. We hit that friend stage and then the best friend stage then the family stage. It’s so hard to cross the line when there is so much to risk. But it was Dana and well worth the ten-year wait. It was also worth the pain and tears. It was worth the break up just to have the reconciliation. It was almost worth the pain of cancer just as the reminder of the fragility of life. That night at dinner, though I had met Dana twice before, I met my soul mate, I just didn’t know it. It’s been 23 years now, with the last 13 with us together, give or take a few months, as a family, with a five-year-old son. Yeah, it was worth every tear and every goodbye to be here now.
That early summer Saturday was one hell of an important day in my life. Who would have thought that in a course of ten minutes I would meet two of the four most significant people in my life?
A year after that Bette met Tina and a legacy was born. I think the story of the earring is now thought to be urban legend in WeHo. But I was there and know it was real. They were a force to be reckoned with. When they first got together, it was something I never thought I’d see. Bette Porter was a taken woman. She didn’t look at other women. She just smiled at the people who hit on her and walked back to Tina without a second thought. They had this relationship that we all put on a pedestal. It was like the fairy tale relationship in the gay world. Long-term, healthy relationships aren’t a standard. Not that they are simple in the straight world, but they seem even more rare in the gay community. Maybe it’s because there is nothing legal or binding to a committed life like there is in straight relationships. Maybe it’s because of all of the outside issues that don’t exist in straight relationships that make it that much harder. Maybe it’s just that there are two women in one relationship, which does straight out double the estrogen. That can cause problems. Who knows why? But it isn’t standard.

Awww this was great, seeme like Alice had brought them all together in some way, I like how it was from her POV. This was awsome, keep up the great work!
Oh, that was good. I like reading things from Alice’s POV. Plus we need a little background on how all of our ladies met. Nice work.
This was wonderful to read. Thank you.
Admirable. I’ve never liked Alice (or Dana) better, you gave her more depth than she usually has. And Shane’s crack about Cher made me laugh out loud. I just did a major move a few months ago. God I hate moving, good luck with it. Please, next time you post give us old fucks with the tired eyes and special glasses some larger print.
Nice story! I loved reading your take on how Alice met the gang. Thanks for sharing.
Again…beautiful.
Thanks for your writing, very good we can’t expect less from you.
This was great :D I’m so glad you decided to go for my challenge :D
I always love your stories. It’s nice to read a story that gives our girls some background as to how they all met. I also like reading things from Alice’s POV. Please continue!
What a robust post. Very nice. Good luck on your move. Thanks.
This was a really sweet story, i loved Alice’s POV and the fact she brought the gang together. I wish you all the best with your move.
I still hope there will be a next chapter of Drowning though.I hope you’ll get inspired again.
That was great. Thank you.
