New York Minute 105&106
____
Bette worked up to 6pm in the gallery – she was glad Tina’s parents would be with them for Thanksgiving but she was glad that she had the excuse of her gallery which had kept her out of the way for a few hours today. And tonight they were gong out to the club where Roger was performing – it might not be the best place to talk to him but Bette didn’t really want him at the apartment with Angie around – that would lead to some awkward questions.
***
What Bette loved about coming home was how pleased Angie always was to see her. Bette walked into the living room
“Hello”
She had barely put her briefcase down when Angie had jumped from the sofa and raced to her mother. Bette picked her up and hugged her
“Hello sweetheart “
“Hello momma “
Bette kissed her daughter and carried her back to the sofa to where Jack and Tina were sitting
“Hello Jack – hey babe “
Bette sat down and kissed her partner who squeezed her hand “Hi Bette”
Bette could sense that Tina was stressed
“Hello Bette – good day at work ?”
“Reasonable. I gave James the afternoon off and sat and read catalogues and dealt with visitors – it was a worthwhile day – where’s Mary ?”
“Kitchen – I have been banished from my own kitchen “
Tina tried to make her tone light but Bette could see that she wasn’t happy about it.
“Any reason why ?”
“She is baking – we always had the same dinner the day before Thanksgiving – rack of lamb – we brought it with us “
Bette winched – she hated lamb and Angie liked it more than both her mothers. Bette looked at Tina who shrugged but she could see the hurt on her face – Bette kissed Tina again
“Its okay – leave this to me “ she whispered
Bette had been doing a lot of thinking about families and she didn’t want the situation with Tina’s parents to get out of hand – just because no one wanted to rock the boat by saying something. Bette got up and headed towards the kitchen
“I wouldn’t go in there if I was you – Mary is very particular about who comes into her kitchen “
“Technically its my kitchen “ Bette replied. She half expected Tina to stop her but Tina just let her go. Bette walked into the kitchen – Mary was at a packet of cookie mix that Bette had bought years ago and as far as Bette knew had been at the back of the cupboard ever since
“Hi Mary “
Mary looked surprised but smiled at Bette. Bette walked across and opened the cookie jar and took one out
“That will spoil your dinner “
“Lamb I believe “
“Yes – family tradition “
Bette ate the cookie slowly
“Is there a problem Bette ?”
“Did you think to talk to Tina about the lamb ?”
“No – of course not “
Bette raised any eyebrow “Of course not ? “
“Eh – I mean – I eh -assumed “

Congratulations on your promotion AllyE that is great news. Something tells me that you will love the change and getting to see new places and especially new people, (like new lady people). That could prove to be a very good thing for you. Again congratulations. This was a great update, been hoping for one. Its good that Bette talked to Tinas’ mother, it really was necessary and I will be happy when she broaches the subject of, “if only Tina had told them,” that will be a conversation worth hearing, or shall I say reading and is very long overdue. I know you will introduce that topic without getting many feathers ruffled. The parents have not really thought this through but have abdicated their responsibilities onto Tinas’ shoulders which is grossly unfair. “I have an idea and it might sound crazy,” but since you will not be able to write very much while traveling, maybe you will be able to post those completed chapters of “Something Kind of Wonderful and Something So Right.” Just an idea to let us keep hearing from you and the wonderful stories that we all love. Hello and an ear scratch for Lord Rockingham this Sunday morning. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Ally you are the best, thank you for another post on this great story. My favourite characters, communicating, plus a shout out for my favourite performer, the wonderful Dame Shirley!
Congratulations on your promotion, well deserved I’m sure. Perhaps your travelling could be such to enable you to write?
Look forward to the next Chapter.

I love this story very much. I was looking forward to a new update.
Bette is right, Tina and her parents must move from the past or the relationship will not work now either.
I’m glad Bette talked about Mary, and she wasn’t afraid to tell her opinion.
I hope Bette good decision and not take herself and Tina in the first line of battle Kit. I understand that she will always be her sister, but Kit behaved terribly towards Bette and Tina, and Kit must learn to take responsibility for her own actions.
I’m looking forward to the next chapter.

Congratulations on your new position ! May only good things come along with it !
Glad to see they’re (all) talking things through! And as someone else mentioned – you could always pull something off the shelf, if your time is limited. Little R should be able to hit enter by now !!! >^~~^<

It is so difficult to say something, when the others already said it.
Congratulations to your promotion, can i feel a little bit sorry for us, your loyal readers, that you can’t write so often! But seriously, i am very happy for you!
It is mentioned already, i would love it when you can share you finished chapters on your other stories.

Great post! Congratulations on the promotion. So happy for you! Please post when you can.
Thank you for all your stories.
mscully says
I really enjoyed Bette attitude to Mary, I believe
that after the conversation they had, Mary has more respect
with Tina.
It’s great that you have a promotion
this is the result of their dedication to their work.
congratulations
10 Stars.

I am glad Bette pulled up her “big girl” pants and set Mary straight. Tina’s parents want to rewrite the past at her expense. It is so sad that Kit has fallen prey to the bottle again. I am sure that she is feeling remorse for the way she has treated Bette and is using alcohol to justify her anger. Poor Roger has not a clue and Alice is hardly a rocket scientist. I don’t think Bette will turn her back on her sister though. Congratulations on your promotion. I’m sure Sir Rocky is giving you lots of purrs for your step up.

As adults we must have our parents respect us. Discuss the past, address the problems and then move forward.
