“Of course I was going to see you. You know, I’m a busy women, I have lots of things to do…”
I cut her off instantly, tired of the same ole routine she’s spouting. “I know, you’re the almighty Bette Porter, the art world might fall apart if you were away from it for more than 2 hours.” I know that’s a low blow, but right now I’m too worked up to care. The look on her face makes my gut churn but I’m too committed to my anger to be deterred just yet.
“That’s unfair, you know how important my work is to me. I never hassle you about how much time you spend at the office, which if I may remind you, is almost as much as me.”
“Yeah, but I still make time for you, I still want to see you more than I want to be stuck behind a desk.”
“And I feel the same way. I’m sorry if you can’t see that.” She says this in a condescending way, implying I should be that one working harder to see her loving ways. “Why don’t you just tell me what’s really bothering you anyways.”
She did always like to get right to the point. I steel myself for what I’m sure is going to be the most difficult part of this little tirade we’re calling a conversation. “Why did you start pushing me away when I told you I was going home for Christmas?” I’m trying to even out my voice and be a little calmer because I know Bette isn’t one to easily open up.
“That’s absurd, I haven’t been pushing you away. I’ve just been busy is all.”
“Bette, you’ve been avoiding me ever since you found out about the trip. I’m not stupid you know, I can feel you closing off from me.”
“Well I’m sorry you feel that way because I don’t think I’m acting differently than I usually do.” She has turned away from me, avoiding not only the topic, but any attempt I’m making at eye contact.
“Bette, I’m not your mother, I’m not going to leave you.” The second it leaves my mouth I know I said the wrong thing. Her shoulders immediately tighten and she slowly turns to me with a horrific gaze reserved only for the likes of someone she truly hates.

That was fantastic. Tina was right in holding her own against Bette, and poor Bette that totally sucks. Maybe Tina could go to her parents but surprise Bette by getting there before she wakes up Christmas morning. Dealing with families is always tuff, but I’m with the others if mine hadn’t been accepting, they’s loose. Thank God they have no problem hanging with me and my friends, they even invite them to all the family functions.
Marvelous story, wonderful chapter…yay!
Tee’s reason for not staying is a bit lame. Which one is more important to Bette, Tee or her parents?
What an emotional chappy! Way to go Tina for sticking to your guns. I’m glad that she didn’t let Bette push her away. There’s no way Tina can leave Bette alone for Christmas now! I agree with Lamentamini, if Tina’s family doesn’t approve, f*** em! Can’t wait for the next one.
great read! Well written.
OMG, that’s great. continue pls. love ur story
Damn that just sad and poor Bette, and glad she open up to Tina and let see what’s next, thanks!
I feel sorry for Bette. If Tina really feels that way she should stay with Bette or take her with her.
So emotionally charged and sad. Bette finally opened up to Tina about her lonely and sad childhood. Very well written, filled with lots of passion and love. Thanks for the update, please post soon.
Very good and well written chapter, so raught with emotions. I am glad that Bette was able to open up to Tina and they worked their way thru it, but it seems that Tina has put herself between “a rock and a hard place”. Plwase post again soon.
I totally agree with allyemmerson…that was one hell of a chapter, so emotionel and loving. So important that they are communicating about this and their feelings. Please post more and I will definitely read…
That was so sad but I am sooo glad they can confront the probablem.. Tina needs to either stay or tell her parents Bette is coming with her.. Post soon Great story..
heartbreaking and beautiful…pls post soon
what a wonderful chapter. I think T should haave a change of heart about the approval of the parents. she should tell them that Bette is her best friend and either she comes with her or Tina stays home!
that was one hell of a chapter — so well written and full of love and emotion. i’m glad Bette opened up to T
this is really emotional and heartbreaking…in a good way though…they are both so full of love, it’s incredible…thank you for this
Great chapter. Looking forward to more.
Oh my. I think if my family didn’t like my partner because of gender, I’d just tell them to fuck off and stay with my love. Please post again soon!
OMG that’s so sad. . .she can’t leave now! She should take bette with her! her parents need to find out someday. . .PLEASE POST SOON!
Tina can’t leave Bette after a discussion like that, can she? You gotta stay with your woman or take her with you. Tina needs to figure out that Bette is now her immediate family and should come first.
