"This is an interesting little coffee shop," Nicole commented as she looked around. "In an interesting little neighborhood." She made direct eye contact with Tina as she finished her sentence.
Somehow, at that moment, Tina knew there would be no need to tell Nicole anything. And it was quite obvious as well that John had gotten over the need to be judgmental regarding his sister’s life. Maybe this wouldn’t be so hard after all.
"So Tina, seriously, are you seeing anyone? Is that why you blew me off when I ran into you the other day?" John asked.
"I am seeing someone John," Tina paused as she contemplated her next move. "I’m living with the woman I was with the day you saw me."
"You’re living with her living with her?" He raised his eyebrows as he repeated the phrase for effect. "Or just living-with-her?"
"Try not to be so dense Jay," Nicole leaned over to say quietly to him.
"But you’re so attractive," he started.
That comment earned him a back handed slap to the upper arm from his sister.
"Ouch!" he turned to Nicole while he rubbed his arm. "That really hurt!"
"It was meant to," she replied. "I mean it; think before you speak John."
"I’m sorry, I don’t know anyone except my sister, and she’s – well, she’s my sister."
Tina laughed at his summary. She recognized the truth in that statement. Most negative responses to such news were based on the fact that people were being confronted with the unknown.
"I haven’t told my parents yet, and they’re coming for a visit," Tina began. "I would really appreciate it if you could hold off saying anything to your mom and dad until I’ve had a chance to let my parents know what’s going on."
"They don’t know yet?" Nicole asked. "And you’ve been living with someone?"
"I know," Tina replied defensively. "But it’s so easy to pretend nothing has changed when you live in a different city. And it just doesn’t seem like a conversation I should have with them over the phone."

Great update. For some reason I don’t think Tina will have an easy time with her parents when she tells them, hopefully I’m wrong. Also glad that Nicole did not try to push herself on Tina after mentioning her crush. Future chapters will certainly prove to be very interesting as they unfold. Thanks for posting.
Thats good and hope Tina’s parents will be ok with her being gay. Please post more, thanks!
nice update :)
nobody can be immune to Bette’s charms, not even Tina’s parents…can’t wait for more :)
Thanks for the update
“…the one who left you get away..”, huh? That sounds a little Kelly..ish. Glad Tina made clear she is happy in a committed relationship.
Let’s hope Tina’s parents rake this news well. And our Bette Porter charms the pants of them not literally I might add.

Thank you for the update.The “talk” with Tinas parents could be more difficult.Looking forward to the next chapter.
Of course, Bette will charm Tina’s parents. Heck. I’m charmed.
Thanks for the update JKS! :-) and mostly… Thanks for highlighting how great it would be to have such a freedom without fear of anything! One can dream.. And works toward make the dream come true! :-) PPVS
Excellent update. Thank you
Love your writing! Nicole was a welcome affirmation of Tina’s trajectory out of the closet(The Parent Trap – LOL). Looking forward eagerly to parents’ arrival chez Kennard-Porter. And, thank you, too!
Thanks for the update. Interesting turn of events with Nicole. THings always happen for a reason and Tina wasn’t ready for that major event happening for her then with Nicole. The winds of Fate and Destiny were at play. Great writing.
