She was starting to realize that her ability to live freely was something to be cherished and celebrated. She was in an enviable position compared to so many who had to hide themselves for fear of losing their job; for fear of losing their home; or in some countries for fear of losing their life.
"We won’t say anything," John assured Tina. "Having our parents as friends will make it that much easier though. Having a gay child won’t be completely foreign to them."
"Glad I could blaze a trail for everyone," Nicole said sarcastically.
John excused himself from the table as Nicole and Tina continued talking.
"I knew there was a reason I was attracted to you back when you were dating John," Nicole confided to Tina with a smile.
"You were attracted to me?" Tina asked, unable to mask her surprise.
"I actually wouldn’t put that in the past tense," Nicole replied.
Tina was left completely speechless at this comment. Everyone in her circle of friends knew she was with Bette. No other woman had ever expressed an overt interest in her before. No wonder Bette loved having women flirt with her. It felt good.
"I may have been the one who let you get away," Nicole continued, before deciding to scale it down a couple of notches. "But I’m glad to hear you’ve found someone."
"I have," Tina replied. "And she’s really amazing."
"You deserve nothing less than amazing," Nicole reached across to squeeze Tina’s hand as she spoke.
***********
"Bette," Tina called out as she walked into the house.
"In the kitchen," Bette replied. "I’m making supper."
"Really?"
Bette poked her head around the corner.
"Okay, I’m placing food from take out containers into serving dishes and setting them on the table. Is that better?"
"More believable anyway," Tina replied.
"How was coffee," Bette asked, somewhat anxious at what the response would be.
"Good. John’s sister was there too."
"Oh really?" Now Tina had Bette’s full and complete attention.
"Talking to her actually made me feel better about telling my parents," Tina said. She sensed some jealousy in Bette, but didn’t want to lead her to believe there was any reason to be jealous.

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.
