    Remember Who You 21

    “You are never going to lose me, Beloved… never, don’t you know how much I love you? Don’t you know how much I need you?”.

    “I like it when you call me that”

    “I know you do Honey…”

    And sitting on the dresser, Tina’s phone rang again, urgent but unnoticed in the passion of the moment.

    ***

    Bette went to the Gallery late that morning for a final walk through. Tables were being set up by the caterers and the barhop had started to stock the bar, chill the wine. James was everywhere, making snap decisions and leaving Bette to roam the Gallery.

    Every flower arrangement, painting, sculpture, beam of light was perfection. It was going to be the opening of a lifetime.

    She pulled into her driveway in the early afternoon, exhilarated. Never before had she opened a show with her name linked to Tina’s as co-owners, and she was beside herself with the anticipation, the hype, what it all meant. Her dreams coming true.

    She flung open the door and went in search of her beautiful wife. Stepping out on the patio by the pool she was greeted by two massage tables and a chilled bucket of champagne. Tina was sitting on a lounge chair in a white plush robe, another robe laying on the back of the chair next to her.

    “What’s all this?”

    “This? This…” and Tina stood, her eyes never leaving Bette’s as she walked towards her
    … “this is why…”

    And Bette smiled, remembering. Tears coming to her eyes, blurring her vision.

    When they first started dating Bette had utterly and completely surprised Tina with her gentleness, her patience, her courtship. She never realized Bette could be so romantic, so thoughtful.

    Bette had been the consummate girlfriend, the perfect date. Flowers, candlelight dinners, walks on the beach.

    She calmly and patiently waited months until Tina was ready to take their relationship to the next level. Never pushed, backing off when Tina got scared and holding her when she cried.

    Evenings spent making out like teenagers, hands sneaking under clothing and cold showers to calm the blaze within. Tina had not expected to be swept off her feet and then grounded with such tenderness.

    1. Sorry about the power failure but you more than made up with the tenderness of these lovers. I know the missed calls are Lucy. Let the unknowing be pushed to the background. An successful opening will give them the strength they need for whatever evil awaits. I hope Tina’s naiveté about Eric expose her to damage. Let Bette have the clearness of heart to protect her along with Lara and others.

    2. Hi BK,

      Sad you lost a entire chapter due to power failure, but wow i loved this chapter so much!

      It was hot, sweet and tender!

      Please, let Tina be careful when she is in Chicago and who is Bette going to call, i expect someone who will protect Tina. I hope Tina is going to call back to that unfamiliar number, Lucy, so that she will be given a head up about Eric’s intentions to Tina.

      Thank you for this wonderful chapter!

    3. Sorry for the loss of your creative output, that sucks. Do you remember some of it? Some sentences, the essence of the chapter’s course? Had that myself back in my writing days, at 2 am after writing for hours and disregarding to save the file.
      Thanks for this sensual chapter as substitute. Feels like the calm before the storm.

      When will Tina get in touch with her sister? I think it could somehow be important for Chicago.
      And what about Bette’s call? Did she call Eric to give him a peace of her mind? Would be very Alpha-Bette but not very thought-out. Like Bibi I hope she called some enforcement (still thinking of some kind of cavalry).

      Enjoyed this chapter very much, thanks for sharing. Waiting for the opening and the first gusts of the storm to come.

        I do remember some of it but some will change because this chapter gave some of it away already – the missed phone calls for one. But yes the essence is still there. I write these chapters much more easily than the drama filled ones. The one with Eric took forever because he is so vile. Anyway, appreciate your comments!

    4. The clam before the storm. Lovely chapter. I like the memories of when they first got together and the “This is why” incidents. Looks like its going to be a wonderful gallery opening. Tommorrow, its off to Chicago, and lets win there!.

      Thank you for this chapter….can not wait for more.

    5. “They had not been lovers for long and Bette remembered the first time she realized she didn’t care that her careful order was not so controlled. She found she didn’t mind a change to her routine, her control over things being replaced by the safety Tina instilled in her.
      Suddenly it was ok to be Bette Porter. Complicated, yes. Unyielding and stubborn, frequently. But also loving and gentle and generous. Kind. Protective.”

      I still didn’t finish to read this chapter but I had to express how much I love this analysis of Bette (our dear so-called Allmighty Porter but so deeply vulnerable actually) and this so simple and yet so deeply touching remembering about the first morning coffee with Tina and the mugs : just that is enough to summarize your exquisite talent. I just adore it.

      ,,, now, I’m ready to finish my reading – and ready for the coming drame about this disgusting Eric and the sister I cannot wait to meet and hear…

      Thank you SO much for sharing, again and again ! It’s a gift I’m more than ever grateful for,
      A;

      • You are most welcome. Thank you for your kind, heartfelt words. I think we both see Bette the same way. Sometimes she is hard to write because of her complexity. I appreciate your comments!
