    Remember Who You 21

    There was a place for her things and each thing had a place. She didn’t trust being vulnerable, avoided exposing her heart.

    Until Tina.

    Several long months in to dating, when Tina started staying over, spending the night when they couldn’t bear to be apart, which was most of the time … dates that stretched into one more drink which turned into something more. Something else.

    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.

    It was a morning like any other typical morning, except that it was becoming the norm that they woke up together in the same bed. Bette had been getting dressed for a long day of meetings, in her towel and looking for a pair of black heels that went perfectly with the suit she had been planning to wear.

    Tina had come in, already showered, dressed in Bette’s Yale t-shirt and nothing else, as Bette was to discover soon after. Much to her delight. Twice.

    Tina was holding two piping hot mugs of coffee… one was Bette’s favorite and the other… just a random mug that she had received as a gift. Tina nonchalantly handed Bette the mug she had not been expecting. The other mug. She paused, unsure. Watching.

    Tina was holding her favorite mug. Her mug that she used almost every morning, every morning since her first year at Yale. Every morning because it was the right weight in her hands, and she liked the feel of the clay against her palms, the way it was always the right temperature, the way it reminded her of a grisly old potter working the clay with ancient fingers, patient hands.

    She looked down at the mug Tina had unknowingly given her, then back at Tina, whose long fingers were now wrapped perfectly around the clay mug… the paleness of Tina’s skin contrasting nicely with the earthy color.

    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.

      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!

    6. Reading each page of this marvelous story of yours… #thisiswhy…
      Smiling with tenderness in my heart in front of my favorite two… #thisiswhy…
