“Whitney Biannual?”
“Yes, it’s a big deal, Michelangelo.” I gave him back the painting and looked into his big eyes, and I saw the brilliant, smart, handsome man behind them. “Do you know why your dad named you Michelangelo?”
“Michelangelo Buonarroti is a great artist from the…the renaissance years.” He told me all he knew about the great European artist.
Tina had a smile on her face as she sometimes corrected him the pronunciation of those big foreign words. And when he finished, they looked at me.
“Yes, you’re absolutely right. But he was also your father’s favorite artist. Your dad lived in Italy for a year when he was 19, fell in love with the country, fell in love with the sculptures, statues, and religious paintings. And as he visited the Palazzo Midici, he got to know about Michelangelo, who studied under the great era of Midici family, he read his poetry, studied his designs, and then, he traveled all around Florence and Rome to paint sculptures. He was crazy about Michelangelo at the time, he stared at ‘David’, for three weeks, painted twenty-four 50-by-80, you know, large canvases, each in different light, different hour of the day.” I spoke very fast, I was aware. But it was because of Marcus’s passion for his work. I still felt his passion when I talked about him.
The boy looked down at his hands, deep in thought. She was also listening intently, and I caught some twinkling dampness in her eyes.
“All I’m saying, is that your father had great hopes for you, and he loved you very, very much, son. You have to remember that. Whatever you choose to do in the future, as long as you have his kind of passion, and love, he’d always stand by you, so will I.” I put my hand on his. “Look, kid, I know we sort of started on the wrong foot. I’m sorry if I didn’t make a good impression. But you have to believe me, when I say I care about you a lot. We good?”
He sniffed and remained that way for about half a minute. And suddenly he stood up, came around the table, put his arms around my neck and embraced me. I felt some tears trickled down from his face to my neck and he whispered into my hair. “We’re good.” Then he apologized for crying.

I know what you’re thinking. It’s just complicated, sad, messy.
But it’s inevitable. For Bette, she sometimes can be very stubborn, so that she could protect herself but also be oblivious to other things.
Let’s just say that the emotions are waking up.
And you are probably worried for her well-being. She’s shown quite the dangerous syndromes. You’ll see what I have stored for the future.
I’ll try not to be away for too long.
Peace.
So sad how things have gotten for Bette. Glad that the three had a good evening together. I love this story! Thank you!
That was a good evening. I couldn’t help but grin every time I picture Bette with the kid. She can be a little childish sometimes too, but she has the potential as a great mother.
Thank you for reading. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Very sad, indeed! And something is telling me that Bette’s hand tremors and headaches are the signs that something is really, really wrong with her brain… I can’t even utter the ‘C’ Word, I hope I’m mistaken..
Nicely done, though! Can’t wait to read more.
Oh my god you’re commenting on my story! I loooove yours!
Ah, don’t worry, I don’t have the gut to give Bette such a sickness, She’s not well that’s true. But I’ll fix it too.
Thank you so much for the support! It’s a lot coming from a writer I admire.
I want Bette to release all her anger at Tina and go off, just get it out her system because honestly I feel like Bette, I honestly dont think its fair that everyone is all nice with Tina when clearly she destroyed her lover heart and betrayed they’re blood, all of plan to extort money or whatever and now she’s happy cool laiding with the family argh! why do Bette always get the pain in these stories argh!..oh I know because she care about Tina more than herself I need Alpha Bette with Tina and mama Bette with Michaelangelo…but then a happy ending when its all said and done haha..I cant wait for their conversation
Your wish is my command. :) Bette’s angry, she is, no matter how hard she tries to not show that in front of her son, she’s gonna lose it when she and Tina are alone.
She just needs a trigger…
You’ll see how she gets worked up, and release the emotion all together.
Thanks for commenting! I always love your comments.
Sad very sad. Thx for your post!
It is, sad indeed. Thank you for the comment. Please continue to read!
This is sad wish they can talk and work thing out. Glad they have a good time and hope to see more of it. Please post more, thanks
I think there’s a lot that had happened, and when neither one of them intended to talk about the past, more issues build up and when one of them lose their cool, it’s gonna be some avalanche.
Thanks for commenting!
You have me worried about Bette, looks like she is serious ill.
Loved the dinner with them.
I hope they will talk soon and get this mess out of the way and start the family they are to supposed to be.
Bette is not well, I could tell you. But not so badly ill.
Her health issue is what I’m going to write about later. Now they have a lot of issues to work out.
I like the idea of starting a family again. Yet, it’s not gonna be easy. I am working on it!
Thank you for reading. I hope you’ll enjoy more.
