When I clenched my teeth, forcing the tears back, Sam suddenly spoke, with despair. “Please, Ms. Porter. It had been all my fault. I was too stupid, too vengeful. I ruined everything. But Tina is a good person. She never approved what I meant to do. Please don’t think of her like that… please… she doesn’t deserve it. I can’t lose her again…” He burst out into tears. The streams ran all over his old, wrinkled cheeks. “Please… she’s punished herself enough, she even commi—”
“Dad!” Before he divulged more about the darkest time of my life, I stopped him. And I went over to pat his back. His heart couldn’t take so much agitation anymore.
She stared at us, probably weighing his words.
Then the feature of an old woman appeared at the kitchen door. Maryanne had been walking toward us since she heard the boy’s loud greeting. “Elizabeth.” With incredible calmness, she called her name. “I did invite him over.”
“Grandma…” She wanted to protest, but as soon as she saw the clear blue eyes, she swallowed whatever she wanted to spat and transformed into a obedient child.
“Now, let Christina and William do the cooking, and find yourself some holiday spirit with Michelangelo, will you?” The old woman lifted one arm to her.
She walked over, like a little bird retreating to the wing of an eagle.
I didn’t see her face. She didn’t look back. Sam sighed heavily and muttered his apologies.
“Go sit with Sue and Steven. She’s just lost her temper, that’s all.” I wanted to reassure him, and it sounded like I was trying to reassure myself, and it was quite a lousy attempt.
Reluctantly, and under Maryanne’s hustling, I got the final dish ready. William had been the one bringing the plates out, I felt cowardly to go into the living room and face her.
When I got to the table, everybody was seated, with Maryanne on the one end and Victoria on the other, Sue, Steven, Elisa, James, and James’ mother Carol on the left side of the long table, Bette on the right of Maryanne, and Michelangelo next to her, William and Sam sat sat beside Victoria on right side. They saved me the seat beside my son.
The small body in between us was barely a barrier. Angelo held my hand and hers when the old woman said prayers. During the long minute, as if heat transmitted from her to my son, then to me, the little mocha colored hand in my palm was incredibly warm. My palm started to sweat.

Alright, folks, you see the tension, and Tina’s still at Bette’s place. You can guess where I’m heading to from now on.
Wait till you see the next chapter!
And I’ve always promised to fix things.
Thank you for reading, and please I welcome your comments.
Peace
Have a nice trip and thank you for the update.
Thank you, I was indeed very lucky with my visa application.
RT,
God bless you on your visa application.
I’m glad to read your new chapter. I understand Bette’s feelings but Tina truly loved her and still loves her. So I hope that B will be able to accept Tina again.
Did Tina committed suicide? I hope that B will discover this so that she will know that Tina suffered too.
Will be waiting for your next chap :)

Thank you very much. The application went well. I’m waiting for the result and I’m certain that it was successful.
Your guess is very accurate. But it has not been divulged in the story yet. I’m going to discuss on it in later chapters and you’ll find out how I manage it.
Hope you like the next chapter. :)
Oh boy, there is for sure a lot of tension and anger.
The road for happiness will be long and with a few bumps.
Sounds like Bette is jeaulous, thats good, she can’t have expected that Tina remained single.
Good luck with getting your visa.
Yes, anger and tension. It’s gonna be pretty disastrous when it gets released all at once.
The road is not easy, otherwise, happiness is just cheap. I intend to let them have a few bumps down the road. And when they finally realize how much they love each other after all, it’s all gonna be worthy.
Thank you. You are very kind. I was lucky with my visa application.
Please continue to read my stories, and review.
Bette and Tina need to talk and work thing out, sad to see them like this
It’s sad. And unfortunately, I probably made it sadder in the next chapter.
But they’ll work it out. Have some faith! :)
I didn’t read your story in a while, but I’m glad to finally find the time to do it because I like it a lot ! My god … Bette can be such a b….
Anyway, post soon ;-)
Bette can be a little bit clueless. I know, because that’s who she is.
But she also has suffered much. It’s been eating her. Her life is a mess.
Thank you for catching up with my story and reviewing. I hope you’ll like the next chapter.
Im completely on Bette side in this. ..and just out of curiosity is this Yolanda the same as the one in therapy session on the show, Candice ex?
It is Yolanda Watkins. But I’m not including Candice in this chapter.
Don’t worry about her. She’s a teeny tiny little character in the story, and she’s not even going to have a line. :P
Bette seems like the loneliest person in the world, looks like walking dead from your description AND has some illness hanging over her, lol. Tina, on the other hand, has it quite good – she has her friends, Bette’s friends, Bette’s family, her douchebag father is still in her life, she has a kid AND, as we found out from the last page, she even had a girlfriend all this time (lol, not that heartbroken after all). She really messed up Bette’s life big time.
Hmmm, I see your point. But Tina’s story and suffering have not been exposed entirely, and I believe that it’s not as good as you think right now.
Both of the parts suffered. And they will have to work extra hard to mend their broken hearts, and find a new way to get along.
I will continue with exploring the truth, and fixing things up for them.
Thank you for commenting and please read more.
I hope Bette and Tina can have another honest conversation. No one can blame Bette for her anger, but she still doesn’t know exaclty what happened and how Tina never really betrayed her. After all, she never did anything to harm her or acted with ill intentions once she got to know her. Amazing story, I’ll be looking forward to the next post!
Thank you very much for the support.
Bette, poor Bette, she just couldn’t move on. She is stubborn, and that stubbornness is causing her trouble, her suffering. It’s a mistake on her part. And she is going to make more mistakes.
But eventually, eventually, Bette could always get around. Just hope that when she does, it wouldn’t be too late for them to start anew.
I wish you can continue to enjoy my story. :)
