    Bette and Niall Kennard

    SOMETHING SO RIGHT

    Chapter 51

    Bette was sitting outside on the porch drinking a cup of coffee. It was almost 8pm and the night was dark. There were five lanterns hanging from the roof of the porch -they cast as mild light across the building. Several spotlights were scattered around the front of the farm and they were obviously on sensors because they kept going on for no obvious reason.

     

     

    Bette was full of food – the meal had been just one of the best she had ever tasted. The whole dinner table had seemed like something out of a TV or movie for Bette – she had never tasted turkey so perfect or mash so smooth – it really had been a meal that she thought only existed as an American myth. The atmosphere had actually been pretty good – Tina was deliberately jolly with everyone and Willow turned out to have a very similar sense of humour to Tina so they had kept the conversation flowing and everyone had enjoyed the meal. Bette had praised the food, asked intelligent questions about the whole organic ethos that the farm was established on and made self depreciating comments about her own lack of culinary skills. All in all Bette would have said that the meal had been an 8/10 success.

     

    After washing up it was a Kennard tradition to watch the football on TV – Bette hated American football – she found it the most tedious sport on the planet so she excused herself to get some fresh air. She was enjoying the peace – only in the country could the silence be so total and the night totally dark. Bette was looking at the stars and thinking how great it would be if she was looking at the stars while she had her arms wrapped around the woman she loved.

     

    Seeing Tina in this environment had been strange – she was reverting back to being a gal from North Carolina – Bette loved the blonde with all her heart and seeing her in this environment just made her realise how special Tina was – Bette knew that no one was going to take over Tina’s position – it was always going to be Tina.

    1. I was thinking the same thing as pandamel. Maybe Bette will get a vhance to see a picture of this Brenda then she will at least knowif she had anything to do with her in the first place. Thanks for posting.

    2. Yikes, if Tina’s dad is a Yankees fan and Melvin is a Red Sox fan… don’t ever introduce them. Blood bath. Loved the chapter and cannot wait to see what happens with Sarah.

    3. Bette is right whatever works for tina’s parents. tina shouldn’t be so judgemental and her mom should not be so judgemental based on rumors. open marriage is tricky situation doesn’t work for everyone, sorta like what shane was saying in the camp fire scene. excellent update ally. love the heart to heart with tina’s dad and bette…:)PPS

    4. Glad that Bette is there for Tina. It must have been hard for Tina growing up with that and not understanding it, but apparently the open marriage works for her parents. I have confidence you will work this all out. Thanks for posting!

    6. Interesting chapter. I think its one thing for consenting adults to decide to have an open marriage. But to do it when you have children, in a small Southern town, it must have been fairly humiliating for the children. Considering where Tina is from it would have totally been part of the gossip mill..and not looked kindly on. So, I could see where that would be very upsetting for a child. I mean I don’t care what adults decide to do but sometimes those decisions have ramifications on other people in their lives that need to be acknowledged. Looking forward to more.

    7. Wow!!! That is really an open marriage. Very radical. What happens when that sex turns into affection and love? To have a decade-long affair? Has to be more than sex, right?

    8. Methinks this is foreshadowing of the issue of fidelity in Bette and Tina’s relationship down the road. Am I right? I couldn’t have an open marriage myself. PPS

    9. I agree with pandamel and hope that Sarah over hears how Bette is there for Tina and able to help her through this without being judgemental. Bette is so right, rather than trying to judge her parents lives, Tina needs to simply try to live her owns. Maybe this is part of the reason Willow wants to go away to school. Maybe she needs a breather.

    11. What a revelation on Thanksgiving Day, open marriages are not for everyone and if they can make it work, more power to them. There are too many things rolling around out there today to have an open marriage, some you can’t get rid of, it’s too risky and dangerous. Happy that Bette makes Tina know that she understands and it’s not something they will ever do. Sarah should lighten up, those that live in glass houses can not afford to throw stones. Thanks for the chapter AllyE.

    12. Wow Ally, great Niall/Bette and then Bette/Tina discussion about open marriages. I have never understood them myself, but if it works for two people that’s the main thing. However, even if it works for them, it doesn’t always work for their children as we saw with Tina. Wonderful story!

    15. Just what is Tina’s problem that she is so utterly close minded? Because she was embarassed by her parents when she was a teenager? EVERYBODY is embarassed by their parents when they’re teenagers! And as for Bette, I think her issue with Mel wasn’t his infidelity (although it may well have been for his wives), but that his treatment of her ranged from the cold and distant to the outright hostile. But then, Bette and Tina wouldn’t be the first ‘liberals’ I’ve encountered who were rigidly prejudiced. Was it really Bette’s business to inform Tina that her fears of her mother having a new stud were true? And was that a good way of getting Tina to calm down? Maybe Niall should have a heart to heart with Tina on the back porch like he did with Bette.

    17. I’m not a fan of open marriages, but if this one has worked for Mom and Dad. That’s well and good. It however doesn’t seem to go so well for the children. They have a loving family, but not without its troubles. Bette, because of her background, seems to accept it better than most. Love this story!!! Keep it coming.
