Something so right – chapter 54
“Well – its our first few days of living together – we can eat well “
“What happened to our training for the triathlon ? We‘re going to look like barrels of flubber and didn’t we agree on a household budget “
“We are down to go for a run on Tuesday and a swim on Thursday – are you okay about that ?”
“Sure – sorry “ Tina walked out of the kitchen.
Bette wondered what she had said – she stayed for a few minutes to check the fridge which was one of her favourite hobbies now that it was always full. Wandering back to the living room Tina was sitting on the sofa channel hoping
Bette sat down and watched the screen changing every few seconds – finally Tina settled on a music station
“You want to talk ?”
“Not really “
“I saw Helena in the Supermarket car park “
“Did she wonder why you were in LA ?”
“Yes “
“I imagine she leapt to the conclusion that you had blotted your copy book “
“Something along those lines “ Bette replied – her instinct was to take hold of Tina and pull her close but the blonde seemed more remote than at any time. Bette had hoped that once home she would relax but if anything she’d got tighter.
“You told her ?”
“I said you had rowed with your mom “
Bette had worried that she had made a mistake by telling Helena but Tina didn’t seem bothered
“I would have told her anyway – I don’t want Alice or Shane knowing “
“I wouldn’t tell them “ Bette felt that she was stepping very carefully through a mine field. Although Tina had given no indication that she was about to go up like a rocket on 4th July Bette just had a worrying feeling that she just might.
“I am sorry that your holiday was ruined “ Tina spoke after several minutes of silence.
“You didn’t ruin the holiday -I was with you – that was all I wanted “
“It didn’t go the way that I expected “
“I can imagine “
Bette reached out and took hold of Tina’s hand – she squeezed it reassuringly

I can definately see Tina’s point
oh boy i understand tina, her parents arrangment is nuts but it’s theirs! :)PPS
Hello AllyE, Now these new additions are coming thick and fast. I love it. Good to see Bette and Helena chat about Tina and her family in an open and friendly manner. I think that Helena’s and Bette’s desire to protect Tina will untie them in friendship. Helena gave Bette some pointers in how to deal with this whole mess. Bette showed that she has grown up immensely from her dalliance and is now fully committed to her girlfriend. then Bette’s return home. Tina was remote and testy at first. Bette’s constant support and comfort won through in the end as Tina opened up and let herself be loved and hugged. So precious and tender. Loved all of it. Your grateful and Loyal Fan.
when i read the summary i wondered who’s snow white:) i love this story, glad to see it’s back!
I understand Tina’s point from her vantage point, but her parents have a system that works for them. Tina is being VERY atipical by judging her mother, while overlooking her father’s behavior. Either you leave the entire situation alone because it is NONE of your business, or you equally address both sides. Bottom line, Tina is a “Daddy’s girl”, been there and done that. PPS :o).
Glad that you are back! I have missed this story!!! Love how Bette is being such a wonderful partner, and how she suppports and nurtures Tina instead of running or being indifferent. PPVS
Frankly some of these people need to grow up; Sarah, Niall, and Tina. Tina will never change the way they view the world and their place in it. They are “60’s free love hippies” and will not change their views. Personally, I think her mother is a “slut,” pure and simple and her father is the male equivalent, although he is a little more discreet than Sarah. Other hippie types came back to the real world of respectability and responsibility, especially when they had a family to care for. Why cana’t Sarah and Niall. At least Bette is there for Tina and will continue to try to help her thru this. Just my opinion. Thanks for posting. Post when you can AllyE.
Hey Ally, I’m glad to see you back and even happier for this update. Boy Tina and her Mom really went at it. I understand Tina’s feelings, but it’s interesting that she doesn’t feel the same way about her Father’s indiscretions. Hope to have another update soon!
glad to see you back. thx for the update.
Poor Tina, I can’t see them talking anytime soon, she was unfair to her, but I am glad that she has someone that she can lean on. Thanks Ally, I missed this story.
This is great!! You’re keeping us going with all your stories. We love it when you share so much!!! Keep it up if you can. Thanks!!!
aaahhhh the mother issues!!! But Bette’s right; what about the father??? It must have been hard for Tina and her siblings but they r adults now and if they don’t like what their parents do they should cut the cord. They don’t have to like their parents or agree with their activities. Hard to learn & to do but necessary if we want to be happy, independent adults. PPS.
Great chapter, What makes Tina’s dads behavior any better than her moms. It seems he can do no wrong in her eyes. I hope she lets Bette in and keeps talking. PPS
Oh I missed this story. Hopefully everyone will calm down a bit. I find it strange that Tina continues to think her dad is a saint in all this mess. But someone is always going to be good and someone else bad. Thanks for posting!
That was great!
