Bette took Tina’s hand and they walked out the door hand in hand.
______________________________
As they approached the Gallery they could see the crowd. Bette turned to Tina.
“Are you sure you’re ready for this?”
Tina smiled at Bette and took her hand.
“Well I’ve never walked the red carpet before but…” Tina paused and looked down at their entwined fingers. “…but I think as long as I’m holding on to this hand I’ll be just fine.”
Bette beamed at Tina.
“Ready?”
“Ready.”
Bette exited the car and turned to take Tina’s hand as she exited the vehicle. She deftly pulled Tina toward her and placed her hand on the small of Tina’s back to lead her toward the entrance.
“Hey, Bette, give us pose.”
Bette smiled and the ladies posed, they then smiled at the press, and walked arm and arm into the Gallery.
Once inside Tina turned to Bette.
“That was sooo cool. You are so smooth Porter.”
Bette leaned into Tina for a warm hug and a tender kiss. Tina whispered into Bette’s ear.
“I love you Porter”
Bette smiled and leaned back to look at Tina.
“I know.”
Tina could feel Bette’s emotion and she felt her heart swell. She pulled Bette close.
“Oh Babe…”
Bette once again leaned back to look at Tina.
“I love you.” She paused a moment and they shared a tender moment speaking to each other without words. “Well… I guess we should get this party started.”
The ladies beamed at each other as they strode together to the main floor of the Gallery.
________________________________________
They had about 20 minutes to do a final check on everything. James had everything totally under control. The trio took a moment to take in their hard work and they smiled at each other. Bette walked them to the bar where there was three glasses of champagne waiting for them. Betted handed them each a glass, took one for herself, and then turned to her team.
“I wanted to take a moment to thank you. You both have gone so far above and beyond over these last few weeks that I didn’t want the moment to pass. This exposure will be very important to the Gallery and I can’t thank you enough professionally, but the money raised here tonight will mean so much to so many young at risk kids…” Bette paused, and looked down to compose herself and then continued. “…it means so very much. So personally, I’d like to thank you for all your amazing work and for sharing this experience with me.”

Porter is so smooth. Can’t get enough. What does Tina have going on?? PPS
I love your frequent and longish posts. The story is so interesting. PPVS.
OOOOOOO A Surprise!!! I wanna know!
Seems that everything is going well for them, even with Joe and Bette. Bette was very charming and gracious to Joe and their conversation was to the point. Joe was right he didn’t stand a chance once Tina saw Bette and fell in love with her. At least Bette didn’t gloat over her victory, she handled the situation with much aplomb. Now I would like to know what Tina has planned for Bette. Thanks.
I love how gracious Bette was towards Joe. Now that’s a lady. I think I know the surprise :) I wonder if I’m right.
Hey D&A, I am just loving this tale of love and romance in later life for Bette and Tina. There is such an honest connection between Bette and Tina. They are both able to share their inner most emotions and reveal their true selves to one another. This bond shows the depth of their relationship.How great were Ellie and Joe at the benefit. It is so pleasing to read that this new family is taking care of its own. Sweet to have the Center iun the middle of this and doing such great work. More please. Your Loyal Fan.
Very smooth Mrs Porter. Tina is great I think she has organised a Christmas diner with all Bette’s friends and family as a surprise lol. Well it is just guess lol. I can’t wait to know what is going on lol.PPVS
Bette can charm anyone, can’t she? I’m not convinced Ellie’s fully there yet, but it’s only a matter of time, isn’t it? So, what kind of big surprise has Tina got planned for Bette? Great post, DnA, thanks! :)
These two are so sweet together. They’re so lucky that Ellie and Joe are so supportive. I can’t wait to see what Tina has planned to surprise Bette..
I love it!!!! Bette is so smooth and was just great with Joe. Ellie is still a little gun shy but she will come around soon I think. What is Tina up too? Thank you PPS
