Starting Over (36)
Bette raised her glass to the pair.
“To both of you…Thank you.”
Tina and James were beaming at Bette’s words. Tina leaned in and kissed Bette and James gave her a tentative hug.
“Alright guys, let’s get into position. The doors open in five.”

After about an hour the event was in full swing. A group of dancers from the Center had performed, speeches from the CAC bore, The Director of the Center, Oscar, Peggy Peabody and the Mayor, had all gone really well. They were now going to break to give patrons the opportunity to view the art work and give members of the fundraising team a chance to work their charms.
After the initial entrance of the guests Bette had insisted that she and Tina remain together. They were loving the opportunity to be together as a couple.
Alice, Shane, Carman, Dana, Helena, Kit, and even Alice’s new girlfriend, Tasha, were all there to show their support. They were gathered around the bar with Bette and Tina when Alice spoke.
“Hey Tina, if I’d known he was coming I wouldn’t have brought Tasha.”
Tasha looked at Alice.
“Another comment like that and you will not have to worry about me hanging around.”
Alice leaned into Tasha.
“I was kidding. Just kidding. Sorry. Doesn’t anyone have a sense of humor anymore? Shit, I’m sorry.”
Joe and Ellie approached the group. Tina walked up to them, gave them each a hug, and gestured for them to join the group.
“Guys, this is my daughter Ellie and um..”
Joe reached forward and extended his hand to the closest person to him, Kit.
“Hi, I’m Joe, the ex.”
Bette’s hand tightened around Tina’s waist and Tina gave her a warm smile.
“Joe completed his introductions and offered to get a round of drinks.”
Bette turned her attention to Ellie.
“You know, I really wish you were here from the start. You put in a lot of work and I think you should get a chance to reap some of the rewards. When you get settled there are some people here I’d really like you to meet. Okay?”
“Thanks Bette, that’ll be great.”
Bette smiled.
Alice had been quiet thus far but she couldn’t help but jump in.

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
