Chapter 41
Tina opened her eyes and looked around her. It took her a moment before she realized where she was, but quickly felt Bette’s hand in hers and let a small smile pass over her face. She leaned to her left and took in the beauty beside her. ‘God Bette, you are so beautiful.’ Tina sighed. ‘Could it be that they had only known each other for less than three months?’
Tina let her mind wander away from the pleasant thoughts of her love and onto the present. She thought of the conversation Bette and she had had yesterday…
“What’s on your mind?”
Tina gave Bette a shy smile.
“What gave me away?”
Bette smiled as she walked over across the room, put her arms around Tina, leaned down and looked into Tina eyes.
“Oh, I don’t know, maybe just the lack of twinkle in your eyes.”
Bette smiled and waited for Tina to open up. Tina took Bette’s hand and led her to the couch in the sitting room.
“I’ve wanted to talk to you about something, but I’ve been putting it off. You know …things are just so perfect and I really don’t want to mess it up.”
Bette smiled at Tina and said.
“T, we have to learn how to lean on each other, for the good… and the bad. What’s up?”
Tina looked down at their intertwined hands and spoke quietly.
“Babe, I have to tell my parents and my sister and brother about us. I feel like such a baby, after telling my daughter and husband, you’d think I’d be a pro …but shit Bette every time I start to tell my mother I chicken out like some sort insecure adolescent.”
“Tina, don’t be so hard on yourself. This is a big deal. You had to tell Ellie and Joe but your parents aren’t here, it’s totally normal to want to avoid the confrontation and the drama.”
Tina gave Bette a weak smile.
“Thanks Babe but I still have to figure out how to do this. How on earth did you get the courage to tell your father?”
“Tina, it’s really apples and oranges. For me… there was no other life imaginable. I had been living with being a lesbian my whole life. By the time I got to college and was able to really be myself every time I spent time with him it was like I was living a lie and it still took a long time to tell him. I didn’t tell him until my senior year. He still doesn’t really recognize my lifestyle.”

Can’t wait for the next chapter. Tina just has to be strong even though it might be very painful. At least she’s being honest and courageous. PPVS.
Thanks for the update. I hope Tina’s parents aren’t too harsh with her. I think it’s great that Bette went with her to support her. Can’t wait for the next chapter to see what happens.
thanks for the update time will tell
guess whos comming to dinner? pps
I hope her family takes it well. But why shouldn’t they? Tina’s done really well for herself. She’s raised a great daughter, she’s gotten a great education, made money in the real estate market, and now has a nice career, and to top it all off, she’s found someone that loves her completely and would never disrespect or hurt her. What more could a parent want for their child? After her family’s informed, maybe she can work on getting that d-i-v-o-r-c-e. Thank you for the post, Dazed. Cheers! :)
OMG I can’t wait for next chapter. I’m glad their relationship is getting stronger by opening up to eachother.
parents???…we should all do a Drew Barrymore!!
Great update Dazed. Can’t wait for the next post. Thanks.
Great chapter and I can hardly wait for the next one. This will probably be the hardest thing Tina has ever done. When she talks to her parents I think she should let them know that Joe has always stepped outside their marriage and she didn’t she just turned her head to his indescretions. She wasn;t looking for anyone it just happened and it is the best thing that has ever happened to her. She needs to know she has kept their and her values throughout her marriage. She still wants their approval and not wanting to hurt them in the process. It is her life and hopefully they won’t give her too hard a time. Thanks for posting. PPS
Fantastic update. I cannot wait for the next chapter. Please post soon.
Another excellent update. I hope Tina’s parents don’t give her hell and that take it easily :) Thank you for this story :)
Oh God the talk it’s funny how we all want to be that ‘good girl’ for our parents. It’s a hard mold to break. Can’t wait to see her parents reaction. Thanks for the story
WOW!!! Great Chapter!!! I am glad B&T are talking. I just hope Tina’s parents are not to hard on her. Glad Bette went with her. Please bring on the next chapter real soon. Thank you PPVS
No matter what age we are, we still want the approval of our parents. We don’t need it if we are adults, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want it. Crazy!
Oh God, the parents talk. Has got to be the worst talk ever. Hopefully for Tina they will be what all parents should be – supportive.
