    Sugar and Spice ~ Chapter 13

     

    “You’re my daddy.  You have to say yes.”

     

    “I’d say yes even if you weren’t my little girl.  So, when are you going to give her the card and flowers?”

     

    “When I ask?”

     

    “Perfect.”  Bill smiled reassuringly at Tina.

     

    The child grabbed her father’s hand and the two walked towards the house.

    Kit ignored her younger sister’s mumbling of the street addresses as they walked towards the Kennard home.  She didn’t notice when Bette started to walk more slowly and soon, the older girl was standing in front of the house with her sister lagging several feet behind.

     

    “Bette, what are you doing back there?”

     

    “Shhhh.”

     

    “Why should I shhhh?”  What’s wrong with you?”

     

    “I should have practiced.”

     

    “Should have practiced what?”

     

    “What I’m going to say.”

     

    “What do you want to say?”

     

    “Be my Valentine.”

     

    “Say please/”

     

    “Please?”

     

    “Say ‘Please will you be my Valentine’.  Girls like it when a boy, I mean, when someone is polite.”

     

    “Please will you be my Valentine?”

     

    “Use her name.”

     

    “At the beginning or end?”

     

    “Try is both ways.”

     

    “Please be my Valentine, Tina.  Tina, please be my Valentine.”

     

    “Which do you like better?” Kit asked.

     

    “The one with her name at the beginning?”

     

    “Hmmm.”

     

    “The one with her name at the end.  ‘Please be my Valentine, Tina.’ Then I give her the unicorn.”

     

    “What about the card?”

     

    “The same time that I give her the unicorn?”

     

    “Perfect.”

    Melvin Porter ignored the doorbell the first time it rang.  He was sitting at his desk in his study and was in a foul mood.  The colleague with whom he had been having a meeting had cancelled at the last moment, giving an incoherent excuse that had something to do with a florist and a Republican women’s luncheon.

     

    When the doorbell rang a second time, he scowled at the interruption.  He stood and moved to the doorway of the study.  “Mrs. Washington?” he called out.

     

    When he heard no reply, he listened carefully and heard her footsteps on the second floor.  She would not hear the bell from so far away.  He sighed and returned to his study for a moment to slip into his suit jacket.  He walked to the door and opened it.

    1. Spumoni, when I see there’s an update from you I can’t wait to read your Author’s notes and the story. You didn’t dissapoint this time. I enjoyed both so very much. Thank you for this wonderful story.

    2. i love this story… but i’m growing old waiting them to meet… lol… melvin is not a nice man… and i’m glad tina at this young age was not scared off by him… ok we are all here waiying for your next post… pps

    3. You know, if your daughter’s friend DOES read L Word FF, I have a feeling someone’s going to get told off for all of these stories that keep surfacing… I would look into alternate aliases. Cadogan worked well, I think. Spumogan, even. Now, because you already now how much I utterly adore teenage Kit (because I do), I won’t repeat that. No. I will instead tell you that I love Bill. He reminds me of my dad… well, before I turned into exactly him and our relationship cracked a bit. But still, he would have done that. So yeah, Bill + Kit = Major WIN! (Sergeant Win? LOL). Anyway, you crack me up, woman. I’m so glad every time I see an update, that not even my crazy schedule can stop me from reading it. Oh, one more question, did you ever attempt to beat up or lecture the other 7 children who refused to give the eldest, non-germified-binky-consuming child Valentines? It somehow sounds like something you’d attempt to improve upon the strategy’s results.

    4. Spumoni… you crack me up, woman. I hope these two meet up at some point and exchange Valentines, or else I think wee B&T might explode. As patient as Kit and Bill are being, I’m not sure if they’re up to handling pint-sized heartbreak. thanks for the post!

    5. They always seemed to be a step behind or in front of each other. I can’t wait for the moment they actually come face to face. Mr. Porter scares me to death, I will take the Kennards over Mr. Porter any day.

    6. This story is very cute, but you are torturing us readers, I love the scene in the previous chapter with Tina in the flower shop and Bette buying the stuffed unicorn, and the reactions by Bill and Kit were precious when the girls reveal their Valentine’s. I can’t wait for their actual meeting. Your stories are good for the soul. THANK YOU!!

    7. LOL This story is adorable! No wonder Bette and Tina’s communication sucks as adults…it’s been that way from the beginning! LOL Thanks!! And thanks for the great author’s notes. :-)

    8. Damn, Spumoni, I know it’s too late to have you be this middle aged cynic’s Valentine, but I so look forward to your notes. Could you perhaps get an account at LiveJournal so we can follow your musings, whether or not you have a story going?

    9. What a difference between the Kennards and Melvin. He is so curmudgeonly. Your AN is a hoot and very delightful. You’re an excellent storyteller.

    10. Spumoni…you need to put warning signs for your AN’s. I laughed so hard that 1) the dogs came a running to find out what’s going on 2) nearly had to go pee…laughed that hard! Germ phobia. ROFL! You are a stitch!BTW: You are killin me with the missing of each other. Glad that Tina is so positive since Mr. P is a grouch. Please let them meet upon Feb 14th…c’mon Spumoni…let that romantic heart of your’s write young love.

    11. You’re not gonna make them continue missing each other to torture us, right? Can’t wait to see what happens next. Is it bad that I was actually hoping that Tina would tell Melvin that she wanted to make Bette her Valentine so that the old scrooge would have a heart attack, keel over and die? I know, bad right? But I quickly squashed this morbid train of thought, don’t worry.. cause if that ever happened, then this story will stop being about cute TiBette and segue into the dark and twisty TiBette of S2 *shudder*. And I love cute TiBette, especially if you were the one writing them. So.. carry on great Spumoni (I want another update.. stat! Demanding much? Lol). Till the next one.. :)

    12. damn…are you kidding? the girls will keep missing each other…you are killing me here…btw, love your author’s notes as well, you always make everything really enjoyable…just those little girls together, please

    13. Fantastically funny AN and the story is so damned sweet and cute, as are the girls. Happy that Tinas’ parents have good sense and good manners. I was so hoping that Melvin would not be an asshole in this story but he is as always a superb intimidating asshole. Please let them exchange cards and gifts at Tinas’ house so she and her father won’t have to go back to Bettes’ house and talk to Melvin again. Nice people should not have to deal with Melvin, ever. He’s ever only going to be an ugly person to deal with. Thanks for posting.

    14. The suspense is killing me!! Please have them meet up either at Tina’s house or on the sidewalk if they decide to walk back home!! I don’t want Tina OR her father to have to deal with Melvin the old fart again!! I love this story!

    15. This is just to say my cheeks hurt from smiling so hard while reading your last three posts. =) Thanks a bunch, Spumoni, for helping me stretch out my facial muscles to the limit and of course, my sugar fix. =) Little TiBette are so lucky the store attendants they met are not as stiff as Melvin. I can’t wait for their face-to-face sidewalk, porch or balcony scene. Btw, this sweet little tale will be sweeter and lovelier if the smitten little girls will really end up as each other’s forever Valentine in a flash-forward scene 10 or 12 years later. It’s just a thought. Thanks again, Spumoni. The fluff that this story and geegee’s uber sweet epilogue supply will tide me over for a while. P.S. Your author notes are hilarious! Self-deprecating humor + deadpan delivery = comedy gold. Cheers! =)

    16. I already said it lol, don’t know if I enjoy more your AN than the story lol. Your AN was so funny. Recorded at the time and shown now would have been more hilarous pmsl.
