    Sugar and Spice ~ Chapter 13

     

    Kit stood at the door, waiting for Bette to ring the bell.  When Bette didn’t, she looked to her side and didn’t see her sister.  She quickly glanced down the path, thinking that Bette had run away, but instead found the younger girl hiding behind her.

     

    “Get out from there and ring that bell.”

     

    “You can ring it.”

     

    “I can but I won’t. How is Tina ever going to want to be your Valentine is she finds out that your sister had to ring the doorbell for you.”

     

    Bette hesitated for a moment then stepped out from behind Kit for a moment to ring the bell.  She immediately darted back.

     

    “Bette, what are you doing?  Get back out here.” Kit pulled on her sister’s arm.

     

    Dorothy had been waiting, so she opened the door quickly enough to see the younger girl try to duck behind the older one and the older one pull the younger one back out.

     

    “Hello girls.  How may I help you?”

     

    Kit looked expectantly at Bette who simply stared.

     

    Kit glared at Bette, but the younger child didn’t notice as she continued to stare at Dorothy Kennard.  When the silence became too awkward to bear, Kit finally spoke.

     

    “I am Katie Porter and this is my sister Bette.  Bette was hoping she could speak to Tina.  Right, Bette?”

     

    Bette nodded and then blurted out, “You look just like Tina, but a grown-up.”

     

    Dorothy smiled, “Well, that’s because I’m her mother.  Do you look like your mother?”

     

    Kit tensed.  Not only was everyone afraid to mention Bette’s mother but Kit wasn’t sure how Bette felt about her obvious physical differences from her mother.

     

    “Daddy always said I did.”

     

    “You see! Just like Tina and I look alike.  I’m sorry, though, girls.  Tina is out with her father.  She’ll be back soon, though, so why don’t you come in and wait?”  Dorothy gestured to the inside of her home.

     

    Kit hesitated.  She saw Bette’s nervousness growing and feared that the child would have a meltdown at any moment.  Kit decided that it would be better if her sister walked around the block while they waited.

     

    “We’ll come back in a little bit.”

     

    “That’s fine.  They won’t be long.  I’ll tell Tina that you stopped by and will be back soon.”

     

    Bette looked at Kit in panic.

     

    Kit saw Bette’s reaction and responded quickly before Dorothy shut the door.  “We want it to be a surprise.”

     

    “Oh.  Then I won’t mention that you stopped by.”

     

    “Thank you.”  Kit smiled.

     

    Bette smiled shyly at Dorothy.

     

    “Bye girls,” the mother smiled as she shut the door.

    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.
