Bette: She does have an amazing voice and has had a rather successful career. Anyway, when my father was married to his first wife, he had a wandering eye and indulged his ego by carrying on affairs outside of his marriage. That is how he met my mother. They met at a charity event in Philadelphia and fell in love. Dad divorced Catherine and married Maxine and I was born several months later. My father was not an easy person to live with and so he and Maxine had many disagreements. One day, my mother had enough of my father, packed her bags and left and I never saw her again. She left me to be raised by my father. My father was a great provider but he was somewhat a conservative in his perception of values and more or less strict with the rules. He was a lawyer by profession. He was a graduate of Harvard and was a partner in the law firm he worked for. He was active in the Civil Rights movement which I only really found out about after he died. He very much wanted me to follow in his footsteps and go to Harvard and become a lawyer. Being who I am, I was determined not to follow his life example so I went to Yale and majored in American Literature with a minor in Political Science. After college, I moved to New York and went to work for The New York Times. I was put on the police and local court beat. It was my job to report on the arrest and the court dockets in Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. That was during the time when David Dinkins was Mayor and the Police Riots occurred in the early 90s. Rudy Giuliani was trying to unseat Dinkins and did all he could to incite violence to make Dinkins look weak.
Tina: I would like to have some water? How about you? Then you can continue.
Bette: That sounds good.
Tina got up and went to the kitchen and found a couple of bottles of water in the fridge and brought it back to Bette. In the meantime, Mark had exited the Presidential suite and left for his own cabin.

Jeez!?,
I’ve only read the first paragraph and am welling up….how do you do that?
I can’t think of a time when they are not together.
I’ll continue reading now, tough beginning though
I’ll comment on the flip side
Thankyou for all your incredible stories Martha…your a f@@king Rockstar
Well, what a story, I really enjoyed it.
I love how they meet, their time at Camp David and the natural progression they took together.
Try really are perfect for each other and your story certainly reflects that.
I still can’t bear to think of them not being together!
Thank you so much, a beautiful story.
I look forward to the next one.
Janice24,
First of all this story is an alternative time and life for our Bette and Tina. The story is being told by a woman who is older (85 years old) and has experienced a full and joyful life with the woman she loved. They have had more than 40 years together even though they didn’t meet until they were middled aged. I like that they took the time to get to know one another for a few days before charging into a romantic relationship. I like that Bette insist that Tina think about her own life and if she is prepared for the changes which will occur as they start to see each other romantically. Bette wants Tina to make her decision about her life knowing the possible downside. For me, that shows immediately how much Bette respects and cares for Tina right out of starting gates. I also like that Bette insist they talk about things fully as they go. She seeks out Tina’s boundaries and comfort level before they do anything. This is why their relationship is so strong…. they hide nothing from each other.
From the idea to publication, I took 4 days… I enjoyed writing this story because I could see that both Bette and Tina would go from a mundane life to a life of love and devotion within a matter of weeks. And it would result in a lifetime of happiness. Isn’t that what we all want in our lives?
Thank for reading and for commenting on this story… until I saw your comments, I didn’t think anyone had read it…. Thank you for your support and encouragement…
OMG! How did I let this gem get past me. I loved every word. I would love to read something else from you, thank you so much for your talent.
OneStorm1 – Thank you for reading… I published this a little more than a year ago and I posted it this year on Achieve of Our Own. I do have three long book stories which is a single series and one other one shot which is about the same length as this one. I then not to writer about angst and problems between Bette and Tina. I think there are plenty of authors who present those kind of stories. All my published stories are on this website. Go to the story search page, put my name in under author (Martha3128) and they are all listed.
