The Conversion

Tina: Yes, I would. That would really be something. I am not sure that has been a whole lot has been written on that subject. But these people are public servants and they should be recognized as such.
Bette: They are an essential part of our government, yet they are totally invisible. Let’s think about this.
Tina: Bette, I have enjoyed this day with you. I don’t know when I have laughed so much and just enjoyed being alive.
Bette: I’ve enjoyed my day with you as well. You have allowed me to just be me and take the day just as it comes. I don’t seem to get a whole lot of those and this was really nice.
It was right at that time that the electricity went out. The only light in the room was the fire place. Then some battery-operated lights came on. Andy and two other butlers came into the room and began to unplug many of the electronic devices.
Andy: We are in the process of switching to the solar batteries. To keep our usage low, we are unplugging all unnecessary electronic devices and resetting the thermostat. Ethel will bring you both some battery-operated lights to use in your bedroom. They are safer than candle light and easier to use.
Ethel: Ladies, if you plan to shower, now might be a good time to get it before the cabin cools down to 60 degrees. Otherwise, I would advise that you hold off until the electricity comes back on. Oh, and do not wash your hair. We would rather you not use your hair dryer until the electricity comes back on.
Tina: How long do you think it will be before it comes back on?
Andy: We are in a rural area, so we will be last on the priority list particularly since the President is in Washington DC. Oh yes, the temperature outdoors is expected to drop to about 8 degrees. We will more than likely turn the stove eyes on low to provide some heat in that end of the house. The electricity may be off as long as three days. If the temperature goes much lower, then we may have to take a few more measures to be more efficient in our electrical usage.

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.
