The L Wing chapter 175
I look at her – she just looks fantastic in all black – boots, trousers, shirt, waistcoat and jacket – all just make her skin seem fairer and her hair blonder. She raises an eyebrow
“Tonight Porter “she says softly
“I was thinking the same thing “
“Great minds and all that “
“How is she? “ I ask
“Devastated about Maggie but – hell Bette I see her and “she shakes her head lost for words. She frowns and after a few minutes silence she begins again
“The last time we stayed with Kit she showed the Porter home movies – remember?”
“Yes – another way of showing me up “
“Precisely – anyway – there is a one of you – the smart under grad home from your prestigious university – you and your dad are gardening. Bette – its like the girl in that home movie walked out of the screen and was standing in front of me – if I ever decide I want rid of you Leigh might get seduced by an older woman “
I laugh and move my arm so it is round her shoulder – she moves closer to me and kisses my neck
“I am aroused by the way – you may need to take care of me”
“I was just thinking that I am pretty aroused so I may have to take care of both of us “
“You have a date babe “
“So – tell me about her ?”
“Typical anger about losing her mom – feels cheated and everything. She is still coming to terms with you being her sister. “
“What do I do Tina – leave her alone today or not? “
“She wants to meet you “
“She does? “
“Yes – I told her that you are a good and special person and we want her to take as much time as she needs. She is special Bette – she is Melvin’s daughter in more ways that she will ever know “
“Does she really want to meet me?”
“Yes of course. “
“Thank you for reaching out to her “
“I felt an affinity with her that can only be explained by her connection with you “
I face her “Really? “
“Yes “

I’m sure Bette had to deal with discrimination, but I want to quibble with you a bit about Republicans. While I am a life-long independent (I don’t care who you are, you have to work for MY vote), my grandmother was the state secretary in the Republican party in the 50s (she was born in 1898). Obviously for equal rights for women and personally worked to help the Black community. Her husband, also Republican, was one of very few lawyers in our northern area who would represent Blacks. Granted, far too often today the party panders to small minded bigots who hate in the name of GEEEZUS to get their votes as a base to serve corporate greed. When my grandmother was involved religion was never discussed as having anything to do with politics. That is a relatively new factor. But when my grandparents were around, they saw it as the party most interested in minimal government interference and pro-personal freedom, an organization for the middle class more than giant corporations. Going back even farther it was the party of Lincoln, the Democrats of the day were pretty solidly behind maintaining the status quo in regards to slavery. All of this to say that I don’t think it accurate to equate being a Republican with bigotry. I will now descend from my soapbox. And I hope things go well between Bette and Leigh.
AllyE, you are doing a great job with this story and putting in the historical facts. You have a great grasp on our politics and life in general in the states. Telling it through Bette’s eyes is wonderful and spot on. There is one paragraph on the first page that is very pertinent in my life and I have to show it to someone. Although I have told her enough times. Thank you.
one simple word..LOVELY
Tina is gonna be put on bed rest or something, isn’t she??? This pregnancy is off to a rocky start and Bette is not seeing the signs. have a good time with ur lady!!!
Loved it!! I really can’t wait for Leigh and Bette to finally just…talk. Good luck this weekend my friend..let me know how it goes! *WINK*
Ally you little devil, ya left us with the subtle cliff hanger!! PPS
Ally, You are a marvelous writer – your vision of how Tina holds Bette’s emotions in her heart and helps this wounded leader deal with all she’s been through and all she carries as the POTUS is simply inspired storytelling obviously written by a woman with a huge kind and generous heart. Thanks for all the stories you share.
I love the way Tina is Bette’s sounding board for so many things and how Tina holds Bette’s heart in the palm of her hand.
Great as usual Ally. Loved how you added the history of the time through Bette. Tina always has,had a calming affect on Bette. Their is ony one person in my life who can do the same and all it takes is a look or slight touch, and its not even someone I’m with. Bette will be an awesome Mother, and good for her for not giving a crap if the “Republicans” walked out.
Great, thanks so much
catching up yet again. funnyone – i was clapping as you were decending from the soapbox. thanks.
Tina is good for Bette!
