    Author Notes:

    Dinner with the Porters…Take two. (B&T Beginning Set on a College Campus)

     

    Jean Pierre, having flashed his last disarming smile, quickly vanished, setting the stage for the next round of clever insults.

     

    Melvin reached for his wine glass and asked, “Damon, have you aligned yourself with any of the fraternities on campus?”

     

    Damon smiled curtly. “Not as of yet. Though I have considered it. Mr. Porter, I’m my own man. I really don’t like the idea of being defined by an artificially created brotherhood.”

     

    Melvin nodded and sipped his Pinot Noir before setting his glass back on the table and responding.

     

    “Sounds like the response of a man unaware of the invisible strings which pull this fantastically orchestrated experience we call life. I am a proud lifetime member of the oldest African-American Fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. I went over at Alpha chapter; Cornell University. I’m also a 32nd degree Mason.

     

    “It would do you well to learn this lesson, Mr. Lawrence: No one gets anywhere in this life without friends in high places. And seeing as how you lead a precarious life, relying on your physique to put books in your hand and a roof over your head, you will need friends in those high places.”

     

    This was getting out of control. The insults, the constant erosion of civility, it was all taking a toll on one Ms. Elizabeth Porter. She’d been practically silent up until this point.

     

    “Daddy, I think that’s enough.”, she said, her eyes meeting her father’s, her jaw set in anger, her uneasiness and worry giving way to a simmering rage that had begun to bubble beneath the shaking exterior.

     

    Damon smiled warmly and placed a hand on her knee, his eyes never leaving Melvin’s, a twinge of satisfaction flitting through him at the older man’s obvious discomfort with the spot he’d chosen for his left hand.

     

    “Bette, it’s quite all right. I totally understand your father’s position. Many fledgling young men join these organizations. They are unsure of themselves and their own ability to contribute to our society. They lack self-esteem and need to join these artificially created brotherhoods to feel like they are part of something. It allows them to compensate for their natural deficiencies.”

    6. That was intense. Melvin is truly a hyprocite. Damon was being a true friend…Bette had to stand up to Melvin. Just hope she would have told Tina. This is a battle she could use support with…and Tina could have provided that for her. Thanks for posting, please post soon.

    7. Damon Rocks! I love him so much and if you decide to spin off another stry it should totally be about him. Could Bette ask for a better friend? I think not! So Melvin is a jerk, what else is new. I think Bette is in for some serious disappointment when she makes it back down to San Diego to confront her dad. Thanks for posting and do it again real soon b/c this story is just grrrrrrreat!

    9. I was happy to see you back and wasn’t expecting such intensely powerful drama. Melvin has never accepted Bette for who she was. Damon is a great friend and protector. This has always been one of my favorite stories.

    12. did you give up on B&T ?I’ve read your story from the beginning and I miss it :-( Hope everything’s ok with you, it would be nice if you decide to post again, everyone over here would thrill, really, please continue your story ;-)

    13. I’ve spent the last week or so reading up on “The Roommates” and the sequel but has hit a pause in this story. Please allow me to say that I love the journey you’re creating for Baby Bette & Tiny Tina. Hope all’s well in your world and it’s only real life getting in the way of this wonderful fanfic. Looking forward to reading how Bette will deal with her recent revelations…and how it’ll affect her relationship with Tina.

    15. First of all, thank you sooo much for posting. I look for your story every day so what a treat to log on and find an update tonight. Secondly, I hate that Bette is running after Melvin! She has absolutely nothing to apologize for. If anyone should be apologizing it should be Melvin. I really think she needs to let Tina in on this. Bette tries to be so strong but deep down she needs support and who better to give her that support than Tina. Please post again soon!

    16. Holy shit. I know this isn’t real, but this conversation has happened and will continue to happen. I think sometimes I get so wrapped up in my “coming out” that I forget how easy I have it compared to this. I wonder if Damon will tell Tina. I know Bette doesn’t want Tina to be exposed, but Tina needs to be prepared in the event Melvin does pull Bette outta school and Bette can’t find a way to pay for it on her own. Now I can see why this chapter was so long. It had to be for all the intensity and realism to be present.

    20. Now that’s what I call coming out with a bang. We all know how important Bette’s father is to her so this is going to only get worse I suspect. But I thrust in you as a writer to take us where ever the road leads you.

    21. That was truly excellent, very intense and so real….one hell of a chapter. You’re one of the best writers on this side and that really says a lot :o)) I can’t help being drawn into the world you’re creating and I’m loving every minute of it……so please post more often. THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR….

    27. well melvin again proved that he is a first class ass hole… you have been deeply missed and i am glad you came back… and with a vengence… loved this story from day 1… please continue

    28. Wow, I wasn’t expecting that to come out of the dinner. I hope Bette truely knows what she is doing because it is going to be a very long battle. I hope that Melvin can find it in his stone cold heart to accept his daughter. Post again.

    36. I’ve been an avid reader of this story since I first joined this site….I don’t comment much but your story is truly a wonderful treasure. It captured my attention from the beginning and still does even now. This chapter was a surprise, but was a huge stepping stone in the story…kudos to you for continuing to write such an absorbing story and for keeping it so real.

    37. I’m so happy you’ve posted this wonderful chapter. I LOVE this story, it’s in my top three favorite stories. Can’t wait to find out what will happen next, poor Bette…

    39. MTS,I have just caught up with the last two chapters.And WOW! you have completely blown me away.I am shell-shocked.Given the tenacity and sheer viciousness of Melvin’s assault on Damon, I did have an onminous feeling that Bette was coming out to her father.And these scenes were wonderfully written with crisp and cutting dialogue to capture the true emotions of the moment.Finally Bette has released herself from the shackles of denial and fear however why didn’t she have resolve to tell the whole truth? Using Sidney as a defense was unnecessary and I’m sure will only end in tears.You described the pain and angst that finally pushed Bette into telling all perfectly. This is your talent and makes this story so special.Bette’s determination and stubbornness came through in her single-mindedness to face her father to clear the air and rebuild her shattered relationship.Damon was such a sweetie in trying to defend Bette and encourage her to let sleeping dogs lie and the dust to settle before charging in where angels fear to tread.Now you have to post soon.Please.Your Loyal Fan
