“I still can’t bring myself to accept the path you’ve chosen. The fact that you’ve accepted the affections of Miss Kennard. That you’ve been weak enough to fall into this destructive path.”
Bette tensed and her jaw clenched. “Daddy – – -,” she began.
There was a pleading tone in Melvin’s somber baritone. “Please hear me out. I just….before you get on that plane, I just wanted you to know. I cannot accept it. And I probably never will. But you are my daughter. You are the flesh of my flesh and I still….I still love you. And I wish you all the best this summer.”
The young woman was at a loss for words. The conflicting tenets of her father’s position, love, and acceptance all collided and left her numb.
As her silence continued, Melvin spoke again. “I don’t want to delay you. Get ready for your flight and have a safe trip.”
Bette looked down, tears filling her eyes. “Thank you. Thank you for calling,” she whispered.
Melvin cleared his throat. “I’ll speak to you soon, Bette. I love you.”
And then the line clicked and he was gone.
Bette didn’t have long to ponder her father’s call. The phone in her hand vibrated once more and a broad grin spread across her full lips.
“Hey T,” she answered.
Unknowingly, Tina exhaled the breath of one who’d arrived home after a long trip abroad and she replied, “Bette, hi.”
“Where are you? Are you home yet?”
Tina shook her head and answered, “Not yet. We’re about 2 hours out. My mom finally convinced my dad to stop for something to eat so we’re at one of those gas-stations with a restaurant. I kind of snuck off to call you.”
“I miss you, Tina.”
“I miss you, too. I don’t know how I’m going to do these 3 months. It’s only been a few hours and I’m already losing it.”
“I know. But we’ll make it, T. We have to.”
On the coattails of her words, the chipper voice of the attendant crackled over the PA system, the volume blocking out Tina’s response.
A familiar panic started to nip at Bette and she stood up, pressing the phone tightly to her ear. “T? I can’t hear you.”

OMG, i’m soooo happy to see you’re back!!! i loved this chapter!! uh-oh, trouble at the Kennard casa? Please let B&T be ok!! post soon, plz!
Oh, so good to see your posting. Welcome back!
Hello MTS, I have just finished consuming your latest adorable adventure. I feel like an addict ready for my next fix. Your words haunt me as the bonds between mother and child are examined. Janice is only now starting to appreciate the joy that her daugther can bring to her life. While Tracy knows that something is different about her child. Tina isn’t helping matters with her secrecy and odd behavior. The mirroring of these events is awesome. As always, MTS, you provoke and makes us all think. Brilliant. Just loving it all. many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Hello Miss MTS… so glad to see you back on the road with this story… Looking forward to the rollercoaster you’ll be creating with this FF.
It’s fantastic. Really great. I hope they arent actually apart for 3 months. That would be terrible. pps.
Tina’s mom is so close to guessing what is going on with Tina. It is nice to see that Bette is getting the royal treatment. Before Bette was all stressed but now she is more relaxed and now it is Tina’s turn to stress out.
well for people who really dont even know that lezzies exist, there minds cant even go there. its funny when they figure it out tho. thx, glad your back.
I’m so glad to see you post! You have no idea how much I love the two other stories that preceded this one. Thanks for taking the time to continue with this series. ;D
U have been MISSED!!!!
I smell trouble in the form of Tracy Kennard. How cute is “Tiny Tina and Baby Bette” huh. I’m so glad you’re giving this a 3rd dimension. Lookin forward for more!
I was only thinking yesterday how much I missed this story, was even going to PM but then thought ‘no pressure’ and here u r. That was ssssoooooooo intense & I hate them being apart as much as they do. I wanna say PPS but no pressure. Thx.
I’m happy you see you back. I loved the others two stories of Roommate. Which way you may go with B&T. I hope without much drama and a happy end for this two as a happy married couple.
Hey MTS, It is so wonderful and a real treat to have you back on the site and posting more of this magnificent melodrama. I just adore everything you have wriiten. Can’t wait to immerse myself in your delicious drama. I’ll be back when I’ve read this new chapter. SO excited that I can hardly make sense of the words. Yippee!!! Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Such a amazing suprise to see you posted again! Great chapter. I think it’s safe to say that a lot of us have been in this situation with their mother much like Tina is right now. I can only wish her the best. Please post again soon.
yeah your back!! been waiting for this story….will tina tell her mom? i think her mom will figure it out soon enough… mom always seem to know these things..:)
I am glad you brought us the next phase of the story. I am liking that Bette and Janice have this time to bond and get to know one another. Tracy is being a rude unsupportive bitch to Tina and then wonders why Tina won’t talk to her. Maybe if she treated her with a little respect Tina wouldn’t feel so terrified of being herself. Fantastic writing!
Hey, u r back wt another “season”. This is great!! Thanks for coming back n pls keep posting as best u can.
Glad to see this story back! Thanks!
wow, you’re back!!!!! i’m so excited about this next part…i hope tina’s parents will understand when the truth will come out
welcome back ! its nice to read your story again i missed this one thanks for posting and taking the time to write again
That was great and love it!
