Tina’s hair was clasped into a twist, but little pieces kept falling down to touch the sides of her face, so she neatly tucked them back behind her ears. She tried to calm herself so she could at least look into Bette’s eyes and be honest with her.
“What happened with Angelica?”
Tina grabbed another Kleenex, crumpling it in her hand. “A couple of the girls at school – they’re in grade four … they were teasing her. They’ve been teasing her for a while, I guess … And I just can’t stand the thought that she hadn’t told me until now. And I don’t know what to do …”
Bette quickly got up to sit on the bed beside Tina, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “Hey … you don’t have to be alone. And you don’t have to be perfect, either. You’ll figure something out.” She took the Kleenex from Tina and unfolded it to dry Tina’s tears. “Maybe after I throw those girls in prison, hey?”
Tina chuckled despite her sadness, “They’re just kids, Bette.”
“Well they deserve to be locked away for hurting Angelica. I bet she’s never done anything to hurt anyone in her whole life.”
“Well, I don’t know about that, but … she’s my baby,” Tina whispered, afraid to fall to pieces again. Her lips trembled, her nose flared and her eyes watered. She looked so devastated, and so lost.
“It’s okay,” Bette whispered back, smoothing her arm down Tina’s back. “Hey, it’s okay.” She rubbed her back and accommodated when Tina’s head turned in to tuck under her neck. “Shhh,” she smiled, a little surprised at Tina’s raw emotion, but glad for it. She eagerly wrapped both arms around Tina and held onto her, feeling her cheek against the soft, blond hair.
“I feel so useless …”
“I’ll bet she’s already feeling better. You love her so much, and she can see that. She confided in you. That should feel pretty great.”
“Yeah,” Tina whispered, burying herself closer to Bette as they leaned back. She needed to be held, but she wasn’t used to asking for it. She wasn’t even used to being held at all. She’d gone through most of her motherhood with only distant friends to console her, but the touch was heavenly. She wanted to crawl inside of Bette, even as strange as the desire was. She couldn’t seem to be close enough.

yess first!!! you slay me GR!!! Another amazing update. I love how much Tina loves Angie and vise versa. I really hope Angie feels better soon and like that Bette could help her with that. Can’t wait to read more!! Thanks!! :)
Seriously your writing is amazing and I was so happy to see the update! I love the way your stories have such a natural flow to them, it seems so true and honest! PPS!
I´m really pleased every time I see a new post! That was a fantastic chapter! ♥
Yup! In the last chapter, when Bette said “I don’t love Angie” I just laughed out loud. We really don’t know when love is going to find us do we?
Once upon a time, a very special author appeared she goes by the name GrindRight. She tells stories to woman about woman. She consistently entertains her readers by telling passionate stories regarding love, friendship, romance, erotica, and parenting. Stories, which not only entertain the readers but also teach lessons on how to better, cope with life circumstances. She is extremely talented. Thank you once again for sharing your gift. Seduction just cannot resist “do your thing GrindRight,” much love!
Thanks GR for another amazing update!! :-) its very touching to read about their bonding and it’s such a simple thing in life which reflected how great is their love.. And I am still in awe on this fabulous update! Thank you GR! :-) its wonderful to start the day by reading this lovely moment.
Angelica straightening her hair isn’t going to make the bullying stop, they’ll find something else to pick on. A lot of the time, it’s about perceived weaknesses, and ANY thing that’s different. Children can be absolutely vicious, even the very young. Tina maybe needs to talk to Angie about her heritage, help her understand more about where she came from. And she’s now got a biracial girlfriend, perhaps Bette has had some comparative experience, and could help. And yes, Angelica’s father was an ass for abandoning her, but it’s a talk that sounds like it’s already way overdue between mother and daughter. She shouldn’t be ashamed of what and who she is and seeking to change at such a young age. As for suicide… Angelica is what, eight years old in this story? And now that Tina’s aware of some of the problems her child is facing, I think things will take a turn for the better, at least a little. Thanks for posting!
Very Powerfull and well done!!! Great Chapter!!! Thank you
Amazing as always.Thank you.
WOW how difficult it is for me to write a comment that is to the height of the writer!Not much to add to what we have said only add that the actions and demonstrations of love for Bette to Tina and Angie are what really need them and i’m very surprised with the ease that Bette has left her side of player,i thought it would be harder for her.And about Angie being bullied at school,is something still i can’t understand,maybe because it never happened to me or friends and also because i think is something exclusive of american society,with this i don’t say that not happen in other places,discrimination is everywhere.Incredible story that leaves you thinking,feeling and wanting that never runs out GR your writing has definitely improved over time! PPVS!!!!
Beautiful chapter I love your story GR I just love it
That was simply wonderful. Thank you for this story.
I will just reiterate with what Seduction, Dainty and jp22 said.
That was great and poor Angie and hope they will work something to help Angie out, good to see Bette is there for Tina. Please post more, thanks!
Great update. Angelica in this story has bothered me from the beginning because it felt to me as though she knew she wouldn’t be available to her mother. As if she knew she wouldn’t be alive in a bit. There were times that she said things that made me feel that way and it chilled me to my bones to have those feelings about her and worse yet that she felt those things for whatever reason. Now I feel like it may be suicide since she has confided in her mother about the bullying. I hope Tina talks to the principal as well as monitor the situation to see just who it is that is bothering Angie, since Angie won’t tell her mother who the bullies are. Maybe Bette, Vicki and Tasha can monitor Angie throughout her school day to see who the bullies are. I believe that Angie thinks if her father is with Tina she will not be alone. What she, of course, doesn’t understand is that he did not want to be there and be responsible for either of them. Tina needs to tell her the truth, she is old enough now to know the bloody truth about her sperm donor because he certainly isn’t a father. After previous chapters I did not want to write what I was thinking and now that Tina knows what her problems are she needs to contact the school and do something about this even if it means moving her to a private school if that would stop the problem. Tina also needs to think about the outcome now that she knows what bullying does to a child so that Angie won’t take her own life thinking that is the only way out of allthe pain and uncertainty of her young life. I would hate to read that Angie has killed herself because of some damned crazy kids. Please tell us that everything will be okay with her, Tina and Bette. Thanks.
Perfect :) This gave me butterflies. I think Bette is just what Tina needs during this hard time. My heart yearns for Angie, I know what its like to feel like she does. I just hope she knows that Bette and Tina love her. Can’t wait to read more! Pps
One of the kids (a girl) I cared for, came to me one day, saying that kids tease her and call her names because she is so smart, focused and always on the honor role at school. She said all these things to me with a sense of ‘its ok, I am strong, it’s funny’. As I listened to her I saw through her pretense of strength, and I remember sitting with talking about her emotions etc, and I turned to her and said ‘ listen kids will tease you about being nerdy etc, but think of it this way, most nerds are successful, wealthy, etc. So let them tease you its ok, you have your dreams and a determination to succeed. Her little sister over heard me also and since that time, she has pressed on. I know sometimes advice like that won’t be taken by some kids, and thats because one things cannot work for all kids. It worked for her. As for emotions- keeping them bottled up inside, I know first hand what the consequences of that are, and today I encourage all people to cry, speak your truth, don’t hide it for to speak it and feel it is true courage and healing. ENCOURAGE YOURSELF AND LOVED ONES TO CRY- THERE IS NO SHAME OR WEAKNESS IN IT!!
Wonderful update
Not much to add to what’s already been said. This is simply masterful!
I love Seduction’s short story about you GR, only there is no ending and that’s always a happy ending. Thank you dear master storyteller😘
Bullies and bullying sucks especially in grade school. As always … Thanks for sharing.
