The Set Up (30) – Final Chapter
“If we have that much time. Yes …”
“You’re right … we should … bedroom …”
Bette gladly steered them over, making their way down the familiar hall.
“Do you think maybe one of these days we’ll finish a meal the proper way? … You know … without having sex in between.”
“Mmm … no no, this is the proper way.”
Tina laughed and reached for Bette’s clothes, too, disappearing into their room.
Bette and Tina would enjoy many more moments of privacy over the next few years, before it was no longer an issue.
It all started one Saturday afternoon, when Darnell dropped by, asking to speak with Tina. He sat in the living room with her, refusing any beverages because he was trying to keep his nerve. And, the couple being so young, neither Bette nor Tina had seen it coming.
“I’d like to ask you for your daughter’s hand in marriage.” As bold as he could be.
Tina looked up to Bette with fear and surprise in her eyes, completely shocked. “But … it’s …” she started, taking some time to look around the room and to gather her thoughts.
“Up to Angelica,” Bette offered softly, sitting next to Tina. “Look at me.”
Tina did.
“Think about what you really want for your baby. And now think about how happy she is with him,” Bette said quietly, wrapping her arm around Tina. She had seen it coming – the way he and Angelica discussed the future. And Bette chuckled when she saw the shaky way Darnell was rubbing his hands together. “Take your time, hunny. I just want you to think, okay? I know it seems soon, but wasn’t it soon for us, too?”
“We were older.”
“Isn’t she about sixty-seven in ‘Angie years’, as you call it?”
Darnell laughed, despite himself, getting down to his knees to look at the patient women speaking with one another. And he took the chance to interrupt. “Mrs. Porter … Both Mrs. Porters … but Tina especially … please. She’s all I live for. She means everything to me, and I’ll do anything to prove to you that I’ll keep her safe and love her all the days I have left. I’ll never hurt her – I swear. Please … I just want to start my life with her … no more waiting. I’m ready, and I love her more than I can tell you.”

When you love something from the first chapter it only makes it that much sadder when ut has to come to an end. Beautifully written as always GR. Hope to see you back real soon :D
Such an AMAZING Story!!!! Thank you so much for it!!! You wrote it so beautifuly and it was so full of love thankyou!!! Hope to get a new story from you soon.
I really enjoyed this story. I was however thinking that at some point that Angie’s “sperm donor”, was going to make an appearance and try to start trouble for Tina and Bette, and that we would really see how Angie had grown to love Bette, and start to call her Mom or her Mama B. But as it was written, I truly still did love it dearly. Thank You so much. Looking forward to another one of your stories.
Thank for your wonderful story! No drama, no terror, just pure unadulterated love for this amazing family. I appreciate the time and effort that you put forth. Sorry to see this story end but I am sure that there is another masterpiece on your computer to come. Thank you.

Hi there GrindRight! nice ending to a great story, compelling from the first chapter, with characters full of emotions and unforgettable dialogues.I really admire you, I love the way you tell your story, when you want to convey something, you do it with your writing very easy and that is just because you have talent.I can not stand the urge to read a new story of yours.Reading “Fifty shades of Grey”, you’ve read it?, I could not help imagining a version of it with Bette and Tina of course written by you,what do you think? the Fifty shades of Porter.I would die if you do it,but after of read it! hahahaha!
I love this story; sorry it has ended

Beautiful ending to an amazing story.

I hate to see it end, but loved every word. Thanks for sharing this wonderful story!
Wow, so sad to see this story go. Please start a new fix soon, as you are one of those unique writers with stories so vivid and rich they seem so real. Excellent fix with a creative ending!
Thank you GR!! I do enjoy reading your story! :-) This will be one of the story which will be re-read in the future :-) the final chapter is simply heart warming and it’s so touching on how Angelica realized on how much Tina took her role from being someone strong to look after her daughter to finally being herself and let Bette be the strong one for her and Angelica :-) so sweet – so lovely :-) thanks again GR!! Appreciate your kindness in sharing your amazing talent with us! will be stick around and waiting for more stories from you ;-)

Thank you for your amazing writing. You have created the perfect story for your characters. I loved every chapter and the way you created Angie’s future. Perfect! I’m sad to see it end but look forward to more incredible stories. Awesome!
Read it all at once – great stuff, thanks for writing it! :)
Hello GrindRight,How are you? Sorry I’ve been away for such a long time. The intensity of the sex scenes in yourStory got me in trouble. I am just now escaping the arms of someonewho doesn’t belong to me. I’m grateful that I didn’t get caught inEurope. (Mercy), you are most definitely an amazing writing. “The Set Up”, althoughthis literally happened to me while reading your story, I also hate that it’sending. And the moral to the story is this “Always choose Love”. Je t’aime GrindRight!
That was awesome and beautiful and is sad to see it ending. Thanks for sharing this story with us, can’t wait to see your new story coming, thanks!
I wished you had continued this story….
I really enjoyed this Story and would give five stars for each of the 30 posts – if I had the time :)
A Sequel would be great with Bette and Tina as Grand moms :)
Loved it…. .Thank you
