===================
The same Los Angeles hotel – early evening
“There’s Bette,” said Tina trying to catch the eye of her lover as Bette stepped into the hotel dining room.
Lainey looked where Tina was looking and saw one of the most beautiful women she had ever seen. She looked like a movie star or model. For a moment Elaine thought ‘way to go, sis,’ and then remembered that this was a woman and her sister was a woman.
Bette was as charming as she was beautiful and that was saying a great deal. She was interesting, funny, curious about Lainey’s silicon valley job. Lainey thought that Tina and Bette seemed like good friends as much as anything. They didn’t touch or say anything that suggested they were intimate. Lainey did not know that Bette and her sister had discussed this earlier and were deliberately not being demonstrative. She felt a little better. Perhaps they were just roommates, not lovers, and she had misunderstood.
“Elaine Kennard, what are you doing here with one of the best art dealers in Los Angeles?” a voice boomed.
The three women at the table looked up and saw Bill Rosser, Elaine’s boss. He extended a hand to Bette and they shook hands warmly.
“Bill, this is my girlfriend, Tina Kennard, Elaine’s sister. And Tina, this is Bill Rosser, one of my best customers.”
On an invitation Bill joined the ladies at the table. He praised Elaine as one of his outstanding junior executives and waxed eloquent about Bette’s knowledge of art. He mentioned several of his recent purchases and how pleased he was.
As he got ready to leave, he said to Elaine, “Bette Porter is one of the shrewdest business people I have ever worked with. I think she is actually a business major, not an art major.”
Then he looked at Tina, “Ms. Kennard, you have captured the most eligible woman in Los Angeles. Many congratulations.” And he was gone.
In his wake he left an amused Bette, a surprised Tina and an overwhelmed Elaine.
=================
Lainey again
In the months to follow, Lainey had spent several weekends with Bette and Tina. It was somewhat uncomfortable for her, particularly the first time. But it did get easier.
The first time she stayed, she was once and for all disabused of any hope that her sister was in a platonic relationship. She had opened the door to the guest room very early one morning and saw Bette and Tina in a passionate kiss Bette’s hands were on Tina’s hips, pulling Tina into her and Tina’s hands were in Bette’s hair. There was no mistaking the passion.

Very nicely done, please continue.
DAMN HOMOPHOBIC BASTARDS!!!!!That’s alright cuz u’ve got ur sista, yo woman and nothing else even matters. keep on chugging through the world with them and u’ll be fine. please post soon. PEACE.
that touched a chord.. while i enjoyed the light heartedness of the last chapter, i think this was brilliantly written. thank you!
Pancha,AW girl that was so soft and tender after all of that heartache, Tina just want Bette to love and comfort her while Bette was anxious that Tina was panning her escape from this remarkable relationship.Crossed wires or what!And all this after the light and fluffiness of the previous chapter. I did laugh heartily at Tina’s money saving actions and more so at Bette’s reactions to them.And it was a jaw stopping moment when Tina admitted that she had bought Bette the painting.This installment was delightfully built up and then heartbreakingly traumatic as Lainey finally opened her eyes and saw the love between her sister and Bette. Topped by the rebuke of her parents as Tina’s heart broke a little and was mended by her lover; her life; Bette.I did get misty eyed reading this part and this is due to you and your fabulous fiction. You conveyed and demonstrated the fears and depths of emotions that these characters are experiencing and made them totally believable.Written wondrously form the heart and soul.Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share this with me.Your Loyal Fan.
You did a really good job with this chapter. Having Tina’s sister call Bette was a nice touch.
hehe, I know finally Tina will tell Bette to make love to her. It’s desperate, but you can do nothing to change it when it’s your parents who are disapproval your lifestyle. You can only choose obedience or escape.
that was fucking sad..parents are important but if they can support her own flesh and blood than Tina have to move on and try to be happy with someone that loves her beyond words..im glad Tina have someone like Bette in her life and vice versa..i hope in their path will never cross a Candass to mess…cant wait for more thanks
*sigh* this is one of my favourite chapters.. I think many of the gay people been through such thing while coming out to their parents or friends..
It was sad, tender,beautigul and tender..I will agree, in our state we have more Bigots than cattle. Most of all a big bunch of assholes. . .Lpve that Lainey left with Tina. and Bette was there to pick up the pieces. Withher love and understanding. THANK
“Must confess that I had to look up “verklempt.” And when I did, I was very pleased.” You don’t know Linda Richman, hon? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_Talk_with_Linda_Richman#Coffee_Talk_with_Linda_Richman She’s like buttah!
parents are so wonderful, aren’t they! NOT! Thank you for that chapter, it shows the reality of what our families can be like. Please post soon.
My heart is breaking for Tina, and for Bette. Whenever two people can find each other and love each other we should celebrate. There should always be ‘A Time to Love’ (thank you, Stevie). Thanks Pancha. You’re like buttah, girl!
HEY EVERYBODY! IF YOU LOVE THIS FIC AS MUCH AS I DO, PLEASE JOINE ME IN CONTRIBUTING TO THE SITE! DO PAYPAL – IT’S QUICK, IT’S PAINLESS, FOR THE COST OF A COUPLE LATTES PER MONTH, WE CAN CALL KEEP READING FABULOUS FAN FICTION LIKE PANCHA’S! Thanks!
how heart wrenching..so sad..so real..u r a great writer:)
wonderful chapter it was so sad and so exactly how so many families react right down to Lainey not approveing but at least accecpting…ive just read your last chapter and left my longwinded comment there… enjoyed both chapters very much… so is the next one NC17??? ok only asking..lol
fergz – you know my thoughts.this was wonderfully written. i havent done the parent thing yet. but im so looking forward to that. *sigh* it will be quite alot like what will happen in your story. oh well to be so sad for them. thanks YES EVERYBODY MAKE A CONTRIBUTION!!!
i feel sorry for tina but bette will make it better.
Oh wow! Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the floor. There are those who say that blood is thicker than water, that the familial ties are the ties that bind. I say water is clearer than blood (I love my parents, and I am not dissing them here. Just saying, in general). Friends and lovers who see us as we are tend to be more unconditional in their understanding, acceptance and expectations of us. Well, that’s not an absolute universal truth, but for me, it’s one of the few things that makes life worth living. Amazing chapter as always, Pancha. Cheers!
Why you have to choose between your family and your lover is beyond me. Sad chapter but well written. Thanks a bunch pancha and your last chapter kicked ass.
Pancha that was wonderful, a little sad but Tina does have Bette and her love to help her through the rough patches. Parents sometimes act like that but they should realize that to have their daughter’s love is more important than worrying about who she loves and sleeps with. No one on this earth is that saintly. Thanks for the post.
Damn this is sad and hurt very much. Well Bette will make Tina’s pain go way. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Oh wow! That was so eye-wateringly sad. But yet so brilliantly written. Keep it coming Pancha!
That was a deep chapter,had to be written and u did it very well. Now for the sake of my heart and sanity, send the to a softball game. Just kiddin. Thanks again for takin the time.
man that was real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heartbreakingly true for way to many of us post soon
beautiful!Poor Tina..
Serious chapter indeed, telling the parents is always the hardest part… hope Tina will recover soon and move on to happier times, at least she has her sister by her side.
for Asian family…is always a big NO..
wow that was ruff!! they will make it thru!
very nicely done!
“Make love to me, Bette.”“Are you sure you want to? You look so sad.”“I want you to touch me and take the sadness away.”How heart wrenching, devastating, and truely beautiful way to get thru it…
that was tough, when your family doesn’t accept you it’s sad, really sad…but together B&T can overcome anything…thank you
