“I do, Tina. Please don’t cry.” Bette reached across the table and grasped her other hand, this time holding it tightly, refusing to let it go. “I never promised her anything, didn’t give her any false hope about anything other than what it was. I didn’t feel anything for her. She meant nothing to me. Tee, I’m sorry I was dishonest with my body, but my heart never strayed.”
“It still hurts, Bette.”
“I know, baby. I know it hurts. I was vulnerable and weak and she jumped on that weakness.”
“But what happens when you feel weak and vulnerable again. Whom will you go to then?”
“My wife. I’d come to you to get me through it. Believe me. I’m monogamous, Tina. ”

The rest of the evening was spent window-shopping up and down Melrose and Fairfax. The sidewalks were filled with hip people hanging on to those last vestiges of the weekend before going home to prepare for Monday. As people walked past them, many smiled at them. Tina and Bette were walking down the street, holding hands, talking, occasionally glancing at each other. They looked like a good looking, happy couple who were going through life worry-free.

“You know, Suzanne, I’m not asking for your permission.” Bette and her therapist were in the middle of a discussion about Tina’s move back into the house. She looked at her, then stared out of the window.
“I wasn’t giving it, Bette.”
“Well, it certainly sounded that way. Your tone was very disapproving. To ask if I think that we’ve made the right decision is—I don’t know, it just smacks of a parental judgment,” Bette folded her arms across her chest and glared at Suzanne.
“You think I’m judging you? Like your father?”
“It has nothing to do with my father.” Bette cut her off immediately. Suzanne had been baiting her, trying to draw her into a discussion about her father that would undoubtedly lead to a greater discussion about her mother and childhood. Bette was too smart for that. She would not be goaded into it. If that was Suzanne’s plan, she needed to come up with a new one. “Yes, I do think you’re making a judgment call.”

Portia, your story is pure genius. Congrats on finishing, and I so look forward to reading more of your writing in the future.
Portia just read your series excellent!!
Please write some more. Wonderful series.
I have been patiently waiting for your new chapter, wow was I blown away. I just Loved how you told your story with so much love along with the heartache that a couple feels with infidelity. It is the most intimate betrayle ones partner can do. It opens up so many doubts which you have explored thru your story along with ” we all have our own stories of our childhood” you also explored that thru your story which tells a lot how one’s behavior is in a relationship. I hope that you write more for us readers to enjoy. Thank-you very much.
This series was amazing!!!!
Portia, I just hope that my We are Family! Series comes out a fraction as good as this series was. You’re good, write some more, please! :D

Great work!
I’ve greatly enjoyed you story.You’ve done a great job making us feel all the emotiona that Bette&Tina feel or felt.
Portia – I loved your tory – I printed the whole thing out & read it like a novel – you write so fluidly and handle powerful emotion and angst so well and then wrap it all up neatly – what more could we ask for – a good meaty read – I admire greatly the ability to get into the head of a character – I can’t write for Toffee – but I read avidly. Please do create more of this quality – I’ll start your next story & keep looking out for your name. Thanks
