A helping hand and a push in the right direction-CH. 2
Bette Porter: (The night before meeting Eli)
Why do I keep doing this to myself. I’m a successful gallery owner, I have the best friends (to be honest I’m lucky that they’ve stayed with me and helped me get through one of the most difficult times in my life), and after countless therapy sessions I’m finally at a place where I like myself again. I have a great life but in a lot of ways I feel like I’ve taken a step back in my personal life. For the longest time I couldn’t bear to be with anyone, I would purposely set out to find their flaws and when they didn’t seem to have any I’d make that their flaw. My love life consisted of meaningless flings and after awhile Alice stopped trying to push me into a new relationship. I stopped dating for awhile and after a lot of talks with Kit and the rest of the family I decided to start going through therapy. I have to say it helped me get to a better place with myself, but I still can’t find someone who I’m willing to spend my life with. So I’ve had a few relationships last a couple of months (seven months is the record so far) and they were great women but I knew they’d want more (but I’m not willing to give them all of me) so I go on lots of dates hoping for something…
"…so Bette what do you think would you like to go to the gallery opening with me tomorrow…I know this shows nothing compared to the shows you put on but I can’t get out of it I promised my friend I’d go."
I have to stop spacing out on dates "I don’t know Sheryl I don’t think I’ll be able to make it, I’ve had a pretty long week and I was hoping to catch up on some stuff at home…"
"You know I don’t really have to go to the opening my friend will understand, maybe we can do something at your house, eat in maybe." I know I said I stopped looking for flaws but someone who’s willing to bail on their friends for someone they’ve only known for a little over a week isn’t something I’m looking for.

I’m 35 and I’ve all ready got a headache thinking about Pride weekend coming up…can’t imagine when I’m 50. I think Eli is about to shake things up….
keep em coming – you have a great sense of humor.
Good chapter. Alice is crazy!!!!!!
well, bette is heading for drama when eli show’s up or maybe only for romance?
Thanks glad someone likes my work, well the little work I’ve actually posted. lol Bette definitely doesn’t need drama. She’s what? Pushing 50 now if she’s not already there? Hell I’m 26 and don’t need drama. And Sheryl sucks.
I like your story looking forward to your next post..
Yeah, Lamentamini….Bette and her crew have to be getting a little long in the tooth to be getting hammered . The ol’ bod can’t take that abuse too often.
JUST SAY NO TO LESBO DRAMA! And you’re never too old to get hammered, azmama… this coming from a 20-yr-old. Anyway, great post! Love it! (and as a fellow student and slave, I understand infrequent posts :) )
Alice is hilarious.Good Post.
He girl, I understand the urge of wanting to post asap, i have that too. So yes, sometimes the chapters are short, but for everybody it is better than no chapter. Thanks for being my fan, it looks like i am becoming one of yours.
Bette has a very good friend and Alice is excellent! i am waiting for the next you have me hook wiht your post i am diying for a little talk between Tina and Bette. Take care!
Youth, Fifty isn’t old nor is sixty.or older than that. I like this story. Bette still has the old house. Maybe she is saving it for someone that will love it again. thanks
