Love and Pride chp 37
LOVE AND PRIDE Chapter 37
The journey took an hour with Bette driving and giving Tina a brief description of the places they were passing. Tina was in awe of the car that she was sitting in and the obvious ease that Bette showed in driving it. As they slowly left the city behind and the ocean came into view Tina took more attention of the beautiful sweeping scenery.
“I would really like to take you for lots of long walks – I’ve walked along these beaches so many times. It would be a dream come true to walk those beaches holding hands with my girlfriend “
Bette had been quiet for several minutes. She knew that Tina was still very raw and would need a lot of love and attention – but also she would need her own space and time to get her head around everything that had happened. Bette was determined to do whatever Tina needed her to do – even if sometimes it was “do nothing “.
Tina looked across at Bette who was smiling at her – the shock that she had been feeling since her mother had reacted so violently to her revelation about being in love with a woman was still there but another emotion was now taking over her – love. The love she knew was growing every hour she spent with the kind and loving brunette – a love she could not imagine ever fading regardless of what fate brought her.
“That would be really good “
“There is so much I want to show you. Helena had a really good idea. There is a town called Peabody and she’s going to take us to lunch and take loads of photos –it’ll be a laugh and the photo’s will freak Alice and Shane out when we get back to Lancaster “
“Is Helena okay about me coming here?”
“Yes “
Helena had predicted that one of Tina’s concerns would be how she would react to having to share her sister all the time and not just term time. Bette knew that Tina was just insecure – made worse by what had just happened to her. For a few days Bette and Helena knew it would be a few minefields they would all have to negotiate.

Everyone needs a person as sweet as Bette in their life. Nice update.
Bette’s going be destroyed when she learns what happened to Tina. On a lighter note, I like that the dogs were named Henry and Max and were so easy to please! Nice chapter.
Henry the dog is dull huh? lol This is such a sweet story. I hope Tina tells Bette about the bruises before Bette discovers them though. PPS!
Henry and Max dogs!!!!!! hahahahahahahahaha – loved the rest of this ally and love that Tina has some support poor girl
Okay… Although I love this and, don’t get me wrong, am totally happy with the way things are going, I however have a question… I can understand Tina’s angst about the recent events and her need to get her mind around it, hence not getting into some steamy Porter delight for a while… I can understand them clinging to each other at the airport and not thinking about anything else other than hugging, especially this being in a public place in the 80’s… I can understand them wanting to get home really fast and, Bette driving, not getting into another “type” of activity on the way back… I can EVEN understand Tina’s need for a shower before the much needed and awaited cuddle with her lover (I always feel like one after a flight… a shower I mean… well, a cuddle too now that you mention it!)… But then… For God’s sakes, Ally, where is that damn kiss???… Am I truly the only one to miss that precious liplock reunion? Anyhow, just thought I would ask… But hey, Ally, you’re the boss, so ya know… fine by me! Love this anyways! Thanks mate.
Love it, Poor Tina, Bette is soooo going to freak when she finds out about the bruising, think Tina should tell her later PPS
It’s taken decades to improve the breed, but due to overbreeding, for a long time (’80s included) Irish Setters had a reputation for being sweet but very stupid. I shall refrain from further comment on Max and Henry except to offer they may very well be good company to Tina on what might otherwise be solitary walks. And let’s hope the weather does hold, because a nor’easter sucks on both land and sea. Regardless, Tina seems to have found a safe harbour.
I think a different, more vicious breed should be set upon Tina’s mother. A large pack of them.
I know what I’d do if I found out my girlfriend had bruises from anyone, so I can imagine how Bette’s going to react. Love it that Henry and Max are dogs. Also love that Bette’s family has taken Tina in, its what mine always did.
Lovely chapter again, Bette is so nice and understanding it’s almost unreal…but I loved it.
I thinks it’s wonderful that Helena wants to see B & T together. I loved the dogs being named Max & Henry, LOL! Bette is going to be crushed when she finds those bruises on Tina’s body. It’s just heart breaking that Tina had to suffer the verbal abuse of her Mom and grandparents, but now physical? Just awful! Post soon.
GREAT work Ally, I too love the fact that the dogs are named for Henry and Max. Well funnyone, now we know why they aren’t Labador Retrievers (ha,ha). Tina should tell Bette about her bruises because she is going to be upset either way, but will be more accepting if it doesn’t appear that Tina is trying to hide them or anything else from her. In the end the only thing Bette could do is try to kiss them away, unless they are severe (which I am sure that they are not). PPS :o)
im with funnyone. a huge fucking pack of them. this was sweet. thanks.
henry is a dog!max is max???? shit gonna hit the fan when tina tells bette or she finds the marks from mom tina…p.p.s.
LOL at Henry and Max as dogs… I kind of fancy it. Great post, as always. Not sure if I’ve commented before (been so behind with my stories!), but I definitely love this version of B&T. And we should all be so lucky to have someone like Bette to look after us.
Way to go Peggy, Helena, Melvin and Bette! Together they are Tina’s personal guardian angel. Lucky her!
AAAAAWWWWWWWWWW they are so sweet…yeah liked the dog names thing and that Henry likes to sleep on Bette’s bed but HOWLS in his sleep!!!! Please update as soon as u can…maybe they can get married and that will overcome Tina’s shyness about Bette helping her financially??? I dunno, just a thought…maybe it’s too soon.
They’re so good together :)
I just want to say I have been reading since the begining and I am completely caught up in you stories. I love them. Please keep up the good work.
I just caught up. I so love this story. I do hope Tina will be OK. Bette and her just need this time together. Thanks Ally PPS
You cracked me up with the dogs! I hope Tina tells Bette about the bruises very soon. PPS
They are good and wonderful and sweet together, hope Tina will tell Bette about the bruises soon. So funny about the dogs, and henry not allowed to sleep on Bettes bed because he howls lol. Ok post soon please, thanks!
