Bette was so lost in thought that she didn’t see Tina come in. Tina found Bette and watched her as she was so deep in thought – she grinned. Whatever grief she would be getting from Emma when she eventually caught up with her was worth it – Bette was worth any amount of discomfort and ear bashing. Tina walked up behind the brunette and whispered in her ear
“Wanna cake before I take you off to fuck you senseless “
That snapped Bette out of her thoughts. She got up and hugged the blonde
“Its great to see you “ she said and meant it. Tina accepted the hug and squeezed Bette’s ass as they embraced
“You are so fucking hot Porter – just so I don’t have to say it again – I am saying it now”
Bette smiled “ You seem full of beans “
“I am – I just narrowly avoided a trip into the jaws of death “
“Emma ?”
“Well it wasn’t Voldermort but yes my mother almost caught me as I sneaked into the apartment , threw some clothes into an over night bag and sneaked out again. That old bag has bat ears”
“I will get you a coffee “
“And cake”
“And cake “
Bette went to the counter and came back with cake and two coffees. Tina rewarded her by pulling her across the table and kissing her. Bette returned the kiss
“You are full of beans “ Bette said
“Happy to see you and yeah – I feel good. You look tired – you okay ?”
“I haven’t been to bed yet”
“Bette ! “
“There was some work going on outside the apartment so it was impossible to sleep”
“But you can sleep anywhere and through anything “
“Well that is usually true but I cannot sleep through two 300 pound jack hammers drilling for oil or something. I gave up and did some studying “
“And you are worn out “ Tina said commenting not questioning
“I have been livelier “
They had been planning to go for a meal and then to a club but Tina could see that Bette wasn’t up to it. But the dumbest mistake was suggesting to Bette that she couldn’t do something — time to play it cute Tina.
Tina kissed Bette on the lips “ I have missed you “
“I missed you – how was dinner with your dad “
“Great – we ended up drinking scotch and talking about all sorts until the small hours”
“Those would be the small hours when I was doing a stock count “
Tina nodded “Sorry “
“Its okay – I knew what I was doing when I signed up to do this. So tell me how he was”
“He understands – he understands way more than even Kate. I feel so much better for having talked to him and I know that he is on our side “
“To the extend of funding you a place ?”
“Well I told you he is restaurant hunting ? “
“Yeah “
Tina pulled her copy of the details of the place they had seen that morning
“What do you think of this place ?”
Bette took the paper and read it as Tina devoured her cake and sipped her coffee. Bette raised an eyebrow
“Two apartments above the restaurant “
Tina grinned “ We went to see it this morning – the restaurant is lovely. Its not too big but just the right size for him. He finishes at the end of the month at his law firm and he doesn’t want to just sit around – he wants to get straight into building his second career”
“Nice area “ Bette commented
“It is – I was doing some research and the other restaurants around there are good but dad’s would be a little more up market. He’s going to take Pete later in the week and see what he says”
“And you can have one of the apartments ?”
“Yes – in exchange for working for him”
Bette smiled -” I hope your dad will let you work the nights I do“
“So do I “
“That’s really great babe “
“He’s the best “
“He is a terrific guy “
Tina took Bette’s hand and kissed it “ I had a good talk to him and he gave me a lot to think about “
“Such as ?”
“He said I cannot use mom as an excuse . She doesn’t have the power over me she did when she controlled my college fund. I can get a job anywhere doing anything – I will survive until something better comes along and as soon as I can I will get out of apartment. I really don’t want to fall out with my moms over this but I will if I have to, maybe I gave mom the wrong message when I moved back after college. I was so wrapped up in exams and everything that I really didn’t think about finding somewhere to live. Maybe I was being naïve – anyway moving back was dumb ass – she was on my case straight away about being messy and finding a proper job “
“I can guess what a proper job is according to Emma “ Bette said sarcastically
“Yes – something with a company listed on the NY stock exchange probably. God she’s such a fucking snob at times”
“Only at times ?” Bette replied. She was feeling tired and when she felt like this she really wasn’t in the mood to temper her comments about Emma Kennard. Tina smiled and kissed Bette’s hand
“What my dad said and even after the wine and the scotch I do remember what he said – basically life is full of obstacles and mom is just that. We will find a way around her. I am a fucking adult for Gods sake “
“I think if you have to say that you are an adult it rather negates your statement”
“Funny Porter “ Tina smiled at Bette who did look tired.
“Sorry- your mother is not my favourite topic of conversation that’s all “
Tina smiled “I know – I know we both blame her for what happened and that hasn’t gone away for you has it ?”
Bette exhaled – this was probably something they shouldn’t get into but maybe Tina did need to know how she felt
“Maybe it was just a coping tool but I really have grown to “ Bette paused – she did need to step carefully here. At the end of the day Emma was Tina’s mother and regardless of this massive split – family counted. She bought some time by sipping her coffee
“Lets just say there are people in this world I like a whole load more than Emma”
“You can say that you hate her “ Tina said “I know that you are trying to spare my feelings but you don’t have to. I hate the old cow for how she bullied and pressured us and your parents into her getting her own way. I cannot tell you how many nights I lay in bed crying at missing you and knowing that it was down to her being an evil old crow. You cannot hate her more than I do “
Bette smiled “I was trying to spare your feelings”
“You don’t have to – she’s the enemy in my eyes . That might change but she would have to change her attitude to me -and to us. I haven’t told her how I feel because of Kate. As much as I hate Emma I love Kate more than anything – and she doesn’t deserve to be in the middle of this and she is. I feel sorry for her – she’s not happy at all of this. I will go and take her for lunch next week and talk to her. Emma is like a juggernaut when she wants something and she wont even listen to Kate when she is like that – I wonder how Kate puts up with her”
“That has crossed my mind – I do love Kate to pieces you know”
Tina smiled “I know that babe – and I know how much dad and Pete miss you and want us to figure things out. I don’t blame you if you despise my mother Bette. I will tell you something- if she tries to stop us – and I don’t know how she can – well – then she’s going to be the one who suffers. My mother is not going to push us around anymore Bette”
Bette nodded “ Good to know – god I am so tired “
“Come on “
“Where are we going ?”
“Well I need some shampoo and deoderant as I didn’t pick up my wash bag as I would have been trapped in enemy territory if I had. And then we need some food and possibly some alcohol – – lots of beer I think”
“I thought we were going out “
“No – we are going to stay in and cook and rest and talk. I have you back after four years apart and we have so much to talk about and so much sex to catch up on. I don’t need the outside world Bette – I just need you”
Bette looked at the blonde and looked deep into her hazel eyes
“I need you Tina – more than I know how to say. “

Been treating myself to an ‘ally re-read’ for a while and my heart skipped a beat today – 11.8.2015 – when I saw a new post ‘Some Kind of Wonderful’. Turned out not to be a new post of this story, although it was by another of my favourite writers on a story I am enjoying. It did lead me, though, to write this comment to solicit another update of this great story.
