    Author Notes:

    Kit looked great and as far as I knew, she was the only one who was aware that Bette and I were a couple. Shane, Alice, Helena, Carmen, Jenny – none of them had a clue, that is, until Bette told them.

    The Adventures Of Bette Porter And Sissee Gardner Schmidt After Tina (Part 3, Chapter 12)
    PART THREE: ORANGE GROVE, CALIFORNIA

    Chapter 12

    My meeting with Dawn Hartman at the Los Angeles Post went so well I literally left the building with a natural high, like I was floating on air, all the way to the parking lot. I called Bette to share the news.

    “Guess what, darling?”

    “Tell me.”

    “She told me they wanted to try a new column and she gave it to me.”

    “What kind of a column?”

    “She wants to call it, “Lunch With Sissee” where I would have lunch with just anyone, like celebrities, politicians, people with a dream or a cause or a handicap they’ve overcome, homeless people, millionaires, the subjects are endless. All I need is to take a little tape recorder and visit with them over lunch and then write about it.”

    “Oh Sweetie, I’m so happy for you!”

    “It will be a daily feature from Monday to Friday, so I need to do five interviews a week and if I wanted to I could do all five in one day. I’m even toying with another name, maybe it could be called, “Soup, Salad and Sissee.”

    “That might sound like a food column.”

    We laughed. I felt so giddy. She suggested that we have lunch at the Planet and I could interview Kit on being pregnant during menopause. We laughed again but I told her it might not be a bad idea.

    I did meet her there and saw the whole gang. Everyone but Tina was there. Bette and I had shared many lunches at the Planet in the past and they let me fit right in with them. One by one I hugged them hello and was genuinely glad to be amongst them again. Kit looked great and as far as I knew, she was the only one who was aware that Bette and I were a couple. Shane, Alice, Helena, Carmen, Jenny – none of them had a clue, that is, until Bette told them.

    They all said they were happy for us but I detected some reservations. I knew they adored Bette and Tina as partners and even envied them in happier days, always hoping they would someday get back together for keeps. I was sensitive enough to know that it would take time for them to come around to us. They already accepted me as Bette’s friend, so perhaps eventually they would see that we were now, totally involved.

    1. This is so good. Nothing like it on the site. I am a true blue TiBetter but I can appreciate another pairing if it is well written like yours. Looking forward to the next section.

    2. azmama, I automatically smile when I see your comments because you are so supportive. If I were really out there plugging a book, I would hire you to be my publicist. Thank you so very much.

    3. Very beautiful….see I don’t know why writers always think they need to keep the drama hi otherwise people won’t read…..A good story is all you need, and this is one!!!

    4. Things seem to be falling into place. Bette’s new job, Sissee’s new job, the apt. I just feel really bad for Howie. I liked the hips & baggage remark. Very funny!:)

    5. Kbergin47, Yes, the writer feels sorry for Howie too but those things do happen. When Oprah ran her show on married women who were having affairs with other women, remember what she said in the end, “Life’s too short. Fallow your heart.” My philosophy has always been “you get what you give” in this life. You may all have to throw away by keyboard and handcuff my hands to keep me from letting that happen to Sissee but we shall see what we shall see. Thanks for the post, my friend.

    6. I just read the last 11 chapters. I just love your story. I like to wait and read many chapters at the same time so that I can really get the feel of the story. Can’t wait to read the next section.

    7. Now that this After Tina Part is over, we will soon read the next Part (after Howie), I have been following your adventure stories since after Yale. What strike me about this part of the story is that Bette and Sissee finally get together as a couple, the coming out process for Sissee was quite challenging, and Bette was on her side to support her all and all. Please post soon to let us know what’s going on about their adventures after Howie. This time, you have more flexibility to write about B & S as Howie was not in TLW s/l (like Sissee). Can’t wait to read more.

    8. Brouhaha, Now that is a whole new perspective on how to read this story. I am sure you get the flow of it better than catching a chapter here and there. However you read it, I am just glad that you are reading it and commenting on it. Thank you very much.

    9. Bette’s Babe, Yes, I will be posting the After Howie first chapter soon so that we can move right along. I really am pleased to know you have been with us so long. I always enjoy your posts and hope you will keep them coming. Thanks a lot. We have a long way to go together.

    10. Honda90, Thank you very much. I have to smile at that knowing what is coming. I open the next segment showing how wonderful things are in Bette and Sissee’s life but I had one reader begging for more drama. It was because of her that drama does follow.

    11. Sarah_Schuster, It pleases me to know you are excited for the next saga to begin. I think the After Howie series is the longest one I wrote. I started after TLW ended in 2007 and wrote right up to where it began in 2008. Trust me, Bette and Sissee will be having a lot of adventures.

    12. I must say that when you started this series I was a bit skeptical. You have, however, done a wonderful job with this and I’m looking forward to seeing the AH section. Thanks!

    14. Dear gum, Yes, Bette and Sissee are “happy and in love” but trust me, they will have their ups and downs in the next After Howie series, just like everyone else does. However, they will also have some unique adventures, just like the title suggests. Thanks for being here.

    15. Id18, I’m glad that we made a believer out of you, after your starting out a bit skeptical. Thanks for tagging along with us and posting your support. I’m grateful.
