Later that morning……..
Lyndsay proceeded to pack up her things in order to get to the airport on time for her flight. She insisted that they say goodbye at the hotel and promised to call Angie later that night once she arrived at home.
After seeing her off, Angelica headed home to her apartment where she knew a discussion with Bette was looming. She was still very angry that her mother had gone against her wishes, and even though she understood why she did it……it still hurt that she didn’t pay attention to what she had asked, and she wasn’t about to just let her off the hook that easily.
At the apartment…….
Tina was in the kitchen just finishing up the dishes from breakfast. She and Bette had a heated discussion that morning about the painting and what Bette had done. Tina still could not understand what Bette was thinking when she placed the painting on display in the gallery. Bette tried to use the argument that great art should be displayed, not hidden, but Tina stood firm that Angelica’s wishes should have come first in this case, regardless of the piece of art. Arriving at an impasse, Bette had left the apartment to go for a walk to get some fresh air.
Angie walked into her apartment and was surprised at the silence. Making her way to the kitchen she found Tina just finishing putting the dishes away.
Tina smiled when she saw her daughter, who appeared much calmer than she had the previous night.
“Hey, did you manage to talk to Lyndsay last night?”
Angie blushed as she smiled and replied, “well…… I wouldn’t exactly call it talking, but there was a method of communication that did occur.”
Tina just shook her head. That was her daughter…..so much like Bette, yet so much like her at the same time.
“I hope there was at least some talking involved and not just extra curricular activities going on.”
“Yeah we had a good talk this morning.” That was all Angie had shared and Tina was becoming impatient with her daughter.
“AND???”
“And what?” Angie was now playing with her Mom….. just a little.
Now becoming exasperated with her daughter who was short on supplying details, Tina further inquired “So where does this leave your relationship?”

nice! finally Angelica setting the rules. u just gotta looove the Porter women XD.Pps
I love the way you write the interactions between characters. I could feel the tension in the room between Bette and Angie. PPS
Taz, it’s just fun reading the interaction between the Porter women. You could just feel the tension between Angie and Bette. No matter how you look at it, Bette went against her daughter’s wishes and betrayed her. She’s lucky Angie’s even in the same room with her. I’m glad Tina is the voice of reason between these two. Can’t wait for more conversation. PPS
Damn TazG, that was very good, the tension was palpable. Thank goodness for Tina, always the peacemaker for the entire family. Bette’s passion will always get her in trouble and, of course, she does not recognize that Angie is a younger version of herself at that age, and is just as passionate and stubborn as Bette is and was. And until Bette recognizes this they will always butt heads. Maybe Tina can make Bette see the wisdom in following Angie’s requests in the future. Great chapter. PPS
Taz my friend. Great new chapter. I really love this story, thanks for posting another chapter. Soooo goood to come home to after my wife and been out for dinner with parents. Stressful or what? Thanks again Taz.Karen x
Wow Taz, you turned around that whole mother daughter thing, as it should have been with a grown daughter. Thank you, Md
Tazzie!!!! I know I know, I’ve been SOOO bad with the email, the IM, all of it…BUT here I am! ;-))) Topping you no less! This story speaks volumes to me, and for personal reasons which you know of. The willingness to depart from familial ties and expectations to seek love and that which is driven by heart and soul is a difficult stance to take, but so worth it in the end. This line which Lyndsay tells Angelica in response to Angie’s offer to go with her as Lyndsay tells her family she has fallen in love with a woman, “No, I think this is something that I need to do on my own. Thank you, but it’s time for me to let them know that I am not their little girl anymore, and that I have found someone very special that I want to build a life with,” is absolutely spectacular. The foundation of courage can make spectacular things happen, and it reminds me of Theodore Roosevelt’s speech at Sorbonne Paris in 1910. “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” Yep, a powerful chapter indeed my friend, and brilliant writing as always. Talk to you soon girl. {{hugs}}
Way to go Angie, your not a kid anymore and Bette has got to learn to respect that. Now and for Lyndsay, give her some time, she’s carrying the main load here. Hopefully her family will be understanding, and then Ang and Lyndsay can start being together. I bet Ang goes to SC cos she just can’t take being away.
Wow…Porter vs Porter and Angie delivered the knock out punch! Great update Taz!
Hey, Tazzie! *waving with enthusiasm* This chappy was brilliant! Wow! You certainly know how to make Angie and Linds talk with honesty and you can feel the tension growing, because of the long distance relationship. As for Angie, asking moma B to respect her as an individual, and stop treating her as a child, it was just the finest confrontation between daughter-mother that we have ever read. In the end, you make us feel that Angie has to stand by herself and make her mom realize she steped on the wrong line. Tina, as usual is the “wise lady”, not taking any active part, while the Porter ladies got into discussing such deep issues. This story is unfolding so GOOD, Tazzie. We love it!
