Bette could hear the anger and frustration in her daughter’s voice. Wanting to fix it she quickly stated that she would go and talk to Lyndsay and straighten everything out. To which Angelica point blank responded that Bette was not to go anywhere near Lyndsay.
“Ang, if you would just let me talk to her, I’m sure I could convince her to show her work…..she has talent…..”
“Yes Mom, she does have talent, I knew that the minute I first saw that painting in Rome….and it was only half finished at the time. But she does not want to sell her paintings or show them, and I am going to respect that wish……..and Mom……so are you.”
“But…..”
“No……there are no but’s here…….I love her Mom, can’t you see that? I have finally found the person I have been waiting my entire life for, and I am not going to let you or anyone else get in the way of us trying to build a life together…….so you can just stop right now. There is no show, there will not be a show unless Lyndsay of her own accord comes to me or another gallery owner and says that is what she wants……have I made myself clear?”
Bette had no response….she simply looked at Angelica. Angie knew they were again at an impasse, but was not backing down. She hopped off the counter……and then glared at Bette as she walked by her and made her way to her room where she promptly closed the door after entering.
As Bette remained standing in the kitchen, Tina made her way back in after hearing Angie’s door close. Seeing the dismay on Bette’s face, she asked “So I take it that things didn’t go well?”
Bette shook her head no in response.
Tina was still not overly happy that Bette had done what she did, but this was her fight with Angelica, and she wasn’t about to let it affect them as a couple. Walking over to Bette, she wrapped her arms around her neck and pulled her in close for a hug. Whispering that everything would be OK, and that Angie wouldn’t stay mad at her for long, Tina suggested they go do some shopping that afternoon to get some fresh air and leave Angie alone for a bit. Tina went to Angie and told her their plans then set off with Bette to give her credit card a little work out.

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!
