“You are not your father, Bette Porter. You are not condemned to repeat the error of his ways. And it’s damn time you stopped beating yourself up for the fear you will do exactly as he did. All that fear has done is put a lock on your heart and a chain around your emotions. If you don’t want to get married because that’s just not what you want to do, fine. Then just say that. It’s not what I want to hear, but I will understand. What I won’t understand is you not wanting to marry me because of somebody else’s stupid mistakes. The only thing I ever asked of you is to be honest with me. I have no reason to believe you will be otherwise. Now be honest with yourself and be the woman you know you truly are and kick the emotional monkey on your back named Melvin Porter out the door.”
“T, you are the strongest woman I know. You also are the only one that has been able to call me on ‘my stuff.’”
“Baby, when the need arises we’ll be strong for each other. I know you love me because if you didn’t, you wouldn’t be having this internal struggle. So what do you say, Porter? Will you marry me or do you just want to play house for a while longer to make sure I’m your forever girl?”
Bette pulled Tina to her. If I hold her tight enough, if I hold her close enough, her strength will pass to me and I will be able to expunge these fears, or at least stop them from holding my true emotions in check.
“Tina, you are my forever girl, my one special one. I don’t want to play house with you – I want us to be ‘home’ to one another. I’ve never allowed anyone else to see my insecurities or vulnerabilities. Would you bear with me, Baby, if I should stumble along the way?”
“Of course, I will. As long as you come to me, I promise to always be your safety net.”
Bette put her forehead to Tina’s. This was the small nonsexual gesture that had become a sort of bonding moment between them, a few seconds of quiet connection. Bette then stepped back and looked at Tina directly with the unmistakable Porter gaze of conviction and intensity – and passion. These were eyes that held no lies, no pretense and no deception. When those eyes gazed on Tina, they looked beyond the flesh and bone. Those eyes looked into Tina Kennard’s soul.

Hey Arceextl, That was jaw droppingly beautiful as Bette suddenly became the child and Tina the adult. It was tender as Tina coaxed the truth from her lover about her fears and issues with repeating the past. Thankfully Tina was there to reassure and support Bette throught this troublesome sea of concerns and navigate Bette to the safe haven that is Tina’s warm and welcoming arms. Gorgeous and gentle. Thank you for this pleasure and delight. Your Loyal Fan.
I love this story and your writing, I hope you know that by now, but this chapter wasn’t doing it for me I’m sorry to say. I can’t exactly say why, only that this wasn’t the way it should’ve happened if you ask me…..I don’t feel that Bette wants this 100%. But I’m really looking forward to the wedding and especially the honeymoon LOL. Post soon…
Wow, so beautiful! Bette said YES, that’s a good thing, though I feel they might be rushing things a little. I mysself would be happy just moving together without doing the marriage thing as well. Ove your story, so keep it coming! Thanks for posting!
I love your poems, they are eyes to most of our inner souls. You can love someone and still struggle. Usually that struggle is whether they are still going to be there when you wake up. I am glad that you posted this chapter. This story brings two beings together with all their flaws and pain and puts them together as one.
R – I agree…’family’ isn’t defined by blood. Blood means nothing to the body without the heart – the organ that pumps the blood. If you listen to your heart it will tell you who your family is. I love your writing, your story, and especially your poems. Thanks for writing, and as always, can’t wait for more.
RC, you are awesome. Thanks for a wonderful story. Wish we could all have that love.
Beautiful. It always sends a chill through my spine when the communication between these two is so open. Tina can be such a pillar of strength and Bette is so lovely when she opens up and shares her insecurities . I love this story.
Good chapter. Good that Bette say yes and happy for them. Ok post soon please, thanks!
