Bette:
I walk Tina out of the gallery, my hand in hers. The luncheon lasted longer than anybody had expected. I glance to find Helena. She leans against an outside wall, talking to her mother.
Peggy doesn’t know about Helena’s extracurricular activities. Helena hides them well. I grip Tina’s hand tighter as I open up my car door for her.
The car ride is only silent from my end. Tina’s talking about her family.
I’ve only seen pictures of her family and heard stories about them. Even though we’ve been dating for close to a year, I’ve never met her relatives. They don’t even know I exist.
“So, my sister’s son is turning four next week and I want to buy him something nice.”
“When my nephew was four, I got him his first bike.”
“Do you think my nephew would like that too?”
“I suppose.” I pause for a moment, “Will I ever meet your family?”
She stares at me, the way she always does when she knows she has an answer I don’t want.
“Bette, please don’t…”
“No, I want to know.”
“It’s harder than you think Bette. I’m not even out to them yet! And then there are other factors.”
Those factors are actually just one really big factor: I’m black.
Maybe I’m only half black, but with Tina and her family, there’s the one-drop rule. She doesn’t say it, but I know it. Her family’s a group of big fucking racists.
“I just don’t want to discuss this right now, baby.” I pull up to the red light and she gives me those eyes that I can’t seem to say no to, “You’ve been out since you were 14, Bette. I don’t think you really remember what it was like. How scary it may be.”
I placed my hand on top of hers, “Maybe you’re right.” I turned the corner and parked in front of Tina’s building.
“You wanna come in?”
“Can’t. I have to stop by my sister’s and I promised.”
“Okay. Text me when you get in.”
“You want me to walk you in?” I learned from my mother how to treat women. Always offer to walk her in.

Oh my…it’s been awhile… (I don’t remember anything but that crazy orange pill!)… Bette lied!…She lied to Tina! She said she was going to her sister’s. That’s just not right!

Ash so good that you are back and at the sametime sad to hear that life was not perfect but live life as it comes,’NOT FOR YESTERDAY CAUSE IT HAS PASSED, NOT FOR TOMORROW CAUSE IT HAS YET TO PASS, LIVE FOR TODAY FOR IT IS THE PRESENT,” that is the only advice that I can give you Ash ;) great start to your story!
