“Faking what?”
“Sex.”
“No, I can’t truthfully so I enjoyed it every time but I never faked sex.”
“So what are you? One of those switch hitters?”
“You can call me anything you want, if it makes you feel better.”
“What I wanna call you is my wife.” There was sudden emotion in his voice.
“We’re going to have to deal with that.”
“Okay, let’s deal with it.”
I sighed. My head was cluttered. I looked abstractly, down in front of me. “I’m not sure where to begin but it’s time to be honest with each other.”
“That’s all I want from you.”
“But can you handle the truth?” I asked, looking at him again.
“That depends….”
“On what?”
“On what it is.”
“Then I know what you’re going to say because you never believed me before.”
“It still depends….”
“Okay, let’s go back, way back to the summer of 1985, when you and I met and dated. Then I ran into Bette up at Mammoth in the winter and started seeing her. She was like no one I had ever been with before.”
He raised a hand and said, “That’s enough.”
“See you can‘t handle it. You ask me questions but you don’t want to hear the answers and you don‘t want to believe me.”
“That’s right. I DIDN’T wanna believe you THEN and I STILL don’t.”
“Why? Why is that so hard for you to fathom?”
“Because it’s sick!” He turned on me with real anger. “It’s immoral, unnatural and disgusting and I couldn’t face the fact THEN that the woman I was in love with could be so fucking depraved and I STILL can‘t.”
He caught me way off guard with that. “My God Howie! Where did all that come from? I’ve never known you to sound so hateful before.”
“You talk about it like it’s okay to feel those things and I’m telling you it’s bullshit.”
“Since when are you homophobic?”
“I always have been but I never let on before.”
“Then why now?”
“Because it’s about time you know how I really feel about it, you and that girl friend of yours.”
He clammed up and reached for his drink. He finished it and put it down again.

That’s scarey. You never really know what people will do when they drink alot. Even though Sissee’s seen him confrontional before, this has him really pissed. I would be afraid of him coming after me with a gun or physically abusing me. I think I would take Mary & leave & talk to him again when he’s sober. Thanks Sissee.
Kbergin47, The verbal hits that Howie made were probably worse than any physical blows he may have inflicted. The situation has brought out a mean side that Sissee never saw before but she has taken him to the edge and it becomes – you are hurting me, so I am hurting you back – kind of thing. Perhaps he will be less hateful in the morning.
Hi Sissee the writer, I am so into the storyline this time that I forgot I was on page 5 and the chapter was over already. I hope Mary will understand her mother, she seemed like a compassionate person. I don’t like Howie since Day 1. I know you, the writer, felt sorry for him and thought he’s always a good man. I know he was nice to Bette for Sissee’s sake only. Anyhow, the alcohol in him would definitely give him courage to say what he felt. That’s the dysinhibition of our thinking and feeling when we are not sober. It served good purpose sometimes – Sissee saw the real Howie now because of that…
Bette’s Babe, Yes, Howie finally told Sissee what he thinks of Bette Porter and her lifestyle. He finally told her HIS truth, the kind of bigoted truth that is out there unfortunately, shared by shallow people who don’t even try to understand. It’s getting better though and you just wait for our Bette Porter here to stand up to this Howie person. They will have a show down, very soon.
