A helping hand and a push in the right direction-CH. 27
“Bette I’ve talked to the artist and the insurance company again and we’re covered on both counts. I reassured Nivola that the frame would be restored by the time the gallery opens but he was still a little anxious about the painting being damaged.”
Bette sighed, she had been at the gallery for two hours doing some damage control well also trying to make sure everything else was on schedule. “Okay I’ll give him a call later. How’s the work on the frame coming along?”
“Jason thinks he can fix it but he’s going to have to replace the bottom. He thinks he’ll probably be finished today.”
Bette was going through her mental checklist, “Alright keep me updated on the progress. I’m going to be in my office I need to return some calls.”
“Okay I’m going to go check on the contractor.”
Bette started walking towards her office, “Thanks James.” Bette’s cell phone rang and Bette was happy to see Tina’s name flash on the screen.
“Good morning baby. I’ve missed you and Eli so much. I hate waking up alone so I think you should make it up to me by paying me in trade.”
“Sorry Bette wrong Kennard.”
Bette stopped mid-stride. “I’m sorry Eli I thought it was your mom…” Bette could hear Eli laughing and Tina’s voice in the background.
She was a little embarrassed but couldn’t help smiling at hearing Eli laughing. “Okay Eli how about we start over. How are you doing this morning?”
“Pretty good. We just finished having breakfast and we’re getting ready to drive home.”
Bette smiled. “That’s great news. Me and Nero were miserable without you guys.”
“We missed you too. Are you at work right now?”
“Yeah honey I came in early so I could come home and see both of you sooner.”
“Cool…Oh Bette we took a lot of pictures on the digital camera and we emailed a few of them to you this morning.”
Bette was sitting at her desk and opened up her email and sure enough there was a one from Eli. “I’m pulling them up right now…Wow these pictures are great. Aww this picture is so cute how did you and your mom get so close to the baby penguin?”

I was so happy to see you post…then I saw 6 pages I was like yeah! Melvin is coming around, I am glad Bette is not making it easy for him. He helped put a strain on their marriage all those years ago and he needs to own up to that. I am glad Bette is so protective of her family. Please post soon.
Great dialogue! Thanks!
One word…..FANTASTIC
I just adore this story.
how can anyone not love eli? i think melvin will come around and bette is indeed happy with tina, it’s time to accept it
This was great,seems like we were there watching the whole thing unfold. Love that Eli. thanks
You’re doing a great job w/this story. I just love it. It’s complex, realistic, interesting and well developed. PPS.
All I can say is…IT’s ABOUT TIME! Bravo Bette for putting “Daddy” in his place.
Flawless. Love the way you’re moving the story and DEFINITELY love the direction it’s going. Can’t wait for more!
Yeah, Bette held her ground and again relayed the message that she was not going to tolerate his behavior towards Tina. Tina has finally become the equal to Bette in all aspects of Bette’s life. Loved how Eli went toe to toe with Melvin and won.
a very good chapter, i like the fact that Bette protect her family but Eli is such a charming boy and he will win the Melvin’s heart like he did with the others people. i really want to read about the openning and some love time i can’t wait for the next chapter!
That was amazing and love it. Post soon please, thanks!
Exquisite.
Always thrilled to see youor posts. Love this story to the MAX. The way you have developed Eli is absolutely wonderful, you hve made him such a great child and everyone, and I mean everyone loves him to pieces. Even old Melvin seems to like him. So happy that Bette had the gonads to stand up to her father and happy also that Kit gave him a bit of advice on that subject as well. Can hardly wait for the next episode in this story. LOVE, ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STORY. Thanks.
thank you, just please don’t keep us waiting too long. look forward to next chapter and i enjoy the long ones
Is there any way we can clone Eli and each have one of our own?
I love this story, Eli & how prtective Bette is.
Everytime I see a post from you, I get a big goofy smile on my face. I totally loves this story and your great writing. Eli was awesome with Mr. Porter and is that man retarded or what????? This post was a bit ‘heavy’, but very much necessary for the story, you’re a amazing writer. Post as soon as possible….PLEASE LOL.
BTW Kit was great in this post, she deserves a medal :o))
Toribio, I simply adore this story!!! I cannot go into details for this chapter, there would be too much to say, but all I can say is that this chappy is one of the best you’ve written so far! Everyone is so much in character and there are so many emotions coming from the different interactions! You’re such a talented writer and the next post cannot come soon enough for me! I know I always say the same, but what you’ve done with Eli’s character is simply amazing! I love that kid! I’m also very happy that Tina was able to witness Bette’s standing up to her father, that’s the least she deserves, and that’s an understatement. And Kit’s so right: The first person Melvin should make amends to is Tina. I really believe that she took a lot of shit from him and it’s about time she’s treated like she deserves, not only with respect, but also love and gratitude for making Bette this happy! Oups, sorry about the rambling… BTW, I loved Kit’s argument to her father at the beginning of the chapter, that’s a hell of a universal argument! Well done, and many thanks!!! Ok, I’m done…
Simply amazing!! Everything was perfect :D
aaaaaaahhhhhhhh I hang out for your post; love the story; heavy dialogue today but necessary…like the interactions of Bette & Eli; and Bette & Tina…PPS
I so love this story. Bette talking to Nelvin like that was great. THank you PPS
This is such a great story, dialouge is perfect. Thank you.
toribio, a fantastic post once again! Excellent, difficult dialogue from each character. I agree with kword wholeheartedly! Would love to see Melvin make this 180% turn and make amends for his earlier foolishness! Can’t wait to see the next chapter! Hope you continue this story indefinitely!
