“I’m sorry to hear that babe, but promise me that you’ll take sometime out for yourself and that you’ll eat something.”
“I promise T, I can’t wait to see you and Eli again…I wish I was there with you babe.”
Tina’s heart was melting at the sincerity in Bette’s voice. “I wish you were here too baby. I love you.”
“I love you too T. Tell Eli I’d rather be there with him…I need to get going…”
“Wait babe there’s someone else who wants to talk to you.”
Tina passed the phone to Eli. “Hi Bette I got you some really cool stuff from Seaworld and I took a picture of mom when she got splashed with water…”
Bette was smirking now. “I can’t wait to see it.”
“Oh and Bette thanks for inviting me to the gallery opening. Mom said she’ll take me suit shopping and I promise I’ll be on my best behavior for your big night.”
Bette laughed. “Thank you so much honey you’ve made my day, and I want you to be yourself…I can’t wait to see you guys tonight. You’re going to tell me about everything you saw right?”
“Yeah I promise. I hope your day goes better I’ll see you tonight, bye Bette.”
“Bye honey and thank you for brightening up my day.”
“I do what I can.”
Bette was laughing now. “Bye honey I love you and tell your mom I love her too.”
“We love you too, bye Bette.” Eli hung up not really thinking about what he just said but Bette and Tina understood its significance for their family. Eli voicing that he loved Bette was so good to hear for both ladies. Tina figured that Eli loved Bette but she also knew that her son didn’t say he loved anyone unless he was certain of it.
Bette went back to work feeling a lot better. She was ready to finish up at work so she could go home and focus on her family.
*********************************************
A few hours later and Bette was finally on her way home. She managed to get the situation under control. The contractor fixed the wall and was paying for the repair out of his own pocket, he had expected more yelling from Bette but she seemed to be in complete control of her emotions. And James confirmed that the frame would be repaired the following morning. The appropriate calls to the insurance company and the artist himself went well, and Bette was able to assure the artist that it would not happen again. With the wall reinforced they’d be able to hang it again by Wednesday.

Finally Bette stood up to her father. I know how difficult that is for Bette, but she now knows how important it is to have Tina and Eli in her life. Loved the little teaser that you gave us at the beginning of the chapter.

LOL@the camping trip! So glad Bette stood up to Melvin. Even better he’s actually considering not being an ass to Tina and Eli.
I SO love this story & always look forward to it!
Great update as always. Bout time Bette stood up to her father. Please make sure Bette keeps in mind that Tina can handle things, and be careful of not trying to handle things for her. I’m soooooooooooooooo looking forward to those two actually hooking up. Too cute about Bette being worried about Eli hearing.
Amazing post once again Toribio!!!! I loved the little heated ‘thing’ on the couch between B&T, so cute and realistic…………and the things Bette told Melvin was spot-on, really great writing. BUUUUT now you can’t hold that NC-17 back much longer LOL and I can’t wait. Post soon, I’m addicted.

Grrreat chapter! I was kinda hoping that Tina and Eli would be arriving during Bette’s tirade to her father, thus hearing how she stood up to him for her family’s sake, but well, whatever direction you’re taking is great with me, so… I thought you did a great job with Melvin. Leaving some hopes about his decision while still having him in character. Well done! Loved the teaser, that’s very promising for the real thing ya know…;) This ending has me look forward to the reunion between B&T, so please post soon (with all due respect for your school work, it’s great enough to have you share this wonderful story!) Okay, thanks a lot, Toribio!
GREAT update, I like most am glad that Bette finally stood up to Melvin and I believe that Melvin will make the right choice. I can hardly wait until Tina finds out, oh yeah it will be “T” time for Bette. I am looking to Eli meeting Melvin and standing up tall for both his mom and Bette. Poor Bette is soooooo missing her family that are trapped in San Diego while she is home alone. PPS :o)
