The Adventures of Bette Porter and Sissee Gardner Schmidt After Tina (Part 3, Chapter 1)
PART THREE: ORANGE GROVE, CALIFORNIA
Chapter 1
When the plane landed at LAX we went to the baggage claim, picked up our luggage and walked out to the parking building. We had both taken our own cars and were parked on different levels. Bette walked me to my minivan and we put all our stuff in my vehicle, then I drove her to her Saab. After we had separated our baggage, she asked me to get into her car for a few minutes.
Inside she picked up my hand and held it for a moment, looking down at both our hands, clasped tightly together in my lap.
I looked at her profile. My beautiful, sensuous Bette looked so sad and worried.
“I hate to let you go,” she said in a whispery voice. “I can’t tell you how much it’s meant to me to be with you.”
“I know, I feel the same way.”
She looked at me, “I wish you’d let me go with you.”
“No.”
“What if it turns ugly?”
“I’ll just have to deal with it.”
“Then I want you to call me as soon as you can, no matter how late it gets.”
“I will.”
“And remember, you can always come to my house.”
“I’m not going to run away from anything, Bette. I’ve been doing that for too many years already. I’ll just play it by ear and see what happens. And you, my love,” I raised my other hand and brushed her hair away from her face. “I hope you keep a level head about the baby. Don’t go getting yourself into trouble.”
“I won’t.”
“Maybe Tina has had time to think about it and will be more reasonable.
“We’ll see.”
I lifted her chin with my hand and kissed her briefly on the lips. “I have to go now and all I can say is that Maui was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before anywhere with anyone and that’s because of you.”
She sucked in her breath and kissed me on my mouth with her lips parted, slowly at first but there was just too much emotion overwhelming both of us. The kiss became passionate , until she broke away and whispered in my ear, “I love you so much, baby.”

Please don’t break Bette’s heart…..
honda90, Sissee the writer would never let Sissee the character break Bette’s heart. I promise.
I got a weird feeling it’s going to be rough. I hope Howie won’t hit Sis, but if he wil thank god Bette will be right there to take care of her. You are right we need a seatbelt.
September, Howie is going to get mean and hurtful but the only thing he’ll do with his hands is use them to drink.
Sissee, I can feel the tension between Sissee and Howie. Since you told us Sissee will not break Bette’s heart, my second guess is that it would be Bette who would break Sissee’s heart. My my my, with Jodie in the future picture, I feel sad for Sissee. The only positive thing I can forsee is that Sissee does love her kids and Howie and vice versa. She will have the support from them. I just feel bad for her and Bette, they deserve to be with each other for a long time.
Bette’s Bette, That is a lof of speculation from you and I best not tip off where we are going with the story line. It really is interesting though to get my reader’s point of view. Thanks for your input.
Here we go…… I really hope Bette doesn’t go over to Henry’s house. I just don’t see how that would help. Can’t wait for the next chapter. Thanks!
This is gonna be tough for Sissee. Breakups, even ones that will eventually bring good things, are never easy. Thanks for the update.
kbergin47, Yes, Bette does go to Henry’s as you will see in Chapter 3.
ld18, You are right about that. I guess that is why there are so many breaking up songs, it’s a sad thing for everyone. But even Oprah had a show on about married women who were having affairs with other women. Her parting comments were that life is too short, follow your heart.
