They both heard the rustling in the back seat and the tell tell sound of hissing high notes and thumping bass as Angie pulled the buds out.
"That’s still too loud, sweetie," Tina said. "Remember I said I would place a low maximum on the volume if you’re not responsible with it."
"’Kay Mommy," Angie replied, turning down the sound to a more reasonable decibel.
"We’re just concerned for your hearing Ang," Bette said, catching her gaze in the rearview mirror.
"You know, most parents who are divorced play off of each other to win the love of the kids," Angie said. "Any chance you two could try that instead of ganging up on me all the time?"
Bette and Tina couldn’t help but laugh at this astute assessment.
"No chance at all," Bette replied, as she pulled into the parking lot of the Planet for yet another family dinner.
Chapter 14
"They’re here," Bette mentioned to Tina quietly as she spied Alice and Dana enter the restaurant shortly after they were seated. She waved them over.
"Hey girls," Alice couldn’t keep from glancing back and forth between them. "What’s up?"
"Angie suggested coming here after her soccer game," Bette said. "We figured you were still in the habit after the show taped."
"I miss you guys," Angie had sprung up for hugs all around.
Alice was quietly disheartened they hadn’t happened upon something, but that rather their arrival was fully expected.
"Miss you too, Angie," Dana said, returning the enthusiastic greeting with a big bear hug. "You should come spend the day with us sometime."
"We requested a larger table so that you could join us," Tina said, waving towards the available chairs. "Have a seat. We were just about to order."
Instead of sitting down again as Alice and Dana took their seats, Angie leaned over and whispered something inaudible to Tina.
"Okay honey, go ahead," Tina replied, continuing to watch her as she made her way to the washrooms that were by Kit’s office.
"So, a little family outing?" Alice said as she cracked the menu.

I almost wonder that Bette’s ‘teasing’ over Tina’s recent one night stand with Helena isn’t even a tiny bit rooted in jealousy – Tina was willing to go down that route with Helena but exercises such caution where Bette is concerned. Bette could, however, take heart that Tina cares enough about what could be that she wants to take it slow. Angie, in the mean time, is engineering more chances for her parents to be in each other’s company… even if it winds up being in a safer group setting. Which is, of course, more ideal to working on a friendship. Thanks for the post, jks. :)
Thanks, I am enjoying the slow pace they are setting.
JKS…I have no worries how you write. I write the same way. I have to go back a few chapters to remember what I wrote. As far as posting, I think there’s a notebook apt avail, but I don’t know about cutting and pasting. Thanks for the update. I like the back and forth taking place between Bette and Tina.
love the update, and like the slow pace and flirting, very exciting developments, no matter where the story is going
Excellent update. Love this story. Thank you
How I love this story! Slowly but surely they are getting there…
Chiming in from “just above the 45th parallel” here;) My that Angie’s a precocious gal, but then again, so is her mom – “Why don’t you tell me about your dream… I’ll see if I can interpret it for you…” LMAO swimmie, I love your dialogue and this story! Here’s wishing you a wonderful extended weekend!
Kids say the darndest things ;-)Looking forward to the pool party and every chapter after that. Thanks for taking the time to entertain us all with such well written chapters.
Glad I finally caught up on the current chapters I missed. I like the direction this is heading in. Can’t wait for the next one.
Another brilliant update, thanks.. Your conversations are marvelous and Alice hasn’t changed much. Good thing Dana is there to reel her in. It’s interesting that Tina and Helena would have another little fling. Hope there’s more on that. Heading north of the 49th myself this weekend. Have a good weekend.
The way you write has always made me swoon, Swim. It’s like partaking of great art. Perhaps we should just pull up a page and hang your iPad in the Louvre.
Fantastic update. Thanks for continuing to give us a glimpse into what true love means because they do have it even though they are going slowly for a wonderfully loving, respectful, dangerously hot reconciliation. They might have to speed things up a bit because Angie is gonna give them away without realizing what she is doing. Alice needs to back off, it’s none of her business. I agree with her giving them a push in the right direction but she needs to back off with all the questions, she has done what she needs to do, now she needs to quit. Thanks for the update.
🐠 hey, I c&p all the time. You can point and drag a high light on any given area. Kinda like “Ctl A” I think. Tap on the area, it will ask to select, the C&P. You can use the notebook but I believe there is a word or something. Let me know if it works 😉👍
Thank you for the update,amazing story.I sooo want them togther as a couple.Have a nice weekend.
Patience is a virtue – apparently Bette and Tina have acquired it in spades over the years!! Something has got to give – probably a wet bathing suit unless having auntie Helena around creates too much tension. I think she’s going to sniff out Bette’s attraction like a pig finds truffles! Of course, I always did love Bette in a power suit…
I love your bette and tina…they both seem so much more mature yet totally in character. Tina has learned to speak her mind without being passive aggressive about it and bette has learned how to be schooled by tina and nor rebel. Great job as always, swimmie
Thanks for another gerat update. Your Bette Porter is definitely more mature than the one we’re used to. It’s funny that Tina is more uncomfortable having Helena around than Bette is…that shows some ceryaon growth on Bette’s part that the sight of Helena is enough to get her blood boiling since hse knows about her and Tina’s recent fling. Post soon. Keep up the great writing!
