Bette woke up before Tina the next morning. The sun was just rising and the sunrays on Tinas body made Bette smile. She knew last night was a magical night. But what was she supposed to do about that? Bette knew she would never be able to settle down. Tina, however, was putting doubts about Bette and her single life to bed. She quietly got out of bed, and walked to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, slipped her pajamas and walked into the living room. Alice was awake and looking at Bette with this evil grin on her face.

Alice: good morning lover, so tell me all about it.

Bette: Al, you should know I dont kiss and tell. But I will tell you that this girl has me at a loss for words.

Alice: Bette Porter are you into Tina?

Bette: yes and it scares the ***** out of me. I held her all night long, Al, you know me, I dont do that

Alice: yes you love and leaveno offense.

Bette: none takenI just did not want to let her go. What does that mean?

Alice: I think it means you like this Tina Kennard an awful lot.

Bette: what do I do? I am afraid to stay, but even more afraid to leave.

Alice: look, Bette, just take it slow and easymaybe just date her and other people

Bette: I could not handle it if she were with another womanOh my God it would drive me insane.

Alice: You want to date ONLY her????

In the shower, Tina is singing softly, she does not hear Bette come inBette put her hands on Tinas shoulders, and lowered her mouth to Tinas neck.

Bette: you look beautiful Baby,

Tina: thank you Bette, you look beautiful too. I enjoyed last night so much. I really enjoy you.

Bette: (hands roaming over Tinas body.) is it because I make you feel good? Is it because of the *****?
