Birthdays- Part II
Settling onto the sofa next to Tina, Bette surveyed the spread of food on the table in front of her.
“How did you?” she asked, hand gesturing towards the food to finish her sentence.
Tina smiled at Bette’s wonderment and confusion as she carefully watched her. Sitting next to her right now made her realize how much she truly had missed Bette. It had been so long since the two of them had been in the same room together, not to mention alone in a room together.
“Let’s just say that I had a little help” smiled Tina as she casually rested her arm on the back of the sofa.
“That help wouldn’t have been from the same people that I was scheduled to see this evening now would it?”
“I’ll never tell” chuckled Tina, a sparkle evident in her eye.
“Speaking of said people” said Bette as she relaxed back into the sofa, “are we seeing them this evening?”
“Not unless you feel the need to ask them over” said Tina eyebrow raised in question.
“Well, I guess that I can manage an evening without ‘em” smiled Bette.
“Good. I was hoping that you would feel that way.”
The two women just sat there looking at each other, neither speaking, simply absorbing the other’s presence.
“How have you been” Bette softly asked, eyes falling to her hands that were folded in her lap.
“I’ve been better” Tina simply answered.
“I know the feeling” Bette whispered under her breath.
“And you?”
“Same I’d imagine” she replied, the studying of her hands continuing.
“Bette?”
“Yeah?” she whispered as she picked at some imaginary lint on her jacket.
“Bette, look at me” she instructed.
Bette immediately looked at Tina but said nothing.
“How are you really doing” Tina said, eyes never leaving Bette.
“Uh, not so good Tina” she said, eyes falling to her lap once again.
Tina didn’t say anything, just continued her study of Bette. She could tell by her body language alone that Bette’s statement was vastly understated.
“I’ve missed you” Tina gently said as she allowed her fingertips to lightly play across Bette’s shoulder.
