Tina: “okay be right back..”

Tina proceeded to the bathroom…while Bette headed out back…she pulled out her exercise mat and decided to work out a bit…

******************* Bette’s house…That afternoon

Bette stepped onto the mat…and began stretching when her cellphone rang…she picked it up

Bette: “hey Heidi, what’s up?”

Heidi: “Bette, I just got off the phone with Mike McPhantom he’s interested in that lesbian peace on monogamy”

Bette smiles and opens the fridge

Bette: “no way…your kidding right?” she goes into the livingroom and collapses on the sofa

Heidi: “nope not this time boss, he wants to buy it….his asking price is 25,000 for the piece”

Bette swallows some of her water…she shakes her head and says

Bette: “hmm, no, tell him 35,000 and he can keep the frame” she smiles

Heidi busts out laughing and says

Heidi: “okay, I’ll get on it..good afternoon Ms. Porter”

Bette: “good afternoon to you too Heidi…goodbye”

Heidi: “bye”

Bette tosses the phone in the chair and laughs out loud…Tina exits the bathroom down the cool hall…she walks into the livingroom and says

Tina: “what happened?” she look over at Bette

Bette jumps up off the sofa and says

Bette: “Mike McPhantom happened T…he called Heidi today in reference to that piece on lesbian monogamy…and he thought of buying it from the musuem…isn’t that great?” she smiles hugging Tina tight

Tina: “yes, that’s great…congratulations” she squeezes her lover

Bette: “don’t congratulate me yet, Heidi has to call me back with the decision…but…keep your fingers crossed”

Tina crosses her fingers and says

Tina: “they’re crossed”

RING! RING!

Bette’s cellphone rings…she takes the call

Bette: “Heidi”

Heidi: “yes, great news Ms. Porter…Mr. McPhantom has decided to buy the piece…congratulations”

Bette looks over to Tina and takes the phone from her ear…she says

Bette: “he bought it” she winks her eye and smiles…she says “thanks so more Heidi…what would I do without you?”

Heidi: “don’t worry I am here to stay for a long time Ms. Porter…again congratulations…bye”

Bette: “bye” Bette ends the call…she says “yes, we’re in”

Tina walks over and hugs her…she says

Tina: “congratulations babe…I’m happy for you”

Bette: “thanks, god we’re gonna be just fine”

Tina: “yes, we are…lets celebrate tomorrow evening we’ll go out to a restaurant…I’ll make the reservations and all you gotta do is show up…it’s on me”
