"I’m done talking, Bette. I’ll see you in court."

"Is that necessary?" Bette asked.

"Yes. You nearly gave me a fucking heart attack. Then, you had the nerve to abase me," Tina replies angrily.

"How? Ok, I admit, it was wrong to take Angie and leave and absurd note–" Tina attempts to turn her back on Bette. "Wait, hear me out," Bette says, holding her in place. "It was stupid. I was stupid. I shouldn’t have abducted her her. What am I saying?"

"Abducted is the right word to use, Bette."

"You’re not helping, Tina. I’m trying to get you to understand what would actuate me to take Angie." There was a knock at the door. Bette glanced at Tina watching her heavily. Next, Tina runs over suddenly. Then Bette, runs over as well. As Tina was opening the door, Bette slams it shut. "We need to talk."

"Can’t this wait? I’m having dinner with Henry."

"Is that who’s knocking?" Bette asked.

"It’s a possibility. So," Tina glances down toward Bette’s foot, "can you kindly move your foot?"

"No. We’re not done talking yet, Tina" Henry contimues to knock but with force this time.

"Babe, what’s going on in there?" Henry asked through the door.

"I can’t keep him waiting. It’s impolite to make someone wait."

"Fuck, Henry. What’s occuring this very moment is more important than some cheap date," Bette replies.

Tina laughs sarcastically. "You’re funny. But really, I have to go."

"No. Not like this. Cancel it." Bette demands.

Tina’s eyes widen at her command. "Make me," Tina challenged.

"My pleasure," Bette replies, opening the door. "I’m canceling your date with mu wife tonight." Bette says to Henry. Tina chuckles inside the room. Bette had balls-big ones too. Tina thought she was cute at standing her ground. It showed Tina Bette’s sensitive and serious side. Moreover, this caught her attention.

"What? Bette, please!" Henry shouts. "You have no say so un Tina’s life anymore. Got that!" Henry shouts again.

Bette wipes his saliva from her shirt. She was disgusted, when she thought of his wet tongue on Tina’s neck and where the sun does not shine. She made a silent bet that he never tasted Tina, nor knew what it was like to give her real pleasure, than some cheap ten-second fuck. He reminded her of a testicle with legs-hanging around for nothing. "No. Get this though; your little night on the town ends here. She’s staying with our daughter and me tonight. So, if there’s anything you’d like for me to pass on, I’d do you the honor of relaying the message," Bette says.
