Chapter 17: “I hate you guys so much”

Alice’s mouth falls open at the picture in front of her, Shane and Dana turn around and their mouths fall open. Dana closes her mouth and her face erupts into a loud smile. She stands up and shakes her head. Bette and Tina were standing in the entrance holding hands. They looked so happy

“You two are the worst jokers in LA” Bette and Tina smile loudly and walk over the table where Dana gives them each a huge hug “I’m so happy for you both” they look at the other three sitting around the table. Shane and Kit were wearing beaming smiles whilst Alice was looking a little annoyed at them

“I can’t believe you fell for the act Al” Bette and Tina sit on the loveseat. Their hands still entwined. The others laugh along with Bette and Tina

“You should have been an actress Porter” Bette laughs. She could have been, but art had always been her passion in life until she met Tina and changed all that

“We couldn’t help ourselves, we’re sorry Al” Bette looks at her partner and smiles. ‘Partner? Where did that come from? Girlfriend Bette, she’s your girlfriend’ The thought of Tina being her partner made Bette smile with contentment. But it was too soon to make sure a commitment to one another. They had only just got together

“I hate you guys so much” Tina laughs. She looks over to Bette, who was in a world of her own.

“Babe you ok?” Bette snaps out of her trance at the sound of Tina’s voice. She looks up at her lover and smiles

“Sorry” the group look at Bette, it was obvious she was contemplating something and it was also it was something to do with the beautiful woman sitting next to her; if the smile on her face was anything to go by

“You were miles way, what’s on your mind” Bette shakes her head and smiles gently. She didn’t want to talk about what she had just thought about. Not just yet any way

“Nothing I just zoned out for minute” Tina nods. She was praying Bette wasn’t having second thoughts about them. It would kill her if Bette ever left her “I was just thinking how lucky I am to have you back in my life” Tina gives a Bette a sweet kiss on the lips. There is a synchronised round of ‘awws’ from the gang including Alice

“You’re two are made to be with each other” Bette nods and sweetly kisses Tina on the lips. Alice knew she could stay mad at them forever and she knew that they would probably keep winding her up.

“Next time you guys pull one your jokes I’ll be ready” Bette and Tina laugh along with the others “I’m just glad you two are back together” Bette and Tina smile and nod

“We’re glad too” But Alice was just too curious

“So how is our blushing blonde in bed” Tina went bright red; Dana, Shane and Kit shook their heads in amazement and Bette’s mouth fell open “That good huh? Wow Tina you must be an animal if Bette Porter is speechless” Tina put her head in her hands. Her face was bright red and Bette was just speechless

“Fuckin hell Al you’re unbelievable” Alice looked over to her girlfriend and shrugs “You don’t just ask someone what their sex life is like its wrong” Alice needed details if she was going to get through today knowing that Bette and Tina were together and that they had sealed the deal

“Bette’s silence tells the whole story anyway so I don’t need details anymore” Shane, Dana and Kit shake their heads and Bette and Tina just sit in silence. They could have died from embarrassment.
