The next morning Bette and Tina sat at the breakfast table. The girls had murmured something to Tina that they were too tired and would stay in the hotel room today. Normally, Tina would have pulled them from under the covers and pushed them into the shower but now, she let them sleep. She wanted to talk to Bette about last night.

Tina: Hey, Bette, we should probably talk about last night.

Bette looked up and couldn’t help but worry.

Bette: If you want to.

Tina: Bette, I don’t want you to… get your hopes up.

Bette: What do you mean?

Tina: I am not sure of wanting to be back together with you. Right now, we are not together. I just want you to know that.

Bette nodded. She couldn’t help but feel sadness.

Bette: Okay…

Tina: We just kissed. That’s all…

Judith: Oh my God, you guys kissed.

The sisters, who just walked into the restaurant, gave each other a high five. Tina put her head in her hands.

Tina whispers: Oh, no…

Bette smiled at this. Edith held her thumbs up to Bette and Bette did it back to her. Tina looked up and catched that. She glared at Bette who just laughed.

Tina: I thought you girls would stay in the hotel room today.

Edith: Yeah, but we were bored and decided to join you guys. Good we did.

The girls sat down at the table, Bette and Tina looked at each other. There went their time to talk. They silently decided to talk later.

Tina walked into Bette’s office; they were still on for lunch. Bette couldn’t help but smile when she saw Tina.

Bette: Hi.

Tina smiled back.

Tina: Hey… I found a Chinese take-out around here, so, I hope you still like the same.

Bette: I do.

Tina sat down and soon they were eating.

Bette: Do you still want to talk?

Tina nodded.

Tina: Yeah… I just don’t want you to think that just because we kissed that we are together all of a sudden. I want to do this right; I really want to go slow.

Bette nodded.

Bette: Yeah, I understand. We’ll do this on your terms Tina.

Tina: So, would you… like to date me?
