“Oh I’m close with mine, mums work can have her pretty busy at times, that can suck but we are a pretty tight family, what about yours?” Tina realising what she had just said and corrected herself “I mean are you close with your dad?”
“Tina don’t worry” She could see the blonde stress getting out of that one. “I’ve come to terms that my mother didn’t want me, it’s not like I’ve lost someone who was once here or anything” The waitress placed the drinks down on the table. “Tina say hi to your mum for me”
“I will”

“How on earth do you have that body when you drink that” Tina had an ice coffee with whipped cream and a vanilla milkshake with whipped cream. “Are you admitting to checking me out Ms. Porter?” Tina giggled. “You have to try them together, here” Bette sucked on both straws, it was pretty good. “So you never told me about your dad” Tina wiped the cream away from the side of Bette’s mouth causing her to smile.

“It’s hard; we have our ups and downs. He works so hard but we aren’t as poor as everyone think. The bills get paid but dad’s bailed kitty out of jail a few times which has set us back with only one income and all but he puts money away every now and then for me to go to college but it’s too expensive”

“He’s bailed your sister out?” Tina raised her eyebrows, sipping on both straws again.
“She gets into some trouble when she drinks. Are you planning on going to college?” Bette asks changing the subject.
“I’m lucky if I leave high school” She let out a shy laugh. “We have the money but I just don’t have the grades to go” Tina looked down into her drink.
“We shall have to change that, I am an excellent tutor” Bette grinned, touching her hand, she let go knowing Tina wasn’t comfortable with it just yet.
“I don’t think we’d get much studying done” Tina played with Bette’s foot under the table.
“Come on let’s go somewhere more private”

Tina pulled up in front of this beautiful two storey house. “Tina, this better be your house” Bette looked on in amazement. “Of coarse it is, silly” Tina’s house was smaller than most of the houses on her street but the house was still much bigger than Bette’s “We have to go through the back in case the maids still here.
