“I didn’t know that you had a sister” Tina said breaking the silence

“Yea, Kit, my older half sister. She’s singer. Her band is coming this weekend”

“That must have been fun growing up. Having a sister who was in a band”

“Sometimes she would take me with her when she had rehearsal, but mostly she was always on the road”

“Bette, I’m sorry about earlier, I over reacted. I shouldn’t have jump to conclusions,” Tina said

“Tina it’s okay. It was a mistake. No harm no foul. What matters is that you’re here,” Bette told her leaning forward and taking her hand. Bette caressed Tina’s hand and just as she was going to kiss her, the delivery guy came into the back yard.

“Hey there Bette, I got your usual, still hot”

“Thanks Mike, What do I owe you?” Bette said getting up from her seat. She walked over to the table to get her wallet. When she turned around she noticed that Mike was leering at Tina. Even though it seemed like Tina wasn’t paying attention, jealousy flashed through her eyes.

“Mike?” She snapped her fingers “Eyes up here, what do I owe you?” She asked losing her patience.

“Thirty one fifty” He replied finally taking his eyes from Tina and looking at Bette. She usually gave a generous tip but she decided that since Mike wanted to visually paw her girlfriend, he got nothing.

“Here you go Mike,” She said walking over to him.

“Thanks Bette. Pleasure doing’ business witcha” She handed him the money and held on to his hand.

“Oh and next time Mike, keep your eyes in your head and off my girlfriend” Bette told him in a low voice so that Tina wouldn’t hear the exchange between the two. She picked up the bag and walked away.

“Every time. Without fail, it happens.” Tina thought to herself. She had braced herself to feel Bette’s soft lips against hers and they were interrupted. She watched Bette walk over to the table where she had left her wallet.
