Tina shrugged, "all alcohol tastes like this hun, that’s why I rarely drink it."

"Then why did dad drink it?" Mikah said.

Tina looked at her in surprise. Over the years Mikah had asked millions of questions about her father but never had she asked that. She stammered not knowing what to answer.

"Hey Mikah come here, now it’s your turn to drive," Bette said saving Tina from answering. She only vaguely knew about Tina’s ex, but she wasn’t about to pressure the blonde when the subject obviously bothered her.

Mikah stood up excitedly and walked to Bette’s chair, "now it’s just like driving a car but you have to turn the wheel much more to turn. Don’t turn it too much or you’ll turn the entire boat around, just keep the boat in between these buoys here and make sure to stay away from those other boats."

"Cool," Mikah said taking Bette’s seat as the brunette stood.

Tina walked to the backseat of the yacht. It was way out of earshot from Mikah but still in her line of view. Bette joined her there promptly sitting beside her.

"You know I’ve had a lot of girlfriends before," Bette said, "they never lasted more than a week. I’ve dated plastic barbies like Kelly Wentworth, deaf artists like Jodi Lerner, Italian super models like Stephani Bellania, and freaking Japanese ambassadors like Katsushi Li."

Tina looked at her in surprise, "wow you sure took a step down. I’m just a movie producer, I haven’t even produced any big movies."

Bette shook her head and laughed, "no love, those girls with all their prestige, fame, fortune, and beauty were nothing but trophies. Someone to look good with on the cover of art magazines."

"You’re trying to tell me you take me much more seriously?" Tina said blushing.

"Way more seriously," Bette said, "in the sense that you could be the one."

"The one?" Tina said gulping.

"About two years ago I decided that I needed to get my act together and find a LIFE partner before I ended up alone and bitter," Bette said, "I started having meaningful relationships and dating women who were more than just beauty and fame."

Tina blushed and nodded for her to continue.
