"So you’re saying I should just let you make your own mistakes?" Mikah said.

"Don’t I let you do that?" Tina said, "do I not let you make important decisions and let you learn your own lessons?"

"Yes."

"Then it’s only fair that you give me the same courtesy," Tina said.

Mikah smiled and nodded, "I understand. I’m sorry mom."

"Look, if something happens and I get hurt," Tina said, "all I want you to do is give me your love and support."

Mikah smiled and kissed Tina’s cheek, "you got it mom."

"Now," Tina said taking out the sketches, "about this."

"Oh mom that’s nothing," Mikah said.

"What do you mean nothing?" Tina said. "Bette happens to be a professional in art and she says that this ‘nothing’ of yours is amazing!"

Mikah looked surprised, "really?"

"Mikah, how come you’ve never shown me this before?" Tina asked.

"I’ve shown you my drawings before," Mikah said.

"You’ve shown me comics, not this," Tina said. "Bette would actually like to help you."

"Help me? How?" Mikah asked.

"She’s a great artist and she knows a lot of people who can teach you, she can exhibit your art," Tina said.

"That’s very nice but you know I wanna be a singer," Mikah said.

"Who said you can’t do both?" Tina said.

"You really think I can do both?"

"You can do anything you set your mind to babe," Tina said handing Mikah the sketches, "think about it."

After dinner Mikah retired to bed and Tina went to her room to wait for Bette’s phone call. She had been excited about it all day long and finally the time had come.

When her cell phone rang she tried to not answer to quickly but she couldn’t stop her stammer, "h-hello?"

"Hey love, anxious much?" Bette’s sexy voice said through the line.

"I love your voice," Tina said.

"Well, your gonna love it even more after this lesson," Bette said.

"What exactly is this lesson?" Tina asked.

"There’s only one rule about these lessons dear, you don’t ask questions and you don’t hesitate. You do what I say without a shadow of a doubt, understand?"

Tina gulped, "yes mistress."

"Mm I’m loving that tag Tina, you’re a fast learner."
