“Really?”

Tina nodded. “Yeah—I really want her to walk me down the aisle. You think she’ll say yes.”

“Of course she’ll say yes T. She would love to.” Tina grabbed Bette’s hand and kissed it.

“Where do you see yourself in ten years?”

Bette smiled. “Well—I see myself still married to you and very happy, and I’ll have my own art school.” She entwined her fingers with Tina’s. “What about you?”

“I’ll be pregnant again with our third child—taking time off away from my own movie studio. I’ll be still married to you and very much in love and very happy.” Bette ran Tina’s fingers across her lips as she left soft kisses on her skin. “I want to have lots and lots of babies with you. I want to have ten kids.”

“You want ten.” Tina chuckled.

“Okay, maybe ten’s pushing it. Does three sound better?”

“Yes.” Tina kissed Bette’s cheek, and Bette smiled softly. “I love you T. I’m so happy that I’m going to grow old with you.”

Tina leaned her cheek against Bette’s cheek and kissed her skin. “I love you, and I can’t wait to grow old with you. I’m happy that God sent you to me.” Bette turned her head towards Tina and kissed her sensually.

                Bette was sitting at her desk and raked her fingers through her hair. She was looking over scholarships for new students to attend the University for this coming up fall. She heard something on her computer screen and looked up. She noticed she had an instant message from Tina.

TK: Good. Todd has been kissing my ass since I’ve brought Katherine Brooks into the movie. = )

TK: no—she’s keeping her distance. Bette smiled at Tina’s answer and typed away.

BP_deanCU: I’m glad 2 c that she knows that u belong to someone.  =)  Tina smirked.

TK signed off.

“James?” He popped his head into the office.

“Yes Bette,” she smiled softly.

“Can you tell Phyllis that I’m going home for today?” Bette began to grab her things.

“What do you want me to tell her?”

“Tell her that I forgot that Tina and I had to take Angelica to the doctor’s for a check-up.” She walked away from her desk. “After you take care of that, go home and enjoy the rest of your day.” She smiled softly at him, and he returned the smile.

“What are you so happy about?” She looked at him and smiled wider.

“I’m in love.” She nodded. “I’m in love.”
