    Beginnings- chapter 6

     

    Going through her stack of messages, she knew that she had calls to return but it was just going to have to wait.  She needed this unexpected break in her schedule to catch her breath and process everything that had happened up to this point.

     

    Hearing the front door open, she realized that her break was over as her 4 o’clock must have arrived.

     

    Taking a deep breath, she stood up, straightened her jacket and started towards the door of her office.

     

    Just as she came around the corner, she nearly ran smack into Tina. 

     

    “T?” she asked, surprised at seeing her here at the gallery.

     

    “Hey baby” she smiled as she leaned in to give Bette a kiss.

     

    “Hey” she answered, returning the kiss.  “What are you doing here?” she asked.

     

    Placing her hands on Bette’s forearms, she started walking her backwards back towards her office.

     

    “What are you doing?” smiled Bette.

     

    “In” said Tina as she closed the door behind them.

     

    “T, I don’t know if you are aware of this or not, but I have a meeting that is supposed to be starting any minute” she said as Tina led them over to the sofa.

     

    “Sit” she instructed, nodding towards the sofa.

     

    “A woman of few words I see” chuckled Bette.

     

    Joining Bette on the sofa, Tina took both of Bette’s hands in hers and looked directly in her eyes.

     

    “Baby?”

     

    “Yes?”

     

    “What would you say if I told you that I had found our home?”

     

    “Found our home?” repeated Bette.  “What do you mean?”

     

    “Just that” smiled Tina.  “I have just come from looking at a house, not but five minutes from here, and baby, it is perfect.  It’s us, it’s our house.”

     

    “Really?” smiled Bette, Tina’s enthusiasm contagious.

     

    “Really, baby.  You would think that we had designed and built it ourselves.  The neighborhood is perfect, just where we have wanted to be and get this, there’s a pool!”

     

    “A pool, huh?” laughed Bette.

     

    “Yes, a pool and if that weren’t enough, it’s a ***** couple with a child that’s selling it.”

     

    “Really?” smiled Bette.

     

    “Yes, sowhat do you think?”

     

    “Well, can I see it or have you already bought it?” teased Bette.

     

    Just then there was a knock on the door.  Peeking her head in, Sharon said, “Bette, your 4 o’clock‘s here.”

     

    “Ok” said Bette, “please tell them that I’ll be right out.”

     

    Turning back to Tina, she said, “T, I’ve gotta go.”

     

    “How long is this appointment going to last?” she asked, not letting go of Bette’s hands.

     

    “I don’t know, an hour maybe?”

     

    “Baby, I really want to take you over to this house, today if possible” explained Tina.

     

    “Well, this is actually my last appointment for the day because the one that I had after this one cancelled.”

     

    “Can I just wait for you then?” asked Tina, excited as a child on Christmas morning.

     

    “Well sure, but what are you going to do?” asked Bette.

     

    “I can entertain myself” said Tina as she stood them both up.  “You just go out there and get this over with” she said as she was pushing Bette towards the door.

     

    “Good Lord, T.  First you are pulling me in and now you’re pushing me out” chuckled Bette.  “Can you make up your mind?”

     

    “Trust me baby” Tina whispered into Bette’s ear as she pulled her into a hug.  “My mind was made up a long time ago.  Now go!” she laughed as she opened the door and pushed Bette through it.  “And hurry” she whispered as Bette walked away merely shaking her head.

     

    Closing the door behind Bette, Tina couldn’t help the huge smile that spread across her face.

     

    “We’re gonna make this happen” she said to the room around her.  “We’re really going to make this happen.”
