I carried her into the living room, rounded the kitchen then back into her bedroom… all the time with her giggling happily… well if we sum up our ages… we’re way over 50 years old!! And yet, we were acting like we were 5… but with Tina, I could care less… people are so tensed up all the time. I really do cherish my carefree moments with Tina…

Reaching her bedroom, I turned with our backs to her bed, then, “One… two… go…” both of us dropped back down onto her bed… I was exhausted… “I’m beat Tee…” I lied still on her… had no intention to move off her… she is so comfortable to lie on. We stayed like that with her playing with my hair… another weakness… I would fall asleep when anyone or anything massaging my scalp, playing with my hair… it felt so good then…

“Wow… you two sure look blissful…” said Alice leaning on the doorframe.

I extended my hand towards Tina, palm up as if asking for something. Well Tina knew me too well handed me a pillow and I threw it towards Alice… too bad it missed…

We sat up on the bed, “Why don’t you two grab a breakfast with us at The Planet then share all your juicy details heh?” invited Alice while wiggling her eyebrows wickedly.

“We have no juicy details to tell you Al…” I stated matter of fact.

“And what do you think we would share anything with you?” I turned to look at Tina who seemed like wanting to tease Alice and Dana.

After washing up and getting ready, the girls were at The Planet devouring their breakfast. Bette never had such a good appetite in the morning for a very long time… thanks to the strenuous ‘exercise’ in the morning that had helped her to increase her appetite. Once in a while she would steal Tina’s bacons and eggs, while Tina would steal Bette’s pancakes for a bite or two too. They seemed so comfortable with each other that sharing things are just all so familiar and usual things for them to do. They even shared their drinks…

“So….what was that we saw this morning and busted last night?” Alice, with her suspicions and curiosity… ugh….

“Huh?” Bette feigned innocent.

“Well you saw it all… what do you think it is?” came from Tina. Bette turned to look at Tina, she was unbelievable… Tina didn’t even look at Bette to hint her anything but Bette got the message and would just play along with it anyway.

“Uh-huh… so when did it all started?”

“Oh you know it well Al…” answered Tina while slapping her palm onto Bette’s back rolling intimately… Bette’s eyes almost bucked out the she choked when she accidentally swallowed the food into the wrong pipe.

Alice eyed them suspiciously… after swallowing the food into the right pipe and getting enough of cough and oxygen… Bette finally gave up… “Al, nothing happened… we just played last night and this morning… that’s all…” Alice still eyeing them warily… “Hell Al, what will you believes then?”

After enough chuckling, Tina chimed in… “Ah well… yea, she’s right Al, we were just playing…” although it was a painful admission because both of them sure hope and know it was more than their playful antics.

Alice looked at them hard… she knew what happened… but she wondered why were both of them seemed like hiding ‘it’ from her and Dana… each best friend on purpose? What Alice didn’t know was that both her friends were still too afraid to take the first baby step.

Tina

“You want to go for a movie?” Bette asked nervously.

“Are you asking me out on a date?” I so wanted to challenge her to see if it works to get any hints from her by challenging her.

Bette decided to go along with the flow… “What if I’m…”

Blushed… oh my gosh, this isn’t happening…wait… wait.. just calm…ok…say yes, just say yes… “Y…” the voice stuck in the throat. “Ehem… yes… I would love to…” I couldn’t help but feel so happy and petrified at the same time…
