“I’m sorry for ruining your plan. But thanks for everything.”

“Oh no T, I’m sorry to come here unannounced…”

“I gave you the keys so that you can make full use of it like this… but of course I’m hoping the next time you do it again, it’ll be without the presence of anyone else.”

“I sure hope so too T.”

Bette looks up and “Wow… you did an impressive job cleaning up your room.”

“Yea, I’m very serious when I’m doing my job Porter.”

“I bet you are and how good your work ethnic is.”

“Ouch Porter, are you complaining  that I’m being unprofessional?”

“No T, you’re beyond greater in doing your job… without you, I might be still stuck up in the hospital.”

“Don’t be such a drama queen Porter.”

“One thing for sure, I bet there’re a lot of people will love to have you as their nurse… being so kind, gentle… and loving…”

The lean in and kiss each other softly on the lips then Tina walks over and sits on her bed, patting on the space beside her “Come here babe.”

Bette walks over to it and decided to lie down.

“So your sister is moving in with you heh?”

“Yea, they just showed up out of nowhere with an USC offer letter today and announcing her moving in with me. Surprise.” *sarcastically*

“But… I’m relief though. I would have worried about Kelly if she’s to live in another place, having her close to me is better to watch over and look after her.” say Tina while working her fingers on Bette’s scalp.

“Mmm… if you keep on doing that, I will fall asleep here and would never leave tonight.”

“That’s a very good proposition. Then I can have Kelly to sleep with my ma in the other room. She is not a good partner to sleep on the same bed with.”

“Yea? Not as good as me heh?”

“Hmm… let me see who’s the best… hmm…”

“Hey! But seriously, I’m happy to meet your family; I guess there are no other better circumstances heh? And Kelly is like a sister to me too now, so yea, it’ll be great to have her close.”

“So no more heavy make-out on my couch?”

“Ouch… yea… you’re right… but….” Bette’s look turns mischievous, “There’s always MY couch.”

Tina purposely messes up Bette’s hair while her fingers are still in it. When Bette is getting up to start to ‘fight’ Tina, there’s a knock on the door and Martha walks in.

“Another fight?” she raises an eyebrow looking at two of them.

“Yea, busted.”

“Haha, I’m going to make some hot chocolate, you girls want any?”

“Oh no thanks, I should get going, it’s getting late.”

“You’re leaving already?” ask a disappointed Tina.

“It’s almost midnight T.”

Looking at Bette’s watch and knowing it’s past Martha’s bed time, Tina reluctantly, “Oh ok.”

“Ya, make one for me ma, thanks.”

Martha leaves, both the girls stand up and Bette is straightening her clothes and hair.

“Will I see you tomorrow?” Tina asks, missing her girlfriend already.

“Only if you want to see me?”

“You know I want to see you everyday, every hour and every minute.”

Bette’s heart swells; she leans in and places a gentle kiss on Tina.

“We are going to shop for Kelly’s necessities, you wanna come along?”

“I would love to.”

Tina smiles brighten, “I’ll see you tomorrow then, meet me at 9am, and we’ll have breakfast then go off shopping.”

“Ok.”

Tina leans in and kisses Bette harder.

“Goodnight Bette.”

“Sweet dreams T.”

When they are walking to the door, “See you Kelly, see you Martha and thank you very much for the dinner.”

After seeing Bette off, Tina closes the door and walk into her kitchen to drink her hot chocolate. “She’s a nice lady.” Comment Martha.

“She sure is…”

After laying out their shopping plan for tomorrow, they head off to bed.
