Bette chuckled. “So, I guess I’m really newbie, right?”

“Well, yes…” Tina said and chuckled. Their hands brushed together and Bette took a hold of Tina’s hand. The blonde-haired woman looked at Bette.

“What? Holding hands isn’t that bad, is it?” Bette asked. Tina shrugged.

“You are the married woman here. You decide what can and can’t happen.” Tina said.

“Okay, then I decide hand holding is okay.” Bette said. They kept walking, hands locked together. Bette lifted the hands up and placed a kiss on the back of Tina’s hand.

“Bette? What is this exactly? I mean, this is confusing to me.” Tina asked. Bette sighed.

“I don’t know. What does this look like?” Bette asked, confused.

“This is like some weird first date with a lot of heavy talking.” Tina said. Bette chuckled.

“Maybe we can call this our… pre-first date.” Bette suggested.

Tina chuckled. “That’s a first…”

“Uhu.” Bette said. “Can we maybe not talk about Diego and all for the time we have left? I just want to enjoy a few hours with you before all hell breaks loose.”

Tina nodded and placed another kiss on Bette’s hand. “Okay…”

They walked through the park. After a few minutes, they stopped holding hands but Bette’s laid her arm around Tina’s shoulder. On one hand, she felt bad for Diego and almost cheating because she was really on the verge. On the other hand, she felt amazing. She hadn’t even kissed this woman and she already felt this immense connection that felt like it couldn’t be broken. She felt more… in love than she had ever been with her hubby. She knew tonight she would have to break a man’s heart but it just had to happen. She couldn’t deny herself happiness anymore.

Tina and Bette parted with a kiss on the cheek, which was very close to each other’s lips, a hug and a kiss on each other’s hand, which made them both laugh. It was silly to just do that in the middle of the street but they didn’t care.

Bette drove home and when she was almost there, she pulled over and decided to call Kit.

“Kit?” She asked when Kit picked up the phone.

“Hi, Bette, I’m fine. How are you? Oh, I’m fine, baby sis. Why are you calling?” Kit said. Bette sighed.

“I’m sorry Kit. I just came back from the park. I talked to Tina.”

“How did it go?”

“Good… Well, for me. She… She feels the same for me.”

“You didn’t cheat on Diego, right?” Kit asked, fast.

“No! Well, I don’t know. We hugged, kissed each other’s hand and cheek. Is that cheating?” Bette asked.

“I don’t think so, baby sis. But it’s pretty close.” Kit said.

“I know Kit… I guess I am not going to sleep at the house tonight. Is it okay if I come to you and crash? I know you have the kids, which is very sweet of you, but I don’t know where to stay. I can’t go to Tina’s because well we haven’t even dated yet you know?”

“It’s okay, sis. You can stay with me.”

“Thanks Kit. I appreciate it. I’m going home now. See you later I guess.” Bette said.

“Yeah, see you later, sis.”

They hung up. Bette took a few deep breaths and then started the engine, driving home.
