Tina frowned at her.
Uh oh. Too obvious?
"I only like Tracy with Hepburn, you know that." Tina said. She smiled at Bette. "Did you sleep well?"
"Before and after her screaming bout, I slept pretty well." Bette smiled.
Tina turned to Angelica, who was struggling in her arms. "What’s wrong, honey?"
Angelica motioned to the milkshake she’d abandoned.
"Oh," Tina grabbed the cup. "No wonder your lips were so cold."
Angelica grabbed the cup, and resumed feeding.
"Fast hands," Bette noted.
"Like her mother?" Tina smirked at her.
Bette looked at her, and smiled. After a brief pause, dove right in. "What do you do when she’s with me?"
Tina tilted her head to the side. "Clean, mostly. Watch movies."
"Date?" Bette asked.
Tina smiled at Angelica. "Mama B’s edgy."
"Tina."
"It doesn’t matter, does it?" Tina asked.
"You’re not answering the question."
"No, Bette, I don’t date. I haven’t dated in…" Tina turned to Angelica. "Angel, when did Mama last date?"
Angelica answered in that language of hers.
Tina looked at Bette. "Forty days."
Oh. Bette lowered her gaze. She herself just had a date last Tuesday, so that didn’t bode well for her righteous dialogue.
"What about you, Bette? When did you last go out on a date?" Tina asked playfully, knowing what road Bette had intended to take and instead ended up at a dead end.
"You’re right, it doesn’t matter." Bette dropped the subject.
"You’re sure? You don’t want to ask if I’ve been dating men or women?"
Oh, she wanted to. "No."
"Good."
"Okay, yes, I want to know." Bette caved.
Tina rested her head on top of her daughter’s own. "Because–?"
"Tina!"
"Someone once told me that who I date doesn’t dictate who I am," Tina teased, enjoying the look of frustration on Bette’s face.
"What idiot told you that?"
"Yale grad with a killer smile."
Bette frowned at her, then realized what Tina had said. She laughed softly. "I walked into that one, didn’t I?"
