Tina blushed. “So the food was okay?”

“It was more than okay. It was terrific, splendid, tremendous. I think I just fell in love with you more.”

“You just remember that when you’re at school.” It slipped before Tina had been able to control it.

“What do you mean?”

“Bette… I’m not stupid. Emily sleeps in the dorm next to yours and she was your first girlfriend. She was your first lover, the person that ‘introduced’ you to lesbian sex. Then there’s Louise, of course she has a boyfriend but you can turn any girl gay. Then there is Erics girlfriend. I know Eric, I know how he loves women, so I wouldn’t be suprised if he made a move on you. He’s very charming, he knows exactly how he can get something done from a woman. And then there’s Alexandra, who you seem to like very much. Not to speak of all those other girls there who probably run after you all the time but you don’t tell me about to protect me.”

Bette smiled and shook her head. “Emily was my first girlfriend, but not my first love. And that is the crucial word: love. She was the first person I had sex with, but making love to you was so different, because again, there was love involved. Louise… she’s not my type. She’s too outgoing, she knows everyone and everything that walks and is always bursting with energy and you know I like a calm evening in. She would go out every night if she could. Even if she was my type, I would never cheat on her, because you are the love of my life and I fought so hard for you, I will never let you go. They’ll have to kill me first. If Erics girlfriend is as empty-headed as to start a relationship with her mother’s boyfriend, her mother having been the woman he cheated with on someone else, and seriously expect him to love her truly, then I couldn’t even spend ten minutes with her. Eric has a penis and I don’t like those very much, so no worries there. I know what he’s like, I know how much of a retarded pig he is because he hurt you and I will never forgive him for that. Alexandra is straight and I may have developed feelings for her if I had been single, but Tina… I have you. How could I even look at someone else and want to kiss them if I know I can come here any time and kiss you?”
