“Here then!” Tina shouted throwing Bette’s jacket right back at her, “I didn’t know doing something for me was such a hard task for you.”

“Wait, Tina! That’s not what I meant!” Bette cried as Tina stormed off towards the car. The brunette quickly followed her.

“What Bette?” she shouted as we reached the Saab, “this is too hard for you? You’re supposed to these nice things for me because you feel it in your heart to do so, not because you think it’ll make me happy enough to have sex with you!”

“Tina…” Bette started but was cut off when Tina just walked away and hailed a cab.

It has been a week since that horrible disaster at the carnival. It was still freezing cold outside. The weather had not changed one bit. In fact the temperature was plummeting on it’s own without the help of any other climate. Bette had been sleeping on the couch everyday since.She was hoping Tina would talk to her as she wanted to give her the big news when she was happy with her not angry. Bette had ordered Chinese and was enjoying her teriyaki chicken with chow mein as she watched “the tonight show with Jimmy Fallon.”

All the lights were off in the house, and the blue light from the screen illuminated the entire room. Angelica had knocked out when they were watching “The Incredibles” and Tina had gone into the room once she got home from work.

Bette was eating quietly when Tina walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Bette looked over to her. She leaned over to the table and put “My Sweet Audrina” down on the table.

“Read it,” she said.

Bette gave her a wry smile, “loved it didn’t ya?”

“I can see why you’re addicted,” Tina responded softly.

Silence filled the room. All that was heard was the comical voice of Jimmy Fallon on the TV making yet another joke about President Obama and his team.

“You wanna eat?” the brunette said handing her wife one of the boxes on the table.

Tina smiled and took the box along with the chopsticks. She opened the box and looked over to Bette, “Orange chicken? You ordered my favorite?”
