  At the table Tina was looking trough the menu. She was hesitating between eggs with ham and pancakes…Bette sat next to her and took the other menu…

“Hard to choose isn’t it?” Bette mumbled, meaning something complete different then a breakfast.

“No…I love pancakes…” Tina said back, not tuning her eyes away from the menu.

“I wasn’t talking about the breakfast…” Bette said glancing at her.

“I know what you’re talking about…” Tina said, placing the menu back on the table…” I’ll ask you just one question!” Tina said gathering her palms together…”Are you ready to sacrifice your freedom?”

“Yes!” Bette answered without hesitation.

“Are you sure?” Tina asked again…

“Those are two questions…” Bette mumbled looking straight in Tina’s eyes.

“Don’t be smart on me…” Tina warns. Bette placed the menu away and tuned her body completely toward Tina.

“You know me better than anyone on this word, even my own sister. I know what my reputation is, and I’ll carry this cross probable till I die. Today when Dr. Wilson said that I should tell your husband to be patient with you…all I wanted to do is yell at her that you don’t have husband and I’m the person who will took care of you and this little person…” Bette said at the verse of tears…”You’re asking me if I’m ready to sacrifice my freedom? I’m ready to sacrifice my life, if that means you’re going to be ok…”

Tears were streaming down Tina’s cheeks…She only nods and dragged Bette close to her, hugging her thigh. Meanwhile the girls were just walking in and they witnessed this gesture. Alice start clapping and cheering them. Dana covered her mouth and dragged her away. Kit was near the bar; she smiled at her baby sis. Finally, there was some order in her life. Kit greeted Alice and Dana with warm hug.

“Kit…are they finally…?” Dana asked eagerly. Kit nods smiling.

“Gosh…it was time…” Alice said gesturing with her hand in the air.

“Let’s have some breakfast…” Alice dragged Dana after her and they stopped next to their table.” Hey, love birds…” Alice said wiggling with her eyebrows…

“Hey…queen of the bad timing…” Bette mumbled, releasing Tina of her embrace. Dana and Tina chuckled…”What brings you here?” Bette asked taking the menu again.

“The good food and cheery costumers…” Alice said sarcastically…”What brings you here?”

“The thought of been away from you…” Bette said glaring at Alice.

Tina slapped gently Bette behind her head, warning her to be good. They will have plenty of time to be just two of them. After the girls had breakfast, Bette had to head to the CAC, she was already late, but who cares. Walking through the entry doors, Bette immediately was spotted by Jody. Trying to avoid any contact with that woman, Bette hurriedly walked at her office. Jody, insolent as always walked after her…

“Someone’s late this morning…?!” She said playing with her pan…

“I was busy…” Bette answered avoiding Jody’s eyes…

“Your girlfriend had been unstable, hum…” Jody provoked her. Bette didn’t bother to answer.

“Bette come on… don’t be such a pussy…” Jody walked next t her, and seductively traced her hand up and down on Bette’s. Bette pushed her away and stepped aside…

“Don’t you have someone else to bug…I’m pretty busy for your bullshits…” Bette said angrily. Jody was taken aback, that always had effect on Bette, but this time she saw only coldness and disgust.

“No…” Jody said with smug smile…”James’s busy…!”

“Yeah, he’s working. Something unknown for you lately…” Bette hiss…

“Bette, I know that you’re hurt, but I made a mistake…I shouldn’t have let you go…” Jody tried to break through Bette’s walls…

“You’re right…it was mistake…” Bette said, making a pause…”You and me…that was the mistake!” Bette pushed Jody little and passed through her. She stopped at the doorway and turned back…”Stay away from me…I mean it!”

“But…but you can’t just leave me…I love you…” Jody winced…

“Watch me…” was all that Bette said. She slammed the door closed and left Jody behind. “James, I’m heading home. If you need me, call me…” She said triumphantly leaving the building.
