Melvin: Well, uhm, and you Tina. You have a boyfriend?

I: No.

Helena: And you two?

She points at Kit and P-J.

Kit: Oh, My boyfriend’s name is Angus Partridge. He is 16.

P-J: My girlfriend is Gigi Ace. She’s 20 and very beautiful.

Doria: And you Bette?

Bette shot out of her dream.

Bette: Uhm, sorry?

Mom repeats her question.

Bette: No, no…

I: Then we are the only singles.

I smile and she smiles back at me. We eat and the conversation goes on after 10 minutes or so Melvin speaks.

Melvin: Well, maybe we should hear everyone’s opinion on moving in together.

Kit: I’m okay with it. I like everyone and if something comes up, well, I’m gone in a few months, to college so…

P-J: I’m at university so for me it isn’t that important but I like everyone and I wouldn’t mind living with Tina, Helena and Doria.

Helena: I’m fine with it. Kit and P-J are great and I’m sure I will like Bette to if she opens-up and we get the chance to really talk. I love how Melvin doesn’t try to be my ‘dad’. I’m sure he knows that I have boundaries and I appreciate that.

I: No problem at all. You are all great and I don’t see why I wouldn’t want to be living with you all.

Bette: I don’t have a problem with it… anymore. Dad promised me we wouldn’t go live far away from my Mom and now I’m okay with it. I like everyone so I’m fine with it.

Doria and Melvin smile.

Melvin: I found a house. It haze everything we need. Big kitchen, three bathrooms, a big living room, a pool but it haze only 5 rooms. So two of you need to sleep together.

Helena: I’m not sleeping in one room with Tina. I love you, TK but I want my privacy when Dusty comes over.

Kit and P-J have the same arguments as Helena.

I: Maybe… Bette and I could sleep in one room. It would be fun. What do you think, Bette?

Bette smiles a small smile.

Bette: That sounds okay. We get on great, so, yeah.

Doria: Really?

Bette: Yes.

Melvin: Well I have some pictures.
