Bette beamed.

Bette: Yeah, I would love to.

Tina: This is my last week in Paris, Monday morning we fly back to LA so… I guess we should have a few dates before I go.

Bette: Tee, what will happen when you go to L.A.?

Tina: I guess we’ll have to call each other a lot and maybe you can come to L.A. in a few weeks or months.

Bette: Weeks, not months.

Tina chuckled.

Tina: Okay then… So, I guess I can call you my girlfriend then?

Bette chuckled.

Bette: Yeah, I guess so. I’m proud to be your girl.

Tina: You better be.

They smiled at each other. Soon, they were finished and Bette had another 15 minutes before she had to start working again. They sat on the couch and Bette took Tina’s hand in hers.

Bette: I love you.

Tina smiled at her ‘girlfriend’.

Tina: I love you to, babe.

Bette had to swallow a few times to stop herself from crying. She had missed Tina calling her babe. Tina noticed.

Tina: I’ve missed calling you that.

Bette: I’ve missed you calling me that, baby.

Tina: I love that nickname.

Bette smiled.

Bette (whiney): I don’t want you to go back to Los Angeles.

Tina chuckled: I have to go. I have a job and my daughters miss their friends.

Bette: Where are they?

Tina: They are in the hotel room.

Bette: Does Eddy has something with that Naomi girl?

Tina: I don’t know. I’ll check up on that.

Bette: I really love your kids you know.

Tina: Yeah, they are amazing.

Bette: Just like their mother.

Tina: Flattery will get you everywhere.

Bette: Oh, really?

Bette gave Tina a flirtatious look.

Tina: Not everywhere… You know what I mean.

Bette: So… I can get a kiss, right?

Tina smiled and leaned closer.

Tina: Yeah, you can.

Bette covered the last inches and their lips touched. It was as if a flame was being light and two minutes later, Bette was lying on her back, Tina covering her, their tongues battling and Bette’s hand under Tina’s t-shirt, feeling the skin of Tina’s back. André knocking on the door interrupted their passionate encounter. They jumped of each other but when the man walked in he could see they had been doing something.

André: Uh, Bette, there are a few people that want to talk to you.

Bette, still a little out of breath: I’ll be there in a few.

André: Okay…

The man closed the door again.

The women looked at each other and began giggling. When the laughter died down, they parted with a short kiss. Well, a few short kisses, promising one another to have dinner tonight. With the girls but still, they would see each other. Bette knew they weren’t back together again but still, she was convinced it wouldn’t take too long anymore.
