“Uhh, Tina sweetie you know I love you.. But I can’t breath.” That didn’t phase Tina at all she continued to hug her, so seeing as how this hug was going to last a while Alice stuck out her hand and said ” hi, you must be Bette.”

“Hi nice to meet you.”

Tina withdrew herself from Alice’s embrace and said ” oh my God What the hell are you doin here? When did you get here? How did you find me?” Tina continued to ask questions until Bette interrupted and said ” sweetie I think this is a better conversation for the inside of the house.”

“Oh god, I’m sorry sweetie come in. As you already know this is Bette. Bette this is Alice. Now sit yo ass down and tell me how you found me. Because I know I didn’t tell you I was at Carmen’s house.” Alice took a seat in the chair across from Bette and Tina who were seated on the couch.

“Well, no you didn’t tell me you were here, so I had to go on a mission to find you. By the way your father is a sweet man.” Alice said looking at Bette.

“You met my father?”

“Well I had to go on a scavenger hunt to find our little Tina here. Well first I talked to your dad and he told me you were at Bette’s house. But you weren’t there, but Melvin was so he told me to go to your cousin’s girlfriend’s house and ask Carmen for her address. Which I did, and… here I is!” Alice finished in her best southern accent.

“You didn’t answer my question. What the hell are you doin’ here?”

“Well, I just couldn’t go one more summer without visiting my great aunt Lucy in Savannah. So Lenore flew me out and rented me this car. And I had to come see this hot, southern, college beauty you landed.” Alice said as she smiled at Bette while making her blush.

“So you lied to your mother about visiting a relative who probably doesn’t know you’re here, to come check out my girlfriend?”

“Absolutely.”

“Well I guess you wouldn’t be Alice if you didn’t do something absolutely reckless to come see me. Man, I’ve missed you. So hold on, wait a minute where is the fabulous Dana that you’ve been talkin bout. I’ve gotta see her.”

“Well Dana…”

“I’m sorry to interrupt but I’m starvin. So I’ll make breakfast while you two ladies catch up on “current events”. Pancakes alright with you babe? Alice, pancakes?”

“Oh yeah that’s fine, thanks.”

“Oh yeah baby, thanks.” Tina said as Bette bent down and kissed her before entering the kitchen. Bette swaggered off to the kitchen smiling, it made her feel good to see Tina so happy. While Bette was sauntering away Tina couldn’t peel her eyes from Bette’s beautiful “form”.

“Uh, Tina?”

“Huh?”

“You are so smitten aren’t you? Well hell I’d be caught up to if I had beauty like that, in the kitchen.”

“I’m sorry sweetie, well…. actually I’m not sorry.” Tina said laughing and motioning for Alice to join her on the couch. Alice joined her on the couch and couldn’t help but to smile at how giddy Tina was around her. Both Tina and Bette were a little bit happier knowing that Alice was going to be there while Bette was in Cuba.
