Bette: So you can stay here and I’ll drop you off tomorrow and pick you up

Tina: Yeah you could but I haven’t been home in a while and I want to make sure that everything is ok. You know take the trash out and clean my grandparents dishes because I know that they left some for me to do

Bette: I feel like you’re leaving forever

Tina: Bette be serious you can always call and drop by. And we can continue to do what we’ve been doing

Bette: I know but it’s kind of hard when you’re used to waking up to someone so beautiful and ***** everyday all day

(Tina smiles at the comment…She leans down and kisses Bette on the lips…)

Tina: I’ll come by tomorrow night

Bette: Ok tomorrow night what about the night after that?

Tina: You can stay at my place we’ll have some fun just you and me

(Bette this time raises and eye brow…)

Tina: Down girl don’t get any ideas

Bette: Not one?

Tina: Not even one

Bette: Ok well how about two then?

(Tina laughs)

Tina: You are so silly. Stop making me laugh my cheeks hurt

Bette: Sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you. Did I ever tell you that I’m a lover not a fighter?

(Tina laughs)

Tina: Stop behave

Bette: I am I just like making you laugh honestly. You have a beautiful smile

Tina: Do you use that line on all of your lady friends?

Bette: No just you and it’s only ever been you

(Tina kisses Bette and embraces her…)

Bette: Mmmm…I wish that we could stay like this forever

Tina: Me too but it’s getting late and I have to get back. I need to be in bed on time

Bette: Well can I call you?

Tina: Yeah you can call me. You better call me or I’ll have to come and look for you

Bette: Well come to think of it maybe I won’t call at all

(Tina laughs)

Tina: You are too much. I love you Bette

Bette: I love you too Tee

(Bette and Tina make their way out the house…Bette drops her off…She returns home to an empty house with a note on the front door…It was from Kit…She told Bette not to wait up and that she would see her tomorrow…Bette thought as to how it would have been a nice night for Tina to stay over…But sometimes you get what you get maybe it was a sign that it wasn’t the right time…She washes up and changes into her nightware before turning out the lights…She felt the spot where Tina had slept the night before…Her concentration breaks at the sound of her cell…)

RING! RING!

Bette: Bette Porter

Tina: I miss you

Bette: I miss you more

Tina: I just finished showering and now I’m in bed and before I went to sleep I just thought that I would call and let you know that you’re on my mind and I can’t wait to see you again

Bette: You’re on my mind too. I was just thinking about you when you called. Again you read my mind

(Both women yarn at the same time)

Bette: Sorry

Tina: Sorry

Bette: It’s ok but it’s getting late and you don’t wanna be late for your first day back at the job

Tina: Yeah I can hear my boss now breaking my ear drum

Bette: Ouch!

Tina: Ouch is the word to describe those moments

Bette: Well you get some sleep ms lady and I’ll call you or you can call me and we’ll catch up

Tina: Sounds good. Until we meet again but until then…I love you

Bette: I love you too Tee

Tina: Bye

Bette: Bye

(Bette ends the call…She puts her cell back on the night stand and cuts the lights back off…Before she had trouble even thinking about sleep…Now she closed her eyes in hope for the night to pass for her to see Tina all over again…)

TBC…
