Yeah.

Just yeah? No yeah babe, or yeah hon. Ive upset her. You mad? I asked cautiously.

***Tina***

How should I react to what Bette just said? No.

But youre something.

Bette, what do you want me to say?

I guess I shouldnt have said that then.

No, no its not that you said it, its what you said.

I am not sorry for the way I feel, but Im sorry I actually said it now.

Baby, I sat up on the bed now facing my lover. How would you feel if you were in my shoes? I mean if I were to tell you that I would die without you?

Flattered I guess.

No Bette. Think about it. Really think about it.

She sat up to meet me. I could see that she was giving it some thought. Well, she started. I would be flattered at first, but I guess it would freak me out a bit. But it wouldnt be that bad, knowing you feel the same way I do.

I do feel the same. And the thought of you leaving me scares me, but I try not to think about it, my only consolation would be Angelica and Aiden.

It would be hard thats all. Anyway lets stop this, its depressing.

I kiss her. Hey you brought it up.

Goodnight T. She smiled.

I love you.

I love you too.

T?

Yeah?

That is kinda distracting.

Whats that babe? She asked, feigning ignorance to the fact that shes been caressing my *****.

I took her hand and placed it in my panties, allowing her to feel my now wet centre.

Morning came soon enough. Too soon for that matter. After our talk Bette and I made love for the better part of the night. Thank god we decided to stay home today.

We are taking Angelica to the psychologist today. I really, really hope he can pull her out of this dark place. I miss that smile, the twinkle in her eyes, I miss Angelica.

I stayed home while Bette took Aiden to school. She wanted to drop by the office for a few minutes before coming back home. She got home a little before ten with breakfast in hand. I had coffee earlier, and Angelica had cereal. I tried talking with her, didnt do too well there. I was reading the paper when Bette came home.
