“Hi Kit, it’s me!” “Yes she’s fine, they both are.” “Uhuh, I don’t know, maybe later. Got to prepare for my first day at work!” “All right, I’ll drop by the Planet.” “Bye.” And Bette hung up the phone. She walked into the kitchen where Tina was setting the table. “So you got a new job?” she asked as she turned back to the counter to get the French toast. Bette sat down at the table and watched Tina. “Yeah I did, I start tomorrow.” “Congratulations!” Tina said as she put a plate in front of Bette and then, much to Bette’s surprise hugged her. “I’m really happy for you Bette. I hope it’s what you wanted.” Tina said as she remembered their conversations about Bette not finding a job that she really wanted to do. Bette also remembered those conversations; it was one of the reasons why she and Tina fought so much.

“I’ll be teaching art history at UCLA.” “Teaching?” Tina asked with a look of surprise on her face. “Well yeah, you know how I love to give speeches to people who are interested in art, so I figured teaching wouldn’t be so much different.” Bette said as she took a bite from her toast. “Ah yes, got to admit you were always good at giving speeches. God they were such a turn on.” Bette choked in her toast and started to couch loudly. Tina turned bright red as she realized what she had said. She put her hands to her face and asked, “Oh my God, did I really say that out loud?” When Bette had recovered she said, “Yeah you did. You never told me you got turned on by them!” “You couldn’t tell?” Tina asked her in return. Bette thought about it. “Well I remember that one time when we disappeared for almost an hour, and than the other time …” Tina turned even redder now. Bette also began to blush at those memories. They remained quiet for a while until Angelica let them know she was still there and she wanted attention!

Bette was taken back to reality by Angelica. She had been thinking about her and Tina. She looked at her as Tina gave her undivided attention to Angelica.  ‘God she’s beautiful!’ Bette thought. She didn’t notice Tina staring back at her thinking the exact same thing.
