“Thai.”
“Hmm?” Tina turned her head and glanced at Bette, who was steering the car towards her house. Towards…home?
“I don’t really feel like cooking. What if we order Thai for delivery?”
“Oh.” She addressed the queen of the back seat. “Do you want noodles, Angelica?”
“Yeah!” Followed by a drone of “Noodle, noodle, noodle,” continued at random intervals and for random numbers of repetition.
With the deciding vote cast, Tina put in a call to the place they’d use when they last resided together.
The whole day had been odd. In the morning, Bette left with Jodi. During the day work had spiraled into chaos finally landing in the twilight zone. Now, in the evening, she was heading back to Bette’s house. To stay, at Bette’s house.
This situation was what she asked for. For Bette to resolve things with Jodi. Now they were moving. And that was what she wanted, right?
Not wanting to think about how Bette might have spent her day, Tina called in their order. “We’ll beat it home, to your house.”
Bette flipped a quick glance towards Tina, then smiled. “Right.”
The rest of the ride home was primarily in quiet, aside from the backseat soliloquy. Tina stole occasional glances at Bette, while Bette was driving and could not do likewise at the same frequency.
When they pulled up at the house, Bette grabbed her things as Tina unloaded Angie, letting the girl run from the car to the front door, intercepting her other mother.
“Perhaps I should change the locks.”
Tina knew Bette well enough to know that the statement was more for her own musing than as a point of discussion. She would let Bette make that decision, especially as the state of their housing, even for tonight, was not yet set.
Then again, considering that their housing for the evening was not yet set, it did give Tina the idea for one task that she could do before dinner arrived. With that task in mind, she headed towards the back of the house.
“Tina?”
“Back here,” she responded.
In moments Bette was leaning on the doorjamb, a bemused look on her face. “You’re changing the sheets.”

What they need is a new bed! Thanks for this, Pseud. Always enjoy your one-offs.
lovely post. thanks, pseud.
I’m surprised T didn’t pitch the other pillow into the trash. ha ha :)
You have been busy. Thanks for the post, I hope to see a few more of these.
Loved it! Instead of the eternity spent on Bette and Jodi breaking up, I’d rather have seen something like this. Thank you for imagining what happened after so well!
That little noodle song of Anglelica’s reminded me that in one of John Waters’ early movies (16mm!), Pink Flamingos, there is a baby (born to a lesbian!) named Noodles, consistantly referred to as “Little Baby Noodles”. By no means was that the funniest or most outrageous thing about that movie. Not to everyone’s tastes, but REALLY funny. And even though it was made more than 30 years ago, still OUTRAGEOUS. Anyway, I can understand Tina’s discomfort. Sometimes the victory, besides being sweet, can be a reminder of all the costs that bought it.
I do hope this is not the last.
I think a new bed is definetly in order & new pillows a must.
Pseud, I hope there’s one of these after 512. I can’t trust I.C. to finish things up properly.
It’s me again. :-) Just because I want to beg and plead (and will happily buy you a drink) for a 2nd, 3rd, 4th installment. I agree with everyone! Burn the pillows and buy a new bed! LOL.
Just wanted to say..I don’t know what I enjoyed the most..the actual story or your author’s note! You are too funny! Love your one-offs..please don’t stop now. HAVE GAPS..NEED FILLER!!
Don’t retire the one off until the last episode is aired.I’d like to read about what happened to our couple after the finale. Please pretty please.
as always love your take on things. sorry im taken ;) they need a new mattress! hi fergz!! thx
Changing the sheets is a must until the new bed arrives. Or maybe it is time for the family to move to a new house and start fresh. :) I enjoyed this short story!
Yeah, they really need a new bed, new pillows, new sheets, hell I think they should get a new house so that they could start on a clean slate! If they’re not planning to move, then they should consider lighting some incense to exorcise in a figurative way all their bad memories in that room and the traces/memories of their other lovers who slept in that bed. Note to pseud: Thanks for this one-off and please keep your stories coming. :>
Thanks for another great post…. always enjoy them. Now, can I buy you a drink to .. get you to do more posts?
They need to buy new mTTRESS. The other one is tined. also new pillows.
Hey Psued, Awesome! Just love the little things that make Bette and Tina perfect for each other. Great to see Jodi’s presence being removed from this family home. The game with Angelica hiding under the covers was so cute and loving. Just a perfect moment for this reunited family. It is these little things that prove that Bette and Tina belong together. There is such a simply understanding between them. This commonality demonstrates their love. Brilliant. Can’t wait to read more of your wonderful words. Many, many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
So,…. do you come here often then? :) Seriously, that was really nice, but I hope Tina has evolved enough to not keep her feelings bottled up inside her, it’ll be bad for her and for Tibette and I cant take that! You should write more!!! please? if you do i’ll come up with a totally original chat-up line! :D
I caught up! You’ve been busy the last few days. Nice to have something to read upon my return, as there sure wasn’t much to that show last night. Thanks for the addition. Much more entertaining (and real) than Adelle magically becoming a director, or the tedium of the world’s longest breakup.
Pseud, could we have two-offs? Or three-offs? Really, please? This just leaves me wanting for more family interaction and reuniting scenes — you know, the really satisfying drama that we don’t ever see on the show because it seems to be focused on day long break-ups and reptilian assistants. The scene with Angelica was priceless. I love how Bette senses Tina’s conflict and wraps her arms around her — so reassuring. My romantic heart craves more…
very nice..I’m with Linbooks..get the new bed.
I agree new bed, new pillows, new sheets!!!LOL good for tina on changing everything…
New bed, new pillows. I’m wiht banana, way too much time was spent on the Bette and Jodi break-up. I mean, come on which part of were over didn’t she get.
how true, how true
Loved it psued, keep the one-offs coming. Enjoy them very much. PPS
keep posting those one-offs, they are great
YEAH I WOULDN’T SLEEP IN THE BED OR USE THE PILLOWS, PERHAPS THEY SHOULDA GONE TO T’S HOUSE…MAYBE T COULD STOP BEING SO NICE AND THROW A HISSY FIT!!1
