“I imagine myself going out
with my clients and it just bores me. I can’t help think… I’d rather
be out with you.”
“Oh.” Bette was still for a beat then her arms shot
out and captured Tina in an embrace. She wrapped even her legs around
Tina’s hips.
“Careful baby, you’re gonna fall!” Tina laughed when she felt Bette starting to slide forward.
“You’re going to catch me, aren’t you?”
“Definitely. I’ve got you.”
Breakfast was forgotten as the new lovers made full
use of a beautiful swath of sunlight on the kitchen counter, stripping
clothes off skin and basking in the heat of a lovely morning.
These words were on repeat in Tina’s head as she
drove Bette to the CAC. Bette was humming softly along to the song on
the radio. Her fingers were tapping its rhythm against Tina’s knee.
I wonder when I’ll be able to tell you. I wonder when you’ll tell me you feel the same way. Will you ever?
Tina stopped at a red light and took the opportunity
to look at Bette in the passenger seat. She smiled at how good Bette
looked in the simple cotton blouse and trousers that had been borrowed
from Tina’s closet. She savored the prospect of Bette’s scent lingering
on her clothes.
I need you to need me.
The sudden thought froze Tina. A honk from behind
spurred her to start driving the car forward, but her mind stalled. She
remembered something a social worker had once told her. The woman had
taken Tina aside as Tina’s mother was being escorted into a hospital
van. Tina was eighteen. After her mother was admitted to the hospital,
Tina had left for Los Angeles. She always thought it was because she
wanted to escape the memories of her childhood, but the sudden memory
of what the social worker said made her think again.
“Now that your mother won’t be needing you anymore, Tina, what do you plan to do with your life?”
Tina’s response was to run away to Los Angeles.
Tina was horrified at the implication of what she
had just realized. Did she really love Bette, or did she need Bette
just so someone would need her again?
“I love this song.” Bette interrupted her spiraling
horror by tapping her leg to get her attention and gifting her with a
heart-stopping smile. “Listen.”
