“Listen, Tina, you don’t have to do anything.”
“Yes I do! Your grip on me is loose and you’d sooner let go than hold on.”
“Erm, no it’s not.”
“What do you mean it’s not?! You won’t even go to
Milk with me! You don’t even want to be seen in public with me!”
“Tina, if I did something or said something that
gave you that idea, I am so sorry.” Bette sighed deeply and mentally
kicked herself in the *****. “You’re partly right, about me caring about
what people think. The truth is, I’m afraid that they’ll wonder why
you’re even with me. I mean, look, I’m not ‘all that’. I’m not even all
there!” Bette laughed, trying for humor. When Tina smiled a bit, Bette
was encouraged.
“I feel… I feel something strange when I’m with
you. I don’t know what it is. I hope you don’t ask me what it is. I’ll
probably say something that sounds suspiciously like my foot finding a
home in my mouth. I don’t know why I think about you all the time. And
everytime I can’t believe I can see you when I do, that I can kiss you
when I do, that I have slept with you like I did. It’s one of those
inexplicable things, like… like sunset.”
“Sunsets are nice.” Tina said after a lull in Bette’s impassioned speech.
“I love sunsets.” Bette spoke before she thought,
and when she heard the words, she sprung up straight in her seat. She
stared in horror at Tina, afraid of what Tina would think.
“I love sunsets too.” Tina smiled wistfully. Bette
was a little relieved that Tina didn’t seem to put more weight in her
statement. She spoke quickly, trying to cover. “Yeah, yeah, sunsets are
beautiful and so… evocative and lush and… unbelievable.”
“They’re mysterious and fathomless. I love sunsets very much, Bette.”
They were quiet for a long minute. Bette reeled from
her declaration, pretty sure she loved more than the sunset but
unwilling to actually admit it. Tina just sat and stared out at the
parking lot, seemingly lost in thought.
“So, do you feel like Vietnamese tonight? There’s
one about two blocks from Milk. I heard they make pretty good beef
stew.” Tina turned to Bette. Bette was relieved to see the strange but
unbearably compelling light back in Tina’s eyes.
“Yes, I’d really like something spicy for dinner tonight.”
“Maybe for dessert too?”
“Oh definitely.”
Tina chuckled and started the car. She slowly pulled
away from the CAC parking lot. After a minute, she reached over to
Bette and took her hand. Bette glanced down at their clasped hands and
lifted Tina’s to her lips.
“I… love you.” Bette mumbled silently into the silky skin of Tina’s knuckles.
