Bette’s father gave her the best he could, but yet she always felt her family wasn’t complete and that’s why she wants us to have our own children – she always has to take care of somebody, be around somebody and show them her affection and love. I’m sure Bette would be the perfect mother and I can already picture her telling everybody that our child is the best.  

It’s time to leave and I pack my case, stuffing all the work papers into it and a new script I got delivered earlier today. I go out of the building and what I see right in front of me is Bette sitting on her car and eagerly waiting for me.

“Hey, babe, what are you doing here?”

We hug and she kisses me right in front of everyone, her hands are feeling my back and I literally melt into her before we part our lips.

“I missed you today,” she says.

“I can see it,” I chuckle. “I missed you, too. How was the presentation?”

“It was great and you know what, T? I got a new assistant now.”

“You do?”

“Yeah. Apparently, Franklin thought of me for some hidden reason and hired me James, who starts working with me tomorrow.”

“Well, it’s good, no? This way you won’t be working too hard.”

“Yeah.”

I walk around and we both sit into the car.

“And he’s this sweet young guy, who’s really willing to work with us and with me, in particular,” Bette continues. “I’m actually willing to find out what it’s like to work with him. I find myself strangely intrigued.”

She starts the engine.

“Wow, Bette! You surprise me every day.”

“Come on, Tina. I actually think he might be gay, and being intrigued by him means I’m interested to see how he handles this job.”

“Yeah, right!”

“Tina!” She gives me a half amused, half serious look. “You know there’s absolutely nobody I want to be with except you.”

“I know, babe.” I touch her face as she drives. “I know.”

“I was thinking of going to The Planet tonight. Alice called me and said she, Dana, Shane would be there and asked if we’d like to join them.”
