“I don’t think so, at least for now. Everything was solved. And you? How was your week? And how is doing the preparative to the opening?”

            “It has been a busy week, but everything is going according it was planned. It’s almost done now. We need just wait the last pieces to arrive and in the middle of the next week to arrange the pieces in the gallery.”

            “Good.”

            “I missed you this week.”

            “I missed you too.”

            “And I have really enjoyed our time together.”

            “Me too.”

            “Listen Tina, I know patience it’s not a virtue of mine, but I think we already pussy-footed around this subject enough time. I’m trying to be patient and understanding, and really follow your pace, yet it’s difficult sometimes, because I’m used to get and solve everything in my life faster but it’s okay I just need to know that I’m not wasting my time well not properly waste because it’s always a pleasure to be with you but to know that you want this as much as I do because I’m sure of my feelings, but not sure about yours if you can understand my point.”

            “Yes, I can. I’m sorry if I sounded like I was unsure about my feelings for you. The fact that I’m not ready to be identified as a lesbian, or to be out and proud about our relationship it doesn’t means I’m denying my feelings for you I love you this time away showed me how much I care about you, how much you mean to me. But I’m really afraid.”

            “It’s always difficult to assume a thing like this I have my share of difficulties too back in college. I always knew I was a lesbian, but I was so afraid of my father’s reaction that I spent the whole high school misleading myself. I used to date boys, I even slept with some of them, and I kept making excuses for the crushes I had in girlsI was miserably unhappy emotionally yet I was a good student, I was popular, life seemed so perfect “
