The next morning Tina got up extra early to do something special for Bette. She brought her breakfast in bed.

Tina: Baby wake up. Yesterday your return to work was a complete surprise so I couldnt do anything to celebrate. This morning I thought Id do something special.

Bette: (stretching) Oh for me how sweet are you? Come here and eat with me.

Tina: Okay but we both have to try to get use to getting back into our morning routine of getting ready.

Bette: Well I thought wed conserve time and water and shower together. (she flashed her sexiest smile)

Tina: (instantly aroused) Okay lets eat fast!

They quickly ate their fruit slices and bagels and cream cheese. Bette went to the bathroom first and did her sink routine brushed and flossed and turned on the shower and Tina quickly joined her. Tina loved just watching Bette. She appreciated her beauty she stepped back and just watched Bette for a few long seconds before she reached from behind Bette and fondled her breast tenderly at first and then she began to kiss her neck. She reached the spot she knew would get the reaction she wanted she kissed Bette behind her ear and Bette quickly turned around with desire in her eyes and devoured Tinas mouth. Bette somehow managed to then control the situation by entering Tina first but Tina regained some control as by some mutual unspoken agreement they pleasured one another muffling the cries of pleasure with hungry kisses. They probably didnt save time or water but they did gratify each other time and again.

They surprisingly had a few extra minutes and decided to stop by the Planet to see if the gang was there”they were. Shane saw Bette first and practically ran to her. Tina was starting to understand their relationship. Shane loved Bette and Bette loved Shane but the love was founded in friendship and nothing more. Tina appreciated the fact that Shane was such a sweetheart and yes she knew there was a hint of something more there too but she knew that above all else Shane respected Bettes marriage and Tina loved that about Shane. Shanes face literally lit up when she saw Bette and she pulled her into a bear hug. I know I just saw you yesterday but this is more like it, seeing you guys here in the morning this is like it should be. I MISSED THIS! Bette smiling, and holding onto Shane, Apparently so. Bette I have to tell you something come over here. Shane walked Bette towards a quiet corner.

Shane: I went out to MILK last night and she was there and she was of course stunning we were getting along well. Id like to see her again. Shes smart and funny, and shes somewhat of a beautiful mess and I kind of like that.
Bette: Okay wow, youre interested in someone. This is good.
Shane: Yeah, But shes really into all kinds of art so Id really like to take an earnest look into it.
Bette Who-Who?
Shane: Megan”Shes HOT, but I dont have to tell you, is this going to be weird for you?
Bette: Megan Freeman? Im not sure if shes a good match for you Shane.
Shane: Im not saying Im going to marry her but shes the first person Ive been excited about sincesince, well you.
Bette: Shane just be careful. I just want the absolute best for you and she may not be it.
Shane: The absolute best”is already taken.

Awkward, Awkward silence and deep penetrating gazes between these dear friends are filling this tight space. As if on cue Tina comes over Shane thanks for being there for Bette yesterday she really needed you. Im glad you were able to be there for her.

Shane: I wouldnt have had it any other way. Well Id better go.

Bette: Wait Shane look Im so sorry, just be careful, go slowly. Why dont you come by the CAC and let me give you an official tour and Ill lend you some good books too if youre interested in learning more about artwork. You can take a look at the photos I shot of T too when you get a chance.

Shane: Really Bette.

Bette: Really Shane

Shane: You really are the best. Thanks bye guys. Ill call you later.

Bette: Come here Shane. (Opening her arms”whispering)The ‘already taken’ comment are we okay?

Shane: (Going to hug Bette whispering in her ear) Bette YOU ARE THE BEST–Im sorry it got so intense a few minutes ago, really. Trust me Im happy youre happy no trouble from me. In other words, were more than okay.

Bette: smiling Okay then!

Tina: What was that about?

Bette: Shanes dating Megan and wants to learn more about artwork.

Tina: What? How?

Bette: They met in my office yesterday. T I dont like this at all. I kind of let Shane know that and it got a little weird there for a minute. I guess Ive got to support Shane though, you know?

Tina: Bette something tells me no one would be good enough for Shane in your eyes.

Bette: (Laughing) T you might be right about that. (More serious) I dont know Megans not a bad person. I just dont know if I trust her and Shanes too important to me for me to find out later that Megan shouldnt have been trusted.

Tina: I know. I know. Well tell her that tomorrow when you meet her.

Bette: I plan to T.

Bette and Tina walk over to a very cozy Dana and Alice so whats going on with you two?

Dana: Bette do you have a lot of experience breaking up with people. I need to let Tonya go I just dont know how. She hasnt done anything wrong and we are engaged so its bound to be ugly.

Bette: (coughing choking on her coffee) Well Dana Ive never broken an engagement but the point is you havent fully committed yet. Youre right she will be hurt but shed be even more hurt if you went through this half-heartedly. Talk to her directly dont beat around the bush but do it in front of people just in case she reacts violently. Id get the locks changed and the security codes changed to everything. Youre changing her life. She thinks shes going to be married to a hotshot tennis player in a few months when shes going to be alone and working. This has the potential to get very ugly. Dana that means you have to stick to your guns and do it now instead of going through with it. Because if you do go through with the commitment youre talking spousal support and dividing assets and it goes from ugly to nasty.

Dana: Wow Thanks Bette I needed that. Ill call a locksmith and Security Company, my attorney, and my accountant just to cover my basis. Ill plan to speak to her tomorrow shell be back in town tomorrow night shes visiting her brother now.

Alice looked at Dana and touched her hand Dana it will be okay. Bette glanced at Tina babe wed better go.

Ill see you tonight. I love you. Tina leaned in and kissed Bette and walked to her car. Bette ran back to Tinas car and tapped on her window and a startled Tina let her lowered her window.

Tina: Babe you okay?
Bette: Did you really mean diapers last night?
Tina: What?
Bette: T you know what I mean.
Tina: Absolutely Bette I want to have a lot of babies with you. I love you so much I cant describe so, soIdiapers
Bette leaned into Tinas car and looked deep into her brown eyes and then gave Tina a deep passionate kiss that aroused her so much she took Bettes hand and showed her just how turned on she was.
Bette: Ah T we dont have time.
Tina: I know, so please dont kiss me like that again unless you can do something about this.
Bette: I cant make that promise. T your mouth is too damn kissable.
Tina looked at the love of her life and couldnt be mad she just laughed.
Bette pecked Tina on the cheek and promised she would take care of Tina later.

Bette headed to the CAC and she wasnt sure if it was because of Tinas confession of diapers but babies and toddlers where everywhere. There were two at the CAC. Bette did know that was truly a rare occurrence she found herself watching them. She was looking through the museum for pieces she thought Shane would like most. She couldnt believe in a million years that Shane and Megan would hook up. It didnt seem right. She would have never picked Megan for Shane.

She noticed the blonde little girl toddler stick her finger into the dark haired gray- eyed little boys nose. One of the mothers squealed you can pick your nose and the other mother joined in and said, you can pick your friends and then they said in unison but you cant pick your friends nose. They were apparently together. They immediately pulled out antibacterial hand cleansers and tissues and kept giggling along with the kids.

Bette got a big kick out of the entire scene. The truth was she really wished for just once she could pick her friends friend she wouldnt pick Megan for Shane. Just then she felt she was being watched she looked up to see perhaps the most beautiful woman shed ever seen in her life. The woman was admittedly young but beautiful nonetheless”I could definitely she Shane with this Angelina Jolie look-a-like Bette thought to herself.
At first, the young lady averted her eyes she was still laughing at the toddlers nose picking routine and their mothers.

Bette walked towards the beautiful young lady
Bette: hello may I help you?
Young Beauty: No Im admiring the work here. I didnt expect a show too. The young lady said as she pointed to the toddlers.
Bette: Yeah they are cute
Young Beauty: They are adorable. Well I wont detain you Ms. Porter.
Bette turned her attention back towards the beautiful young Angelina Jolie look-alike who had disappeared. I didnt introduce myself to her how did she know my name? Bette walked throughout the rest of the CAC the young lady was gone.
