“I’ve missed you.” She says as she grabs a towel and dries up her hands. She then walks over and put her arms around Bette’s neck and kisses her deeply.

“I’ve missed you too.” Bette managed to say between kisses. Then Tina pulls her into a hug.

“How was your trip?” Tina asks as she lets go and starts getting the topping out of the fridge.

“It was boring at times, but all over a good trip. Do you need my help?” Bette asks.

“No, it’s okay. You just sit and relax.” Tina says and smiles.

“Okay. So, did you get a lot of school work done this week?” Bette asks.

“Yeah, me and Josh got a lot done. He also confessed something to me… After I confessed something to him though.” Tina says.

“What?” Bette asks curiously.

“He’s gay too. He’s been together with this Kevin for almost 8 months. I was shocked.” Tina says as she eases the pizza sauce onto the dough.

“Really? I didn’t see that coming. He seemed very… manly… When I talked to him.” Bette says.

“Yeah, me too. He’s been terrified to tell his friends, in case they’ll turn their backs on him… It’s sad. I fear the same with mom and dad.” Tina says and looks up and over at Bette.

“You don’t think your parents will approve?” Bette asks a little concerned.

“No, at least not at first. Maybe they’ll come around later but, I’m afraid they’ll stop talking to me. I think that’s the reason I’ve been denying it to myself for so many years. I don’t want to loos them in my life.” Tina says as she put on the ham and cheese. Bette stands up and walks over to her and softly strokes her back.

“They’ll be okay with it. They’ll love me right?” Bette says and smiles as she tries to lighten the mood.

“They will. Mom loves art so…” Tina says as the door bell goes off. “They’re here. You ready for them?” Tina asks as she gives Bette a deep kiss, that almost knocked her off her feet.

“What was that for?” Bette asks.

“It might be a while till we can do that again.” Tina says and cocks her head to the side and turn around, heading for the door. She opens and sees her brother and sister standing there. She pulls them both into a hug.
