Chapter 15

A few days later. Bette decided to stay at the summerhouse the rest of the week. She really needed a break from everything, she called Tina when she decided.
“Hey T, it´s me.” Bette says.
“Bette, hi, how are you? I´ve missed you.” Tina says.
“I´ve missed you too T. I´m good though, I´m getting there.” Bette replies.
“That´s good babe.” Tina says and smiles to herself.
Bette smiled too when she heard Tina called her babe.
“So, emotionally, where are you exactly?” Tina asks softly.
“I wrote a letter. Saying goodbye.” Bette simply said.
“Good, get it out, that way is perhaps the best way… How long are you staying there?” Tina asks.
“It´s been years since my last vacation. I think I´m gonna stay here till the end of the week. I still feel like being alone, clean out my thoughts. It was a really emotional day the other day.” Bette says.
“Sure, take your time babe, I´ll be here when you get back. And a few extra days will do you good. get some good rest and good sleep.” Tina says.
“Yeah, that´s what I thought. I´ll miss you though. I can´t wait till I get back.” Bette says and smiles.
“Me either, but take your time, we have enough time, so don´t worry.” Tina says to reassure Bette.
“Good… Are you at school now?” Bette asks, changing to subject.
“Yeah, were putting together the finishing touches to out storyboard. We´re filming all day tomorrow at the City Hall Subway station. A short documentary about a local graffiti artist, that has gotten a job of decorating some of the walls at the station. He´s just 20 years old.
We´re following him all day. Should be a fun day.” Tina says.
“Oh, yeah, that sounds like fun. I have to go see, when I get back. Maybe sign him for a show at the gallery.” Bette says.
“Yeah, I´ll take you there next week, when you´re back.” Tina says.
“I´ll like that.” Bette replies. “I should let you go. I just wanted to hear your voice and to tell you that I´ll be back this weekend.” Bette says.
“I´ll be home, waiting.” Tina replies. “Love you, be careful.” Tina says.
“Love you too, and you too be careful.” Bette says.
They both hang up the phone.

The next day, Tina and her group, were getting ready to leave for City Hall station. They packed the last equipments into the van. Josh jumped into the drivers seat and the rest into the backseat and front seat. They were 4 of them. Tina´s cell rang on the drive there.
“Hello?” She answers.
“Tina, hey, it´s me Dana. How are you?” Dana asks.
“Dana, hi. I´m good. On my way to a shooting, right now. We´re filming on City Hall Station, a short documentary about a young graffiti artist.” Tina says.
“Oh, you are, I´ll let you go then.” Dana says.
“No, I have a few minutes. Still about 10 minutes before we´re there.” Tina says and smiles. “So, how are you? Been a while.” She adds.
“Yeah, sorry about that. Been really busy with school. What about you? Still hanging out with miss gallery owner?” Dana asks.
“Her name is Bette. And yes, were still very much together. I´m in love, is more correctly.” Tina says and smiles.
“Wow, that serious. I´m happy for you Tina.” Dana says.
“Thanks. She´s at her summer house this week. Working through some things. Trying to let go of her late wife and child. She´s getting back this weekend.” Tina says.
“Wow. Seems like you two are getting serious?” Dana asks.
“Yeah, we are. I´ve found my soulmate Dana, I can´t describe it really. She´s just… Great. I love her.” Tina says and smiles. She looks over at Josh, who is all smiles. She ignores him and concentrates on Dana.
“What about you and Alice?” Tina asks.
“Still great there too. That´s also the reason I´m calling. Me and Alice are leaving on the red eye tonight. I´m taking Alice home with me, to meet my parents. And I thought that we would spend some time with you and Bette in the city too.” Dana says.
“Wow, really? Yeah. I´m home all weekend, all I have planned, is spending it with Bette, but you too are off course welcome to join us. I´ve missed you so much Dana.” Tina says.
“We´ll love to join you. Alice tells me that she misses Bette too, so, this is a win win situation. And I´ve missed you too Tina. We arrive tonight and will stay at my parents until Saturday, then well head up to you guys on Saturday and stay there until Wednesday I think. We both have a week off from school. Plain tickets back on Wednesday evening.” Dana says.
“Okay, lucky you. Actually I have Monday off and half of Tuesday. So we´re able to spend some time together.” Tina replies.
“That´s great. I´ll let you go. I´ll call again tonight. Talk to you soon. Love ya.” Dana says and smiles.
“Yeah, love ya too, bye.” Tina says as they both hang up. She closes the phone and put it into her pocket. She looks over at Josh, who still has a smirk on his face.
“What?” Tina asks.
“You´re in love.” He says.
She smiles and turns her head out towards the road.
“Yeah, completely.” Tina replies.
“That´s great.” He says.
“Guys, we´re here. Let´s park the car.” Daniel shouts from the back.
