“So, about the move to Los Angeles. About the house buying thing.” Tina starts.

“I am going to buy a house Tina. I won’t wait until next year…” Bette starts.

“I know Bette, can I finish what I started on?… Please?” Tina says with a small smile.

“Sorry, go ahead.” Bette replies.

Tina leans over and takes Bette’s hands in hers and softly caressed them.

“I was just being selfish, and perhaps a little nervous and jealous and a lot more.” Tina starts.

“Why?” Bette asks softly.

“Well, when you mentioned that you would be spending a lot of time there the coming year, I guess I freaked a little.” Tina says.

“There’s no need to get jealous or nervous or anything like that.” Bette says.

“I know that, I know that we’re solid and honest and very much in love with each other, but I just couldn’t help feeling that you spending so much time there, would meet someone else and… I know it’s stupid, but that’s how I felt just when you told me you were thinking of buying a house there. And also the possibility of you spending a lot more time there than the week each month you first mentioned.” Tina says.

“First of all. I’m not going to cheat on you, not now, not ever, that will never happen, secondly, I will not spend a minute more than a week each month. A week will be the absolute maximum time away from you I could bare. You should know by now that I’m crazy about you.” Bette says with a loving smile.

“I know, it was just my first reaction about being away from you. I’m sorry.” Tina says.

“It’s okay. And besides, I’m not buying it alone. You’re gonna help my pick a house. I won’t do it alone. It will be your house too you know.” Bette says.

“Thank you.” Tina replies as she leans over and kisses Bette.

The food arrived and they digs in.

“Mmmm, this is good.” Tina says about the Chicken Panini she ordered. Bette smiles as she takes a bite of her tuna sandwich.

“This too.” She replies. “There’s something I want to ask you.” She says.

“Sure, what is it?” Tina asks.
