Taken place 6 months into the dating.

Bette woke up early in the morning, Tina was still asleep. She loved to watch her sleep. She is so beautiful Bette thought to herself. Bette knew she loved Tina, but she still had not told her. If they were not at Bettes apartment, then they were at Tinas. They spent most nights together. Alice and Tina had gotten to be great friends. Bette loved that they got along so well. Marina had bought the coffee shop, and named it the Planet. It quickly became their hangout. Bette leaned over to kiss Tina, and removed herself from the bed to take a shower and get ready to go to work. Her gallery was doing great, but the CAC was actively pursuing her, and it was quickly becoming tempting. The money itself doubled and Bette longed to be the director of a large museum. She thought to herself I need to talk to Tina about this seriously Bette saw Tina stirring.

Tina: (yawning) Good morning baby

Bette: good morning baby, did you sleep well?

Tina: always in your armsI love you Bette Porter.

Bette: thank you Tinathank you very much.

Tina was used to the response by now, and she smiled at Bette, she understood Bettes fears of commitment. She vowed patience and with Bette it was easy, she showed Tina love in so many other ways. She knew when Bette told her she loved her it would be forever. That meant everything to Tina.

Bette: T, I was hoping we could go out tonight, and talk, I have somethings I want to discuss with youyou could come to my place, we could order in and just talk. Does that work for you?

Tina: of courseI will come by after work. You want me to pick up something?

Bette: yes that would be greatsay about 7 pm?

Tina: perfect

They got up and showered togetherand went their separate ways to begin their day.
