Bette was snapped into reality from her day dream of Tina, by the sound of Alex splashing the water at her.  Alex had become the love of her life through an accident really.  Although they have only been together about ten months now Bette could not imagine life without her.  Alex has shown Bette was life is really all about even in her darkest days when she wanted to give up.  She was Bette’s shining light.  Bette prayed every day about how lucky she was to have Alex.

Alex in her soothing voice gently asked “Bette can we go to the Zoo today, please?.”  Bette with a smile answered “of course we can honey”.

“Tina, we have only an hour left to get this edited do you think we can make it?” asked Oscar. 

“Of course we can – I do all my best work under pressure” Tina said with a playful smile. 

There were just editing a piece for KPWX’s local resident DJ Alice Piesecki.  Alice was renowned for her exhilarating interviews with the most update famous celebs in town and tonight was no different.  Earlier on in the week Alice managed to score an interview with the most sought after woman in the world – Angelina Jolie.  Ms Jolie had been in town promoting her latest movie.  Now Tina and Oscar were working on the piece to get it ready for Alice‘s live show in an hour’s time.

“She really is a stunning beauty and that voice of hers mmmm what I wouldn’t do to spend a night with her – what d’ya reckon Tina???”  Asked Oscar.

Tina blushed responded ” Ya huh if you’re into that kinda thing, anyway Oscar come only five more minutes then it’s home time”  Tina quickly changed the subject as she didn’t want Oscar to realise that’s exactly what was going through her mind also.

“Hey Tina, you fancy grabbing a bite to eat after?” asked Oscar.  Since Tina had started working in the radio station he had tried several times to get Tina out on her own but to no avail.  Even his latest attempt had failed. 

“Mmm Oscar not tonight, just gonna go home and have a nice long hot relaxing bath.  It’s time for some Tina Time.  You know what I mean?”

“Sure” he half heartedly retorted.  “God I wouldn’t mind some Tina time too” he thought.  He sighed and said to himself “well an office romance wouldn’t work anyway I guess”.

They wrapped things up and headed home for the evening.  Tina went home to have a long hard think about what’s been happening in these past few months and why was Bette having such an affect on her.

In the meantime across town, Bette was watching a sleepful Alex.  She wrapped her arms around her sleeping beauty and tried to settle down and get some sleep too.  She knew like every other night that it wouldn’t be too long till she was awake again comforting Alex, but this was the promise she had made to Kit and she wasn’t going to let Kit down.
