Bette looks to Katherine, not so sure.

“She can be incredibly stubborn, but I can see you’re more than capable of handling her. Her previous boyfriends were never strong enough.”

Bette just smiles, if only she knew the truth about what went on.

She notices Katherine raising an eyebrow and gesturing back towards Tina.

As Bette turns, Tina appears, taking her hand and beginning to walk.

“I changed my mind” Tina says nonchalantly

Bette and Katherine both grin at each other, instantly looking away when they feel Tina’s gaze.

Tina opens her mouth to attempt to defend her choice, but decides against it.

The meal goes well, as do the next 24 hours. Thankfully Bette and Katherine clicked as Tina hoped they would.

The blonde was still antagonizing Bette at every opportunity her mum’s back was turned. The both of them knew Tina would be in some serious trouble, but the blonde didn’t care. It amused her to see Bette squirm; however the brunette was trying to be as respectable as possible to Katherine’s presence.

Late that evening Katherine was packed up and ready to leave. Content that her daughter had now involved her in her new life and was truly thrilled that she had found someone like Bette.

“Katherine, I would like to have a quick chat with you, if you wouldn’t mind.” Bette gestures to the garden.

“Certainly Bette, lead the way”.

Minutes later Tina wanders down the hallway, searching for them both. She spots them through the doorway, embracing. ‘What the fu?’ “Hey, what’s going on?” Tina asks walking out towards them.

They quickly part, Tina’s mum looking a bit emotional.

“I’m just sad to be going so soon baby.” Katherine says reaching for Tina. “You will come and visit soon, the both of you won’t you?”

“Yes of course. Maybe at the end of next month?” Tina turns to Bette.

“Yes, that would work.” Bette nods, taking Tina’s hand.

“Fantastic, give me a ring when you have dates. Right well, I must hit the road” Katherine says heading back into the house.

Bette lets go of Tina’s hand, letting her walk ahead. She admires her cute girl’s figure, smirking sadistically as images flashed through her mind.

After a few more hugs, Mrs. Kennard finally departs leaving a waving Bette and Tina at the door. What she can’t see is the tight grip that Bette has on the scruff of Tina’s neck making sure the little shit doesn’t make a run for it as soon as the car pulls away.
