The both of them chat on and off for the next 45 minutes, until it reached 10.30.

“Right, bedtime” Bette says as she switches off the TV.

‘Already?’ Tina thinks. “Ummm, bed time yeah” the blonde says wanting to stay up for longer. She picks herself up and walks to the hallway, turning to Bette, who has not moved.

“Ummm, are you not going to bed?” The confused blonde asks.

“No, I’m going to stay up for a bit and read. Night, night.” The cheeky brunette says putting on her reading glasses and reaching for her book, then looking up at Tina.

“Oooh, ummm yeah night”. The sweet blonde walks to her room, trying to process what just happened, she opens the door walks in and closes it. ‘Oh my god, I was just sent to bed. I’m 27 and I was just sent to bed, what the fuck.’

Bette on the other hand can’t stop laughing; she has her hand on her mouth trying to stifle the noise. The look in the blondes face was so cute, ‘I bet she is pissed now’ the brunette thinks. ‘Just wait until tomorrow morning then, my sweet…’

The alarms goes off at 7am, Bette wakes up with a smile. ‘Right Tina, this morning when you leave this house it will be walking, not sprinting and slamming the door as you have done the last two mornings’. Bette makes her way to Tina’s door, knocking, once, twice, three times. “T, Tina”. Silence, ‘Knock knock’.

A muffled “uhhhhh?” can be heard from inside.

“Wakey wakey, time to get up T” The amused brunette says heading back to her room for some yoga. 10 minutes later she hears no movement, so heads back to the sleepyhead’s room.

‘Knock, knock’ “T, are you up?” Silence. ‘Knock, knock’.

Another muffled “uhhhhh” can be heard.

“Are you dressed?” Bette asks through the door. Silence.

“T, are you wearing pyjama’s?”

A tired and angry “Yes!” is shouted back.

Bette giggles. “OK I’m coming in” The brunette walks in, seeing the blonde stretched out on her front, arms above her head. “Oh my god, how adorable does she look”. Bette walks straight up to the bed, takes hold of the duvet and in one tug pulls it clean off of Tina. The brunette walks to the hall, and drops the duvet in the bedroom doorway.

“What the fuck!” Tina shouts, pulling a pillow over her head.

“You’ve got until I put the coffee on and walk back, I don’t think you want to see what my next move is Tina.”

‘Oh my god, seriously where does she get off’ Tina thinks, in the biggest grump ever.

Two minutes later Bette has returned. Tina hears her at the door, and shouts from underneath the pillow. “I hate mornings!”

“I can see that.” Bette says leaning against the doorframe, thinking if she had her way Tina would be stripped naked by now and be over her knee for disobeying her twice already this morning. “I’m going to count to five. Five, four, three, two”

“Uhhhhh” Tina groans, rolls over, and sits up, putting her feet on the floor, eyes still closed.

“Open your eyes” Bette says.

Tina shakes her head, now starting to find this funny.

“T” Bette says lowering her voice, with more authority.

“T?”

“Yes, that’s your name now” Bette says smiling

“Oh, OK” Tina says smiling, and slowly opening her eyes.

“Can I trust that you’re not going to go back to sleep?”

Tina nods and stands up squeezing past Bette, “Soooo, is this my punishment then” she says walking down the hallway towards the bathroom, stopping and looking back.

Bette laughs. “Your punishment?” she says grinning and walking back past Tina into her room.  “No T.”

Tina gulps and then smiles. ‘What have I gotten myself in to’ She shakes her head, with a mischievous grin as she walks into the bathroom.
