“Hey.” Tina said, sounding quite shy.

“Hi.” Bette greeted back. Dana glared at Alice, letting her know to shut up. She knew that otherwise, the blonde would tease the hell out of them.

“How are you, Bette?” Elijah wanted to know.

“I’m good.” Bette said.

“How was your date with my mother yesterday?” He asked with a smile.

Tina’s eyes grew big while Bette began to stutter but finally managed to say that “It was nice.”

“Good.” Elijah told her and then looked at his best friend and they winked at each other. They loved doing that to their mothers.

Alice and Dana smiled at the cuteness that was Bette and Tina right now, both blushing and looking embarrassed.

“I’m going to order some breakfast.” Bette said.

“Uhm, we also haven’t ordered yet. I’ll go with you.” Tina smiled and together they made their way to the counter. There was a short line in front of them.

“You have already ordered, haven’t you?” Bette said to Tina who chuckled.

“Yeah, I did. Just needed an excuse to be with you.” Tina had a flirty look on her face and Bette couldn’t help but bite her lip and look away, knowing she would begin to blush soon. Finally they could order, well, Bette ordered. They walked to the table and Tina whispered to Bette: “If the kids weren’t sitting over there, I would kiss you.” And then walked faster and sat down. Bette had this silly grin on her face and sat down to.

The breakfast continued with Alice talking and most of them listening. Bette and Tina didn’t really care because they were too busy reveling in the feeling of their hands joined together under the table, where no one could see. Elijah and Sterling were sitting at the table, talking and laughing, ignoring all the adults. Dana was listening to Alice but also trying to entertain Jolene who felt a little bit left out.

The breakfast ended when Tina saw it was time for Elijah to go to his tennis. They had finally found a club for disabled youth to play sports and the boy was really looking forward to it.

When Bette and her kids were sitting in the car, driving home, Sterling spoke up.
