Bette took Tina’s hand and led her to her room. She opened the door and let Tina see the room for herself. What Tina saw was a very orderly room – the bed was made and the duvet barely had a crease on it. The desk was clear apart from a laptop which was open but not on. They was a small A4 unit on the right of the desk -it held 3 drawers and was obviously were Bette stored various papers, a red and black glass held pens and highlighter pens.

“Did you tidy this room up especially for me ?”
“No”

“I tidy my room up when you come round”

Bette laughed “Hand me the ice cream and you can have a snoop around while I put the coffee machine on”

“Okay – come here first”

Bette walked across to take the small carrier that Tina was holding. Tina pulled her closer with the collar of the sports shirt Bette was wearing. They kissed again – short and sweet

“I better get this ice cream in the freezer “ Bette said smiling at Tina

“Can I mess things up while you are gone ?”

Bette raised an eyebrow “I think that’s unwise – in fact I KNOW its unwise”

“Okay “

Bette walked out and headed towards the kitchen her mind on why she hadn’t been able to stay in her pyjamas long enough to make Tina laugh. That was one quirk that even she hadn’t noticed until today – God was dating Tina going to be the catalyst for uncovering all kinds of weird obsessions that even she wasn’t aware of ? She put the ice cream away and busied herself set the coffee machine working. After five minutes she went back to her bedroom – Tina was looking in her wardrobe

“Are you always this nosey ?”
“Yes- you have some nice shirts – this one “ Tina removed a black silk one “ This lovely”

“I don’t have that much interest in clothes but my family buy clothes for me in the desperate hope that one day I might take my head from my books long enough to wear some of them “
“Well they have a point “

“I have started to get interested in clothes more than before “
“What started that ?”
“Wanting to impress you when we went shopping last week and when we went to the beach on Monday”
