Alice: What? No details? Come on you guys!

 

Bette and Tina laughed as they walked into their home with Angelica.

 

 

 

 

 

The Next Day…

 

 

 

 

Bette was up bright and early; getting herself prepared for her first day back to work since everything that had happened with Henry and Tina. Tina had officially moved back into their bedroom; they had spent the other day moving her things back into the room. Bette walked out of the bathroom in her robe after taking a shower. Tina was just waking up.

 

Tina: Morning Babe.

 

Bette: Good morning.

 

Bette leaned in and kissed Tina.

 

Tina: I’m going to miss you today.

 

Bette: I’m going to miss you too…both of you. But this job is more flexible than the one I had at the CAC, so I can come home at a reasonable hour and spend time with you and Angel before she has to go to bed.

 

Tina smiled.

 

Tina: Good; I’m glad.

 

Bette looked over at the clock. It was getting late.

 

Bette: I better finish getting ready.

 

Bette continued to get ready; while Tina got up and made coffee. Bette put on one of her black designer pant suites and finished with her hair and make up. She grabbed her laptop and briefcase. Tina and Angelica were in the kitchen. She kissed Angelica on the cheek.

 

Bette: Bye sweetie; I’ll see you later.

 

She then stood up and kissed Tina.

 

Bette: I’ll see you around 5:00.

 

Tina: Okay, have a good day babe.

 

Bette walked out the front door and got into her car; sad that she had to go back to work; but knew she had to sooner or later.

 

 

 

At The Art College…

 

 

 

 

Bette walked into her office; she was greeted by her secretary Lori.

 

Lori: Good morning Bette; its nice to see you back.

 

Bette: Good morning Lori; I hope things weren’t too hectic here without me.

 

Lori: A little; but it was nothing we couldn’t handle. Are things okay at home?

 

Bette: Things are better; thanks.

 

Bette sat down at her desk; going through some paperwork trying to get back into the swing of things.

 

 

 

 

At Bette and Tina’s…

 

 

 

Tina was cleaning up Angelica’s breakfast mess; while Angelica was in her playpen watching a kids show on TV. Shane knocked on the side door.

 

Shane: Hey.

 

Tina: Hey Shane come in.

 

Shane walked into the kitchen.

 

Tina: Coffee?

 

Shane: Yes please.

 

Tina took out tow cups from the cabinet.

 

Tina: So what are you up to today?

 

Shane: Well, I have a few clients; and Jenny is coming home today from New York; so I’m going to pick her up today from the airport.

 

Tina: Oh wow; that’s great. I wonder how things are going for her with the book.

 

Shane: From what she said; things are going good.

 

Tina placed a cup of coffee in front of Shane and sat down at the table with her.

 

Shane: So, I take it things went well the other night with Bette.

 

A smirk formed across Tina’s face.

 

Tina: Yeah; things couldn’t be better. In fact I think that…this is going to work. For the first time in awhile…Bette and I are opening up to one another again. I haven’t felt this sure about us in awhile. 

 

Shane: That’s good; I happy for you two.

 

 

 

 

 

Later that Day…

 

 

 

Bette left for lunch around noon. She walked over to a small restaurant not too far form her work. She took a seat at a table outside. The waiter came over and took her order. Bette was sipping on her water; until she heard a familiar voice.

 

Woman: Bette? Is that you?

 

Bette turned around; she was shocked to see who it was behind her.

 

Bette: Candace?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TBC…
