    Reflections


    "I was destined to be here for a lot of reasons Bette," Tina replied. "It might be time for my family to be made aware of why I belong here." Tina lifted her hand and ran her fingertips down Bette’s cheek.

    "Let’s go to bed, Tee," Bette said quietly. "I’m going to make you glad you moved to L.A."

    ************

    "Great to talk to you too," Tina replied into the phone. "You know how much I look forward to our Sunday talks. I wanted to tell you I ran into John yesterday as well, but I guess you already knew that."

    The conversation was continued from the other end of the line as Bette absent-mindedly let her hand wander from its position on Tina’s foot to up her calf. She flipped the pages of the catalogue with her free hand, while Tina’s squirming under her touch acted as a reminder to keep it innocent while she was on the phone to her mother.

    "No, that does sound great," Tina said, not sounding very convincing. "I’d love to have you visit. I’m just surprised; you’ve never expressed any interest in coming out here before."

    The direction of the conversation caught Bette’s attention and she started to listen more intently to Tina’s side.

    "Yes, you will," Tina said. Her speech always became a bit rushed when she was nervous. "As long as she’s not away on business of course you’ll get to meet Bette."

    "Okay, well let me know when you have more of the details worked out next Sunday, okay? Love you too. Bye."

    She hung up the phone and looked at Bette.

    "I think the time of living in denial to my parents is about to come to an end," Tina said simply.

    "When are they planning on visiting?" Bette asked.

    "Next month," Tina replied. "I don’t even have time to change jobs and move to a different state."

    "Don’t be so dramatic," Bette said chuckling, again working her fingertips back up Tina’s calf. "What makes you think they’re going to take it poorly?"

    "Parental expectations dashed?" Tina offered with a questioning tone. "Grow up, go to college, get married, and give them grandbabies to spoil. That’s my job."

    "You can still do all those things," Bette said. "Just with a bit of a twist, that’s all."

    "Hard not to be nervous," Tina said. "I feel like I live in a bubble. West Hollywood. Working in the entertainment industry. Boss is gay. It’s different in the South, you know. Small town folk don’t appreciate the liberal attitudes of New York and Los Angeles. They think we’re setting ourselves up for another Sodom and Gomorrah." Tina affected a bit more of her Southern accent when she started talking about home.

    "Tee, you know what it does to me when you get that Southern accent going," Bette’s hand wandered ever higher, past Tina’s knee and onto her thigh. "And I’ll take being struck by lightning if I get to be making love to you when it happens." She reached for the top of Tina’s shorts to unfasten the button.

    Tina’s hand stopped Bette’s progress.

    "Not tonight, Bette," Tina said. "I’m really nervous about this visit."

    Bette relented in her pursuit of removing any clothing, and let her hand wander back down Tina’s leg.

    "Does that mean an imposed period of celibacy until your parents leave?" Bette asked, with a pouty look on her face.

    "No, that’s not what it means," Tina replied, smiling in spite of herself. "Just not this minute, okay?"

    "Are they going to stay here?"

    "They’re planning to stay at a hotel, because they know we only have two bedrooms. And of course, they think we take up both of them."

    "Wouldn’t you rather tell them over the phone, than when they’re here?" Bette asked.

    "I’d rather not tell them at all," Tina replied. "But I can’t let it go forever. I feel like I’m hiding myself, and worse that I’m hiding you."

    "The timing is a little suspect," Bette said. "Do you think our running into John had anything to do with this impromptu visit?"

    "Quite possibly," Tina agreed. "But regardless of what brought this visit on, I’m ready. It’s time to tell my family."
