“Yeah, let’s go to bed.” she said turning off the lamp taking Bette’s hand and heading towards what was now a luxurious section for their bedroom. Tina put her glasses on the nightstand and pulled her hair loose from the hair pin she used to keep her hair from falling in her face when she worked. Bette turned down the covers and waited for Tina to finish running her fingers through her hair. She loved to watch Tina do this, Tina always closed her eyes when she did this almost as if she was massaging her own scalp and becoming aroused by it. Bette sat up on one elbow and held open the comforters as Tina climbed in, like a routine she turned into Bette and tucked herself into her, Bette wrapped her arm around her and rested her head close to Tina’s. Bette was just about to fall asleep when Tina spoke softly to her.

“Baby?”

“Mhh?”

“Can you call me before you book your flight?”

“Ok.” she sleepily replied.

Bette was taking a break from the studio and decided to take a look at the flights leaving from Philadelphia International straight to LAX, even though she knew that would be impossible. She saw a couple of flights leaving late in the afternoon on Tuesday, she thought those would be best, that way she could have lunch with Tina and they could say their goodbyes. As she was thinking about the inevitable layover she would have in Dallas, she remembered to call Tina before she booked her flight.

“Tina Kennard speaking.”

“Ms. Tina Kennard? May I please speak to my girlfriend?”

“Yes ma’am, how may I help you gorgeous?” Tina said in a very deep southern voice.

“Well some beautiful blonde I slept with last night told me to call her before I booked my flight, so I’m just following orders.”

“Well it’s good to know you can be tamed so easily.” Tina said laughing into the receiver.

“Shut up.” Bette said smilingly, “What’s up baby?”

“I’m so glad you remembered to call because I was just getting ready to call you about that. Don’t book the flight, I’ve found you something much better.”
