Tina placed her hand on her cheek partially hiding the blush as she watched Bette laugh. She truly was a beautiful vision. Every so often she would catch herself staring at her unable to contain the warm light of feelings she made her feel all over. “No, but seriously?” Bette nodded as she calmed down and found Tina’s very penetrating eyes. “I think, no I feel like the both of us would be very happy.”

“Thank you baby.” she said as Tina leant back and rested her back into Bette’s chest. She knew they needed to get back on the road but the feeling of being held by Bette just felt to good to be rushed. Thankfully by then she’d already called Bobbi and told her that they weren’t going to see her until later on that night. They sat on the rest stop‘s bench, holding onto each other watching the sun paint the skies with it’s daily farewell.

Bette drove the short distance to El Paso and woke Tina up to ask her which bar to head to. Tina groggily told which one to head to. They parked and Bette was a little mortified by the fact that Tina would even stop in a place like this clearly there was some very unsavory characters here. But Tina’s excitement about seeing Bobbi again made her dredge on through her apprehensions. Tina walked in and immediately her eyes found Bobbi. She rushed over to her and embraced her like she’d been away for years.

“My goodness look at you. The last time I seen you, you looked like you were about to head off to war. And now look at ya. All happy and smiling like a fat kid in a candy shop.” she turned her attention to Bette who was standing by watching the exchange. “Please forgive me for my manners ma’am, Bette?”

“Hello Bobbi Lee.”

“Would you two ladies like to join me on my break. Maybe have a couple of drinks?”

“That would be nice. I got some of momma’s food in the car if you’re hungry?”

“Please, when am I not hungry?”

“Ok I’ll be right back.” Tina started walking away and turned around and said “Bobbi why don’t y’all go up to the room and I’ll bring it up there.”
