"I agree with you. It does feel pure and I’m a little nervous."

"Why? Are you having second thoughts?"

"No, Tina. I’m talking about sex. You know, making love."

Tina smiles at the thought and wonders how it would be. It’s been so long since she has seen Bette naked. The thought has crossed her mind a couple of times. But, she cast it out fast, with being grateful that she and Bette were friends and not enemies. “Do, you honestly think we’re ready? I personally on the other hand don’t think we…” She gazes over at Bette.

“What?” Bette replies, locking her fingers tighter around Tina’s.

“We’d have time to get around to that. You’re a busy woman and so am I.”

“Bullshit…” Bette says, covering her mouth simultaneously. She made a vow to watch what she says in front of the baby. She would hate for Angie to repeat her own words at such a young age. “Like we made time today, we could make time any other day,” Bette adds not letting her off the hook.

Tina’s face blushed beet red. She knew her wife was right and eventually they would have to come across that bridge sometime. Whether it was today, tomorrow, it was bound to happen point blank. The question Tina had was where could it happen? And would they get caught like they did the time when Bette was working at the CAC and James came busting in on them. After all those years she thought she’d forget, but never came close to tossing that reminder out the window. Sorry, ain’t gonna happen.

“So, what was it that you wanted to talk about?” Tina asked, changing the subject.

“Moving back in together,” Bette replies, turning the corner. Tina’s house was a block and a half down the street. “What do you think about that?”

“I actually like the idea. I mean, we’re married and we have a child together and I see no need to have two separate locations.”

“Great,” Bette replies with a wider smile. She was pleased that Tina made her decision easier that what she’s been practicing to herself in the mirror. The news made her day and seeing Tina and her daughter made her day even better.
