The Roommates – 2nd Dimension: Chapter 24
Bette smiled. Yeah. Shes a walking nightmare for me. But Ill try and be on my best behavior.
Good for you , said Tina.
Melvins message had said Karen would meet them in the baggage claim area and as they drew nearer to this location, Bette tugged on her girlfriends hand, causing Tina to stop.
The bronzed young woman gave her lover an apologetic smile. Im sorry, T. I dont want my aunt to find out about us or anything. So, Im gonna have to not hold your hand. Do you hate me?
Tina smiled at Bettes honesty and shook her head softly, resisting the urge to pull her girlfriend into her arms and kiss away the pain and the doubt in those soft brown eyes. I could never hate you, babe. I understand. Just know that no matter what is going on, Im right here with you. If you need to talk or take a walk or anythingjust say the word and Im by your side. You get it?
I get it. Thank you, T.
No problem. You and me always, Bette. Remember that., said Tina.
Tears began to well up in Bettes eyes and her heart was full of love and contentment. She blinked away her emotions and said, You and me always, T.
The girlfriends separated and made their way down the escalator with Bette scanning the crowd for her aunt. She didnt see her at first pass so she and Tina made their way for their baggage claim and waited for their luggage to appear.
As they stood there, a slender middle-aged woman with shoulder-length strawberry blonde hair came up behind Bette and slid her arms around her body. Tina fought the urge to become angry at this embrace as she watched the look of total shock on her girlfriends body. Bette pulled away from this touch and quickly turned around.
The caramel beauty squinted into a pair of soft blue eyes and curiously asked, Aunt Karen?
In the flesh, Karen replied
Bette couldnt help but take in the jeans that were fraying around the ankles, the Birkenstocks, and the lavender tank top her mothers sister was wearing. What happened to the power suits and the heels? What happened to the woman she remembered?
II didnt recognize you., Bette stammered.
Yeah, I guess we should have warned you that Id be suit-less today. Its so good to see you, kiddo., she said.
Bette shot Tina a look that spoke volumes with no words.
Whos your friend?, asked Karen.
Ohthis is my ummthis is Tina. My roommate from school., said Bette.
Tina and Karen exchanged pleasantries and the three women stood making small talk until the bags arrived. When they made it to Karens late model dark blue Volvo, Bette was more than surprised when she went to place her suitcase in the trunk and came across the familiar yellow equal sign with a blue background that was posted on her aunts bumper. It was a bumper sticker for the HRC or Human Rights Campaign: the largest national *****, *****, bisexual and transgender advocacy organization in the country.
What the ***** is she doing with an HRC bumper sticker on her car?, Bette wondered.
Tinas soft amber orbs met Bettes curious dark brown pools and both women knew they were wondering the same thing. Bette decided to casually mention the bumper sticker on their ride to hospital, but her plans were foiled when Karen started discussing the gravity of her fathers medical condition. The bronzed beauty forgot all about the bumper sticker and she began to mentally prepare for what shed find when they reached UCSD Medical Center.

If Aunt Karen is “family”, then that means Bette and Tina can stay with her!!! I hope things go well during the time they are in town for the funeral. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Thanks…I hate to say it, but I never knew what the hell those bumper stickers were for…they never write what it is under it
Wow, what a way to wake up! A chapter from both stories. Thanks, MTS. Things seem to be looking up. I do believe Aunt Karen has switched teams, so hopefully Bette and Tina will have an ally.
