“Eric.” Tina answered.
Dana’s brown eyes lit up with recognition. “Oh! Eric. The guy you were seeing before Bette.”
“Him,” Tina replied.
“Why’s he calling you?” asked Alice.
“I don’t know. He’s been calling for weeks. I just don’t want to hear what he has to say. I knew he’d try and come back at some point. I’ve got too much Bette on my brain to even think about talking to him. I figure he’ll get tired at some point and leave me alone.”
Alice eyed Tina curiously then and finally the blonde asked, “What is it, Al?”
Alice shrugged. “I don’t know, T. Didn’t you break his heart by shacking up with Porter?”
Before she realized it, Dana had answered. “No. He never even knew about Bette.”
“What? He still doesn’t know about Bette?” asked Alice.
Tina sighed. “No.”
“Well, what did you tell him when you broke up?” asked Alice.
“He actually broke up with me. He was trying to date this girl at his school. It’s all long and complicated. But the bottom line is….I want nothing to do with him. I would have thought he’d get the hint by now, but he just doesn’t seem to pick up that easy.”
They were all quiet for a moment when Alice broke the silence. “Is it he cute?” she asked.
On Sunday evening, Bette crawled into bed and called a most familiar number.
Tina’s voice oozed out from the West coast to the East coast and she said, “Bette, hey. I miss you. How are you?”
Bette smiled. She was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to curl up in her lover’s arms and be loved and caressed in the night. But she had to settle for the phone call. “I’m great, T. Just missing you like crazy. I already talked to my mom about it, I want us to figure out a good time for me to come and visit. I need to see you, T. It’s been a week and I’m going nuts. It’s good that I’m keeping busy. That way I don’t have to go insane missing you.”
“Aww, Sweetie. I’d love for you to come. The sooner the better. I’ll even split the ticket price with you. Hell, I’ll pay for it myself. I’ll even pay you to come.”
Bette chuckled and Tina smiled at the sound. “I love you, Bette.”
“I love you, too, T.”
“Are you all ready for your big day?” asked Tina.
“I am. I think I’m ready to ‘Evoke Astonishing’. You got my pics, right?”
Tina smiled even wider. “I did. You look worthy of a good ravishing. You’re beautiful, Bette.”
“And I’m all yours,” Bette replied.
And then she yawned. A deep yawn that dug down deep in her belly and made her toes uncurl.
“Babe, you need to get some sleep. You’ve got a long day tomorrow.”
“So do you, T. You start in the morning, just like me.”
“I know. But somehow, I think me working at Alphaville is going to be a little less stressful than you working for that crazy prima donna at The Met.”
Bette chuckled again. The “prima donna” term had been coined by her and it was funny to hear Tina use it.
“Baby, I love you. I’m going to check in on the tickets tomorrow.”
“Great. I want to talk to you all night, Bette. But I know you need your sleep.”
Bette sighed. “You’re right. I do. Call me when you get in tomorrow, okay?”
“Deal. I’ll call you then. Get some sleep, Beautiful. I love you.”
“Love you more, T.”
They blew each other phone kisses and said their good-byes three more times before it was truly the real thing. And as soon as she hung up, Tina sent Bette a text message telling her to check her email in the morning before she left.

Excellent update, MTS! Valerie was very honest with Bette about what was required to run a Art Museum and/or Gallery. That experience will always stay with her. A demanding and difficult person, can be the best teacher one can have in order to become more professional. We are glad that Tina could come to terms with her family. However, we doubt that their parents have grown enough to accept and understand T’s sexuality. Tina has always been too scared to tell their parents, because of old prejudices running at home. We certainly loved this chappy. PPS Lucero & Marsha – From Mexico City
sweet story. lets see what you have in store for them. thx
Hey MTS, I jumped into the first chapter of Pride & Prejudice and realized it was a continuation of Roommates and Roommates 2, so I went back and read all of the previous stories and am now caught up. I really like this series of stories and am looking forward to your upcoming posts. jinjur
The “Prima Donna” is gonna run Bette around in circles. I can’t wait to read about their adventures in interning. But most of all I can’t wait until Bette goes to visit Tina. :)
I hope that Bette survives the Met and that Tina survives the summer without her love. I am not a drama person so I hope that the summer is pretty painless.
Thanks for posting. I really thought Tina’s parents were going to figure out what was going with her and Bette. Loving the internships and where you are headed with setting up the next part of the story.
Good to see that Tina chilled abit and gave her parents (and herself) to enjoy her homecoming. So I’m guessing this art lady will be the model for the power lesbian that Ms. Porter will one day become. Thanks for another great update MTS. Keep the post coming….How long before Bette and Tina are in the same time zone again?
I have just caught up on all your chapters. They are great! PPS :)
Thanks for the update. May I say tis going pretty calm despite the little frictions. Is this the calm before the store kinda thing? :)
HEY MTS, Sweet to see Tina reconnect with her parents agaion. I think she needs to tell them the truth and unburdon herself. They love her and I am sure it will be a shock to them initially, Tina is still their child and they will do all htat they can to protect and love her. Seeing the difference that Bette has made it her life can only convince them of the love between these gals. How it has completed them. As for Bette, she has a tough challenge in working with the crazy prima donna fro the Met. I do think this will be the making of her professionally. It is strange to think of Bette as anything other than “astounding”. Okay a little polish might be needed to reveal her sparkle and cute to have Bette and her Mom bonding over the femimine pursuits of shopping and pampering. The best bit was Bette and Tina’s phoen conversation which only increased their need to be in each other’s arms once more and enjoy the physicality of their realtionship. Can’t wait for theor reunion. It will be so adorable and sexy. Please continue this awesoem adventure soon. Many, many thanks fro all that you write and share. Your Loyal Fan. XOXO
they r so sweet; but what trouble is Al gonna cause? Is she gonna date Eric? thereby letting him in on T’s secret life then he’ll spring her to her parents so ruining T’s chance of an education when her parents cut her off??? Damn it Alice, get a brain not stoned!!! pps
