Tina looking shocked, surprised and overwhelmed jumped up throwing her arms around Bette shouting “Yes Yes Yes I Love you so much!” then planting a passionate kiss on the gorgeous lips she had become so used to.

All the friend clapped and cheered and congratulated them. When Alice piped up “Hey Porter where is the ring?”

Before Bette could answer Cody stood up “I can answer that for Bette.” She paused for a moment before continuing “ Me and Bette have a confession” This got everyone’s attention “ We have been secretly planning this evening for a few weeks. When Bette emailed me asking my permission to marry my sister, I agreed on one condition”

“What was that?” Tina asked puzzled

“Well not only was it for me to be present but I also wanted to supply the ring!” Cody continued looking at Tina who was looking more puzzled

Cody turned to face the table and told them how they had lost their parents in a car accident and when she was going threw the family papers came across a family air lume, which was to be given to the first daughter to get married.

Cody returned her gaze to Bette and Tina and pulled a small box out of her pocket and handed it to Bette.

“Tina as you are the first daughter to get married Bette has agreed that this family air lume will be your engagement ring” Cody nodded to Bette to present Tina the stunning diamond ring that had been passed down generations of the Kennard family. “It was mom’s” Cody added. Tears began to run down Tina’s face as she turned to Cody giving her a hug and whispering “I miss them, I wish they were here to see this” Cody had tears falling down her cheeks to and replied “I miss them ti and I’m sure they are watching over us, happy that your getting married to the love of you life”

Bette came over to hug the sisters. “Thanks you Bette” Cody said trying to smile

“I’ll look after her, and promise never to hurt her again” Bette said reassuring Cody that their love was real and forever.

Kit raised her glass and toasted Bette and Tine “To the happy couple!”

While the friends congratulated Bette and Tina Cody retreated to her room to compose herself. She hadn’t really thought of her parents as she had been so busy but th last few minutes had brought back memories. She missed them. Lying on the bed her mobile buzzed. It was another message from Helena. It read “Where you gone? How long you in town? Where you staying? Do you want to catch up?” It had been nearly 4yrs since Cody had finished with Helena back in London. But somehow seeing her after all this time brought back lost feelings.  Tina didn’t know Cody was gay, let alone had slept with Helena. Cody had to tell Tina before Helena did.

Wanting to enjoy her time in LA Cody thought why not meet the ex lover it could be interesting, after all Helena was hot and the sex was amazing. Cody replied to the message “Not sure how long, here for a while. Meeting would be good where and when? X”
