Vignettes: Chapter 51
Fabulous. Beth and I-
And lets not forget we have small company today. Bette interrupted Alice as she walked to the table. She nodded towards Dakota who was quietly engrossed in her book. Alices face turned bright red as she realized what she almost said.
Sorry. Alice said. How was your night Porter? Alice smirked.
Great. Bette replied. I watched the Powerpuff Girls and ate a brownie with the two most wonderful women in the world.
Dakota looked up from her book and grinned at Bette. But she wouldnt stay over.
Oh really? Dana asked. Why not?
Because she said the couch is uncomfortable.
I bet it is. Alice said under her breath.
Tina kicked her under the table. Dakota turned back to her book.
Its been three months since the move. How long are you going to play avoid the topic? Alice asked Bette and Tina.
Were letting the cat out of the bag today. Were ready to take the boat off the dock. Tina replied, glancing at Dakota to make sure she wasnt listening too intently.
Untying all the knots? Three passengers? Dana asked.
Bette nodded. All three.
What about the shipwreck eight years ago? Alice asked. Any light been shed on that?
Lets just say the boats been docked for years with only two passengers on it. Theres never been mention of a third mate until now. Tina carefully replied.
Wow. Alice said. Its about time, then. How are you going to do it?
Oh, I plan on raiding my liquor cabinet first. Bette smiled.
I dont blame you. Dana said.
Seriously, though, after this were going to the beach for a day in the sun with a picnic lunch, arent we sweetie? Tina turned to Dakota.
Yup. I have all my stuff in the car and my bathing suit is on under my clothes. Dakota showed Alice and Dana her suit by pulling up her shirt.
All set for the big day then? Alice asked.
Dakota nodded and smiled. Mommy I have to go to the bathroom.
Ok, its right there. Bette pointed to the door next to their table. If you need me just knock three times, ok? Like a secret code.
Ok. She went in the bathroom.
Porter, looks like youve got this mom thing down, huh? Alice said.
Lets not rush anything. Bette put her hands up. Were simply telling her about our past and how were now in a relationship. Im not moving in and were not getting married.
Not yet. Dana replied.
And sleeping on the couch? Hows that going? Alice smirked.
Tina and Bette both glared at Alice.
Weve learned to be creative. Tina replied, her face reddening.
Just then Dakota came back out of the bathroom. When are we leaving?
Now, honey. Get your things ready. Tina said.
Good luck today. Dana said as she showed them her crossed fingers when Dakota wasnt looking.
Have fun. Call me later. Alice said as she stood and hugged them all.
Ill call you if Im still alive. Bette muttered loud enough for Alice to hear.
I couldnt think of anyone better for Dakota than you. Alice whispered to Bette. Now go show her how much you love her… and her mom.
Alice grabbed Bettes hand and squeezed it before walking away.
