What is love? – Chapter 23
“I do live with you full time,” Tina pointed out, puzzled.
This is a nightmare, Bette thought. Everybody today answered her declaration the same way, even Tina.
Bette leaned back in the chair. “Yeah, but you have to give up your lease–and move the rest of your stuff–and change your address.”
Understanding began to dawn for Tina and she looked down at the postal cards again.
“Oh, baby, this is so sweet. I love it. I love you.”
Bette began to perk up. “I can help you finish moving, and I’ll fill out a bunch of those change-of-address cards–I have more–and I’ll take care of the paper work involving the lease.”
“Oh, you don’t need to do that.”
“I insist.” said Bette, firmly.
Tina recognized the steel in Bette’s voice. When she said, ‘I insist,’ she was going to be impossible to divert. Tina walked into the living room and turned around as Bette joined her.
“Baby, I’ve already done all that.”
“All what?”
“I’ve moved all my stuff.”
“Here?”
“Well, of coursehere.
“Oh,” said Bette.
“And I’ve changed my address for everything and I’ve given up the lease.”
“You get all your mail here?”
“Yes,” Tina’s voice was getting quieter.
“How long ago did you give up your lease?”
“About two months.” Tina’s voice was barely audible.
“OK” Bette said. “.OK.” And she sat down in one of the chairs, rubbing her temples with her fingers .
Tina walked toward her and stopped when Bette looked at her and shook her head. Tina’s heart lodged in her throat and she tried to think of what to do next. She sat down on the sofa.
Tina realized that this was not a big deal, except it was for Bette. When Bette planned a special evening, it was usually at a fancy restaurant where someone else handled all the details. Tonight Bette had handled the details and probably thought nothing was going right.
Tina knew it was very important for Bette because she was making a commitment. And it was the first of her personal life.
Tina had thought about not telling Bette about the lease and everything, but when Bette said she “insisted” in that tone of voice, Tina knew she would be found out. And that would have been worse.
One day, Tina thought, this will be funny, but not tonight.
Bette stood up and stepped to the couch.. Tina looked up hopefully and Bette put out her arms. Tina stood up into Bette’s arms and was more relieved than she could express.
“It’s silly for me to be upset about this. You’re always way ahead of me in this relationship. I think you knew about us the first night we met and I was clueless.”
Tina didn’t say anything but snuggled in closer if that were possible.
“But baby,” Bette said, “One day, one of us will probably be ready to proposeand can it be me?”
Tina looked up into Bette’s eyes which were full of humor and love.
“It can be you,” Tina promised.

So funny, yet so SWEET!
DAMN!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS CHAPTER. IT WAS AWESOME. THE FACT THAT BETTE WAS DECLARING IT TO EVERYONE, IS PRICELESS. I WOULD LOVE TO COME HOME LIKE THAT ON A THURSDAY NIGHT. (THE POOL MAN RETORT IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS, REMINDS ME OF MY SISTER.) YOU ARE TRULY PRICELESS KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
PEACE
I love this I can see Bette maturing fast. It was funny that all four people said the same thing. To be so smart she is not smart sometimes. You are lucky to have a M.M and M.M. picture signed. Started about 20 yrs ago, Still have my ticket to Nolan Ryans seventh No Hitter Was a B’day present.. Thanks
hahahaha, when I read the last few paragraphes, I have to smile. How cute and obtuse-but-still-cute Bette is!
awww aww awwww, there you go again with the sugar… gosh, bette is just so darn cute, like a little kid. She might be trying to mature in this relationship, but she still is a wee baby right now. Just hope that you will continue this story to their proposal and much much more after that.
great chapter!
The last part was so cute. “CAN IT BE ME?”… &Thanks for not making a drama with the pool guy thing…hahaha

Not sure if I ever commented, but have always looked for this story. Poor Bette, she is like Dana in this story, the last to know. I liked your joke where Bette wants to be the one to propose. Maybe she should have done it right then and there before the others thought they are already “married”.Great story. Thanks for sharing your time and creativity.
