They continued to kiss until they felt the taxi stop.

”Well this is it babe. We are here. This is my childhood home. I missed it so much. I love Yale but I missed L.A.” Megan said getting out of the taxi.

Bette reached into her purse, grabbing the fare for the cab and paid the driver who had sat their bags on the driveway. She heard squealing as she saw Megan running up to hug who had to be her mother and smiled.

Bette watched the taxi drive away and grabbed the bags turning to make her way to the two women who were spinning each other around. Bette chuckled as Megan waved at her to hurry up. As Bette walked up behind Megan’s mother, Megan turned her mother and time stopped as Tina locked eyes with Bette.

”Mom? I’d like you to meet my girlfriend Bette Porter. Bette this is my beautiful mother and I confess where I get my good looks from Tina Kennard.” Megan introduced and watched with interest as Bette and her mother stared at each other.

”Nice to meet you Ms. Kennard” Bette said finally breaking the awkwardness and trying to remain calm on the outside although she was crumbling on the inside seeing the woman she had fallen in love with two years ago standing in front of her.

Tina was feeling the same as she shook Bette’s hand and the touch ignited sparks between the two just the same as it did when they shook hands when they first met in the restaurant that day on the island.

Megan grabbed Bette’s hand to pull her toward the front door. ”Come on Babe and I’ll show you around”

”Mom? You don’t mind do you?” Megan asked Tina.

Tina still stunned to see the young woman she had fallen in love with two years ago standing in front of her could only nod.

Megan walked over and kissed Tina on the cheek ”I’m really glad to be home Mom. Bette and I will get settled and help you with dinner ok?”

Tina nodded as she and Bette glanced at one another before they disappeared through the front door as it shut behind them

Tina walked over to the door trembling and leaned up against it to steady herself. Her head was spinning and heart was racing that her daughter’s girlfriend was the young woman she had never gotten over and had been in love with since she came back from the Turks and Caicos Islands two years ago.

”What am I going to do?” Tina mumbled as she laid her head back against the door and closed her eyes as she shed a single tear.
