Bette stepped closer and closer…she looked down at me with her demanding eyes…I unfold my arms staring back at her…I swallowed hard and said…

“I was screening your last call”

Bette tossed her phone into the livingroom chair…oh my god she was mad…she adores her things and to see her just toss it like she did scared me…I backed up and said…

“babe…please..I don’t wanna fight”

a sad look appeared on her face…she looked at me and backed away…she moved the battery and phone and took a seat…I watched her begin putting the cellphone back together…she looks over at me and places the device on the table…she says…

“so why were you screening my call?”

I sighed with relief once her voice returned back to normal…she scoot back against the large pillows…I said…

“because I thought that you were doing something behind my back”

she says surprisingly…

“wwhat…where did you get that idea ?”

I say…

“look whether you know it or not…you’ve been acting a little strange…when I enter the room you hurry up and get off the phone…is there something you wanna tell me?…you’ve been a little distant?”

she looks at me shaking her head saying…

“no…there’s nothing at all…”

I say…

“okay…well why are in a rush to move?…what are you running from?”

Bette smiles with shock written on her face…she says…

“running…who’s running…Tina I’ve been thinking about moving for a while…I’m not running from anything I just want a new setting that’s it…something bigger and more fancier than this…come on…I derserve it like you do too…”

I smile and say…

“yeah…but sometimes just because the grass looks greener doesn’t mean it’s good Bette…you don’t have to take every opportunity you get…sometimes you have to be patient…”

Bette said…

“so what are you saying?”

I move closer and plant my hand against hers…I say…

“I think if it’s meant to be…then it’ll be…we are doing good here…lets chill here for a few more years…who knows what can happen…it’s just that we have so many memories here…this house means alot to me Bette…we hold alof of history here…look at how long it took you to pay for this house…and now your living here relaxing just paying your mortgage…your living good and you don’t even know it…you should be more thankful of what you have in front of you…”
