“so, what happened?”, Angelica asked.

“with what?”, Bette asked.

“with you and mommy?”, Angelica asked.

“oh,we agreed to have coffee together on Tuesday”, Bette replied. She slipped her cellphone in her pocket. “are you excited now?”, Bette asked.

“yes, and are you excited too?”, Angelica asked.

“you bet. Hey, you wanna go for a swim?”, Bette asked.

“sure, but first you have to take your cellphone out of your back pocket”, Angelica replied.

“oh yeah”, Bette said. She forgot that fast. She couldn’t believe Tina asked her out. She still had to be cautious, because Tina didn’t call off things with Henry, so technically they’re still together. The brunette undressed and revealed her bathing suit underneath her clothes. Angelica did the same. “ready?”, Bette asked.

“no, wait, lets hold hands and jump in together”, Angelica suggested.

Bette smiled and said,”alright on the count of three. One…two…three…JUMP!”

That evening

(Bette just put baby A to bed. She was expecting company that night.)

Ding! Ding!

Bette walked over to the door. She peeked outside and opened the door. “hey Shane”.

“hey Bette”, Shane said as she closed the front door. She followed Bette out back. The brunette sat down in a chair and relaxed. Shane got comfortable, and took off her jacket. “so, what’s up?”, Shane asked.

“would you like something to drink?”, Bette asked. She jumped up suddenly. She startled Shane a bit.

“uh, yeah, sure, I’ll take whatever you have”, Shane replied. Bette seemed to be a bit nervous, as though she had alot on her mind. She wanted to do everything in her will to keep the brunette happy.

Bette went into the kitchen and grabbed a couple of beers. She joined Shane out back. “here you go”, Bette said.

“thanks”, Shane replied. She cracked the beer open.

“where’s Carmen?”, Bette asked.

“oh, she’s at the house sleeping. She had it out with her mother again”, Shane replied.

“damn, those family arguments. I hate those”, Bette said. She passed her beer to Shane. She cracked it open and passed it back.

“so, what’s the problem Bette?”, Shane asked.

Bette sighed and said, “Tina”.

“so, what else is new?”, Shane asked. “And please don’t tell me, that your thinking about, getting back together with her?”, Shane said.
