CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

Tina was making dinner when she remember that the dinner with Sam and Dave had been delayed to the day after. Sam had called her today to ask her if that was possible – her new friend was sure that she’d be way better company if she had the weekend to look forward to. 

“Babe, I completely forgot that Sam and Dave are coming by tomorrow instead of tonight.”

“I was already wondering why you were so calm,” Bette smiled. “Oh shit, I totally forgot to ask you – I kind of invited Alexandra to come over tonight. Her boyfriend wanted to go this new club, but she didn’t feel like it and needed an excuse so I told her she could come over and she really wanted that…”

“Sure,” Tina answered. She frowned her eyebrows, though. She didn’t want Bette’s friends to just be people who took advantage of her goodness; she hoped this Alexandra-girl meant well. “I’ll just take one more in account, then.”

“Alexandra shares a lot of our interests, I’m sure you’ll love her,” Bette said, sensing that her girlfriend was worrying. She couldn’t help but feel warm because of that – it was somehow a reassurance when Tina was jealous, it meant she cared about her a lot.

“Hey, Bette, down to earth,” Tina waved a hand in front of the brunette.

“Oh, no, I’m fine here in heaven,” Bette replied, taking another bite of the delicious pizza Tina had made. Her girlfriend had a nice plan for the dinner of the next day. She would make portions of lasagna, a few pizza’s, macaroni, spaghetti and ravioli. Everyone would be able to choose what they wanted, or eat a little bit of everything. As Tina was the most insecure about her pizza – and lasagna skills, she practiced those on Bette tonight.

When Bette had finished her dinner, she walked up to her lover who hadn’t eaten anything because she was just a bundle of nerves. Bette wrapped her arms around her waist and gave her a soft peck on the lips. 

“I am so lucky to have such a wonderful girlfriend who is so kind, loving, caring, such a good cook and just so very good in bed.”
