They both smiled at each other and Bette squeezed Tina’s hand.

Bette: “They’re hiring a new accountant at the office. She’s a Yale graduate and they want me to introduce her to our little world.”

Tina: “That’s good right?”

Bette: “Yeah, it means they appreciate my work. Her name is Marie by the way.”

Tina: “I’m sure everything will be okay.”

Bette: “Yeah, you’re right.”

Tina: “I plan on taking the pregnancy test tomorrow morning, so if you want to be there when I take it, you can.”

Bette: “Thanks T, I would love to be there with you. Like I promised you, I want for us to be together every step of the way and I plan on keeping my promise. Gotta go babe, can’t be late for work.”

Bette kissed Tina on the lips and put her plate in the dishwasher.

Bette: “Call me if you need anything, okay babe?”

Tina: “Okay. I’m going to go too.”

They walked out of their house hand in hand and shared a gentle and loving kiss.

Bette: “Meet me for lunch?”

Tina: “I’d love to. The Planet at 12?”

Bette: “You got yourself a deal babe.”

Bette kissed Tina again and gently slapped her but.

Bette: “Now you go cure some innocent children.”

They shared a final kiss before driving off to work.

Both Bette and Tina couldn’t wait to see one another again and couldn’t stop watching the clock.

Bette: ‘Damn, it’s only ten o’clock. I have to wait for two more hours before I see T.’

Tina: ‘God, why can’t the time go faster? What time is it now? 10:02. Still 1 hour and 58 minutes before I see Bette again. God this is killing me.’

Their bodies and souls craved to see one another again, touch and kiss each other again. When Bette looked at the clock for the millionth time that day and it still only said 10:22, she just knew she had to at least hear Tina again. Bette thought about a reason to call Tina, but when she couldn’t find one, she just had to make something up. Bette picked up the phone in her office and dialed Tina’s cell phone.

Tina: “Tina speaking.”

Bette: “Hey T, it’s me.”
