“Wow a crazy idea and swearing…don’t tell me you have been drinking this morning as well”  Tina is amused.

“Tina I am trying to be serious…..I want..”

“And there she is, the real Bette Porter has entered the building”

“Oh forget it, have a nice life”  Bette stomps of the bed and is making her way towards the door.

“Bloody hell” Tina forgetting her nakedness jumps out of bed and grabs Bette’s wrist.  “I’m sorry….please don’t go….I want that too….”

Bette has one hand on the door handle, she closes her eyes as tight as physically possible and takes a deep breath, she hasn’t forgotten that Tina must still be naked standing behind her.

“Bette, if you open that door I’ll follow you ”

“You wouldn’t dare” Bette challenges with not a lot of confidence

“Wouldn’t I”  Tina adds with too much confidence

As much as Bette couldn’t deal with a naked Tina, the thought of anyone else seeing a naked Tina made her feel physically ill.  She removes her hand from the door handle , she can hear Tina sigh but she doesn’t turn around.

“T….Lets just get on a train to…..anywhere…….I don’t care….lets just spend today and tomorrow….just us…..and I know there is the big going away party tonight and everyone will want to say….good…..” She stops she didn’t want to say it.

“And I thought I was the impulsive one” Tina filled the silence she just knew why Bette had suddenly stopped talking

Bette smiled the first genuine smile she had in weeks.

“It’s about time you rubbed off on me”  Bette blurted before engaging brain, she cringed waiting for Tina’s flippant response.

Tina response was not a verbal one, she ran back to the bed it must have got cold in here she reasoned as she wrapped the duvet tight around her.

“You know my parents will flip…..but bugger that….lets do it”  Tina declared, Bette’s crazy idea was a gazillion times more appealing than spending the night with every boring relative that she had.

Bette turned and sat back on the bed

“Really” Bette couldn’t keep the grin of her face.

“Really, how long do you need” Tina grinned back

“I’m ready to go”

“Wow….crazy idea….swearing… and now confident…..I am so going to miss this new Bette” Tina regretted that statement as soon as it left her mouth, their grins were instantly wiped off their faces.
