They had been seeing each other almost everyday, after Tina finished her daily marathon.

Sometimes Domina was already sleeping. Sometimes Bette was already sleeping.

But they couldn’t kiss and talk and nothing else because the blonde was always too occupied.

Three whole days and the producer was dying. She missed Bette and Domina like she never believed it was possible.

“You’re in love, Tina…That’s what happened…”

Cassidy kept saying and laughing from the blonde´s inability of being in love.

However, she didn’t see Bette since Monday, when she presented her house to the Dean. But again, Tina had to interrupt their marathon of kissing; the preparation for what  –  Tina hoped would be a night full of delightful sex  –  because her cell phone rang.

Days had passed and the blonde had only talked with Bette over the phone.

—————————

“Babe…I miss you so much…I can’t believe I have to travel again…” It was Sunday and her body was in despair to see Bette. They’ve been talking during the whole week. Tina talked with Domina everyday on the phone after the class and the girl always would ask when she would visit them again.

However the last time they talked, Mimi asked her something that made the executive stop to think about it with time.

“Are you two dating, Tina? You and mom?” Tina didn’t know what to say and chose the easy way. “What your mom said?”

“Tsss…Tsss…Tina…I am not asking her…I am asking you…” Domina´s forwardness scared Tina sometimes.

“I…I don’t know…Domina… We getting to know each other…We need time to feel what we want…We don’t want to rush things…”

The girl was mute on the phone. The answer didn’t satisfy her at all and the blonde would discover that in seconds.

“I don’t know…I am a child, you know… but …You take too long to know each other…”

“I understand your point of view, Mimi, but we want to be sure we knew better ourselves…We don’t want to hurt each other…”

“But don’t you get hurt when you are far away from the one you love or like?…I mean… I miss mommy a lot when she is working…”

What Tina should say? “This is life. This means to be adult. She couldn’t say that because theses answers were ridiculous. 

“I also miss your mom, dear…But we need time…” The producer tried.

“ …But Tina…how would you know each other …How will you know my mom, my family over the phone..? You can’t do this over the phone, you know…”

Tina went silence. Again.

“I know …I know that there’s also, e-mails and messenger, skype…we used at school…”

Two days ago, Tina got all proud because she received an e-mail from Domina. That act warmed her heart for the day.

But the girl kept explaining her thought. “But …I don’t think it’s the same when you get together with us…I love Aunt Dane because she is sweet and we play a lot. Aunt Alice makes me laugh a and I love Aunt Shane because her smile is very…very warm, you know… and aunt Kit is a great cook and I love her lap. And Aunt Helena has soft hands and my cousins have these incredible games…And they care for me when I am sick or sad. And they’re with me when I am happy…But, you know…you can do this over the phone…”

“And your mom?” Tina couldn’t be without the answer. “Can you tell me why you love your mom, Mimi?”

“How could anyone just don´t love her, Tina?”
