“Haven’t I always said that?” Bette said

Bette took a bite of her pasta and then had a brainwave.

“You’ve seen a house haven’t you” Bette said looking at her wife.

Tina smirked and took a drink of her water “Maybe”

“I knew it” Bette laughed

“It’s to die for”

“Baby I am a principal of the school”

“Don’t give me the whole we can’t afford it nonsense, we have a joint account I know exactly what is there, what isn’t and what we can afford, and besides this year alone I’ve earned more than we thought”

“How much is it?” Bette asked

“$6,495,000” Tina smirked

Bette almost chocked on her drink

“T”

“Bette you need to see it honestly”

“I’m fighting a losing battle here aren’t I?”

“If you hate it once you’ve seen it I’ll shut up and we can look for something else” Tina said

Bette thought for a second “Ok under the condition you say nothing to the kids, we do this ourselves”

“We need to say to Jess”

“If we go ahead and buy it” Bette stated “Promise me?”

“I promise” Tina smiled

“Just bought a studio and record label and now you want to buy a house” Bette laughed

“So what we going to do about Mas?” Lisa asked

“Nothing he needs to deal with it” Jess sat down

“You’re a liar, what have you got up your sleeve?” Lisa looked at her sister

“Nothing, Carmen is going to teach him to defend himself, with Andrew when we get home…Lisa if we go into the school guns blazing we will embarrass him”

“Carmen got to you didn’t she?”

“She just explained I couldn’t walk him to every class he’s 13…She’s right we can’t…Lisa I would love nothing more than to drown the rats but were 24 years of age”

Lisa huffed sitting back on the sofa.

“If anyone lays a hand on him it will be the last time trust me on that” Jess stated

“Teaching our brother to fight…Mama will love that”

“I’m not teaching him to fight, we’re teaching him how to defend himself there is a difference, can we drop it, I want to play dumb like we don’t know anything”

Louise knocked on the coach door before entering.
