Chapter 20

Looking away from a painting at the sound of a long sigh, Bella found Mike stifling a yawn behind his fist. She’d asked Mike, Jessica, Ben and Ashley to go to the museum with her, but she was the only one paying attention to the artwork.

Mike noticed her attention and commented, “Uh, I think I made it clear that these places are boring.”

“This one might explode too,” Bella said. “That’s potentially exciting, right?”

“Shhh!” the tour guide shushed.

They moved on to another picture, where Mike said, “Hey, Bella, on the next date, can we go to a movie?”

“Oh...um, sorry this isn’t really a date.”

Mike frowned and stuffed his hand in his pockets. “So, you don’t like me?”

“Well, I...oh, heck with it.” Bella lowered her voice. “Mike, I’m a lesbian.”

Jessica and Ashley both gasped and backed up a step. Bella sighed and said, “You can relax. I only go for older women.” This caused the tour guide to gasp and cover her chest. Bella sighed again and said. “You can relax too. I’ve got higher standards.”

“Oh, burn.” Mike muttered behind his fist.

The tour guide huffed and said, “Well, I never—”

“That makes two of us, because I’ve never either.” Bella smirked at the guide. “But I’ll bet I do it before you do.”

“Double burnbow, all the way!” Mike said, and then guffawed at his lousy humor. “But what does it mean?”

Jessica says, “It means no nookie for you either.”

The tour guide pointed and shouted, “Out! This is a family establishment.”

“Yet we can’t discuss making babies,” Ben said, and then smacked his lips. “So hypocritical.”

Bella giggled as she and her friends began walking away from the tour group. “Okay, that was interesting.”

“Thank you,” Mike said, “I’ll be here all wee...no, screw that, I’m outta here for good. Asta mine taco, baby.”

“You’re uncultured swine, Mike,” Jessica complained with a fake tone of haughty dismay. “Why can’t you just shut up and appreciate the ambience?”

“Oh, fine, let me soak up the culture. I’ll practically be a culture dish.” Mike turned to look at a painting and said, “Oh, this in nice. It’s like...like Donkey Kong?”

Bella glanced at the picture and saw first the sets of brown diagonal girders that Mike must have been commenting on. Sandwiched between the girders were levels of black ants performing various human tasks. On one level, the ants waited for a sub, while on another, they worked to move leaves and twigs out of a drainage tunnel. On the next level, they wove a net, and on the final level was a little green lizard covered in fire ants.

Bella blinked, stepped back and really looked at the image again. She laughed with instant delight and said, “Mike, I love you.”

“You do?”

“In a totally platonic way,” Bella amended.

“Damn,” Mike said.

Taking her dad’s digital camera, Bella flicked the switch to put the camera in movie mode, and then she turned it on. Starting a recoding, she made a slow pass of the painting as she said, “But if I ever straighten up and fly hetero, you’ll get dibs on the first ride.
