Heater Mystery

i live in atlanta

not really all that cold

usually, the temp gauge gets to the middle in about 5 minutes
it stays there, nothing unusual

heater inside the car warms up a little by then
but it doesn;t really get warm til about 10 more minutes
then it;s very warm
gauge is still in the middle

why does it do this?
if the water temp gauge doesn;t get any hotter, how come the inside heater does?

is there some secondary thermostat that doesn;t let the really hot water into the heater core until later?
