Bette put aside her love for Tina. She knew the only thing she could offer to Tina was her unconditional friendship. They became very best friend; they talked almost about everything, except that Tina would never talk about her boy friend and Bette would never told Tina who she been going out with. Is the very one subject not to touched or spoken of.

Within few years, they were good together, as friend. Their friendship grew stronger each day. Bette always bought the same CDs that Tina had; share the love for the same songs, books, even foods. She loves everything that Tina loved. Bette turn down a singing contract offer by some of the major label recording company, because Tina showed little or no appreciation of fame and fabulous. Bette was making her mark at the radio station. She was the brightest star DJ and getting promoted to be the next show producer.

Bette was doing all these for Tina. She secretly hoped that one day; Tina would realize how much she loves her. She hides her true feeling for Tina; she put it in a box and shoves it to the corner of her heart. But Bette did realize is that within those years, no matter how hard she tried, her love for Tina could never be kept in the corner of her heart.

———————————————

One night, Bette received a phone call from Tina. She was crying on the phone when she asked if Bette could come over to her place. Bette knew she had to be there for her. Without any second thought, she put on any clothing she get her hand on and rushed out her front door.

Tina was sitting on her bed, her head hide between her knees, sobbing bitterly, telling Bette she broke up with her boy friend. Bette couldnt help to be over joy by this news. She was praying in her head thanks god for this opportunity. And for the first time since they were friend, Tina told Bette about her love for this guy how they knew each other, every movement they shared with each other, everything of them together became torturing memories for her. As these word sunk in, Bette realized that Tina was in fact deeply in love with him, she even believe that he was the man she would spend her life with. Bette felt depressed. She thought she might get a chance to start a relationship with Tina, but it turned out that it would never came true.

He did leave you, you know. Bette said.

With him around, I feel Im in such happiness and loved. Tina sobbed.

I can make you happy again Tina, believe me. Bette blurted out.

Biting her lips, Tina looked at Bette sadly.

I can and I will! Bette pulled Tina to her embraces. She was shaking but she wanted so much to get rid of the sadness in Tinas eyes. She needs to be strong for Tina to hold on to.

Resting inside Bette warm embraces, Tina remained silent. After a while, Tina began to laugh as she slowly pulled away from Bette arms.

What are you laughing at? Bette asked.

You wear two different socks, Bette. Tina chuckle as she pointed at Bettes leg.

I was in a hurry to come here. I was worried about you.

Tina looked up and met with Bette eyes. Those beautiful eyes that have so much love in it. How could I not see it before? Tears streaming down from her face, Tina was touched by the tenderness. Come here as Tina spoke, she wrap her arm around Bette waist, head rested at Bettes shoulder. Bette unconsciously placed a hand on Tinas head, stroking her hair softly. This feels right. Bette was never been happier in her life. Bette reached for her hand and held it looking at Tina. She rolled her arm inward and places a kiss on Tinas forehead.
