Tina’s point of view:

As our lips parted I felt a surge of emotions wash over me but most of all I felt curiosity seep in.  I was more curious than anything at the possibility of where this moment may lead me.  However I told myself that I could not portray it now and that I needed to hold out to see how she felt.  Of course, there was also Eric, but being with Bette felt too good for the guilt to seep in yet. I wanted to say something so badly but I could not find the right words to say anything.  Instead I hear a very quite voice whisper,

“I’m sorry”

Bette’s point of view:

 I felt a rush of emotions run through me ranging from guilt, disappointment, and most of all, confusion.  Guilt, because I knew that she was involved with somebody, my client, and disappointment because, after all, I cannot believe that I would do such a low-ball thing as kiss a client’s girlfriend. But, most of all, I felt confusion because, at the same time of knowing this was all wrong, I felt that somehow it was maybe right.  I knew I had to claim responsibility and speak up. So I did just that, but all I could muster up was a weak,

“I’m sorry”

These are two words that Tina Kennard did not want to hear.

 ”What?” said Tina, not being able to hear what she just said because her mind was still racing at a mile a minute.   

“I said I’m sorry” Bette softly spoke again, while looking into the beautiful blondes’ eyes.  Bette could not believe the beauty that stood before her.  All Bette wanted to do was to reach in an kiss Tina once more, this time with more passion, but she knew deep down that it was the wrong thing to do so she did not.    

“Well you should be” Tina’s voice spoke out in anger.  While taking two rather big steps back from Bette  “Just what made you think that you had the right to kiss me?” Tina asked hastily.  

Tina’s words felt like daggers to Bette’s chest and ego.  Bette is usually a pro at picking up signals from other women and she thought that Tina was sending those signals by the passionate eye contact that they shared, and the way that Tina let her hand linger on Bette’s, ***** that was the reason why Bette leaned in to kiss her, but she was all wrong.  Bette Porter’s gaydar was malfunctioning.  Bette just did not know how to respond to Tina’s question, and what was worse is that Tina was getting antsy waiting for an answer and she repeated herself.
