Labyrinth of Emotions – 02.10 ~ Leading Back To Me

            Alex offered to buy Rosita a drink thinking she’d better play nice with someone she’d more than likely be playing a lot with in the near future. Rosita was enjoying the sudden change in Alex‘s attitude, it was rather attractive. The cop was cute tom-boi cute with her hair growing out of an obviously short razor cut.

            “No, I think I’ll pass Funcionario, but thank you for the fetching offer.” Rosita said and Alex nodded, watching her walk away as Vanessa wrapped her arms around Alex, and asked in an interested tone of voice.

            “Tell me what my sister is doing here with Bette Porter?” Alex turned, meeting her sister’s eyes and smiling. Nessa stared Alex down, and then Alex relented, having to explain herself to her younger sibling. It was an aspect of their relationship that Alex had a hard time getting accustom too.

            “I’m helping her get over the nightmare once called Crystal, no worries. How is your man?” Alex asked, turning and looking at Tina and Bette, still dancing easily with one another. Excellent, now she just had to figure out how to get Rosita Navarro away from Tina. Tina watched as Rosita moved past them and Bette watched Tina looking at Ro. Jealousy, Alex saw it in her eyes. Good, emotions are always good.

            “He’s good we are heading up there.” Vanessa said impishly, pointing to the stairs that led to Heaven. Alex had to grin, and Vanessa kissed her cheek lightly, and disappeared into the crowd.

            Tina listened as Bette spoke easily and as if it were nothing to be speaking of these things. Tina took Bette‘s hand and led her to one of the smaller tables in the back of the room, but just a few feet away from the bar. Tina sat Bette down and Bette had to smile at Tina falling into her motherly mode.

            “I realized that Alex didn’t know what had really happened, I didn’t want to see anyone else but her. I-I felt something, a connection with her. Then Jo told me she was in a coma and I locked down, Jo fixed it all and Alex was an unconscious hero and I was a broken vessel of myself. I-I watched as Alex went after Crystal, she was protecting me. She got shot and I was frozen, then I heard the shot that killer her and realized that I was the one that had shot her, the gun was warm and I’d pulled the trigger.” Bette said in a matter fact tone and Tina leaned across the small table, kissing her nose and Bette had to let her touch her, just one instant. Human contact; with Tina, it felt heavenly and her heart filled with a warm feeling. Bette wondered who the woman was that Tina‘s been with.

            “Babe, come home? We can talk and I can help you work through this?” Tina asked suddenly, everything was forgiven to have dwelled in the harsh place that Tina‘s been holding her emotions would have been cruel after everything that had happened. She’d almost been killed, and Tina had run to her rescue, but only to be too late, but Alex had, luckily, been right on time.

            Bette blinked, surprised by the turn of events but this was just the pity talking, and not Tina. She had vowed in her vast amount of time that she’d had to think about these things; in the solitude of her room that she’s make it all up to Tina. In her own time, and she wasn’t ready for that just yet. She had hurt Tina in ways that no person who loved someone should hurt the person they loved. She had done her penance, she’d done her time, but now she needed to allow herself time to heal as well.

            “Not yet but someday.” Bette said getting up from the chair and hugging Tina hard and then walking away, leaving Tina stunned as she moved to Alex‘s side, and took Alex‘s hand. Tina watched as Alex nodded at something that Bette was saying.

            “That didn’t go as planned.” Tina said out loud and Blu slid Tina a beer, and Tina took it, Rosita at her side suddenly and she nursed the beer. Ro watched across the dance floor as Bette seemed very taken with Alex, Ro wasn’t sure what was going on. Bette was looking down at Alex with what could only be described as love in her eyes. Ro grimaced this might not be as easy as they’d thought.

            “She’s going? With the detective?” Rosita asked totally confused and seeing Bette and Alex venture up the stairs and Tina scoffed, not watching as she mounted the stairs. Tina slapped the table, something more than anger was brimming at her now. She turned the bottle up, and guzzled the bottle until it was dry. She moved to the bar, reaching over and dropping the empty beer bottle into the bin. Katey moved over and placed a bottle of Jo‘s best champagne in front of Rosita and Tina, and moving off before either could say a word.

            “Looks that way huh? That’s ok, I’ll get her back I didn’t fight for her the first time, but this time is way different. I’m not the same person I was.” Tina stated and turned to face Rosita and Ro cocked an eyebrow and smiled. She took the bottle and popped the top, expertly pouring it into the glasses, and she gave the glass to Tina. Tina made a face, but took it nonetheless.

            “Bette isn’t the same person she was either.” Ro raised her glass, “To getting what you want Bella.” Ro said, and Tina nodded reaching up and pushing aside the hair that was in Rosita’s face, and said.

            “To getting what we want.”

            Dana pushed Lara against the side of the stall her hand snaking down the front of the chef’s pants, finding her wetness instantly and Lara moaned against the warm tanned skin of Dana‘s neck. Lara nibbled gently and Dana sighed cupping her breast through her shirt and Lara‘s hands finally managed to grab Dana and caress her ass.

            “Fuck Dana…” Lara moaned, feeling Dana‘s long athletic fingers slide into her virtually effortlessly and her hips rocked back and forth on Dana‘s hand. Lara tried to concentrate on doing something to Dana but she just couldn’t, the pill that Dana had given her was coursing through her body and it was leaving her totally uninhibited. She’d forgotten about Sam, about where they were, just the pent up passion she felt.

            “Cum Lara, cum for me…” Dana pleaded and Lara reached up, grabbing the top of the stall, arching her back as Dana yanked her shirt up and clasped an erect nipple between her lips, and Lara yelled in delight.
