Tina: “can you excuse me?” she stood to leave

Bette: “no, whatever you have to say you can say it here” she gazed over at Tina with a serious look on her face. The phone kept ringing and ringing and ringing. “aren’t you gonna get that?” she asked with a suspicious tone of voice.

Tina: “yeah”

Bette: “well what are you waiting for?”

Ring! Ring!

“The 8th Mile”

Tina: “nothing” she tossed the cellphone onto the bed

Bette: “you answered it early…why hesitate now?” she asked with a concerned look on her face. She walked over to Tina’s cellphone and picked it up. She read the caller id and wasn’t surprised to see Josh calling. What else should she suspect from her sneaky wife?

Tina: “okay look it was Josh okay. He was calling me to ask me if I wanted to go out to this party with him later. I told him that I couldn’t, because you were here and I was tending to my wife and daughter. I told him that you two were my priorities.” she placed her hands on her shoulders as though she were annoyed

Bette: “don’t give me an attitude Tina. Just admit it. Your busted” she said as she sat down on the bed.

Tina: (she raises her hands in the air) “okay…okay. I’m busted. Are you happy now?”

Bette: “no I’m not. You think this is easy Tina. You think it’s easy asking you these questions? I’m beginning not to trust you”

Tina: “no you never trusted me period. That’s why you asked who it was that was on the phone?”

Bette: “no I asked you who it was in hoping that you would tell me the truth. And you can’t even tell me that. Are you fucking him yet?” she asked as she placed her hand over her aching heart. She was hoping that she said no. If she had said yes she didn’t think that she would be able to be with her anymore. There relationship would be through.

Tina: “no. I haven’t fucked him okay. We came close to it if you must know, but we never had sex”

Bette: “did you kiss him yet?”
