She quickly stood up “ I’ll go back to bed now.” Bette whispered, you could hear the suppressed desire in her voice and see it in her eyes. She walked to the door, backwards, as if she hoped that Tina would stop her. But Tina said “ You are right, we should go back to bed. Good night, Bette” Her voice was not steady, it was also full of suppressed feelings, but it was more forceful than Bette’s and it brought Bette back to reality and made Bette say “ Good night and good bye, Tina.” Before she turned around and walked to her bedroom.

Tina stood in the doorway, small, light snowflakes fell out of the sky, which slowly lit up by the dawn, but the road had been cleaned in the night so the cab had no problems to drive up the mountain to the house. Tina looked up to the sky, the snowflakes fluttered down on her face, cooling down her red cheeks. She was flustered, she had been flustered the whole night, since Bette had left her in the kitchen .It was amazing what the look and the being of Bette still did to her. After the initial shock when Bette had suddenly appeared in the kitchen, she had felt the heat starting to flow through her veins. She was glad it was almost dark in the kitchen so the heat that went to her head was not noticeable. So she had to try really hard not to show her feelings to Bette, as Bette looked so cool. A soon as Bette had left her, she had come to her senses and had phoned the airport and as soon as she knew that there was a flight in the morning, she had phoned the cab company to order a taxi to bring her in time to the airport.

Shane had woken up when she had returned from the kitchen, she had tried to make her voice sound normal when she told Shane that everything was okay, but Shane had heard that it wasn’t normal. Shane had turned around in her bed and reached for the light, but Tina had stopped her by grabbing her hand before she could turn it on. She didn’t want her to see her in the light, Tina knew that it very well noticeable on her face that she was turned on, and when Shane found out that Bette had been with her in the kitchen, it was not difficult to put one and one together. So she preferred the darkness, to hide her appearance, to hide the obvious. “ It’s okay, Shane. I needed some water that’s all. Go back to sleep, so will I.” And she did, she got in her bed, closed her eyes and behind her eyes the image of a dark curly haired woman appeared. She moaned inside, she knew sleeping was impossible for the rest of the night.
