Tina was sitting on her window sink, her feet dangling in the air. Her window gave view to the side of Bette’s house. She could see the front garden as well as the back garden.
She had been watching Bette for a while now. The brunette was working in the garden and it was clear by the expression on her face that she enjoyed it. Tina wasn’t much of a gardener. Good thing she is, or our garden would be such a mess when we lived together.
The thought was out there before she could stop it. What am I thinking? Get over yourself, Kennard.

Bette looked up and put her hand above her eyes to block the sun. She smiled as she saw Tina and the blonde waved slightly, not really knowing how it looked. Probably stupid. She couldn’t help but blush when Bette’s smile widened, giving her neighbour a wink. Just as Tina was about to crawl out of her rather dangerous position, a familiar car came up the driveway. She wasn’t sure when or where she had seen it, but she knew that she had seen it before. The car stopped and a blonde girl wearing huge aviator shades exited from the car. Tina recognised her immediately as she ran her hand through her hair and straightened [no pun intended] her top, of which Tina couldn’t help but notice the huge cleavage. Nicole Parker was a woman on a mission, but so was Tina Kennard.

She knew what to do. She jumped out of the window and ran downstairs. She had to be there to stop this woman from whatever she was doing. She knew that Nicole was very well aware of what buttons to push with Bette, the brunette wouldn’t be able to resist. Tina felt she had to help Bette, she couldn’t let her new friend succumb to the temptation of this leech. And she knew that if she didn’t intervene, that was just what would happen.

Tina ran out of the house and went straight to Bette’s front door. Nicole was just being let in by a confused looking Bette. The brunette frowned her eyebrows as she saw Tina, heavily panting and making a beeline for the door.
“Hey Tina,” Bette said.
“Bette, you have to kick her out right now,” Tina said, not wasting her time. “I’m serious – she’ll say stuff, she’ll seduce you and you’ll be putty in her hands. You don’t want history to repeat itself, do you?”
“No, she just wants to talk. It’s okay, Tina.”
“Talk?” Tina scoffed. “Please. We’re talking about Nicole Parker here!” Bette shifted her eyes, looking uneasy. Tina’s voice was loud and clear and the chance Nicole couldn’t hear her was close to zero. The blonde couldn’t care less.
“Tina, I… she… she just wants to have a talk. It’s innocent, I swear. I mean, we were togtether for so long, I should give her a chance.”
“No, you shouldn’t,” Tina said, getting angrier at the moment. She knew full well about Bette’s weak spot for her ex. “You shouldn’t because of what she did to you. She never respected you, she manipulated you and she cheated on you, twice.” Tina lowered her voice. “And she hit you for the most ridicolous reasons. She’s a stupid git, Bette. She doesn’t deserve you.”
“…”
“Bette…” Tina said in a threatening voice. “You know she’s no good.”
“Alright, alright. I’ll let you be there so you can stop her if she tries to brainwash me or whatever it is you think she does.”
“Why do you have that grin all over your face?”
“I think it’s cute. And I like it, too.”
“What?”
“That you’re jealous.”
“I’m not jealous! I only keep your best interests mind.”
“Sure.”
“Bette! I’m not jealous. I wouldn’t even have a reason to be jealous. I feel nothing for you but friendship.”
“Are you going to come in or are you going back home?”
