Shane was sleeping over at Carmen’s, something she did a lot lately. She practically lived there now and altough Tina did miss her half-sister at times, she didn’t complain. Her father being a busy man, had to go on a lot of business trips. He used to take her mother along, to make up for his schedule.

Or why she had denied it at all. Bette was everything she wanted and more. Passionate, sensitive, caring, a kind heart, but she was also very headstrong to get what she wanted. She also went for what she wanted. She was very loyal to her friends as well as lovers, monogamy being her middle name. It must have been hell for her, finding out how Nicole had cheated on her, and after she’d forgiven her, Nicole had done it again. Tina subconsciously made a fist only thinking about it. Bette also sticked to her convictions, a part of her determined nature.
