Tina: Bette I don’t think I should say anymore.

Batte: Say anymore? What are you talking about? You haven’t said anything yet. What is wrong with you?

Tina: You really wanna know what is wrong with me?

Bette: Yes I wanna know what Is bothering you.

Tina: Fine remember YOU asked for it.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

I am standing in front of Bette in the ladies room at our workplace. I have no idea what to say next as Bette is giving me this puzzled look.

Bette: So are you going to tell me?

Tina: Tell you what?

Bette: That is what I keep asking you. You come over tell me you have something to say to me then run out before you tell me now you are all mad at me for whatever reason.

Tina: I am not mad at you not really.

Bette: Why are you acting like this then?

Tina: Well your friend Linda came over to see you and I couldn’t stand there and watch her kiss you

Bette: She didn’t kiss me she only hugged me.

Tina: Well you told me she had kissed you before and I didn’t wanna witness her kissing you so I left.

Bette: Are you jealous? Aren’t you the one that wanted to be JUST friends?

I stood there not sure how to respond to Bettes statement. She is right I did say that. How can I tell her that I was wrong? The fact is I AM jealous but I cannot tell her that. I don’t want her to think I am demanding all her time. Feeling frusterated and helpless I just stood there as tears rolled down my cheecks.Bette walks up to me and wraps her arms around me. I rest my chin on her shoulder as my body shakes from my crying fit.

Bette: Hey! please don’t cry I don’t like seeing you like this. Just talk to me.

I feel so good with Bettes arms around me. I just wish I could stay in this moment forever. I wrap my arms around her and take in the scent of her perfume. It just drives me wild I have to kiss her. I can’t be this close to her and not kiss her. I lift my chin off her shoulder and whisper in her ear.

Tina: Bette I need to kiss you right now.

Bette pulls back and stares atraight into my eyes. I move my hands up to run my finger across Bettes bottom lip. I don’t know if I imagined it but I swear I felt her tremble. I place my hands behind her neck and slowly bring my face closer to hers. I am afraid that she will pull away. I keep getting closer to her until my lips gently touch hers. Bette pulls me tight against her body as she runs her tongue across my lips. I cannot hold back the moan that escapes me as I part my lips and allow this kiss to continue. As I am enjoying this moment I realize where we are. I slowly and regretfully pull away I notice Bettes eyes are closed as she lets out a sigh of frustration.

Tina: I am sorry we have to stop before someone walks in and catches us here.

Bette: Yeah we should get to work. We will talk after work okay?

Tina: Yes okay.

The work day seems to go by very slowly as Bette and I exchage glazes throughout the day. We both had a hard time waiting for our shift to be over. We both waited for the opportunity to be alone together so we could talk.
