The next day at work, Tina just wasn’t herself. She sat in her office trying to concentrate, but all she could think about was Bette, and that frustrated her to no end. She wondered why Bette would go to all of that trouble when she taunted and tormented Tina whenever it suited her. She couldn’t understand Bette in all of the woman’s complexity, and the attraction there was upsetting her. She started to think about her fiancé, and whether or not she felt the same way about him. No, not the same way, she concluded. But maybe that was a good thing? Maybe what she really felt for Bette was unhealthy – a hatred of sorts. It had to be something passionate, she figured.

She had vacated her chair as she wondered to herself, pacing around the small room with utter confusion. What was she supposed to feel? Was she supposed to be upset? Should she have admitted Bette had been in her room the other night? That question placed a lot of guilt on her shoulders, realizing she hadn’t phoned her soon-to-be husband about the situation. Why hadn’t she? Was there something behind the visit? Had she wanted something to happen? She shook her head with frustration toward the endless stream of questions buzzing around in her head, and placed both hands on the cabinet directly in front of her so she could face the wall and nothing else.

Suddenly she had a strange feeling, and then she felt a tingle run from her feet all the way into her lower back where it settled for a moment. She closed her eyes at the sensation, dropping her head for a moment as she heard breathing behind her. Suddenly her entire body was charged with a strange electricity as she realized who it must be – the only person who would quietly intrude her office that way. She tried with all her might to deny that she did feel something incredible brewing.

Bette took another step closer, taking in all of Tina – from her beautiful legs to that perfect ass. The blond hair always made her smile in a wicked fashion.

Wilson had mentioned that when Tina was especially stressed, she often forgot to eat her lunch, and mentioned that he would remind her. Upon hearing this, Bette offered to tell Tina herself – conning Wilson by explaining that it would be her apology for being so difficult the days previous. He had given her the task with an air of suspicion, but ignored it and carried on with his own day.
