Tina had spent endless hours consumed by paperwork, finally feeling the tiredness cast over she glanced at the clock on the opposite side of the room. The blonde cursed herself continuously for allowing herself to stay so late, she hadn’t thought paperwork could be so time consuming. Normally that wouldn’t deter the blonde, for sometimes she wasn’t quite sure what she had to rush home for.

Sure she loved spending time with Angelica, but the last year and a half had completely worn her down. It was as if she was treading water to stay afloat, but as the current came harder and became more powerful, she had been losing the fight to keep her head above water. She hadn’t even felt like she existed in the house she shared with Bette, even in their bedroom many nights were spent divided by time and distance. It just became easier to not approach the subject of them breaking up. She knew if it came to that, there would be no turning back.

‘Sometimes in life you can love, but that you need more than love to succeed’, the blonde thought. She hoped to the high heavens that Bette truly understood her entire being, for she believed she had only been brought into this world to find a woman as beautifully courageous and loving as the brunette who held her heart.

She knew Bette would be upset with her for not even calling, she knew that tomorrow she would have alot of grovelling to do before the brunette would forgive her for coming home at such an hour. Packing up her belongings Tina made her way out of the office building, she hadn’t even realised she was the only one there. Everyone else had gone home to the families, or respective other halves, then it hit her she had been so used to avoiding time with Bette she had busied herself in tedious tasks. Those tasks filled her time, it wasn’t for the fact she didn’t want to go home; she just didn’t want to be rejected yet again.

The blonde would always feel guilty whenever she thought about sex, it had been 8 months and counting since any kind of sexual encounter happened. And she was pretty adamant that was only because she had initiated such an act. She didn’t want no one else; she just wanted to be wanted by the brunette. Truly wanted. Hopelessly devoted, kind of want. Not this need to be with her for only Angelica’s sake.
