There was a light knock on the door; I didn’t react. I was sitting in the chair in my office and I didn’t move. I then heard the office door open and close. Soon, someone was standing right beside me and I sighed.

"I don’t want to talk," I mumbled.

"Bette, she’s right outside the door. Talk to her, all she wants is to talk."

"Nik, seriously I don’t want to see her right now. I just, ugh," I said and Nikki slipped onto my lap, my arms wrapped around her waist, and I rest my head on her chest.

"Bette, you have to. You obviously still have feelings for her and I know she has feelings for you. Fuck, if I’d have known she was your Tina, I’d have done something."

"Please don’t."

"Babe, you need to talk to her."

"I can’t. It just hurts too much."

She caressed my face, and kissed my lips gently. I deeped the kiss and she moaned into my mouth. I ran my hands up and down her sides and to her ass. I gave it a good squeeze and she giggled. We parted and she stared into my eyes.

"We had a good run babe, but I think it’s time we go our seperate ways."

"Oh Nik, no."

"Yes, we want different things. I’m twenty-one and just starting out in my career. You’re twenty-nine and have a successful career and are about to start a family. I want a family, just not now."

"Aw babe."

"You know I’m right. Let’s call this what it is, a no strings attached, friends with benefits relationship," she said and smiled, tears glossing her eyes, "she’s right outside. Your future is right outside the door. In another life, I think we’d work out perfectly, but in this life, it’s just not right. Go get Tina, you’ve been waiting five years for this moment."

She slipped off my lap and I grabbed for her. Her lips crashed onto mine and we held it for what seemed like forever. When we parted she smiled. I would definitely miss her smile, her lips, her being with me when I woke every morning. I would miss her.

"Go get her."

And with that she walked away. She left quietly and I sighed. What was I supposed to do? My feelings for Tina never left, but what if Nikki is who I am supposed to be with? Love is complicated. I get up and walk to the door, I sigh and I open it. I am met with hazel eyes, glossed with tears.
