“I dunno, it’s been a long time since Tina and I were….Tina and I. She moved on….so have I” Alice laughed “Yeah with who, girl from the coffee house, your yoga class or the train?”
“Ok so I haven’t found anyone I want to date just yet… but I’ve been on a few dates and met some really interesting women” she tried desperately to lie.
“Oh really, Bette what were their names?” she looked down into her drink trying to think of one that she could have seen herself dating. “Hmmm” Alice laughed knowing she was right.

Shane changed the direction of the conversation cause Alice could go on all night, “So you’re actually going to meet her tomorrow, won’t that be a little awkward?”
“Hope not but I’d really like to know what happened between us, finally answer some questions” They cheered to Bette coming home ending the conversation so they could have fun instead.

Tina had tried calling Bette multiply times the last message she got from her didn’t make too much sense due to the amount she had to drink last night. Bette woke to the vibration of her phone on the pillow; she glanced at it seeing Tina had left a voicemail. She listened to it as she got some panadol and water to stop her head from pounding.

“Oh shit, I’m suppose to meet Tina in an hour” she was dying to go back to sleep and rest. She rushed to get ready and run out the door to grab a cab. She pulled up to the restaurant that Tina had suggested seeing she was already there.

“Hey, thanks for meeting me” Tina got up to greet her. “Well I think it’s important that we get this all cleared up right” She agreed handing Bette a menu to look at. She could tell Bette hadn’t had much sleep last night and could sense this was why she sounded grumpy.

 Glancing over the menu she caught Tina mouthing to herself, “Umm Tina…do you want to go first or do you need time to talk it over…with yourself” they both laughed which helped clear the tension in the air.

“Uh, I don’t even know where to start explaining things to you. Still trying to figure it all out myself” Tina was looking doing at the glass in front of her. “Maybe the day you left, or how you forgot to tell me or how you met Eric, they all sound interesting!”

“OK, ok, but I wasn’t the only one who tore us apart that night” Tina raised her eyebrows as Bette who was so quick to pass the blame. “Yes but I was willing to talk to you about it, you shut me out completely like I…we were nothing”

“I guess it was just easier for me to accept that you were leaving, if I was mad at you…which wasn’t the case, I was more upset that I never got to see you one last time and wish you all the best cause really that’s all I wanted but looks like you got everything you were looking for anyway” she gave her a half smile as the waitress came over with their food.

“Not everything” They fell silent as Bette realised maybe she wasn’t still over Tina as much as she thought she was.
