“Wait did you hear something?!” Tina sat up, Bette remained kissing her chest.
“mmm just your moans, why?” Bette replied in between kisses. Tina pushed Bette off her for a second. “I think someone’s here…”
“Tina!” She heard a manly voice in the hallway.
“It’s Josh! Quick hide!” They both panicked “Where?!”
“Under the bed” Tina pointed. Bette shuffled her body to fit under the bed, Tina jumped back on it acting normal.

As the door opened Bette could see the feet of the man. “Babe, where have you been?” Josh questioned, Tina turned rolled over, holding her stomach. “I took the day off, I wasn’t feeling too great” She lied.
“Why didn’t you call me? I would have taken the day of too” He sat next to Tina on the bed, ‘that’s exactly why I didn’t call’
“I’m feeling better now its ok, I’ll be fine” Josh placed his hand on top of Tina’s, slowly kissing her. Bette knew what was going on by the silence and the sound of their lips touching. ‘Tina why aren’t you telling him to leave’ Bette thought lying there wishing she could do something that would distract them from making out.

Josh took his jacket off; chucking it on the floor, Bette was hoping now would be the time that Tina stopped him before things got really awkward for her. Tina broke the kiss.
“I’m not feeling too good, maybe some other time?” He looked stunned as if no one has ever said no to him.
“You just said you were feeling better. What is it Tina? It’s like you changed after camp and we don’t see each other anymore. We haven’t had sex since…” He paused to think back “since the last night of camp, it’s been that long” Tina’s heart sank, she swore if it were silent enough she could hear Bette’s heart breaking.

Under the bed Bette fought back tears, the night after kissing Tina she slept with Josh, that same night seconds after sleeping with Josh she told Bette that she shared the same feelings and that she wanted to date her. It took every once Bette had not to get up and walk out of the room at that moment.

“Babe, it’s not the right time of the month for me” Tina lied hoping he’d fall for it. “I’d really like to get some rest, call me later?” she asked giving him a kiss goodbye. “I guess” he kissed her forehead before leaving. As soon as Bette heard the door shut she crawled out from under the bed, Tina ran across the room blocking her exit. “Please, can we talk?”
“I can’t believe you slept with him that night” tears built up in Bette’s eyes threatening to fall.

“I was unsure…you have to understand that I was… I am really confused” She wiped away her tears for her. “I couldn’t get the feeling of your kiss off my lips and you were all I could think about, I needed that one stupid moment with Josh to get you out of my mind but I couldn’t. I kept seeing you lying underneath me, I kept hearing you moan and not him. I needed to feel like I wasn’t falling for someone else, especially a girl…” Tina sighed getting it all out, hoping Bette wouldn’t leave. “I do understand Tina, that’s why I’ve been very patient, I was in the same position at one point and I get how scary it feels. I hate knowing you were with him then with me, it’s hard knowing he is still kissing you and touching you” she cringed at the thought “I don’t want to tell you what to do or pressure you but I don’t want you to date him” She felt stupid for even saying it, they had been together for so long, would she really drop that for Bette?

“I understand. When he calls tonight I’ll ask to meet him and…I’ll break up with him” Bette couldn’t help the tears; she knew Tina was feeling the same as her. She hugged Tina tightly “Thank you, thank you, thank you” she whispered.
