~Tina~

Tina was excited about her upcoming assignment that she canceled her final meeting for the day and went to The Planet to pick up some chocolate cheesecake to celebrate. She wanted to surprise Bette at work. Even though they had only known each other for a little while Tina wanted to share impending promotion with the beautiful Brunette.

Tina ran into Alice at The Planet and she told her that Bette was in her office sulking because she missed a certain lady. Tina chatted with Alice while she waited for her order. They said their goodbyes and Tina made her way to Bette’s gallery.

As soon as she walked through the door she ran into James.

“Hello James, How are you?” Tina asked

“Hey Tina, I’m doing good, How’s your day going?” James replied

“I’m Great, is Bette in?”

“Yea, she’s in her office. I’m on my way to get her a coffee. Can I get you anything?”

“I’ll take a coffee too. Black, if it’s not too much”

“Never. Go in she’s by herself. Making a call. I’ll be back soon”

“Thanks James” Tina said as she walked away.

She walked to the door, which was halfway open. She raised her hand to knock on the door when she heard the tail end of Bette’s conversation.

“I Love you too Kit, See you soon” Tina heard those words her heart dropped into her stomach and she walked away trying not to cry. She made it to her car and the tears started to pour. She knew that they weren’t together, but it still hurt. She couldn’t picture Bette with anyone else but her.

Just as she started to pull away there was a knock on her window. Tina’s first instinct was to pull away but she couldn’t take her eyes away from Bette’s. Those soulful brown eyes.

“Tina, please open the door,” Bette pleaded.

Tina rolled down her window waiting to hear Bette’s explanation of what happen. Instead Bette put her hand inside and unlocked the door. She turned the car off and opened the door. Bette gently took Tina’s hand and helped her out the car and into her arms. Bette held Tina close while she cried.
