All the Small Things–Chapter 9
“What everybody else wants to know, actually,” Phyllis said. “What’s going on?”
Bette paused for a long time and studied Phyllis’ face. Alright. She could trust her boss. “Well, it has a lot to do with my housemate. You know, Tina?”
“Tina.” Phyllis replied. Bette nodded. “What about her?”
“I don’t know.” Bette said. Phyllis raised an eyebrow. Bette waited a full thirty minutes before she quivered. “I think I’m falling in love with her. I don’t know. Maybe it’s because we spend a lot of time together. Or maybe it’s because we live in the same house. Maybe it’s because we know a lot about each other and have a lot of things in common. I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you ask her out?” Phyllis said, shrugging. “You have a reputation.”
“It’s only been four months.”
“It can be twelve and you still won’t be ready.” Phyllis replied flippantly.
“She’s straight, Phyllis.”
“But she stayed in your house, when you offered her to.” Phyllis said, putting her mug down on a coaster. “She works in Hollywood. She could have stayed anywhere she wanted.”
“That doesn’t mean anything. We’re friends.”
“Friends sometimes make the best lovers.”
“Yes, and sometimes they make bitter, suicidal exes.”
“What if she’s attracted to you?”
“Phyllis, just because I told you she was moody after the date I had…” Bette said, stopping mid-sentence after realizing what she just said. But it was true. Bette was moody after Tina’s date. Not that Tina looked like she wasn’t affected by Bette’s date. Tina was actually unbearable last weekend. Phyllis smiled slightly as she watched Bette deal with her realization.
“So, what are you going to do now?” Phyllis inquired, stirring her coffee.
“I don’t know.” Bette slumped in confusion. “But I am really fucking sick of being stifled. I’m going to tell her tonight, and she would have to live with it. Yeah. She’s going to have to live with it.” She looked at Phyllis and smiled. “Thank you for having me over.”
Phyllis watched as the dean of the Art School walked out of her office and she grinned slightly, stirring the contents of her mug. A happy Bette Porter was a wonderful sight to see.

I just caught up and boy, Bette and Tina can really be dense at times. It looks as though they may begin to step closer to girlfriends instead of house mates.
