Tina had a tendency to sometimes overshare. She needed an outlet to talk to her friends but she also wanted to respect Bette’s wishes as well. That was one of the things Bette used to grumble about because Alice had a big fucking mouth. 

“That’s none of our business, Al,” Dana chided. 

“It most certainly is our business,” Alice retorted.

Tina raised her eyebrows.

“Your relationship with Bette impacts all of us. When you left, we were the ones here to pick up the pieces.”

Tina felt the sting of Alice’s words.

“Al!”

“What? All I’m saying is we are all invested. We all want you back together. We all love both of you very much.”

“I love you too. And you’re right. This involves all of you too. I’m sorry for the way I left and for putting everyone in the middle of our mess.”

“Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now…why the fuck were you feeling vulnerable?”

Tina chuckled.

“We slept in the same bed last night.”

“Ooh la la,” Dana said.

“It’s about fucking time. Did you rock her world? Or did she rock yours? Or was it a mutual world rocking?” Alice cheesed.

Dana lifted her eyebrows up and down with a smirk. Tina rolled her eyes. 

“It wasn’t like that.”

“Booooooo. What happened?” Alice asked.

“We had a great date. We talked. Held hands. Flirted. It was perfect. When we got back to the house, Bette said she didn’t want the night to end.”

“Way to go, Porter,” Alice whooped. 

Alice and Dana high fived. Tina laughed. 

“So, we cuddled up on the couch, watched a movie and shared some things we had never told each other before. By the way Al, I’m sorry for blaming you for eating my blueberry pie.”

“Wow…I told you I didn’t eat it. Porter finally fessed up, huh?”

“She did. I can’t believe she did that to you.”

“Eh. It’s alright. I got to meet Charliz Theron. All is forgiven.”

Tina rolled her eyes. 

“Anyways, last night was really beautiful and emotional. There were tears and laughter. More tears. More laughter.”

“That sounds really nice, Tina,” Dana smiled.

“It was, Dane. It was sweet. Then I got overwhelmed. I was holding her. We were so close. We almost kissed. And I couldn’t take it anymore. So I abruptly ended the night. Then the next thing I knew, she was climbing into bed with me.”
