“Dane there’s someone at the door I’m gonna have to go I’ll call you tomorrow”. Tina says

“Yeah ok speak tomorrow”. Dana says, as Tina hangs up the phone and goes over to the door.

She opens the door just a little, and then she smiles when she sees who’s at the door. “Hey. What you doing here you don’t live this way do you”. Tina asks not really caring why she’s there she’s just glad to see  her beautiful face.

“I know. But I thought while I was in the neighbourhood I’d pop up and say hi”. Bette says, she has a bottle of wine in one hand and a bag of take out in the other.

“It looks like you’ve come to say more than hi”. Tina says laughing indicating to the bag in Bette’s.

“Well what’s saying hi if you don’t bring food and a nice bottle of wine”, Bette exhales “and since we didn’t finish our meal the other night I thought we could finish it tonight”. She says looking into Tina’s eyes.

“Yeah, that sounds good. Come in and I’ll get the plates”. Tina says and smiled at Bette glad to see her. For some reason Tina feels whole now like before she saw Bette tonight it was like she missed her. Really missed her like someone would miss someone that they loved.

“Ok great. I mean I hope I didn’t intrude and that you’re just being polite to me”. Bette says setting the food down on the table.

“Don’t be daft. Actually I’m glad to have the company my flat mate is on s tournament”. Tina opens the wine and pours a glass for her and hands a glass to Bette. “Here’s to something new”. Bette looks up into Tina’s eyes after she says it.

“Here’s to something, new”. Bette repeats to Tina. “I hope it brings you happiness”. And they lightly tap the glasses together.

They spend hours talking about childhood memories and all fun things they done growing up. Then Tina changes the subject to Bette’s sexuality.

“When did you first realise that you were gay Bette? I mean if you don’t mind me asking”. She quickly adds at the end.

“No I don’t mind”. Bette says2i was in high school I just knew I wasn’t attracted to boys, and then when I was 15 I met the most beautiful woman in the world. Well until now of course”. Tina blushes a little thinking “Is she flirting with me”. “We dated for about 2 years until she slept with her maths tutor”. Bette says looking a little sad thinking about it all again.

“I’m sorry, well kind of not”. Tina adds the last part really quietly thinking Bette didn’t hear cause she was on her way to the kitchen but she turns around it startles Tina at first but she gets to her feet and takes a step towards Bette there standing really close. Bette leans in to kiss Tina, and Tina leans in to kiss Bette.

BANG BANG

Tina jumps back “What the fuck”.

“Who’s that?” Bette asks.
