“First of all, yourself is good enough. Second of all, Tina… I… I know how you feel. I feel the same.” Bette said.

Tina’s mouth fell open. Of all the possible scenarios she had imagined, this wasn’t one of them. “Really?” She said, barely above whisper.

“Yes, but I can’t begin anything with you right now. I am still married. I don’t want to cheat on Diego. I just can’t do that.” Bette said. Tina looked down.

“I understand.” Tina said, tears threatening to spill. Bette took the blonde’s hand in hers.

“I am not happy in my marriage, Tina. I am 100 times happier when you are with me for a minute then in the 8 years I am married to him. Diego is a good man but he doesn’t give me what I need.”

“What do you need?” Tina asked. Bette sighed, shaking her head.

“I don’t know, but I don’t have what I need right now.” Bette said.

Tina looked to their hands, locked together, and then into Bette’s eyes. “What now?”

Bette smiled. “I think I’ll just have to know some things…Do you want to be with me?”

“Yes.” Tina answered, loud and clear.

“Are you prepared to wait for a few weeks?” Bette asked.

“Yes.”

“Are you okay with the fact that I have three children?”

“Yes.”

“Then, I will talk to Diego and see what happens then.” Bette said.

“What are you going to tell him? I mean we haven’t done anything yet.” Tina told her.

Bette sighed. “I… I really like you Tina and Diego… I just… we were forced to stay together and make something good from it, you know? We did the best we could and we love each other but on my side, this is just friendship, friend love, you know? I only feel friendship for him and you know all the sides there are on a marriage and with a lot of them, I don’t feel comfortable. I have thought about divorce before, you know, but I didn’t have a reason to do it. I figured that if I had a sweet husband, a good father and a friend I didn’t have a reason to divorce him. Yes, I had to do things I didn’t and still don’t like. Nevertheless, I was reasonably happy. But now, Tina, even if we don’t work out, I have taken the chance. Maybe I can become fully happy. Tina, have you thought about what it’s going to be like? Being with me? I come with kids, okay. I come with a past. This isn’t just some small thing if you are really serious about this.” Bette said.
