“It’s easy, you know,” Emily smiled.
Bette looked up. “I know. I know too damn well how easy it is.”
Emily frowned again. “And where did that self-confidence come from?”
“Self-confidence? What are you talking about?”
“I just said it’s easy to love you back and you tell me how easy that is?”
“Wow – what? Love me? Back? What the hell are you talking about?”
For a moment there, Emily looked stunned. The realisation that they were talking about different things made her blush. She groaned.
“Oh dear God. I… I thought you were in love with me too. This is so embarrassing.”
“It’s not,” Bette smiled. So Emily was in love with her? She hadn’t seen that one coming. “It makes things easier, in a certain way.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well… I invited you over because I felt I had to tell you that I was gay. We know everything about each other and I didn’t want to keep it a secret any longer.” A short silence fell before Bette looked up. “So you lied to be as well?”
“It’s hardly a lie. I was just not sure about you – I mean, I did have this feeling you were as well but then there were these signs you were so straight. Probably because you want to be, or your Dad wants you to be.”
“How do you know that? We never talked about this.”
“It’s clear from what I’ve heard and seen. Anyway – it’s out there now. I’m in love with you, and since you are not kissing me passionately now, it means you don’t feel the same.”
“I – I don’t know, I mean, I have never thought about this because, because…”
“There is someone else?”
Bette nodded. “Look – another thing I wanted to tell you. You know ms Kennard, from history?”
Emily nodded.
“Well…” Bette told her the entire story, from the beginning and with all its developments, the ups and downs, the pain and the joy it brought, how it dominated everything, how it had caused her strange behaviour of late… everything.
After Bette had finished her story, Emily didn’t seem to know what to say. After a while, she did.
“I can’t say that it’s totally unexpected – I mean, you do look at her in a certain way, but -”

Genner, your wonderful story continues to intrigue as well as tease me. I too, long for a meeting between the LGBT staff advisor and president of the club. Perhaps Tina will suggest a meeting now after seeing Emily with Bette in the hall? With the continued recurrence of Tina’s feelings (regardless of the man she’s with), I wonder how long she will be able to deny her strong connection. You’re such a talented writer. Thanks for sharing your gift with all of us. PPVS
