Chapter 2
Bette nods again.
(Bette) Well did you want something to eat before you go?
(Tina smiles) Thank you but I’m going to drop home first, so I’ll pick something up there
Tina’s phone starts to ring again and she sighs as she looks back at the screen. She meets Bette’s eyes and raises her eyebrows as she answers, and Bette smiles.
(Tina) Michael, I’m half an hour away. You’ll have to hold things together until then
Tina looks back at Bette as she continues speaking into the phone.
(Tina) Hold on a second Michael
Tina holds the phone against her chest and focuses her attention on Bette.
(Tina) I’m sorry I really do need to run
(Bette smiles) It’s fine
They smile at each other.
(Tina) Thank you for the coffee
Bette nods.
(Bette) Did you want to do this again? I mean, I would like to…
Bette is cut off as a loud voice is heard from Tina’s phone, demanding her attention.
(Tina) Jesus
Tina returns the phone to her ear and half turns from Bette.
(Tina) Michael, you need to try and keep it together. I’ll be there as soon as I can but you can handle this, I have confidence in you
Bette glances at her as she sips from her mug, impressed by Tina’s level-headed demeanour and calm reassurance of her colleague as she handles an obviously stressful situation.
Tina nods as she continues to listen to Michael.
(Tina) OK, if you need me to, I can talk to them on my way there
Tina nods again and looks towards Bette, who has turned away as she gets herself a glass of water at the sink. Tina’s gaze lingers on her for a moment, and she takes a breath as she watches her before continuing to talk into the phone.
(Tina) It’s fine. Just add them to the call, I’m walking to my car now. Yes, I’ll stay on the line, put them through when you’re ready
Tina picks up her handbag from the kitchen counter and retrieves her keys from inside. She pulls her bag over her shoulder and moves towards the hallway, and Bette turns her head and they meet eyes. Tina mouths an apology to her as she continues past her with her phone still held to her ear.

Wow, so Miss Tina is playing coy with Bette. Enjoyed her time with Bette but decided it was nothing more than the many other nights she had spent with others. Rather rude… but okay. Let’s see what happens in the future..
Thanks for the chapter…
