"That comment bothered you, really?"

"Yes it did. But, you don’t have to worry about that. I’m not heartbroken you know. You’re a foxx, Tina. Who wouldn’t go head over heels for you. You’re HOT."

"Henry," Tina blurts out.

"What?"

"Henry doesn’t fall head over heels for me. He barely notices me."

"You could’ve fooled me. The night you threw that dinner party, he seemed into you then. I think he loves you, Tina."

"Yeah, right. Henry only loves his son. Falling in love with a woman is something he’s never come close to doing."

"Do you love him?" Bette asked.

"No, of course not," Tina replies. "I only love two people in my life. And you’re one of them," Tina nudges Bette.

Smiling, Bette says, "I love you too, T."

"Why did Jodi leave?" Tina asked, curiously.

"Because, we had a minor argument. I’m sure it’s nothing serious you know. She thinks I’m too controling you know. What does she know? She’s only known me for two fucking weeks. That’s not enough time to develope a profile on me if she–"

"You are controling, Bette. You can be a maniac at times if things don’t go your way."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. But, I’ve learned to adapt to your style and in the past I’ve cared enough to bypass any events, parties, or gatherings that you’ve happened to put together overnight. But, I’d give anything to be with someone like that," Tina replies, stroking Bette’s soft curls.

"Really?" Bette locks eyes with her. She read the seriousness in Tina’s hazel eyes.

DING-DONG!

"Do you mind if I used the bathroom?" Tina asked.

"You don’t have to ask. Go ahead," Bette says, walking toward the door. She opens the door and is taken back at the sight of seeing Jodi.

"I’m sorry if I upset you," Jodi says, steping in and kissing Bette. Bette steps back momentarily and smiles shyly at her. For the first time in her life, she’d be confused, as though she were caught between two worlds that seemed to collide head first.

"Bette!" Tina calls out, walking into the livingroom. She’s startled when she sees Jodi again. Smiling, although she didn’t want to, she waves and says, "Hi, Jodi."

"Hello, again," Jodi, replies, turning toward Bette and embracing her.Bette locks eyes with Tina and wasn’t sure what to do or say. Her mind was confused working overtime, with trying to fit the pieces to her puzzle inside her head.

"I should go," Tina says, grabbing her purse, car keys, and wine glass. "Do you mind if–"

"Sure," Bette replies, cutting her off. As Tina made her way past Bette, she locks eyes with her one last time, before walking through the door. As Bette watches her go, Jodi follows her gaze. She simultaniously gazes at Bette and Tina wondering what it was that she happened to miss.
