It wasnt until hours later that Bette realized that Tina hadnt asked her about the bruise. This was weird because it was now a freaky green. Looking at it in the mirror Bette sucked in her breath, guess she could hide it with cover-up. However doing anything was the last thing on Bettes mind, all she really did after coming home was wander around the house until she collapsed on the sofa. Draining. That was the word to describe the entire situation, emotionally and physically draining. If Bette was drained how did Tina feel? Bette agonized over that, she certainly showed signs of strain. But Tina kissed her.even though it was a very limp one, it was still a kiss. Bette lay on that sofa and tried to clear everything.everything except the exact scent of tangy peachesgold hairthose clear blue eyes. Bette was so caught up in her fantasy that it wasnt until she moved her legs a bit did she realize the stain. Looking closer, and then feeling in-between her legs Bette yelled out profanity. Her period came early. Rising now Bette looked at the sofa, thank god no blood there. It made sense now that she felt so sick to her stomach earlier, all that couldnt just have been the effect of being near Tina. Waddling into the bathroom she peeled off all her clothes, Bettes body was warm from the earlier hot afternoon. Rolling up a handful of tissue she cleaned herself up, ripping open the new pads she bought a few days earlier. Bette hoped Tina didnt suddenly want to have ***** spontaneously, even though that was unlikely Bette didnt rule it out. Sometimes straight people just jumped in to get the first time over with. Speaking of which, Bette thought about Tina=straight. She was sure that sometime in Tinas life she was tempted, otherwise she wouldnt have responded to Bette like that. Bette guessed that she probably awakened something in Tina. She hoped so. Bette resolved to herself that she would have a good long straight-up talk about everything; she was going to tell Tina what they both knew all along, that she was attracted to her. It would seem more official in words though so Bette nodded to herself; yes thats what she would do. Bette wanted to see Tina right away, but decided to give it a couple of days. Then she would call her for a walk in the greenway that was situated near Bettes home. It was beautiful but people hardly went in it, it was a little small but had a wonderful route. It was private but not stifling. Bette felt giddiness rush down her toes when thinking about walking down a secluded path with Tina.
