But

I did come here for a reason. I just couldn’t remember it right now.

She began to bite on her bottom lip, if only she knew what that did to me “Bette, what are you doing here?”

I didn’t know if she was asking because she cared or if she was annoyed that I was standing on her front step in the middle of the night “I.. “ Jesus Bette say something—Anything but instead I let out a nervous chuckle “I really have no idea”

I think she could sense my apprehension and confusion because she opened up the door, allowing me to see her completely, which was my undoing. I could feel the familiar ache between my legs, the intense gaze we had was undeniable. No wonder it was so hard to keep what we had a secret.

“You really shouldn’t be here”

“I know” She was so right, I shouldn’t be here “It was wrong of me”

“She will kill you if she knew you were here”

“I kn..” I go to repeat myself, but she cuts me off

“Scratch that.. she would kill me and then you”

“I just needed you to tell me something” suddenly finding my voice. Took me long enough.

She tilted her head to the side “I really.. really think you should leave” I could tell she was fighting between her head and her heart.

“Please”

“I can’t and won’t do this with you” her expression was one of anger but I figured that she had already opened the door for me so what was the point in walking away now?

I take a step towards her, seeing how much hurt I had caused her, I needed to comfort her in some way but I was thrown when she stepped away from me, like she was scared to be touched by me “Tina…”

“You should come in.. If you aren’t going to leave then I would rather not have the neighbours witness another scene”

She was so right but I hesitated when she gestured for me to enter.

“Are you comin’ or are you leaving? Make up your mind Bette”

I look around, I don’t know if I was doing it to make sure I wasn’t being watched or looking to run back to my car but nothing was going to stop me from this.. I had already gotten further than I thought I would have “I’m coming”
