“Only you can answer that” She brushed of my question so easily

I enclosed her hand in my two hands, caused her to gasp for breath. It was nice to know I still had this effect on her. Maintaining eye and hand contact, I stood and walk around to where she was sitting and kneeled in front of her “I never wanted to be in the middle but what hurts more is how I treated you. How I could be so careless when all I should have done was told the truth” she couldn’t look at me. I knew it wasn’t because she was upset with me, it was because she couldn’t bare to be this close to me “Tina, please tell me what to do” I begged her with all of my heart “Tell me what to do and I will do it”

Slowly she brought her gaze back on me “Bette” she was so close I could feel her breath on me lips. She slowly began to close the gap between us. We both knew we couldn’t do what we wanted, instead her head rested on mind as she played mindlessly with the buttons on my blouse “You need to go home” she said softly “We can’t do this again” the closeness as broken just as fast as it began.

“But..” I try to fight her but I was sentenced by her index finger on my lips

“Go home to your fiancé, Bette, be happy”

“I am happy with—“

“It would have never worked”

Liar.

“How do you know that?” I asked, barely audible “We could have—“

“What, Bette? Ran away together so no-one could find us, take me to a secluded island somewhere? Sometimes you irritate me so much in this fantasy world you create, Bette. She is or should I say was my best friend for 15 years and I ruined everything”

“It took the 2 of us”

“She could only forgive one of us”

I wasn’t ready to go. Not yet “I’m sorry” She tried to pull her hand away but I fought it “Forgive me” I pleaded, pulling her up with me. She had her eyes closed, she couldn’t take looking at me, I knew why. I tucked her loose golden locks of hair behind her ear, I didn’t look away, not even for a second. My heart was pounding as I entered into dangerous territory, closing the gap between us, my lips lingered by her ear “Forgive me” Hearing a small moan leave her lips “I was a coward” I couldn’t help myself, all this time away from her I had to—I just couldn’t resist resting my lips on her neck, nestling my head into the nook of her neck.
