"I’m sorry Bette. I know I should have spoken to you about it but I did give you the benefit"

"Right, after you nearly chewed my head off for some crap that bitch Monica said"

She reached Bette and remained on her knees as she brought her hands to Bette’s face, trying to make the brunette look at her.

Bette’s hands were still on her hips, her eyes landed everywhere but on Tina. The blonde was desperate for eye contact, it was killing her that Bette refused to look at her.

"Look I’m sorry okay? I know I should have spoken to you about how I felt but its not like you talked me about Sarah"

Bette’s eyes immediately locked with Tina’s and she looked at the blonde with disbelief. She pulled back to walk away and Tina quickly grabbed onto Bette’s shoulders to stop her.

"Wait, wait. I’m sorry. That was stupid, I shouldn’t have said that"

Bette licked her lips again as her eyes teared up. The last thing she wanted to do was cry.

Tina looked at Bette for several seconds before letting out a sighed, "Fuck" and sitting back on her heels. She looked down at her lap, twisting her fingers nervously.

"You’re different with me. I know that, I see it in you. I know you’re trying to change who you were and I’m making that impossible for you but I can’t help it. It just . . it bothers me when I think of you with someone else. I can’t really think clearly sometimes. I’m so crazy about you Bette . ."

Bette turned her head and looked down at Tina as a tear finally escaped and rolled down her cheek. She watched as Tina fiddled with her fingers in her lap.

"Oh Tina . ."

Tina’s eyes widened at the sound of Bette’s voice. She looked up just as Bette grasped her face and leaned in, kissing her lips hard. They fell back onto the bed as Tina moaned softly and tangled her fingers into Bette’s silky hair. Bette ran her hands up and down Tina’s body as the blonde spoke between kisses.
