Bette seemed to relax a bit but Tina wanted to break the tension even more. She playfully dragged a finger down Bette’s neck and played with a black threaded necklace around her neck.

"So . . did you mean what you said?"

Bette raised an eyebrow, "About you being all mine? Of course"

Tina smirked, "Not that. I’m talking about what you said last night"

Bette scrunched up her eyebrows and Tina’s smirk grew into a full smile. Bette clearly had no idea.

"When you said you were falling for me"

Bette’s eyes widened as Tina looked up and couldn’t help but chuckle at her girlfriend’s expression.

"You heard me?"

Tina smiled and nodded, "So did you mean it?"

Bette looked at her seriously for several seconds. A grin formed on her face as she shrugged playfully and shook her head.

"Naaaah"

Tina’s mouth dropped as Bette laughed and rolled off the blonde, trying to scramble off the bed. Tina laughed too as she crawled to tackle Bette back down to the bed, stopping her escape. The two women laughed and rolled all over the bed, kissing and making love as if they couldn’t live without each other.

BOOM BOOM BOOM

Loud knocking awoke Eric from a deep sleep as he rolled off the bed and nearly tripped as he tugged on a pair of pants before walking to the door.

"Who is it baby?"

Eric ignored the voice coming from his bedroom as the knocking grew louder, angering him.

"Who the fuck is it?"

He grabbed a bat he had sitting beside the couch and swung open the door.

His eyes widened at the sight before him. The same homeless man from before stood in front of him, not saying a word. Eric looked at him in shock, clearly not knowing what to say.

"Are you gonna invite me in or stay looking at me with that dumbass look on your face?"

Eric blinked and swallowed as he took a step back so that the man could enter. He gripped his bat tight in hand.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

The man threw himself on Eric’s couch and put his dirty boots on top of the coffee table.
