It was already eight in the evening and she knew even if it’s already ten in Austin, Tina might still be awake at this time. She had tried calling Tina a few hours earlier to tell her everything about the final interview for the Wentworth Scholarship but her cell phone was off and when she tried calling the phone in the lodge it just rang and rang, she figured maybe the blonde’s meeting with the therapist was kind of hard and she needed some time alone so the brunette thought she’d call later in the evening.

She brought the phone and a glass of wine in the terrace and sat on the lounger.  The sky looked really nice this evening with some bright stars and the air was a little bit chilly. She tried first the telephone number in the lodge and just a few seconds she heard a soft voice on the other line

“Hello…”

“Hi…”

Hearing that single word, Bette knew that today hadn’t been that good for the blonde “Tee, are you okay?”

Tina had been sitting on the soft couch in the balcony for almost an hour now just soaking in the feel of the beautiful evening while her mind was filled with million things “Not really”

“I hate that I’m not there with you”

The blonde sighed, “You just don’t know how I wish you are here with me right now Bette”

The brunette bit her lip, she really wanted to be with the hazel eyed beauty but at this point she couldn’t just fly back and leave everything especially now that she was waiting for the result of the Wentworth scholarship screening process and she also needed to stay for another week or two until she was sure that everything was okay with their new business venture. She realized that it would be hard for the blonde but she knew she had to be honest with her

“Is there anything that I can do?” the brunette asked, her voice very soft

Bette wanted to ask what it was that’s bothering the blonde but she knew it’s better for her to just let the blonde open up rather than her asking the question

Hearing those words from Bette caused a lone tear to roll on her cheek “I just want to hear your voice”
