Eric: You’ve been swimming?

Tina: Yeah. We all decided that we would go for a swim so I took a dip with them

Eric: Oh I see is that why your cellphone was off right?

Tina looks at Eric…Before she can step close to him he had already turned and left the room…The last that she heard was the front door slam…She changes into her pj’s and sits down on the bed…She stares out the bedroom window into the darkness…

MEANWHILE AT BETTE’S HOUSE

The brunette gets out the car and enters inside…She cleans and straigntens up before going to bed…She showers and gets changed when her cellphone rings…She pulls the covers back and gets into bed…She takes the call

Bette: Hey Alice

Alice: Hey with you. So how was the date?

Bette: It was good to be exact

Alice is excited

Alice:So what happened?

Bette: Oh we just had dinner and went for a swim. A very quick one

Alice: You two did it huh?

Bette: No we almost

Alice: So what interrupted you two?

Bette: Well I did. I told her that I couldn’t do it

Alice: What? Are you crazy? Bette you two were basically naked together and you turned down her down

Bette: Basically. Alice I told you about how I felt about Tina. I want her foreever not as a damn bootycall. I’m not like I used to be before.I want someone to share my life with. And the person that I want is her. And I’m not about to break up a happy home

Alice: Bette did it occur to you that she maynot be happy where she is. Come on if someone was good to you then you wouldn’t leave even during the bad times

Bette thinks to herself

Bette: Maybe but I want her to be sure that this where she wants to be. I’ll see what happens in the next days to come. From there if she still wants to pursue me we’ll go from there.

Alice: Ok I’ll drop it. I understand that you really like her and if you wish to take your time I’m here if you need me

Bette laughs

Bette: Thanks and you can count on me as well

Alice: Thanks. So I know that you must get ready for work so I’ll let you get to bed and I’ll call you tomorrow

Bette: Thank you because I am tired. But have a nice night and I’ll wait to hear from you

Alice: Will do. Bye

Bette: Bye

Bette closes her phone…She puts the light device on her night stand….She sets the alarm clock and shuts the light off…She lays her head against the clean linen..She thinks of Tina and if she and her were really meant to be…She thought about if they were meant to be how she would be…Especially on the night if she and Tina were to make love for the first time…How she would set the mood and the things that she would do…She thought of months and years after that before soon closing her eyes with a glimpse of Tina last in her mind…She sleeps…
