I should be working. Bette said, gathering the brushes and paints from all around her. I really wish I could talk but there is so much to do.

I run this show, and I say that you can take a break. She tugged at Bettes hand, dragging her to her feet. I wont take that long, you could use the break anyway

I guess. She replied, following along. They found Ms. Gallas office and both took seats on the small couch. Galla proceeded to pour each of them a steaming cup of brown liquid.

So you love her? Galla asked, catching Bette off guard.

I… I do. But I cant exactly show it, its really hard for me. Bette cradled the cup in her hands, staring down into it. I want her to know that I care.

She knows, but itd help if Drew werent in the picture. But you know that already.

Yeah. I just cant find the way to let him go.

I think ***** take it better than you might think. You two are best friends, more so than lovers. I think youd stay friends, he should be accepting of you.

But Ive cheated on him, not with… ***** or anything. But I still cheated, its wrong.

So leave that little part out? Galla suggested, arching a brow. Sure its lying but youve lied to him before.

Although it pained Bette to think about it, she had lied to Drew numerous times. Nothing large like this, but little things. And of course, all the fake orgasms.

Ill take care of the stuff with him tonight, after they finish. Bette nodded, taking a long sip of her coffee. *****, my whole life is screwed up right now.

Dont say that, Galla smiled. Youve got love; youre in love. Dont let anything else bring you down.

Tina doesnt even understand how much I love her. She is second to none, but she thinks that Drew takes over her place in my heart. Ive got to tell her I love her, make it true. Show her what the real Bette Porter is made of. Bette laughed.

It can be arranged. Ms.Galla smirked as she wandered across the room, digging through a file cabinet. She searched papers, eyes roving over each one for only a mere moment before moving onto the next. She found one, her eyes widening. Alrighty, take this.
