As soon as Tina said those awful words to Bette she felt her heart stop beating, and the look on Bettes face scared Tina even more than her own words. Tina knew she didnt mean what she said to Bette, she was just mad at Bette and that woman that came over here to night, but before Tina could explain any of this to Bette. Bette left without saying a word to Tina. Tina didnt know what to do, so she did nothing at all.

Bette sat in her car parked on the side of the road in front of the park where she had ask Tina to marry her so many yeas ago. Her thoughts was not clear, she didnt know how to take what Tina had said to her to night, but she knew that Tina was not ready to have a relationship with her at this time in her life. Bettes thoughts were interrupted by her cell phone ringing, in the back of her mind she hoped that it was Tina but Bette knew that her luck was not that good.

Bette: Hello

Sade: Bette is that you?

Bette: Yesbut Sade how did you get my cell phone number?

Sade: I just called Tina and she gave it to me.

Bette: Oh, so what can I do for you Sade?

Sade: Bette you sound upset, is there anything that I can do for you?

Bette: Only if you can turn back the hands of time.

Sade: Well as you know I cant do that but I would like to give you a shoulder to lean on if you need to, we was pretty good friends before we became lovers, right?

Bette: Yeah, we were good friends but Sade I dont think you are the right person for me to lean on, anyway I am sure I will be okay.

Sade: Bette if you need to talk and get everything out in the open I will listen if you need me to and I just want you to know you can trust me. I would like to show you that you can trust me and yes, I am not going to lie, I do want you back, I thought we were good together and for almost four years we were and then you ended our relationship to come back to LA and work for Peggy Peabody without even asking me if it was a good idea or not and before you say anything I know the real reason you wanted to come back here and wasnt to open up Peggys new art gallery it was for Tina, am I right?

Bette: Sade thank you for your offer to listen if I need to talk but once again I dont think that you are the right person for me to be talking to and as for why I am back in LA that is none of your concern and for the way I remember it you left me to run off with someone to Paris but I am over that Sade, there are no hard feelings but as for Tina, I do want her back, now Sade it is late and I have and early meeting with Peggy in the morning.

Sade: Bette I was stupid to run off to Paris with that woman and I regret it everyday and I know how much I hurt you and that is why I came to LA, to make it up to you and take you home to New York where you belong.

Bette: Where I belong is where I want to be and where I want to be is here in LA with Tina and my son Kentor and thats how it is going to be Sade.

Sade: Bette you know that you played hard to get in New York too and I see you are playing that role again so I will play along and win you over like I didnt the first time and even if that means fighting your little Tina for you and Bette you know yourself I dont lose and I get what I want and Bette Porter you are what I want, so I hope Tina is ready to play ball. Goodnight my love.

Before Bette could say a word Sade hung up the phone. Bette sat there in shock because she knew that Sade wouldnt give up but Bette thought that Sade didnt even have a fight on her hands because it didnt seem like Tina wanted her anyway but Bette told herself that she is not going to give on the life that she can have with Tina, because she knows that Tina is who she wants, needs, and loves not Sade.
