“I am not.” Tina whispers and feels tears coming.

“It’s ok babe, we can go and work it out.  Come here.”  Eric holds Tina as he too knows that it was a good relationship that they had and it had runs it course.  He didn’t want to lose Tina, but it was a battle that he wasn’t going to try to win anymore. 

Tina had always been so competitive and stubborn.  She had excelled in school as a photographer and painter.  Also known for her athletic ability on the soccer (football) team, softball, and track team, hell she was just a go getter and liked to win.  Boys were fun to play with and beat at sports, it gave her a thrill.  She was also a team player, so that never left either.  Winning is what she fought for her and her school.

“Eric, I didn’t want to end it this way.  I just can’t anymore.  It’s just lame that we keep on going.  You can keep the Dali and well I think it’d be best if you moved out as soon as you can.  I can’t seem to function well lately either with you around.”  Tina was trying to be honest and saw hurt in Eric’s eyes.

“Fuck Tina, jesus.  Fine.  I will be out by tonight.”  Eric was an established business man and made a great deal of money and compared to Tina well he made more then enough, just she was feisty and won at any battle.

“Sorry Eric, it is easier this way trust me.”  Tina trying to rationalize the situation.

“Says you.”  Eric leaves to go to work. 

“Fuck..oh well.”  Tina hears her cell phone ring.

“Hello?”

“Hi, Can I speak to Tina Kennard please?”  Bette sounding nervous and sheepish.

“This is she.”  Oh my god, is this Bette?

“Hi, Tina, this Bette Porter from other night at the gallery exhibition, do you have a minute?”  Bette trying to calm her nerves and fix her matted hair and knew that better to sleep on her couch at work.

“Hey Bette, how are you?  Yea, I have a few minutes before I leave work.  I take it you got my message?”  Tina wanted to tell her about her dream and was unsure if Bette was a lesbian too or?
