They sit there for a few more moments in silence until Tina looks at her watch. “Right time to go”, she says standing up and putting on her jacket.

“Great, does that mean I can have my paper to read?” Bette says.

“I suppose” Tina says lifting it, and dropping it in front of Bette.

“Why thank you T”

‘There she goes again with “T”, I like it’ Tina thinks.’ “So what should I call you, B?”

‘I can think of something, but it may be too soon for that’ Bette sadistically thinks.

Tina reads this expression on her face, but just waits.

“Bette will do, for now.”

‘For now?’ Tina thinks. Shes stands up to leave, walking past Bette and turning, now facing Bette’s back, leaning in to her ear and whispering.

“OK… Bette? If you ever wake me up like that again, I swear, I will make sure that you regret it. Is that clear?”

“Crystal”, Bette responds, her hand frozen mid air.

“Good girl” Tina responds, loving this switch of roles, and enjoying Bette’s surprise.

Bette just sits frozen, her eyes fluttering until she hears the door close.

“Well that I did not expect” the shocked brunette said to herself.

Tina felt so elated as she slowly walked to the bus stop. ‘This does actually feel really good. I think I may try getting up earlier in future. Damn that woman.’ A few minutes later the bus pulled up and Tina took her place by a window. Her thoughts then drifted to work. What would lie ahead for her today she anxiously thought.

Being the newest and youngest employee in her department, a lot of the time she just felt like everyone’s skivvy. For the most part she didn’t mind, she knew that this would be the case before she took the internship. However there was one individual who seemed to be focusing on her too closely – unfortunately that person happened to be her boss. There were a couple of occasions where Tina was sure the woman was coming on to her, this was even when she was in a relationship with Mark. But ever since the split things had gotten progressively worse to the point where Tina now tried to avoid being on her own in a room with the woman.

She was sure it could be classed as sexual harassment, but Tina knew that she was incredibly lucky to get this break – the only problem was her boss was also very aware of this. She knew it had to be dealt with and quickly, but what would she do.

Of course if a certain brunette knew of this situation, Tina wouldn’t have to worry. But for now Bette was blissfully unaware, though not for long.
