Bette: "Did I hurt you?" She was concerned.

Tina: "I can’t do this…" She retrieves her underwear and slips them back on. Bette watches her like she’s crazy. What the hell just happened and why was Tina acting so weird?

Bette: "Did I do something wrong?" She stood to face the blond.

Tina: "No. This isn’t me Bette. I’m not gay. I’ve never been." She turns to leave and Bette stops her.

Bette: "Hold on…" She turns Tina around to face her. "What’s wrong?"

Tina: "This…." She waves her hand around the room. "Me…you…and this whole situation is so backwards Bette. I barely know you, and I’m about to hop into bed with you."

Bette: "You’ll get to know me over time." She gazes into the blond’s eyes assuring her she was telling her the truth.

Tina: "And how do I know that? Who’s to say that you won’t get a piece and then leave me? I’m no whore!" She raised her voice. Bette’s struck by her sudden attitude and body language. She wouldn’t even let Bette close to her.

Bette: "I won’t leave you if that’s what you’re thinking."

Tina: "That’s what they all say." She looks away.

Bette: "Just give me a chance." The look in her eyes displayed tenderness and lonliness. She didn’t want the blond to leave her in the middle of what could of been a hot night. She’s been into Tina for a while now, and she’s been dying to get her alone. To sleep with her was the last thing, but, this was what Tina kept whispering in her ear the whole night. ‘To go somewhere where they can be alone, together." Tina started with the kissing and hugging, and Bette went along with it. She never saw anything wrong with it. Her boyfriend never payed attention to her the whole night…giving Bette the chance to slip in when he wasn’t paying attention.

Tina: "I have to go…" She reaches for the handle and Bette stops her. "No. I must go." She looks Bette in the eyes, and the brunette knew she was serious, so, she let go and watches Tina disappear through the wooden door. The door closes in her face.

Bette: "FUCK!!!!!!!" She leans up against the door.

Present…

Tina makes her way back out to the party. When she enters the livingroom she spots Eric and walks over to him.

Eric: "Hey…" He embraces her. "Where have to been?"

Tina: "I went to the bathroom. I wasn’t feeling too good." Just then-Tina spots Bette out of the corner of her eye. She looks upset and angry. The brunette ignores her and heads into the kitchen. "Lets go home."

Eric: "Already!" He checks the time. "We just got here."

Tina: "Take me home, please?" She walks over to the door and exits the apartment. Eric sighs and follows her out. Bette watches this from the kitchen and shakes her head.

Bette: "Fuck…" She utters under her breath. "I was so fucking close." She bows her head and bops it to the music playing around her.

To be continued…Should I?
