Provocations Linger-chapter 3
“Why do you think I asked the girls to come here instead of meeting them at the Planet, Bette? I’ve worked really hard to make some places in my life that are just ‘mine.’ I can’t have you messing that up right now.”
Bette knew that was only part of the reason. Tina hadn’t chanced running into her at the Planet since leaving her. She doubted very seriously Tina had been there once.
“I don’t want to ‘mess’ anything up for you Tina. It’s just that it’s been over two months and I haven’t heard your voice or seen you…” She shrugged, gesturing helplessly at the blonde, still not able to believe Tina hadn’t communicated with her once.
“If I hadn’t come today… Did you have any plans to talk to me? Or is this just it, I fucked up so…. Fuck Me?”
“You fucked up pretty good Bette!” Tina raised her voice back, pausing she added quietly,
“I can’t do this here.” Massaging her temples, and squeezing her eyes tightly, she tried to think. Taking another deep breath she looked at the brunette staring back at her. ‘Fuck it,’ she thought.
“Come inside. I’ll give you a quick tour, you can ‘see’ where I live and then you have got to go home Bette.”

2008- American Airlines Fight 5
The ring tone that signaled Tina’s message had barely ended before Bette was opening her phone. The brunette was still for only a moment as she read. The next sound Tina heard was the audible unclasping of Bette’s seatbelt. Tina smothered a smile, both flattered and amused by Bette’s apparent eagerness.
Gathering her drink and briefcase, Bette stood up, glancing toward her. When she found the blonde already watching her Bette held her gaze, first with a curious look Tina couldn’t quite read and then, moving toward her, with a sexy half smile Tina understood completely.
The blonde swallowed, less amused. It had been a very long time since she’d been treated to Bette’s swagger. Bette stood above her in the aisle for a moment, enjoying Tina’s blush. Finally she bent down, tucking her case under the aisle seat as she looked up at her.
“Will this be in your way?” she asked in a whisper, still offering the half smile.
“It’s fine,” Tina assured her dryly, trying to summon some annoyance with Bette’s confidence.
Bette laughed. Tucking her self into the aisle seat beside the blonde, she couldn’t help but think of all the flights they had shared together like this.
“Hi Tina,” she smiled again. Her look less flirtatious this time. Tina couldn’t help her own answering grin.
“Hi Bette,” she laughed, shaking her head.
