“Ammm, could you mention it to Bette when she asks what’s wrong?” Sam begged.

“Sure” Tina replied dryly.

‘Maybe I should call or send flowers. God! I hate this!!’ Tina thought

“Tina you have an emergency meeting in five minutes with Aaron.” Her assistance said.

“What?? What about?” Tina asked.

“He said he’d be right with you.”

‘Fuck that’s just what I need, I can’t concentrate! And he’ll be rambling.’ 

Tina sat with her back to the door trying to calm down, she heard the door opened. Mastering her fake smile she got up.

“Aaron!” Tina said, turning around seeing Bette there, with flowers, chocolate a teddy bear, balloons that said ‘happy anniversary’ and a wrapped box.

“I… I didn’t really now what’s appropriate for this kind of fighting.” Bette mumbled, looking at her feet. She saw Tina looking at the balloons. “They… they didn’t have one that says ‘sorry I’m an ass’ I know, I asked.” Bette said.

“Do I choose one?” Tina couldn’t help but smile.

“Well, no, they’re all for you silly.” Bette said, smiling.

“Bette I…”

“Tina I…” They started at the same time.

They laughed awkwardly. “Aaron isn’t coming?”

“No, I hope it’s ok.”

“Better then ok.”  Tina smiled.

“I’m so sorry Tee, I over reacted.” Bette said.

“No, I over reacted.”

“Yes you did.” Bette said, Tina just laughed.

“But I continued it. You tried to make peace and I ignored it because…”

“You were hurt Bette it’s understandable.”

“No, it’s not. We said we’ll never go to bed angry and I just… I mean I heard you cry yourself to sleep and I wanted to cuddle you, take you in my arms and tell you it’s ok. But I just… held on to the anger, for no reason.”

“Well I was way out of line! I mean, I wanted it Bette, every time, anywhere we were. I wanted it. I enjoyed it. I’m so sorry.”

Bette put her presents on Tina’s desk, going to Tina.

“I hate fighting with you.” Bette whispered. “I hate it so much Tee, I feel so out of sorts when we fight. Like I’m walking in limbo. And not the game Angie likes” Bette smiled.
