«I’m so glad you guys met me. I was feeling really lonely» Tina admitted. She was spending some time with Alice, Shane and Angie at the Planet.
«Oh, my God, that’s why i called shane» Alice replied.
«Well, ladies, that’s what friends are for, what can i say?» Shande added. «But we’re still going to Phyllis’s tonight, right?»
Tina affirmed, «Yeah. Isn’t bette going to be there?»
«Is that– I thought you guys were getting along lately?» Alice asked, a little puzzled.
«Yeah. Yeah. It’s not a problem» Tina stated.
Of course it’s not a problem. And they got ‘really’ along lately.
They started to talk about Tasha, until Tina’s phone rang.
It was Bette.
Who was having second thoughts about breakfast.
Tina aswered it, «Yep». Avoiding to say her name.
«Do you still want to meet at the planet?» Bette asked, with a grin.

«I’m here already…» Trying to act with nonchalance. She gazed at her friends and added, «With Alice and Shane»
«Well, I really…» Bette left out a sigh «I really wanna see you, Tina»
‘Hello? There’s Alice. She’s a big mouth. We can’t be seen together.’
«I can’t right now» she said, even if she wanted to accept the invitation, so badly.
«Well, what about tonight? I don’t–I don’t have any plans.»
«I’m going to your boss’s house.»
The conversation is suddenly interrupted by her little girl, «Puppieees»
«Those aren’t fucking puppies» Alice uttered.
The Planet was having a ‘Rats-Attack’ and sadly, Tina had to hang up the phone, saying she would’ve called her back.

Bette sighed, thinking about what to do as she picked up her newspaper and made her way to the garden.
She spent the whole afternoon at home.
Sitting in the pool chair.
Reading, and thinking.
She, actually, couldn’t read. Her thoughts distracted her.
She kept staring at the same page for several minutes.
Until she heard her phone buzzing.
She kept the phone and read the text message.
‘I hope you can make it and meet me at your bosses house, tonight. T’

Tina didn’t get any reply from Bette.
She was afraid she was having second thoughts and that maybe she was starting to regret it. After all, they were having an affair.
The blonde was almost shocked about that.
She, once, was in Jodie’s shoes.
She never seen this coming. But, it felt right.
Everything always felt right with Bette.

Shane, Alice and she were at the party.
Tina was close to accept the fact that Bette couldn’t be there.
But, as soon as she thought that… she saw the familiar beauty.
There she was.
Beautiful, sexy.
How can it be possible to look so amazing?
Tina gazed at her, smiled and slowly approached her.
Their smiles. And their eyes, full of love and passion.
