«Hey.»
«Hi.»
«Wild party, huh?» Bette said, trying to break the ice.
Tina turned around, seeing Phyllis dancing with a woman.
She chuckled.

Bette found it so damn sexy.
Tina then said: «I thought you weret doing anything tonight»
«I wasn’t.»
«Where’s jodi? Is she here?»
«Um, no, she didn’t want to do a work thing, and Phyllis is work for us.»
«Right.»
Tina bit her lips. They were nervous.
Then Bette asked something she didn’t aspect.
But she couldn’t deny she was hoping it to happen.
«Tina? Do you want to get out of here?»
Tina just smirked giving her a look that said ‘I know what you mean’ and followed the awesome brunette that was just a few steps ahead.
Shane and Alice, whom was still at the party, noticed Tina’s absence.
«Where’s Tina?»
«I don’t know, maybe she scored!»
She surely did, Alice!

Without knowing how, the two of them found themselves at Tina’s.
Bette had never been there but she felt comfortable, like if she was automatically familiar with everything that belonged to Tina.
Tina invided her to sit at the table.
«Tea?»
«Sounds nice» Bette smiled.
She never felt so nervous.
As strange it may sounds, Bette Porter was really-really nervous.
But, in a good way. It felt like a teenager who fell in love for the first time and doesn’t know what to do.
The brunette, slowly left her finger play with the plate in front of her, on the table. Then quickly pulled her hand back, as she saw Tina approaching.
«You can’t stay too long, I have to be on set at seven in the morning»
«Yeah, I know. I know» Bette said.
Her voice low. You could barely hear her.
The brunette looked down at her hands, that were placed on the table, while the executive producer filled up their cups with some tea.
Then the dean managed to break the silence. «So this thing’s really going through? I mean Jenny’s going to be directing a movie?»
She just picked out the first thing that passed through her mind.
Or at least, the first thing that didn’t have anything to do with Tina and her.
«Apparently» that was Tina’s short response.
She knew Bette, indeed, had everything else in her mind.
As their eyes finally met, Tina gave her a further glance, just to look deeper in her eyes and let her know she was willing to know what she wanted to say.
Bette finally got the message.
And shyly admitted: «I don’t know what to do»
«You’re in love with Jodie, right?» she asked. She already knew the answer, but she just wanted to hear it coming from Bette’s mouth.
«I adore her. And I respect and admire her but…»
«But what?» Tina said, even if she knew, she was strictly astonished.
