“I guess there is nothing we can do. I’m sorry I yelled at you. This just really threw me off guard.”

“It’s okay, I was too. Do you think she liked it?”

“Oh god Sadie, that’s the last thing I want to think about now. Come on lets get something to eat. I’m starving.”

~Back in the room

Tina took a deep breath.

“I guess we need to talk about what obviously happened.”

“Well to tell you the truth I don’t remember much either. I thought I was just dreaming.”

“So did I.” She didn’t mean to say that out loud. “I mean I thought, I thought, … oh forget it I really thought I was dreaming.” She sat down on the bed next to Bette. “This is crazy.”

“I know. Too bad I don’t remember much, I’m pretty sure I enjoyed it.” She was trying to lighten the mood and Tina just slightly smiled. “Look I’m sorry for what happened the last thing that I want is for me to become between you and your husband.”

“Oh god Eric, what am I going to do, what am I going to tell him?”

“Whoa, whoa, you don’t have to tell him anything. We just had a little bit too much to drink that’s all. We don’t even remember what happened. For all we know we might have passed out before we really did anything.”

They both just looked at each other knowing that they had sex.

“Yeah I guess not. It was worth a shot.”

“Bette I feel horrible.”

“Here come here.” She starts to hug and comfort her. “Look I’m really truly sorry, I never meant for this to happen. This will absolutely, positively never ever going to happen again, okay?”

She looks at Tina’s teary eyes.

“Everything is going to be okay.”

Tina didn’t know what to do. She cried because she actually cheated on her husband and she thought she would never do anything of the sort. She cried of guilt because she wanted to be with Bette again but remember everything this time. She cried because she knew she couldn’t tell Eric and she didn’t want to disappoint her parents.

“Look I’ve still got another week to be here and I’m guessing you do too.”

Tina nods her head.

“Well maybe this should be the last time we see each other. You know it might be a little awkward between all of us.”

That was the last thing Tina wanted.

“No Bette, we were having a good time weren’t we?”

“Yeah but…”

“Bette I just made a new friend and the last thing I want to do is mess it up.”

“Okay than what do you suppose we do?”

“I guess we should just start all over and forget what happened.”

“Okay starting over sounds good and the forgetting part is not a problem since I really don’t remember much, damn wine.”

There she goes again trying to lighten the mood and Tina just nudges her and giggles a little.

“That’s what I like to see, the smile that lightens up the whole room.”

They begin to look at each other again and they could feel themselves beginning to flare up inside again.

“Ahem, well I guess I better uhh…”

“Yeah I think you should.”

“Right” She gets up. “Well I have a few things I need to take care of, will I see you all later?”

“Definitely”

“Okay” She’s about to walk out the door. “So what about Lilly and Sadie?”

“Don’t worry I’ll take care of them.”

“Okay, see you later.” She walks out. And Tina falls back onto the bed and Bette leans against the door and they both exhale.

TBC…
