“No, Tina…..we are going to stay here……” said Henry as he sipped his coffee……

“now sit down, and lets finish…”

Tina sat down on a wim……

“Dayum..” said Kit……. “ he already has you whooped….” ……….

Ten minutes later, Bette entered the Planet, not noticing Henry and Tina…….. She walked up to the counter and ordered her usual coffee…….. “heya kit……..” she said…….

“hey baby girl……how are you today???……..”

“shit…..not that great……I have this huge meeting at the CAC….and I am sooo not prepared…..”

“well, the talk is…….that you spent all night burning Tina’s clothes…..” said Kit

“Who……..told you that?” asked Bette……..

Kit moved her eyes to table 3.……..

“Oh fuck…..it is toooo early in the morning to be seein that shit…….I gotta get to work…….thanks for the coffee kit…….I love ya…….”

Bette turned to walk away…..and bumped into Henry……

“I heard that you burned my girl’s clothes……” he said….. “why would you stoop to do such childish things bette??”

“Nothing that I do…..is any of your business…….move out of my way…….or you will regret it……and this time……..I mean it………”

Henry sneered…….and slid to the side……..Bette walked to the door only to be met by Tina………. “goddamit, I can’t even get out of here without being stopped by someone….what do you want?” she asked……

“did you burn all of my clothes?” asked Tina…….

“ I think so….but you are welcome to go by the house and check……..but um…..I’d advise you NOT to take him with you……..that would not be good……..if I catch him anywhere near my house……..I am going to have him arrested for trespassing..”

“why do you have to be so mean??” asked Tina with tears in her eyes…….

“Why did you have to go and fuck………” and bette turned to look at Henry……. “HIM?”

“Bette, I want us to talk……..I did a lot of thinking last night…”

“Oh really……….where did you stay? With him?”

“NO…….I didn’t……if you must know….”

“I don’t think there is anything to talk about Tina…..you made your choice……..you chose him……..I shoulda known 8 years ago when I took you from a man……that you cant change someone……….”…….

“That is totally not how it is…….” said Tina……….

“I see it like this…….you left me……for…….a ……..man…….and now you want to talk…….because you spent one night thinking……….I…….don’t………think……..so……..tina…….I cannot go through that hurt again…….so……….I……….am going to leave you alone….and let u be……….and further more…….I am not gonna wait around for you to come to your senses……….”

“But…..” said Tina………

“But nothing ……..you heard what I had to say……now, I am going to work………don’t………bother me………” said Bette as she walked out the door…..leaving Tina standing there………

Henry walked over to Tina…….. “you okay baby?” he asked, rubbing her arm……

“Yea….im fine…….we still having dinner tonight right?”

“without a doubt……….I will call you later and we can meet somewhere….”

“ok….” said Tina………

Henry leaned down and planted a small, yet sensual kiss on her lips…..

Tina walked back into the planet and sat at the bar………..

Kit walked over……. “well…..did we enjoy our conversation?”

“Stoppit kit…” said Tina…… “I have no idea where everything went wrong……I just don’t understand……”

“You and Bette are the only ones that can figure out what went wrong, how it went wrong and how to fix it….” said Kit……… “Bette loves you sooo much…..she has never loved anyone like that before……and it kills her to see you and henry together…..hell…..she cant stand the thought of being without you………and you’re sharing the bed with him?”

“I……just……..I ……don’t know Kit……”

“well it pisses me off….that you chose a man……..over my sister……that woman has done nothing but love you, and take care of you……..”

“and cheated on me….” said Tina as she looked at Kit…….

“everyone makes mistakes…..and she realized that……that is why she didn’t continue with it……she realized what she had done……and what she had to do to fix it……well……that is……until you decided that you had feelings for men…..”

“ But, she drove me to that man…..”

“what???….you must be kidding…..you went to THAT dickhead for some other reason……not because she drove you to him…..you have serious issues….and so does she……….jezus……” said Kit…… “you need to figure out what you want….and do it soon……because she cant be alone……and she will not wait around……”……

“yea……I know……she already made that clear…..” said Tina……
