Storm Watch 02.11 – Desolate

            It was morning and Tina rolled over in Rosita’s bed she glanced up at the ceiling.  She was so comfortable here with Rosita.  Tina thought about what had happened on Tuesday night after she’d followed Rosita up into her apartment.  She’d thought about the events of that evening often in the last few days.  They’d left her wondering, confused and elated. 

            Tina had trudged up the stairs having watched Rosita’s father get into his car and drive away Tina groaned to herself this was all her fault.  All Bette‘s fault everyone else’s fault but Rosita’s.  Rosita the innocent girl who’d been nothing but great and sweet to Tina. 

            Why had she gotten into Rosita’s car instead of her own?  Why had she pulled this wonderful woman into her crazy world?  Because she liked her, and she was starting to think it was much more than like.

            “*****.”  Muttered Tina the night had gone from bad to worse.  She heard soft banging behind the door as she pushed it opened and saw Rosita slamming the door of one of her cabinets.  Her hair was unkempt as she allowed her anger to simmer inside of her. 

            “Rosita?”  Tina asked she wanted to leave Rosita alone if she wanted that but there was no way for her to get home and she sure as ***** wasn’t going to call one of the girls.  She needed Ro’s phone to call a cab so she needed to get into the apartment.

            “Bella I’m sorry about that out there you didn’t need to hear any of that….”  Ro said and Tina waved it off.  Rosita’s voice was calm and this soothed Tina.  Tina opened the freezer and pulled out the ice cream and then got two spoons and headed for the stairs that would bring her to the 3^rd floor landing.

            Rosita followed her: what was Tina doing?  Why was she acting so blas?  She’d just watched a very awkward exchanged between father and daughter, and she wasn’t barraging her with 100 questions.

            Rosita caught sight of Tina‘s ***** climbing out onto her roof and Rosita hurried to follow her out.  She slid onto the roof and saw Tina moving to the same spot that they’d sat at a few times before.
