Strictly Roommates – Chapter 12
“So. Let’s meet Brenda.”
“I knew you’d come around.”
Dana and Alice arranged it so that the introduction was as little awkward as possible. It didn’t seem like match-making once it was revealed that Tina was new in town. Brenda was very receptive to meeting Tina. She was instantly attracted to her, and Tina couldn’t deny that Brenda was attractive herself. They had a decent rapport, and before long Tina found herself dancing with Brenda away from her friends.
Upon seeing that her friends had succeeded in hooking Tina up, Bette shrugged Carly away without an explanation. She headed back towards the table, where she sat down heavily in her seat. With her arms crossed defensively across her chest, Bette stared daggers through the dancing couple.
Brenda was too close for Bette’s comfort. Within minutes she had inched her way as close to Tina has possible, caressing her back. Tina was all smiles, clearly enjoying the close proximity and the light touches she was receiving.
“Those two are looking cozy. I think we did good,” Alice said, smiling.
“Jesus Christ, Alice,” Bette said, slapping the table firmly with her palm. “Nobody asked either of you to do this. What the hell does Brenda know or care about Tina?”
Alice inched away from Bette, slightly taken aback. A sudden look of realization extended across her face.
“Oh my God,” she said slowly. “How did I not see this?”
“What?” Dana asked, confused. She looked from Alice to Bette. “What’s going on?”
“I’m sorry Bette, I… I had no idea.”
Bette looked hesitantly back over towards where Brenda and Tina were swaying to a much slower song than the one playing. She watched in what felt like slow motion as Brenda’s fingers found the bottom of Tina’s chin, tilting it skyward. Bette felt her heart quicken even more as she witnessed their eyes locking and their bodies settling to a standstill against each other. Finally, she felt a hard punch into her gut as Brenda’s face neared Tina’s, and their lips connected.
Bette’s heart fell into her stomach as she tore her eyes away from the two women, who were oblivious to the pain they were inflicting on her. Hastily grabbing her purse, she walked quickly towards the exit, willing her legs to carry her just a little bit further. Shane, having seen the last few seconds from across the room, placed her drink down and headed towards the door to receive her.
With her head down, Bette did not see Shane until she was one foot out the door, at which point she was crashing into her. Shane caught her just as her legs started to give out. Realizing that it was her friend, Bette allowed herself to collapse into her arms, her body wracked by sudden sobs. The sounds of her crying were drowned out by the pulsing music as she clawed at Shane’s skin, desperately trying to hold on to something; anything.
As quickly as possible, Shane got Bette into a cab and took her home.
