Tina quickly snapped back in to reality and shoved everything back in to the shoebox when she heard Danas voice outside the door.  Dana unlocked the door and  kicked it open with her foot.  She had her cell phone in one hand and various items in the other.  That phone had been glued to her ear ever since Alice got the job with L.A. magazine and finally made the move. Yeah well I think Tina is getting the keys to her new apartment today.  West Hollywood right? she asked looking at Tina.  Tina nodded her head. Yeah, thatll be awesome, give me a call when she gets inokbye  Dana smiled as she threw her bag on the floor.

Dana:  So all packed huh? she said looking around the room

Tina:  Yep she replied as she tossed the shoe box in with the rest of her random stuff.

Dana:  I cant believe were not going to be roommates anymore she said dramatically as she pretended to cry.

Tina:  So what are you and Alice doing tonight? she asked after giving Dana a playful punch on the arm.

Dana:  Well, she has to pick up Bette from the airport at six and then we were going to go out for dinner.  You wanna join us im sure shed be happy to see you

Tina:  What is Bette doing in L.A.? she asked, her throat suddenly dry.

Tina never told anyone about the kiss her and Bette shared in the park that day in Philadelphia, honestly she had almost forgotten about it.  She had a boyfriend now, well more like a friend with benefits, not really a boyfriend at all.  Tina did a lot of thinking in the park after Bette walked away from her.  So many questions about who she was and what she wanted were all of a sudden blinding her.  When Tina returned to L.A. she tried to talk to different women to see if any of them had the same effect on her as Bette had, and of course they didnt.  Instead of realizing the obvious Tina just decided it meant she wasnt a *****, maybe she was a bisexual that was only attracted to the ones that make her life a living *****.  Yeah that sounds more typical.  What she felt with Bette was just a small infatuation, a crush.  She reminded herself everyday of this as she pushed her feelings aside.  Eventually Bette had become just a memory but after hearing the news from Dana that she was in town, thoughts and situations started to flood her mind.  She couldnt see Bette, sure it had been a long time and Bette was probably married with two point five kids and a little yippy dog that barked at everything that moved.  Tina was probably just overreacting but she didnt want to chance it, sometimes being over dramatic is a good thing.
