For anyone sitting around these two women, it was like a train wreck.  You couldnt look away if you wanted to.  The nervous blonde sat back in her chair and compulsively wiped away the condensation that formed on her glass.  Bette was equally nervous though she was better at hiding it. 

Bette:  So, how have you been?

Tina:  Um, Ive been good.  Schools going well and uhyeah things are good.

Bette:  Thats good. She smiled

Tina:  Dana says that youre looking for a gallery out here

Bette:  Yeah, yeah.  I just looked at a place yesterday, seemed promising.

Tina:  So youll be moving to L.A. then?

Bette:  If everything goes according to plan.  Alice is really excited, she calls me every five minutes to see when im moving.

Tina:  Good for you.

Bette:  Yeah

Now was the moment of truth.  Tina couldnt go on with this fake conversation.

Tina:  BetteI need to say something to you Here goes nothing.

Bette:  Ok

Tina:  Im only saying this because I think its fair and I know if I dont say anything now, I never will.  This friend thing isnt going to work

Bette:  I know its not

Tina looked up and noticed how tired and defeated Bette sounded.

Bette:  Im not getting married anymore

Tina:  What?

Bette:  Last night, after you left the bar she took a deep breath. I wanted to think this friend thing could work out but I couldnt stop thinking about you.  Ive never stopped thinking about you.  If I would have stayed with Kristen I would have just broke her heart in the end.

Tina:  So what do we do now?

Bette:  Go somewhere else?

Tina:  Ok Tina wanted to know details about what exactly happened but now wasnt the time.

–Tinas Apartment–

Tina didnt have time to process what just happened the only thing she could think about was the fact that Bette was in her car and she was driving them back to her apartment.  Things were quiet and awkward on the drive home.  Both women were fueled on curious passion for the other.  It had been two long years; there was no time for slowness.  Tina sped up to the curb outside her apartment and turned off the engine.  She smiled at Bette as they both silently climbed out of the car; Tina led the way to the door.  Bette stopped mere inches away from Tina as she rustled through her bag, looking for her keys.  Tina completely forgot what she was doing when she felt Bettes warm breath on her neck.
