“That will be just fine?” Tina asked, raised her eyebrows. Clearly stunned by the news just learned. She couldn’t believe that Bette was using her for that fucking deal. She knew about it already, but she didn’t know that Peggy was the one who was going to help Bette do it, and she – herself – was part of that.

            “Yes, that will be just fine” Alice repeated.

            “Could you ask Kit to bring us some coffee, dear?” Bette asked, trying to change the subject.

            “Sure… dear!” Tina said, giving her the evil look.

As she was crossing the hall, she bumped into Kit, “Hey Kit, the ladies would like some coffee. Make sure to put some arsenic in Miss Porter’s” she said as she placed her hands on her hips. She then smirked. She got an idea. She was going to show Bette how bad that decision was.

            Later that night, both women didn’t share a word. There was too much tension between the two of them, even Peggy noticed it. They would exchange some glances every now and then but no words escaped both their mouths. Bette was lightly taken aback by Tina’s behavior, but she knew she couldn’t blame her, since she, somehow, lied to her. And something was telling her she needed to apologize. But how? Tina, on the other end was feeling a little guilty for giving her the silence treatment, but the brunette totally deserved it. Alice, instead, couldn’t help but grin for the whole time thinking how ‘real’ they looked. They looked like an old married couple who fought for some reasons and were now acting like teenagers.

            As soon as time to go to bed arrived, both women were walking upstairs when Tina accidentally tripped the brunette causing her to fall down. But before she knew it, Bette managed to pull the blonde with her. A loud thud could be heard; they were now laying on the floor, on the top the stairs. Tina on the top of her, her mouths a few inches apart. They could feel each other’s hot breathes.

            “You can’t help it, can you?” Bette said smirking and teasing her “You just love being on top”
