Tina looked at her and didn’t say anything, her silence was a sign to go ahead. Bette continued, “I over reacted. I shouldn’t have said those things. They were uncalled for”

            “They were hurtful” Tina said matter of factly.

            “I know… I, fuck, I’m sorry” she rubbed her forehead. She looked at the ceiling and sighed, “I’m sorry”. She couldn’t think about other words she could tell her. But then something popped out in her mind, “Look, I’ll make sure everyone is going to have a new job, okay? I promise. I won’t let them down. I give you my word. Please, believe me. I, when Alice told me about Peggy, my first thought were those people that were going to lose their jobs. It may sounds strange, but I actually care about people you know? I’m not a monster, I mean… I’m just sorry”

Tina could see the honesty in her brown eyes, she almost felt like hugging her and tell her it was okay, but she decided to just sit beside her, she gazed in her eyes and smiled “Thank you”. They were two simple words but they meant everything to Bette. The blonde accepted her apology and Bette thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world. She let out a deep amount of air from her mouth and smiled wildly. She didn’t know why, but she felt the urge to hug her and she did just that. Pulling Tina in a tight hug, she couldn’t believe how right it felt. She filled her own lunges with the blonde’s scent, placing her head on her shoulder, “You smell good” she whispered, as she leaned her head closer to her neck. Tina tingled when she felt Bette’s hot breath on her neck. Without thinking twice, the brunette placed a small and gentle kiss on the spot between her ear and the neck. Tina pulled out and looked at her in the eyes. Both women swallowed; their eyes were glued. With both their hands still on each other’s hips they stood like that for several minutes. Admiring one another’s eyes, their mouths were mere inches apart… “Mommy!” both women were soon brought to reality when they heard Angelica’s voice coming from downstairs, and quickly pulled out, breaking the contact. You would call it: great timing.
