Bette sensed that she was being watched and opened her eyes the sight in front of her took her breath away.  There was Tina standing in front of her wearing her favourite black silk chemise.  The first thought that she had was holy shit now it’s going to be harder for me to keep my hands to myself.  As quickly as she could she regained her composure and patted the space by her side.

Tina noticed Bette’s reaction, her heat missed a beat she was so happy that even after all this time she could still take Bette’s breath away.  She walked to the sofa and sat down besides Bette and picked up her glass of wine and took a sip.

“so what pizza did you order in the end”

“what……..oh the pizza I um ordered the pepperoni” christ now I sound like an idiot Bette thought

Just then the door bell rang Bette quickly got up and went to the door, pleased for the interruption, she picked up her handbag so she could pay for the pizza.  Opening the door she handed over the money and took the pizza.  Turning around she walked back to Tina.  She put the box on the table then went to the kitchen to get some kitchen roll so they had something to wipe there hands on.  She then made her way back to the sofa and sat down next to Tina.

Tina watched her sit down and found that she suddenly wasn’t hungry anymore.  She took a breath in turning to face Bette she said

“Bette there’s something that I need to say but please don’t interrupt me otherwise I may never get this out and I really need to ok”

Bette looked at Tina with a concerned face “T what is it have you had a phone call about Angie”

“no it’s nothing like that I promise but I need you to promise that you will just listen”

“ok what ever you’ve got to say I won’t interrupt”

Tina closed her eye offered up a quick prayer, breathed in and out then opened her eyes and looked directly into Bette’s.

“I’m so sorry for all the hurt that I’ve put you though these last six months, if I could turn back the clock and take it all back I would, I need you to know that I have regretted hurting you every day.  I never meant to try and take Angie away from you, but I was angry when I found out you were trying for sole custody I hit back at you the only way I knew how and by doing that not only did I hurt you deeply but I also hurt myself.  I’m also sorry that I rubbed salt in the wound about Henry, I know why you took Angie away from me and hope one day you may forgive me”  Tina paused for a few moment as tears were streaming down her face
