Tina! TINA!

Bettes voice was raised in panic as she frantically searched the house. She eventually found Tina crouched at the end of their bed, her head in her knees, freely sobbing.

Talk to me baby Bette whispered as she placed her hand on Tinas knee, which was promptly rejected. Please T

Tina looked up momentarily Didnt think you were coming home tonight

Of course I came home baby

You sure you wanna call me that? You sure you shouldnt be saving that for Candace?

Dont be stupid T

You think Im being stupid? Well you made me look stupid! Tina shouted, glaring at Bette.

What do you mean? By now Bette was crouched on the floor next to Tina

I took you back. You betrayed me and I took you back when so many people wouldnt. And now look whats happened. Youve made me look like a fool Tina broke down in tears again.

T, nothing happened The only response was silence. Baby, I asked her to leave Bettes voice began to waver.

And what about your eyes? What did they say? Tina looked at the expression on Bettes face I heard it all you know

Bette just stared at Tina, her eyes begging for forgiveness Then youll have heard me say that Im back with you

Tina just shook her head. She couldnt believe it was happening. It was like a bad dream. Shed thought it was all behind them and now here the past was, right back in their lives again.

She spoke almost in a whisper well maybe youre not

T please Bette was in tears now Dont do this. I didnt know she was there. Nothing happened. If youd stayed, youd know. I told her I loved you and that nothing was gonna make me repeat that stupid mistake again

Bette, I wish I could believe you. But you did it once. How am I supposed to believe that you wont do it again? That you dont still have those feelings for her?

You have to trust me T

I dont know if I can Tina got up and looked at Bette on the floor.

Please baby, Im begging you Bette looked up, vulnerable and open, close to grabbing Tinas leg to prevent her from leaving.

I need time, Bette And with that, Tina walked out.

Shane and Dana sat next to each other, neither wanting to break the gaze.

What? Shane breathed.

I said its you Dana repeated softly.

Shane got up from her chair, looking away.

***** Shane, Im sorry, I shouldnt have said anything Dana garbled hurriedly forget I said it she looked down in embarrassment.

Shane laughed softly as she moved behind Dana, gently moving her long hair from the back of her neck. My god, she thought to herself, Dana Fairbanks is interested in me. Id never even thought about it. Surely shed want someonewellsomeone not like me!But jeez, now that I think about it

Shane softly began to stroke Danas neck, bending down to kiss it whilst Dana held her breath.

Dont forget to breathe, Fairbanks, dont want you passing out on me she said, bending down to look up into Danas eyes.

Tell me what you want

Dana finally exhaled. Shanes asking me what I want? And here I am too scared to say anything!

I dont know. I was hoping youd take the lead, you know, how you usually do

Thats with random girls, Dane. Youre different. I cant treat you like them, I just she trailed off.

Shut the ***** up and kiss me Shane Dana leant in, silently praising herself for her sudden burst of bravado, and kissed Shane firmly on the lips.

Shane moved her hands to run them through Danas hair, gently stroking her as she parted her lips. She softly took Danas bottom lip in her mouth and sucked on it. Dana moaned quietly before opening her mouth to Shanes kiss. Her arms pulled Shane closer in order to deepen it.

Jeez, Fairbanks! Shane exclaimed as she pulled away briefly, thats a side to you Ive never seen!

Dana grinned Theres a lot of sides to me youve never seen

Shane grinned in return, got up and straddled Danas thighs. Dana began to run her palms over the tight denim of Shanes jeans as Shane moved her mouth to Danas ear. Well I hope Im gonna get to see them tonight she whispered before sucking on her earlobe.
Dana ran her hands gently up and down Shanes back, whilst kissing her neck. She gripped Shanes hips tightly and spoke in a throaty whisper.

Take me home, baby
