«You should have thought about this before you slept with that woman… Now, please leave», Tina asked, opening the door for her. Claire stood up, but instead of leaving, she walked towards the bedroom.

«I don’t have a place to stay… Let me crash here for a while and maybe you’ll change your mind…»

«Claire, no!»

When she saw Claire coming, Bette picked up her heels, pants and panties and rushed inside the small closet to hide. She felt like she was in a cheap B movie where the husband comes home to find her wife in bed with someone else… Claire opened the door and took off her shirt. Tina ran into the room, frantically looking for Bette. Her eyes fell on the closet door…

«Come here sweetie and I’ll show you a good time…», Claire said as she collapsed on the bed.

«You can’t do that to me Claire ! Get out or I will call the police! I’m asking you for the last time…»

Claire got up so quickly that Tina didn’t have a chance to react. Claire grabbed her arms and tried to force herself on Tina. She clearly had an advantage on Tina who was trying to break free. A fuming and naked Bette got out of the closet.

«Bette, no!», she heard Tina yell, but it was too late.

«Get your hands off her!», Bette warned, anger flaring in her eyes.

Claire turned around and stared at Bette. «Who the fuck are you and what are you doing with my girlfriend?»

«I’m someone you rather not fuck with and unless I’m mistaken, she’s not your girlfriend anymore…».

«Are you her new play toy?». Claire was smirking.

«OK, that’s enough Claire ! Get out, GET OUT!», Tina screamed.

Claire looked at them both. «All right, I’m going… But take my word on it lady, I’ll win her back so don’t go fall in love with her or you’ll have your poor little heart broken…», Claire warned Bette. She picked up her shirt and left the room. Tina followed her to make sure she was gone and then came back to the bedroom.

«I’m sorry, I know you didn’t want anybody to find out about us, but she was hurting you…», Bette said, stroking Tina’s back. Tina was sitting on the bed, her face buried in her hands.

«I know this is crazy, but I can’t help feeling sorry for her. Claire has always been good to me and she never was physically abusive when we were together. She must really be in bad shape to act like this…», Tina said in a small voice.

«When was the last time you saw her ?»

«Six months ago… I ran into her and her new girlfriend at the movies. I didn’t stay until the end of the show because it was too painful to watch them kiss and hold hands while I was sitting all alone just a few seats away…»

«Do you want me to go ?», Bette asked gently.

Tina turned to her. «No, of course not. I won’t let her drive you away from me. I didn’t tell you this, but you’re the first woman I went out on a date with since my break-up. I just wasn’t interested in anybody until I met you…»

Bette got teary eyed listening to Tina. She snuggled closer. «Are you hungry ? I don’t know about you, but I haven’t eaten a thing since lunch and I’m starving…», Bette asked.

«Yeah, I’m hungry too… What about Italian?»

«Italian’s fine with me…»

It was past midnight when Bette left Tina’s apartment. She had hoped the blonde woman would have asked her to stay the night, but she sensed Tina needed some time alone. Even if she didn’t want to admit it, Claire’s visit had troubled her. Tina walked with her to her car.

«I had a pretty good time tonight Bette», Tina said, smiling devilishly. Bette pulled her into her arms. «Me too… Your bed is very comfortable and warm and inviting…». Tina gave her a playful tug on the shoulder.

«When can I see you again?», Bette asked.

Tina avoided her eyes. «I’ll call you, OK?»

Bette felt uneasy, but since she had promised Tina not to put pressure on her, she didn’t say anything.

«OK… Have a good night», Bette told her.

«You too…», Tina replied.

Bette leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss. The two women had no idea someone was taken pictures of this very intimate moment…
