“Are you okay, Bette?” she asked me…..

“I’ll be ok……I’m gonna go on home…..” I open the door to leave…….and she runs to me…… “Can I call you later?”

“Yea, sure……” I answer………

“great…..”

I close the door, and run out to my car……… I hope she doesn’t mention me to Alice…..this is sooooooo gonna be a bad night……….if Alice runs her mouth as she always does…….fuck, fuck, fuck…….

I decide to go on home, and watch a movie…….a few hours later, there is a knock at the door………I thought I was dreaming, as I had fallen asleep on the couch……..I heard the knock again……

“I’m coming…..” I yell as I get up… “hold your fuckin horses…” I get to the door…….and open it……..

“Alice, what the fuck are you doing here?” I ask……

“Well…” said Alice as she pushed past me, and into my living room…… “It seems as though I know one of your friends….”

“I gathered that……when I went to her house, and she mentioned to me that she was going out on the town with you……” I said as I plopped back down on the couch……

“She is a great person Bette….but she is straight……” Alice beamed……..

“I don’t really care Alice…….you can leave now…….”

“I…..don’t you get involved with her Porter, I am warning you………she is straight…….and I am gonna try my damnest to switch her over to our team…..”

“You had better leave her the fuck alone Alice……..She has been through enough……….”

“And what?” she asked…. “let you get the first pick of the ass on that girl……I don’t think sooo….”

Alice began to walk back to the door, she opened it and turned back towards Bette…. “she doesn’t know you like I do Porter…..” and alice turned around………In the doorway stood Tina………

“Alice……what……..what are you doing here?”

“Well missy, I could ask you the same thing……Bette is all worn out for the day……”

I got up and ran for the door when I heard this….. “don’t you dare, Alice…..”

“I will say what I want……Bette here Tina……she is an awesome lay…….great in bed……But, I am better……..hell, I learned from her……..” she said as she squeezed in-between the door jamb and Tina to go out………..

I just let my eyes fall to the floor……shame……I felt in such shame……I finally looked up and into the eyes that were dry, but now they are not…….I tried to walk towards her, but she backed away…….

“You have FUCKED Alice?” she yelled………

“It was before I knew you Tina…….” I said……..

“But why? Why didn’t you say anything to me when I told you her name earlier?”

“I didn’t want to get into it……Tina……”

“Well goddamit, I ……….fuck……….I………..”

“Come in and sit down…..” I said as I walked to her…….. “I will explain everything……”

“Don’t touch me…..” she said……. “You…….it was you that she was telling me about earlier…..how she had taken a beautiful brunnette in the bathroom at the bar……..how she had made you come……..”

“Stoppit Tina….” I said as I walked to her, and tried to pull her into my arms……

“I said…….Don’t fuckin touch me……..” she yelled…….

“I……” finally I just grabbed her……..and held her……against her wishes…….she was struggling and crying, but I was not going to let her drive in this condition……

“come on…..” I said as I walked towards the couch……I sat down, and pulled her with me………

“I thought you like me…….” she said……….

“I do like you Tina……we aren’t monogamous…….she……well she……took advantage of the situation…..she came in the bathroom, locked the door…..and started her shit………”

“Don’t you know how to say no?” she cried……..

“I am sooo sorry…….” I said through the tears…….

“I can’t do this……I can’t do this anymore…….” she cried as she moved to get up…….. “I am in love with you…….and if you can’t return that love, then I need to leave. We need to finish this right here, right now……”

“I…….Tina…..don’t go please……..I don’t want you too…..” I say as I get up from my seat… “how do you know what you want? You have never even been with a woman that you can remember……and Alice, says you are straight…….”

“I don’t know what I am……but I know that I love you Bette Porter, and I can’t go on hiding my feelings from you and everyone else……so, think about things……I am going home…….and if you are interested in hearing the rest, then come see me………”

Tina gets up and walks out the door………
