"First of all, Tina, I hope our relationship won’t change after I tell you this ok? You’re my friend and Bette’s wife"

"I promise I won’t Al" Tina said, cutting Alice off. "Ok um When Bette and I dated years ago, it wasn’t very much like a relationship. We were more like friends with benefits if you know what I mean." Alice stopped and glanced up at her friends.

"Ok go on" Both Tina and Shane said at the same time.

"If you insist um well I kind of felt jealous when Bette met you, Tina. I mean, when I discovered how sweet, loving, romantic Bette could be, I craved for that attention." Alice said.

You mean, Bette was never sweet, loving and romantic to you before?" Tina asked.

"Well she was but not as much as she is with you right now. I think I fell in love with her again when I saw that different side of Bette." Alice stopped, looking down at her coffee, silently wishing Tina would still be her friend.

"So you cover your feelings by doing those to her?" Shane asked.

"Something like that but not on purpose. I mean, I think it’s more of um I can’t really explain it." Alice said, looking for words to describe her feelings.

"You want Bette’s attention on you so tease her." Tina said, smiling at Alice.

"Why are you smiling? I don’t know! All those banterings, teasings and flirting with her became a habit! I don’t know." Alice said. "I’m not in love with her by the way"

"I thought you said you are" Shane said.

"I was in love with her and used those just to get her attention and now it became a habit. I’m not in love with her or anything anymore." Alice said

"Oh! Now I get it. Wow Alice!" Tina said, smiling at her. "Now I got something to tease you with!"

“Ha yea! Not just that T, we can blackmail her with that!" Shane said, looking at Tina.

"Aww guys! Come on don’t do this to me. Telling you about this is emotionally and physically draining" Alice said, pouting.

"I bet it is. Just don’t do anything to my marriage ok??" Tina said.

"*gulp* yes ma’am" Alice sat up straight, looking at Tina.

"Anyway, I better go guys! I think I should drop by Bette’s office, unless you want to come with me Alice to check her out?" Tina said, winking at Alice.
"Tina" Alice glared at her, causing Shane to laugh.

"Yea Ally, why don’t you go check out Bette with Tina. Maybe this time, you can actually experience one of Bette’s squeezies!" Shane teased Alice

"Oh god guys!" Alice exclaimed.
