Tina froze, her eyes widening and her heart skipping a beat.

She forgot.

She fucking forgot.

After everything that had transpired between herself and Bette in the last few hours, Tina didn’t find it hard to believe that one very important event had slipped her mind.

Her heart started to beat against her chest, quickening in pace with her rising panic. It thumped so hard that Tina was sure Bette could feel it, their bodies were so close together. The blonde could only hope that if Bette did feel something, she would ignore it.

At least until Tina gathered up the courage to explain. Things had been going so well too.

Dammit.

"Um . . B-Bette?" Tina swallowed nervously, her finger tracing shaky circles on her girlfriend’s chest.

"Yeah?" A calm response, her eyes still closed.

"We need to talk about Kevin"

A pause, "Can we do it later? Honestly I just want to enjoy this moment and I’d rather not talk about him while I’m laying naked with you"

"Well um . ." Tina hesitated, "Later might be too late"

"Why is that?"

Tina scrunched up her nose and shut her eyes tightly, her shoulders lifting with tension as she braced herself for what was about to come.

"Because he’ll be here this afternoon"

Tina opened one eye just in time to see Bette open both of hers, instantly hating that she had ruined such a tender moment between them but at the same time knowing it had to be done.

There was a thick heavy silence between them and for what seemed like the longest amount of time, Tina looked up at Bette just waiting for any kind of reaction. 

She felt a slight pressure against her body as Bette made an effort to sit up and rolled to her side so that Bette could do so. Tina stared at her girlfriend’s bare, muscular back in silence, patiently waiting for her to say something.

"Is he coming to meet Angie?"

The voice was so quiet that it was hard for Tina to hear but she managed to make out her girlfriend’s shaky words.

"Yeah, he is" She answered sadly, choosing to defend herself when the brunette said nothing. "Look Bette, I know I should have talked to you about it first but you haven’t exactly returned any of my phone calls"
