Tina nodded again and before she could even get a word in, Bette was already halfway down the hall. She couldn’t help but chuckle at the overanxious brunette as the reality of the situation finally set in. It all seemed so surreal and Tina suddenly felt nervous, the butterflies in her stomach fluttering wildly.

She was going to tell Bette how she felt. She was going to confess to being in love with her best friend. She was going to tell Bette – wait, what was she going to say exactly? Fuck, what was she going to say? Tina was starting to panic.

"Oh boy" She let out a deep breath and rushed off in search of a drink to steady her nerves.

Bette was hurriedly gathering her things when there was a knock on her office door, urging her to curse under her breath. She was definitely not looking forward to any interruptions, anything or anyone that would prolong her from meeting up with Tina.

Tina. The very Tina she had kissed once before. The Tina she had almost kissed again. Twice.

Bette had looked into Tina’s eyes and saw the raw emotion there. She could see that Tina shared genuine feelings for her and the sight of it made Bette want to jump for joy.

It was almost hard for Bette to believe Tina returning any feelings for her. She had wished for it for so long, it was like a dream come true.

Another persistent knock on the door caused the smile that had formed on Bette’s lips to fall away. She let out a deep sigh knowing that she would have to deal with the person on the other end.

No matter, Bette squared her shoulders. She was determined to deal with the situation at hand as quickly as possible. The sooner she got rid of whoever was knocking, the sooner she could go home with Tina. Home with Tina. Bette’s smile returned at how right that sounded.

She looked down to the briefcase she had been packing, hoping that she appeared busy so that the person would change their minds about bothering her.
