"Likewise" Tina smiled, the feigned gesture not lost on Bette who’s lips twitched in a smile.

Kit was the next to disappear into the crowd, claiming she was going to check on Alice and the girls.

"What are you doing?" Bette asked once they were alone, the amusement shone in her eyes even though she was still slightly annoyed with the blonde.

"Me?" Tina asked in disbelief, "What are you doing?"

Bette couldn’t help the laugh that escaped her, "Me?!"

"Yeah you" Tina crossed her arms over her chest, "Did you really have to hang all over her like that?"

Bette couldn’t help the laugh that escaped her, completely astonished by what Tina was saying.  She placed her hands on her hips, "I could say the same thing about you and Josh Brecker"

Equally surprised, Tina huffed her disbelief. "Well at least he came over to wish me a happy birthday. All you’ve done is ignore me and hang around some woman who’s been fucking drooling over you the entire night"

Bette couldn’t even process the fact that she may have hurt Tina’s feelings by not wishing her well on her birthday. She was much too worked up with the situation and Tina’s hot/cold feelings to even realize how jealous the blonde was.

"What do you expect me to do Tina? You put me in that position. You pushed me away"

Stunned, all Tina could do was stare. She looked up at Bette with so much emotion in her eyes it was hard to tell what she was feeling.

Bette was right, Tina knew that much. The only problem aside from admitting that fault was figuring out how to fix it.

"You don’t want me but you don’t want me to be with anyone else either" Bette continued, her frustration pouring out. "Make up your mind Tina. What do you want?"

You. I want you.

Tina was at a loss for words, wanting to say so much to Bette but feeling physically unable to say anything. Her mouth felt like it was wired shut, she was frozen in place. The alcohol was making her weak and she felt herself panicking at a conversation that was spiraling way out of control. Tina wasn’t sure how she had expected things to pan out but she was certain that this wasn’t it.
