Tina sat on one of the many loungers in The Planet as scrunched up her face at the bitter taste of her latest shot. For the last hour she had been forcing herself to look elsewhere, anywhere but at Bette and Melissa. It had proved to be an even more difficult task than she had anticipated, especially as Alice seemed to ramble on about them.

"I have to say, she’s hot" Alice checked herself for a second, looking to her wife with a wink, "I mean not hotter than you babe but I think she’s hot. Don’t you think she’s hot TK?"

Tina shrugged her shoulders and nodded, completely uncaring as she brought another shot of tequila to her lips. Shane watched as Tina rolled her eyes before downing her drink, smiling at her friend’s obvious jealousy.

"I think you should slow down Tina" The younger brunette warned.

"I’m fine" Tina gasped as the strong liquid burned her throat, ignoring the discomfort in her stomach.

She sucked on lime as she gave in to temptation and let her eyes wander toward Bette and Melissa. Tina watched as the raven haired woman playfully pulled Bette toward the exit of The Planet, her pinky flirtatiously linked with the brunette’s.

"Oh my – she’s totally gonna go home with her" Alice held out an arm in the direction of Bette and Melissa.

Dana though silent most of the night was well aware of Tina’s suffering and shot the brunette a nervous look.

"I-I don’t think she will"

Alice looked at her wife incredulously, "Dana! Come on its so obvious. Look at them"

Tina slumped back in her seat, defeated and irritated. She crossed her arms stubbornly as Carmen discreetly tossed her a glance, smiling as she sat back to join the pouting blonde.

Alice and the girls were talking animatedly around her, laughing and generally having a good time but Tina couldn’t seem to enjoy herself. She was too busy sulking, too busy seething, too busy regretting.

Melissa ((finally)) excused herself from Bette’s side and made her way toward the bathrooms with Tina following her every move. She watched the way Melissa’s raven hair bounced with each graceful step she took, the sensual way her hips swayed and couldn’t help but feel the frustration burning inside.
