“Look, I wanna be honest with you. Last night I was expecting you to run into the night after our conversation and I have to say that you….” Tina made a pause remembering the note she found in the morning, and her conversation with Bette on the phone and later on what a significant gesture Bette had towards her, this memories bringing a smile to her features and illuminating those beautiful hazel eyes.

Bette was dying to say everything she needed to say but she understood that this was Tina’s moment. She realized she had to give Tina this space no matter how much she was struggling to just kiss the unbelievably beautiful and amazing woman in front of her and tell her she was falling for her and there was nothing in her power to prevent it.

“You took me by surprise Bette and you also took my breath away. Again I wasn’t expecting you to stay and to be so nice to me, cause Bette I don’t wanna hurt you… I’m… I….” Tina started stammering and Bette knew this was it, she had to start speaking or darkness would take over the conversation.

“T… who said you will hurt me? Look I know what you think of yourself, well I don’t know exactly what you think of yourself but I can understand a few things… I have to admit I tend to be blind as a bat with many things but last night I realized where you were aiming… when you told me… well what you told me…” Bette made a pause searching into Tina’s eyes for any indication that told her she was going in the wrong direction. She found none which gave Bette the remaining courage she needed to finish her statement.

“But T… I’ll wait. You see I haven’t come across this… thing we share, this connection… ever in my life to be honest, so I’m gonna hold on to it and I’ll be here waiting for you to be ready.”

Tina’s eyes were filled with tears she was struggling not to share. But most importantly she was too feeling that connection, she had been for this last three days and she, above everything was starting to put all her shit behind. But still no words were forming in her mind, no sentence was coming out of her mouth to let Bette know that she didn’t really have to wait all that long. How she felt around Bette and the need to stick to that feeling wasn’t her choice anyway.
