Tina wrapped her arms around Bette’s neck and buried her face in her hair. After taking a deep breath, she pulled back and leant her forehead against Bette’s.

“I’m just scared and… after what Steven did, I feel… I don’t know, I’m scared Bette.”

Bette could understand completely, in fact, she felt a little bad for initiating contact between them. Tina sensed her discomfort right away and gently cupped her cheeks, causing Bette’s had to tilt back to look up at her.

“Bette, don’t feel bad. I want this with you and you did nothing wrong, ok?”

She sighed contently and nodded, it was exactly what she wanted to hear.

Just as she was about to lean in for another kiss, the shrill ring of the phone interrupted her. Tina pulled back and crawled away from Bette so she could go get the phone.

“This better be important.” Bette muttered as she picked up the phone.

A frown passed across her features as she read the name that was flashing on the screen. “Apparently you’re calling me, Tina.”

Tina rolled her eyes and held out her hand; Bette willingly gave her the device before taking a seat on the couch again.

“Jenny…” Tina answered with. “What do you want?”

“I thought you’d go back to her place.” Jenny replied dryly.

“Were you just checking if I was here?”

Jenny sighed loudly, as much as she wanted to just be checking if Tina was there, she wasn’t. “Actually, I flooded your bathroom by accident. Everything is completely drenched. Your carpet has soaked through.”

Tina’s eyes widened and she was overwhelmed with anger. “How the fuck did you flood my apartment?”

Bette, who’d been sat thumbing through a magazine, turned to look at Tina with disbelief.

“It was an accident. I started running a bath and then somebody came to the door; I went with them and by the time I arrived back, it was flooded. I totally forgot about the bath.”

“Is it bad?” Tina groaned.

“Well, I don’t think you’ll be able to live in it. I already packed my things. I am getting in your way and since the carpet is effectively ruined, I don’t think you’ll be at your apartment for a while.”
