“I felt bad because I really thought we should go out on this date thing. We have a lot to talk about.” Tina took a deep breath, and ventured into the fray. “About Candace…” Bette stopped eating her hand began to shake as she held the fork with a piece of egg bouncing on it.
“Oh Tee.” She’d known it was too good to be true.
“There are some things I need to know.” Bette‘s whole body shook violently, scared of what was to come.
“I… Umm.. Oh…” Bette stammered uncharacteristically. Tina‘s serious face twisted as she summoned the courage to ask the questions that plagued her in the wee hours of the morning when sleep failed her.
“Did you two sleep together? Or was it just the flirting and those touches?” Bette felt her stomach churning and she felt her breakfast coming up. She darted from the table, her hand over her mouth as she ran into the small toilet off the living room. Bette knelt at the toilet and began to vomit intensely, tears spilling from her eyes as she felt Tina‘s arms wrapping around her waist. The guilt spilled out of her,
“Oh Tina, I’m so sorry. Yes, more than once… Yes.. I’m so very sorry. “ Tina wiped her mouth with a cloth as Bette fell back and looked up at the woman whom she loved dearly, and had wounded beyond words.
“I know you are, or I wouldn’t be here.” Bette knew that Tina knew, just how deep her betrayal of their relationship had been. “I already knew…” Tina admitted, taking Bette‘s face into her hands and making her look at her again.
“Candace told me everything the day after I left. I tracked her down, and made her tell me. She took all of the blame, but she didn’t know that I was just as much to blame in all of this as you were and as she was. I just needed you to be honest with me, you were. It was the only way that I was ever going to give you another chance.”

Alice and Dana crept out of Shane‘s bed, they held hands as they giggled and headed out of Sam‘s home. As Alice opened the door of her car, Dana swept her into her arms, and gave her a slow gentle kiss, devoid of rush and intensity of before, but not any less sweet. Their lips were gentle and smooth as they kissed softly for the first time. Each sighing at the feel, their fingers interlocked with one another’s at their sides.

So glad to see Bette and Tina are heading in a good direction. It’s hard to imagine Bette brandishing a bat to Tina, but it made me laugh. I don’t know why, but the breakfast seems very attractive. I decided to make pancake as breakfast tomorrow morning. =)
Glad to see that Kit was questioning her sexapade w/ Ivan. Its hard to see Ivan as a woman when she represents herself as a man. Its got to be confusing for Kit who hasn’t been exposed a lot to this. Kit finally realized she had sex w/ a woman. Yes its politically correct to say about whole ‘gender thing’ its about the person & who they are inside, but is it really? Geez its going to take Sam quite some time to move on.
After meeting all the gang,Sam knows she has a home. She doesnt need to run anymore. she just needs some space right now. Love will come when she least expects it.It will never be like the first but is will be all she can give. thanks
That what Tina needed, for Bette to be straight up with her. And Bette did just that, now I hope they can rebuild their relationship from there. That must have been weird for Kit huh, but I guess she tries to understand that love is love wether you’re with a man or a woman. Poor Sam, I can just imagine what she must be going through right now. Shane has a good shoulder to cry on tho, I hope she will realise that and confide in Shane when she feels the time is right.
