Well I guess so..But remember I won that Auction. Helena said.

I promise I will call you tomorrow. Tina said as she hung up the phone.

I cant believe she had the nerve to call you here! Bette said as Tina refilled their wine glasses.

Lets not worry about her. You were in the middle of telling me something about the girls from NYC. Tina replied.

Right Bette said as she processed how she wanted to tell Tina the truth.

Tina wrapped her arms around Bette as they sat in the moonlight on the edge of the pool.
Tina kissed Bettes ear and then her neck.
Tina whispered You know I love you and there isnt anything you cant tell me.
Bette melted in Tinas embrace.
T..I dont know how to say this but Bette said as she looked into Tinas eyes that were totally into her.

Babe.Just say it.you can do it. Tina said in an encouraging tone.
She padded Bettes right knee.

Well when you left me and I was a total mess. I had so much guilt and I was
drinking all the time. Matter of fact the night you came in here and got all of your stuff.
I thought about ending it all.I walked out into the pool.with my entire outfit on
I was hoping I could drown to end all the pain I felt. Also I was so mad at myself for losing the best thing that ever happened to me. Bette said as Tina played with Bettes curls

Awh Babe.Im so glad you didnt do thatI am so happy we were able to work through our issuesI love you..Im glad you shared that with me. Tina said.
As she kissed Bettes neck again.

Wait Tina Bette added..Thats not all of it..I want to be honest with you.
Remember the weekend I was out of town .in NYC and you & that lawyer of yours came into the house?

Yes..I remember..Im so sorry.about that.When I was here with her I thought .about how intrusive it was that she was here. That day was hard for me
I wanted to be back with you so bad.but my ego wouldnt budge. All I could think about was you and I was waiting for you to walk in at anytime. Tina said as she hugged
Bette tightly.

Tina I am so sorry for putting you through all thatyou never deserved it.
I never deserved you. Bette said.

Elizabeth Porter dont you say that again! Tina said.
Bette smiled at Tina.I am so damn lucky.
T I still have to finish my story..about those girls..Well that weekendI went to NYC to meet up with Helena.about funding for the CAC.She rejected any proposal I madeSo I went into a bar..and tried to drink my hurt away..That is when I met
Sam.I dont know how to tell you this..But I had a one night stand with her..
Tina she meant nothing to me I never even spoke to her after that..honest Bette grabbed Tinas arm..Please dont leave..

You know..Bette .even though it is tough for me to swallow..I am so proud of you for being honest with me.now can I refill our wineglasses. Tina whispered into Bettes ear.

Bette felt so relieved that she was able to be honest with Tina.
Tina was also relieved that she heard it from Bette and not someone else.

That night Bette and Tina curled up into bed together falling asleep in each others arms.
