HEREAFTER. Chapter 26. Future-Tense?

Hey

Finally, I was starting to think you were avoiding me, I always get your message box

Sorry, Ive been terribly busy

Too Busy to have dinner?

Am sorry Tee, I know I have been the worse kind of… Bette trailed off she was about to say girlfriend

Worse kind of what? Tina asked

Tee can I call you back in a sec, really I just need a minute

Bette hang up the phone and let herself fall against the nearest wall, what the ***** was that, Damn it Porter you have to make up your mind well her mind was pretty made up, but her body wasnt following, or was it the other way? for some reason, she find it easy if she stayed away, she love it to talk to Tina everyday first thing in the morning just to know about her day, she craved for the daily twenty minutes she get to see her every afternoon at school, but when it come to have a formal date as Tina had been obviously envisioning, she just stalled.

Nothing else had happened since their encounter in Anaheim City, they just hold hands during the whole day and talked endlessly on the way back since the girls had passed out on the back seat, It had been hard for Bette said Good Night that time, and that was only after one weekend together, now she was too scare to face the possibility of have to say Good Bye ever, her mind was playing tricks on her, so much that she was ready to face the prospect of getting back to therapy, if thats what it took to chase the doubts away. If Tina only knew. She thought. Somehow the idea of share all of this with Tina not once crossed her mind.

Pushing the speed dial of her phone she took a deep breath Hey sorry about that, I lost Jessie out of sight Yeah right!! you coward she battered herself

Well how about Dinner? Tina said already swamp in her kitchen Am making Spaghetti with my special sauce

Tina I really cant, right now am in the middle of the biggest Office Depot, looking for some stuff Jessie needed for some last minute homework she never mention before
