Bette was gobsmacked at Tina’s confession but felt compelled to ask why

She put her arm around the blonde trying to comfort her but still asked

“Why T?  Why did you service lots of girls?  Its so unlike you..to be honest you seem like a different girl from the one I knew

“Well losing the love and respect of your partner of eight years can do that to a girl”

“Your blaming ME?”  Bette said stupidly

“In a way yes… when you had your affair and I found out, I felt as if I wasn’t good enough, IF I had been you wouldn’t have gone looking for someone else..you wouldn’t have felt the need to pick up that bitch to satisfy your desires..!

Bette cut in softly “Tina that’s NOT true… I loved you with every fibre of my being…I would have given you the world on a gold platter..”

“That’s why you slept with that carpenter, and continued to.. even AFTER I moved out!!!” Tina said sarcastically

“Tina I’m so sorry for what I did, I never meant to hurt you, but I think were even you slept with Jodie MY girlfriend remember?!!” Bette shot back

“I didn’t know she was our girl, I swear I would not have serviced her, she told me, she was single, and was all over me” she laughed ironically “all I did was finger fuck her in the bathroom of a club.. it didn’t mean anything I was drunk as I always was when I had my little escapades. I’m Classy eh?… I wouldn’t even let her kiss me, but if I had known she was your partner I would have put my fingers to better use… I would have wrapped them round her neck and strangled her it wasn’t about getting even. I didn’t know…she was just another ego boost. I have been so fucked up emotionally since I left..” she sobbed

“But now..do you think it was karma? Karma because I cheated on you?

Well I’ll admit there is some irony in there, but no Bette.. I would never have wanted you to feel the pain of knowing your partner, the one you adored cheated on you.. I wouldn’t wish that heartache on anyone. When you had that affair I swear I felt like I had lost half myself.. I was so lonely and felt like I wanted to end it all, I seriously would have..but then something happened that changed my thinking, and it made me have a purpose to go on, but I never got over you Bette… I tried.. but I couldn’t, and when I thought about things clearly, I realised that I was SO dependant on you. SO submissive SO like a little loyal lap dog, I would do or say whatever you wanted to hear…no wonder you went looking for a REAL women!.. You were sick wiping my nose and allaying my fears, and of me being so much of a walkover…”
