"Who gave you this?" I asked the boy as I stood up from the chair, leaving my client– a very important client. "Where is she?" I asked again as I headed towards the entrance.  "Who gave you this?" I asked again and this time I waited for his answer.
 
"A woman said I give it to you." The boy simply said.
 
"Where did she go?" I asked again and the boy just  shrugged his shoulders. "Come on, you gotta help me here." I pleaded. "Did she go this way?" I asked the boy holding his hand so he can follow me. "Is she blonde? Almost the same height as me?" The boy just nodded.
 
Oh my god Tina’s here. But where is she? Why didn’t she just gave me the note? Shit! What if she thought that the woman I was talking with is Julie? Fuck. Where are you Tina?
 
"Did she told you anything else?" I asked.
 
"No." The boy politely said.
 
"Did she look mad? Did she saw me inside?" I asked again and I can tell that the boy is becoming annoyed with my questions.
 
"She looked okay. "The boy answered.
 
I lowered myself to the ground so the boy and I are on the same eye level.
 
"Can you tell me what happened." I said desperately looking for ideas to where I can find Tina. "From the start, from the moment she gave you this." I said waving the paper in front of him.
 
The boy just looked at me frowning and it’s pretty obvious that he doesn’t want to tell the whole story but then a smile appeared on his face.
 
"There!" The boy exclaimed and pointed something on my back.
 
I looked back to see where he’s pointing.
 
It’s Tina.

Bette’s kneeling in front of the boy I asked to deliver the note to her and pointed at my direction.
 
"There!"  
 
The boy exclaimed and I saw Bette immediately turning around to look at the direction the boy was pointing.
 
 
I was so nervous and at the same time very excited to see Bette’s face that I am waiting with bated breathe.
 
I miss this woman so much.
 
"Tina.." Bette said the minute she saw me.
 
I smiled.  
 
I smiled because I can see it in her eyes that she still loves me. Of course I can still see sadness in her eyes but it’s still there.

She loves me still.

I walked towards Tina and I barely noticed that the boy ran away, he probably is delighted to know that the questioning has stopped.
 
"Tina.." I whispered. Unable to believe that Tina is here in L.A. and that she’s here standing in front of me, just inches away from me.
 
Then I saw her smile.
 
I miss that smile. I miss her so much.
 
I continued to step closer to her and I can feel my heart beating faster. And then I did what was instinctual for me to do, I hugged her. I hugged her without thinking that she might not want me to hug her. I hugged with tears flowing from my eyes, my knees started to fold. I was ready to kneel in front of her, to plead for her forgiveness. Tina at least deserves that from me and if I have to kneel in front of her in a very public place where anybody can see me this weak, it’s fine by me. I don’t care what other people will say, I just want her to forgive me.
 
"Bette.." Tina said stopping me from kneeling in front of her. "Please stand up." Tina continued. "You don’t have to do that."
 
I let her help me up, her touch is still so comforting.
 
"I’m sorry." I started. "I’m just sorry."
 
"Here." Tina said. "This is for you." Tina said as she handed me the flowers that she’s been holding since the beginning but I obviously didn’t noticed at first.
 
"What?" I asked not sure if I heard her right.
 
"Here." Tina offered me the flowers.
 
I took the flowers that Tina is holding and just looked at them while my mind is trying to process what’s happening.
 
Why is she giving me flowers? Why is she not mad? Why is she here? Why is she letting me hug her? And what’s with the note with the words ‘I miss you’? What did it mean?
 
"Are you not going to read the card." Tina said and I just look at her, unable to comprehend what’s happening or what Tina said. "Open the card."
 
I opened the card.
 
I love you.
