“Caddyshack?” asked Bette with an ‘eeewww’ look on her face, “You really do like old movies, don’t you?”
“Hey, come on now, that movie is great..” said Tina as she walked over to Bette, grabbed the movie out of her hand, and put it back. “Boy, you wouldn’t know a classic if you saw one would you?”
“Yea, I would.” said Bette as she raised an eyebrow at Tina. Tina automatically became nervous again.Oh, god thought Tina. If she makes a move on me, I’m gonna just die.She quickly went and sat back down, avoiding that thought at all costs. Bette finally went and sat beside her on the couch…Tina could feel the heat from her..It felt as if she were sitting next to the sun…Her palms were all sweaty and she was obviously fidgeting..
“Tina, are you okay?”
“Y-Yea. I’m fine. Just a little nervous, that’s all.”
“Do I make you nervous?” asked Bette with a worried look on her face.
“I’m just a little weirded out…”
“Why?”
“I guess because of what I told you while we were still in the car.”
“There is nothing to be nervous about..You were being honest just as I was.”
“I know but it is so new to me. I am not sure how to deal with it..”
“Do you like me in any way?” asked Bette.
Tina looked down to the sofa and started fidgeting her hands…
Bette grabbed them into her own, “Tina, liking another woman is not a bad thing. If you have that feeling, you just go with it..take it one day at a time. I know how awkward it can be, it was hard for me at first, because I was confused by my feelings…but then, I decided to let myself go and just be me.”
“I am attracted you to the point that it scares me.” said Tina.
“I don’t want you to be afraid, but I have to say that I am glad that you are attracted to me. I was definately attracted to you when you first came into the gallery.”
“Speaking of the gallery…” Tina changed the subject.
“How did you become so successful?”
“Alot of hard work and many, many long hours.” said Bette. She went with the whole changing the subject thing, because she didn’t want to make Tina any more uncomfortable….she wanted to make her fall in love…
Bette took a long look at Tina. She didn’t want to go, but she knew if she didn’t, she would really rush things in the next few minutes…And that may push Tina away.
“Well, I have to be going.” said Bette.”Thanks for the coffee.” and she stood up.
Tina quickly stood up, “Don’t go!” she blurted..”*****..I mean…If you can stay longer, I would really like to spend more time getting to know you.”
“S-sure. I would love to.” said Bette going against better judgement..Dammit Porter, don’t push this one…she is special..you have to wait for her….you can’t just jump in the sack and that’s that.
“What do you want to do?” asked Bette..
“Wanna watch a movie? You can choose, or we can go and rent one..” said Tina.
“How about you choose your favorite movie out of your collection and we’ll watch it.” said Bette. “Do you have popcorn?”
“Do I have popcorn? Of Course, I have popcorn..A big movie-see-er like myself wouldn’t be caught dead without popcorn…While I pick the movie, you grab the popcorn…it’s in that corner cabinet.” said Tina as she pointed into the kitchen. “The microwave is over there.”
Bette started popping the popcorn while Tina picked out a movie…Once the popcorn was done, Bette pulled it out of the microwave and walked into the living room where Tina was fooling with the controller to the DVD player…”*****..I hate these things..You have to have a college degree just to work one.”
Bette laughed, “Well, don’t look at me, I would be doing good just to be able to turn the t.v. on from one of those things…”
The movie came on. Tina and Bette sat on the couch beside eachother, sharing popcorn..
“So, what are we watching?” asked Bette.
“TombRaider.”
“UUMMM, she is so hot.” said Bette.
“Yea, she is gorgeous.”
They sat back and enjoyed the movie..not saying a word…Halfway into the movie, the popcorn was gone and they were now sitting a little closer. Bette leaned over to Tina and whispered into her ear, “Can I put my arm around you?”
Tina got a little scared but she agreed, “Yes.”
Bette put her arm around Tina, and Tina felt her insides melting…this woman’s touch..what was it doing to her? She had never felt these feelings before…they were a little scary but very welcoming..She felt safe in her grasp. Tina leaned her head over onto Bette’s shoulder, and let out a sigh. They continued to watch the movie as Bette ran her hand up and began to stroke Tina’s hair gently..This lasted the rest of the movie..and after it was over, Bette sat up and yawned..She knew she wouldn’t be able to control herself much longer in the prescence of Tina, so she had to get out of there.
“I really have to be going..It’s late and I have to go into the gallery tommorrow.”
“I wish you didn’t have to go…” said Tina as she looked into Bette’s eyes.
“I’m sorry I have to cut it short, but I would be honored if you could go with me to a movie or something tommorrow?” said Bette.
“If it’s okay, I would like to come by the gallery and see you.”
“Yea, I would love for you to come by…oh, what did you ever do with that painting?”
“I put it up in my office at work..that’s where I spend most of my time.”
Bette smiled a pleasing smile..”So, you’ll be by around 2 or so?”
“Yea, 2 or so.”
Just then the phone rang..
“Aren’t you going to get that?” asked Bette.
“Na..I don’t really want to talk to him right now.”
Beep…Dammit Tina, where the ***** are you? Call me soon…Bye. Click.
“Tina, is he always hateful like that?”
“Only times like this…..”
“Like what?”
“Like when he doesn’t know what I am doing.”
“I am really sorry if I have made things hard on you. That was never my intention.”
“I know.” said Tina with a smile… Bette walked to the door with Tina hot on her trail..
She opened the door then turned around, “Tina Kennard,thank you for going with me tonight, and I have to say that this has been one of the best times of my life..having such a beautiful woman in my prescense.”
“It just so happens to have been the best night of my life…” said Tina smiling.
Bette couldn’t resist…she stepped closer to Tina, and rested the palm of her hand against Tina’s face…she adamantly looked into Tina’s eyes, into her soul, and slowly leaned in to kiss her. Tina closed her eyes and felt the soft feel of Bette’s lips to hers..it was a small kiss, yet it sent Tina into a whirlwind of emotions…at this point, she had never been as happy..it could only get better, she thought.
“Goodnight, Tina Kennard, I will see you tommorrow.” said Bette as she smiled then kissed Tina softly on the forehead.”Bye.”
Tina watched as Bette walked to her car and leave, waving as she did. ‘Oh my God…she is so wonderful and her kiss…jesus, I need a cold shower now.’
Bette was all smiles, she was finally getting Tina to that point..She had vowed to herself that she would eventually have her to herself and if things kept going so well, it would be much sooner than she thought. She arrived home and decided on a hot bath…thinking of Tina and how easy it is to fall in love….Tina, at home, had decided on a hot bath instead of a cold shower. As they both layed in hot bathes, in different homes in different neighborhoods, their thoughts were with eachother on a level that no other person on earth could ever compare to.”
