2005- Bette Writing-

I try to think back and remember that point when everything changed. I remember that time in my life when everything seemed so right. Almost perfect. When I was on cloud nine and I never wanted to come downnot for anything. My world was complete. I used to always think that you could never find the one. You always hear people talking about finding the one. I never could understand it. Then I met Tina. My whole world changed. I suddenly felt alive. Tina made me feel so alive. I would give anything for just one more chance. One more dayone more hour one more minuteone more second.

Its all over now

1997-How it all began-

Oh my god Porter! What the ***** are you thinking? Bette thought to herself as she was sitting at the bar not really knowing what she was looking for, Why would I even think of letting Alice set me up on a blind date?

Bettes eyes suddenly became fixated on a thin, beautiful, blonde who just timidly walked through the door. Bette followed the beauty with her eyes as she walked through the restaurant and over to the bar. Bette thought she had heard an angel when the stunning woman casually said, Hi, Can I get a Cosmopolitan? to the bartender. The woman sat herself down on the barstool beside Bette unintentionally giving her a strong scent of her sweet musk. Are you meeting someone? Bette tried to nonchalantly ask. The woman gave Bette a questioning look. Bette tried to revert, Im sorry You looked like you are waiting for someone..I.I mean I just It was very unlike Bette to have a loss for words. With a shy, southern smile then woman replied, YesYes I am. Is it that obvious? How could you tell? I think it must be some sort of unspoken rule that the people sitting at a bar alone are either really desperate or waiting for someone. By looking at you I would imagine you are the latter. Bette said trying to flirt as much as possible. The beauty from the south was flattered but somewhat hesitant in the reaction, Youre right. It is the second choice. The two women grinned at each other for a moment and then they endured an excruciating moment of silence. Bette decided she had to be the one to keep this going, Dont worryI am here on a blind date. Well, it hasnt started yet I let my friend Alice set me up and now I am starting to regret it. I dont even know what the woman I am looking for looks like. All I know is that she is supposed to be wearing a blue colored button-up blouse The woman developed a shocking look that crept across her face Oh my as she looked down at her shirt, I was told to wear a blue blouseIWell, The dry cleanersthey ended up having a busy day today and well, I went to go get my shirt today and it wasnt ready. Bettes face brightened up, the thought that this woman was her date excited her. Oh my godAlice actually came through on this one, Bette thought to herself. The woman suddenly interjected Bettes thoughts; I had no clue I was going on a date with a woman thoughthats just like my sistershes always trying to fix me up with one of her friends. Bettes face suddenly developed a sad look, Soooyou didnt know you were going on a blind date with a woman? The woman lightly put her hand on Bettes arm, No, I didnt. That is just like my sister! What the *****, we are already ready here; lets have a fun evening! Im Tina by the way
