It was another hectic day at KPWX; Tina sat at her desk unable to concentrate on her work.  As the lunchtime events kept replying in her mind she couldn’t quite believe what had happened.  And what was the first thing she did?  She ran.  In her mind’s eye all she can see is Bette’s disappointed face fall and Tina immediately dropped her hand and muttered some sort of thanks and quickly hurried back to the safe haven of her office.  Tina kept coming back to the same feelings.  Feelings of Bette’s soft hand in hers, she had never felt anything so soft before.  The memory of Bette’s sultry tones melted Tina like chocolate.  Tina couldn’t understand why or how Bette was making her feel like this.  In the last 30 minutes since coming back from lunch Tina had experienced such a rush of emotions.  She had to mentally kick herself and remind herself that this was a woman she was thinking about.  How on earth did this happen?  Or how did she get to this?  Truth be told, Tina felt this way about Bette since she first set eyes upon her.  However until this moment in time she didn’t want to admit to herself these strong feelings of attraction.  Tina had never contemplated having this type of feeling for a woman before.  Suddenly things started to make sense.  She had never quite experienced sparks with Eric or any man for that matter.  But thought nothing of it.  Thought it was normal and that every woman felt like that.  Just as Tina was thinking about Bette’s soft hands and that 100 watt smile of hers, Oscar her co-worker’s voice came booming through her thoughts.

“Tina, Tina focus, ever since you came back from lunch you have not been with me.  We have a lot of work to get through, do you think we can maybe make a start today? Huh?” says Oscar.

Tina sighed and replied, “Alright, alright!  Let’s get to work.”

Meanwhile on the other side of the park, Bette couldn’t quite believe what had happened either.  She had never seen such a beautiful woman in her life before.  She had also felt the softness of Tina’s hand.  Even though she did not know Tina very well and had just about spoken to her, she felt she was falling and didn’t know how to stop.  No one had ever made her feel this way before.  Usually she was the one to remain in control.  Never with the one person long enough to know love and to rely on another.  Bette never let anyone get that close.  She always thought it was a weakness to let anyone in that deep.  She had taught herself from an early age to depend on no one else but her.
