"Hey, T, let’s dance"She said as she stood up and offered her hand to Tina…

"Babe, are you sure? I mean, you always say you don’t want to make a fool of yourself with this music" …

"Well, what do you know? Maybe I can manage a few steps"She said as she pulled Tina up and into her arms… She whispered in Tina’s ear "Just trust me"

"We’re off ladies, feel free to join us in the dancefloor" Dared Bette as they turned to make their way to the dancefloor and Tina couldn’t believe her ears…

"Well, here we go" Said Bette under her breath as they were heading to the dancefloor

Chapter28: The L day – Part2:

 

Bette led Tina to the dancefloor by the hand. She placed Tina with her back to the DJ cabin. There, in the cabin, she saw Shane encouraging her with signals. The music was loud, but she could still talk to Tina without yelling. The song that was playing was a sort of latin pop song, so they started dancing softly, while they were dancing, Bette started talking.

"You know, T? There is something with these songs…" She trailed off while she swayed her body with Tina’s

"Something?"Echoed Tina

"Something… I don’t know, it’s really… noisy, alive, I don’t know. I mean, all the trumpets and the bongos…"She trailed off again.

Tina thought Bette was not pleased with the music and started softly"That’s how it’s supposed to be,babe. They kind of represent these people, their joy, emotions"

"Well, THAT’s for sure. I mean, have you heard, really heard the lyrics?"

Tina had no idea where this was leading "Not much…have you?" she asked Bette, with a surprised tone, when had Bette ‘heard really heard’ the lyrics of the songs?

"Well, yeah… they convey exactly what someone wants to say" In that moment, she twirled Tina around her and, without Tina noticing it, she nodded her head, giving Shane the go ahead.

"Take the next songs for example"Bette spoke softly to Tina’s ear "they say exactly how I feel about you" And it all happened so fast for Tina, that when she realized, Bette had her left hand on the small of her back and her right hand was holding Tina’s left hand in the air, with their hands entwined. In that moment, the intro of the song started playing.

Tina was really surprised. She hadn’t expected Bette’s swift motion and her mind was processing what Bette meant with ‘..exactly how I feel about you’ "Bab•?"

Bette leaned and whispered "Shhh… Don’t think. Just listen… and feel" She pulled back just in time to lock eyes with Tina, in a silent request to follow her lead
