Previously…

TINA:  Phase three Charles.

CHARLES:  Right this way.

They all get in the car and the car pulls off leaving The Planet in memories of their first date forever.

TBC…

Bette looked at Tina and smiled.  She was so beautiful and everything she’d done for the night had won her heart.  She was falling in love with this beautiful blonde.  She knew in her heart that she was the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. 

Tina turned and looked at Bette, who was smiling.  She wondered if everything she did was to Bette’s liking.  She wanted to spend the rest of her life with Bette and what she had planned for the rest of the evening would either seal the deal or end it forever.  She was in love with this stunning beauty and nothing could pull her away from Bette.  She returned the smile to Bette who turned her head quickly.

Bette realized she had been staring at Tina for quite sometime.  She felt her face turning red from embarrassment.

TINA:  I’m sorry.  Did I do something wrong?

BETTE:  No, T.  Everything you’ve done tonight seems like a fairy tale.  I keep waiting for something to wake me up from this wonderful dream.  Please tell me everything is real.

TINA:  Everything is real Bette.  Why are you blushing? 

BETTE:  Oh, I was staring and didn’t realize it.  I’m sorry.

TINA:  You shouldn’t be sorry.  I’m the one who should be sorry.  I didn’t want you to get hurt earlier and turned out I was the one that hurt you.  Looks like you needed protection from me instead of Eric.

BETTE:  T, just don’t let it happen again. 

TINA:  After tonight, babe, I promise you that will never happen again.

BETTE:  I definitely hope so, because you hold the key to my heart, T.  When I’m around you, I’m like putty in your hands.  I feel like there’s nothing that could tear us apart.  I’ve never felt this way about anyone before.  If I get hurt again, I’ll lose it completely.  Promise me you won’t ever hurt me.

TINA:  Babe, you don’t know how long I’ve waited to hear those words come from anyone’s mouth.  I’m ecstatic that I heard it from you.  Bette, I promise that I’ll do everything in my power never to hurt you again.  After you left earlier, I was slapped in the face with the reality of me never being able to see you again.  I didn’t want that.  I knew I was wrong and had to get you back or else die a miserable life. 

The car stopped and Charles knocked on the window, which Tina cracked open and Charles handed Tina a blindfold.

CHARLES:  Phase three ladies.

TINA:  Thank you Charles.

Tina took the blindfold and handed it to Bette.

TINA:  Put it on.  Phase three is a special surprise. 

Bette took the blindfold.  She trusted Tina wouldn’t hurt her and put the blindfold on.  She couldn’t see anything.  Tina grabbed Bette’s hand.

TINA:  Are you ready my queen?

BETTE:  With you, I’m ready for anything.  You know this is a test of trust right?

TINA:  Yes, babe and I just want you to know, you can trust me.

Tina led Bette out of the limo.  Charles smiled as he was following behind them with the two overnight bags. 

TINA:  Bette wait here.

She put Bette’s hand on the pole to hold on to and walked back to Charles.

TINA:  Take the bags in the house, and wait inside with Gabe.

Bette stood there holding the pole feeling stupid. 

BETTE:  I’m standing here blindfolded and holding on to a pole in the middle of who knows where.  Come on T, where are you?

Tina started giggling.

TINA:  I didn’t know you talked to yourself.

BETTE:  Fuck you.  What do you expect leaving a doctor blindfolded in the middle of nowhere holding on to a pole?  I guess I was hoping the pole would talk back.

They both laughed.  Tina grabbed Bette’s hand and led her down some steps very carefully.  She didn’t want Bette to fall and hurt herself.  They walked along the boardwalk to a specially lit area where Tina had a blanket laid out.  Bette could hear the ocean waves crashing in the background.  She could feel the salty air against her skin.  Tina took off the blindfold and waited for Bette’s expression.
