The Tower Of Learning

"A true soul need not hide his thoughts."  – Hjalmar Söderberg

Bette walked Titania back to the table and pulled her chair out for her to sit, which Trever didn’t notice because he was too busy talking to the short man next to him. Throughout the dinner Titania and Bette stole glances. It was just as the first time was for Bette. Moments repeating themselves at such a later point in time. Then soon it was over. Some of the artists stayed but Titania and her boyfriend left. Not without Bette giving the blonde her bracelet and Bette was granted a hug and handshake from both Trever and Titania. Soon Bette decided to take her leave and as she walked out the restaurant she pulled out her cell phone and looked at it for messages and a flicker of shine caught her eye as she looked down. She bent down and picked up an earring. The same earring she had taken from Titania’s blonde locks. Bette smiled.

Bette: Okay Tina, you made your point quite clear.

TBC…

Bette drove home slowly. Mulling over the fact that she had Titania’s earring in her pocket. She couldn’t wipe the grin off her face. She pulled into her driveway and just sat there. She looked at her home. Then her cell phone rang.

Bette: Bette here.

Titania: Hey Bette, I honestly have no idea why I am calling you right now, but uh, I lost my earring so I’m out driving around I just left the restaurant and I have no idea why I am going to ask you this I just have the feeling to somehow, but, did you find my earring?

Bette: It’s in my pocket.

Titania laughed out loud.

Titania: You cannot be serious.

Bette smiled softly.

Bette: I’m serious.

Titania: Would you mind if I came by and picked it up? Because Trever was about to kill me when I said I had lost it.

Bette laughed softly.

Bette: Come on over.

Bette gave Titania her address and Titania said she was on her way. Bette stepped out of her car and sat down on the stairs to wait. She remembered what had happened the first time Tina came to pick up her earring. It was the second day she had ever met Tina, and she didn’t know it at first, but the first time she had laid eyes on the blonde she had given her heart away with that gaze. Titania pulled up and got out of her car. Bette stood up and walked towards Titania.
