…-*The Accident*-…

They drove to the nearest café they could find, and without word agreed upon it instantaneously. As they entered they noticed that the majority of people inhabiting the late night coffee shop were women. Posters of girl bands covered the walls along with concert memorabilia.
    “This is interesting…” Tina began to say but instantly a tall tan bohemian looking woman entered the conversation.
    “Hi there, would you gals like a table?” She smiled as they nodded and led them to the back of the strange café to a table for two. After they sat down and made themselves partially comfortable she laid two menu’s before them.
    “My name’s Hillary and if you have any questions about what you see on the menu, feel free to call me over and I’ll tell you what you need to know…. Okay?” Bette nodded her head.
    “Thanks.” The woman known to them as Hillary again smiled graciously and looked directly at Bette.
    “I’ll be back in a minute or two to take your orders.” Then she walked away. Tina smiled as she looked at the menu.
    “That was interesting…” Bette raised an eyebrow in Tina’s direction before also looking down at the menu.
    “How so?” Tina shrugged still smiling.
    “She never looked at me… It would seem she’s interested in you.” Bette laughed quietly and closed the menu, folding her arms on the table in front of her while looking across at the blond.
    “ She isn’t my type of woman.” Bette stated. Tina raised both her eyebrows and before she had time to stop herself the words came flying from her mouth.
    “And what type of woman is your type Bette?” Tina blushed instantly after hearing herself utter the question as Bette took this as a very inviting sign.
    “I’m a woman of specific needs…. I need someone who is intellectually stimulating and who doesn’t own a lesbian coffee shop.” Bette replied smoothly. The blond across the table smirked and closed her menu.
    “How do you know this is a lesbian establishment.” She asked, her voice dripping with amusement.
    “Well for one we are seated in front of a wall with the a vagina mural which is not exactly done very well….,” Bette waved her hand as she motioned to the wall which was in fact the focal point of the room displaying a colorful yet strangely painted piece of female weaponry. “ And on their drink list under the specific of smoothies they have the Pink Team Peach Smoothie and the Fantastic Ferrick Frappacino ….. I think this is a dyke establishment.” Tina giggled and Bette did nothing to hide her smile.
    “So what can I get for you two ladies tonight?” Hillary asked.
    “I’ll just have the Fantastic Ferrick Frappacino, thanks.” Tina replied as she handed the server her menu.
    “And I will have a piece of the Better Than Chocolate Cheesecake and a cup of tea.” Bette replied as she also handed the server her menu.
    “Coming right up.” The two woman sat in silence for a few minutes before Bette decided to get to know the woman sitting in front of her a little better.
    “Just out of curiosity, are you single or with a lucky guy…” Bette ventured. Tina shook her head as she again folded her hands.    
    “No men here, not as of three hours ago anyways.” Tina smiled. Bette felt her heart leap for joy. Bette nodded and leaned back in her chair.
    “Care to talk about it?” She asked in a bit more of a serious tone. Tina sighed and ran a hand through her hair.
    “Well, there isn’t much to say really, I wanted commitment and he didn’t, I wanted to settle down, he wanted to go out every night and do whatever then come home and expect me to be fine with that fact, I just couldn’t handle the feeling of being a lone and yet with someone who was never really there anymore, so I ended it.” Tina shrugged as Hillary brought their beverages.
    “I know that feeling.” Bette spoke gently. Tina smiled and tried her frappacino and as she pulled back Bette noticed a bit of chocolate syrup and found its way to the corner of Tina’s mouth. She reached across and used her thumb to wipe it away before realizing her action.
    “I’m sorry, you had some chocolate there.” Bette blushed then realized she was blushing replaced her insecurity with a confident smile. Tina felt a burst of electricity flow through her body making her stomach do flips when she felt the pad of Bette’s thumb skim across her lip.
