Fire and Ice Chapter 8
April 1999 Los Angeles
It had been several weeks since the gallery exhibit, but neither woman could completely shake the intensity of their first meeting…it was as if the energy of their introduction now resided in their bones, refusing to quiet the gentle tremors it produced in memory of that evening…
Bette, always consumed in her work, found herself suddenly distracted. She had thought about the blonde woman daily since the night they met, concocting plans to get them in the same space once again.
It wasn’t long before a divine opportunity presented itself.
Bette decided she would invite Tina and Eric to one of her infamous artist dinners. She was planning one to take place the following week in her gallery…the very same place where she had first set eyes on the intoxicating blonde…
Afterall, the invitation would seem ordinary enough. Eric was always so enthusiastic and grateful for the opportunity to meet and rub shoulders with various artists. Besides, he had attended several dinners in the past, albeit sans Tina…
Bette would make sure to mention Tina this time, insist that the invitation was for both of them. Surely no one would catch on to her strategy…except maybe for Tina.
Tina had a way of looking at Bette that made her feel completely exposed, like her intentions were written all over her face.
She had totally caught Bette off guard with her immediate admission of her sexual preference once they were left standing alone together in the gallery.
Was Bette really that obvious? Indeed, Bette was shamelessly flirting with Tina…the blonde had been right about that. But Bette simply could not stop herself…it was a feeling she was not accustomed to experiencing. Yet, Bette didn’t mind losing this tiny portion of her self-control to Tina…the blonde absolutely captivated her.
"Straight girl crush…" Bette mused to herself, shaking her head out of the clouds.
Bette instantly felt ashamed. She thought about Eric and the kind of friend he had been to her. They were by no means close, but he was such a nice man, so unassuming and accomodating…He had also been a huge supporter of Bette’s professional endeavors, always going the extra mile to promote her gallery. What right did she have to be lusting over his girlfriend?
