Tina sat in the seat across from Bette and just looked at her.  She felt a warm feeling run down her back and gave her goosebumps.  

Bette: "So, what are you getting?"

Tina shook her head momentarily "Uh.."

Just as Tina was going to speak, Kit walked over.  "Hey there, baby si!" 

Bette "Hey, Kit."  She stood to hug her sister. "How are you doing?"   

Kit "I am still working hard.  How are you baby girl?"

Bette "I’m fine.  I want you to meet Tina.  Tina this is kit, my older sister."

Kit "Hey there, Tina.  You dating my sister, now?  You better not break her heart!"  With a playful smile.

Tina "Uh…no, we aren’t…you know…I’m not…we’re not…" Turns to Bette. "Are we…?"

Bette "No, Kit.  She is just a friend.  And we are trying to get to know one another better, okay?  So can you please not put my friends on the spot?"

Kit "Ok…sorry for jumping to conclusions.  Are you ready to order yet?"

Tina "Oh, yeah.  I wll have that ceasar salad is good along with a nice cup of tea."

Bette " That sound wonderful.  I think I’ll have the same."  

Kit "Ok, Iwill be back soon with you food."  Kit winks at Bette and walks away.  This doesn’t go by unnotices by Tina.

Tina smiles. "You have a wonderful sister.  She seems like a cool and fun big sister."  

Bette "She is, but sometimes she can be a bit irriatating."  She smiles her thousand watt smile.  " But, I would like to her more about you."  

So…for the next hour Tina told Bette about herself, and Bette told some parts of her life, but Tina had a feeling that Bette wasn’t sharing everything.   Ever so often, Bette would flash her smile or laugh at Tina’s cute stories and evertime it warmed Tina’s heart.  

Bette "Shit! I have my meeting in half an hour.  Time just flew by didn’t it?"

Tina "Yes, it did."

Bette "Well, I have to get going"  Tina walked Bette to her car.  

Tina "It was a pleasure sharing brunch with you, Bette."

"It was a pleasure talking with you.  May I ask you something?"
