Previously…

Bette just got home from a successful meeting with Chancellor Phyllis Kroll for a possible stint at the California University as a college professor and was lounging in her wooden deck terrace, when her cell phone started to ring

She placed her iced tea on top of the table to answer the phone but noticed an unknown number flashing on the screen

“Hello?”

“I’m free this coming weekend, is Saturday okay?”

A huge smile registered on the brunette’s face when she realized the owner of the sweet and angelic voice on the other line

“Saturday is perfect!”

“Great, see you then!”

“Yeah see you…”

Chapter Nine

Tina had been in front of the mirror for about an hour now, continuously checking herself and scrutinizing every single detail that she saw in the mirror. Clothes piled up on her bed, shoes scattered everywhere on the floor, in other words– Tina’s once divine and immaculate clean bedroom was now looking like a hurricane had suddenly passed by and wreaked havoc.

The hazel eyed beauty had always been confident on her looks as a matter of fact many people, both men and women alike would always compliment her on how beautiful, stunning, gorgeous and sexy she was but now as she stood in front of the mirror looking at her own reflection, she was feeling well… a little insecure.  Partly because in just a few minutes she would be going out with an equally beautiful, stunning, gorgeous and sexy as hell Bette Porter. Another reason was, not only her soon-to-be date was a woman; the brunette was also ten years her junior.

Tina Kennard never dated a woman before and she was feeling crazy nervous right now.

Three days ago, she called Bette and told her that she would like to go out with her. The blonde felt butterflies in her stomach when the brunette told her that she was glad that finally she decided to go out with her and that she couldn’t wait for Saturday. The night after, Bette called her just to say goodnight and told her that she was thinking about her and she promised that she would make their first date really special and memorable.

That same night Tina dreamt about Bette again, however this time the dream wasn’t anything indecent. In her dream, she and Bette were walking on the beach, enjoying the feel of the sand on their feet and the warmness of their hands entwined together. They didn’t even kiss but what made that dream more special was that being with the brunette’s presence she felt so safe, secure and calm. Yes, it was only a dream but for her it felt so real.
