Bettes thoughts were filled with Tina as they made their way to the
restaurant. She turned around to look for her and found that she and Karen
were slowly making their way behind them.

When they reached the restaurant she went ahead and told the other women to
wait for her. She made her way to the hostess and asked if there was room
for them. The hostess told her that it would be about a ten minute wait and
that theyd come for her when the table was ready.

Bette made her way back out to the rest of the women to tell them. When she
got their she thought that is was presumptuous of her to think that Tina and
Karen would want to stay with them for lunch so she thought shed better
ask. She was turned towards Karen and asking her because she figured that
the women would want to spend more time with Shane so lunch would be an easy
sell to her.

After getting Karen to agree Bette turned towards Tina and was upset to
discover that the blonde beauty did not seem as excited at Karen at the
prospect of eating lunch with them. She didnt want Tina to have a bad time
so Bette decided that she would make it her mission at lunch to entertain
Tina. She was sure that there had been a connection between them earlier
and she wanted to try to explore that connection. But first shed have to
make Tina recognize that there was a connection there. Bette hoped that if
she enjoyed herself at lunch then maybe shed spend more time with Karen and
them. One could only hope.

Once they were shown their table and all seated, Bette beside Tina, Bette
leaned towards her to ask what she wanted for lunch. While everyone else
was busy staring at their menus Bette made sure that she leaned in a little
too close. With her mouth close to Tinas ear she slowly spoke to Tina, So
does anything appeal to you?

Tina was so taken aback from Bettes proximity and her comment that she just
continued to stare at her menu and took a deep breathe before nodding her
head, Yeahumthe chicken Cesar salad.

Shane had been watching the whole interaction across the table from them and
swallowed her laughter at the sight before her thinking to herself, poor
Tina she doesnt have a chance.
