It took a lot for Tina to keep her mind on work and meetings when all she wanted to was see Bette. She counted down the minutes. To Tina it felt like being back in school and counting down the minutes until recess.

Finally the clock hit Twelve and Tina bolted out her office door telling Her Secretary Lana that she would be back in an hour and a half and to hold her all her calls. And with that she took off for her long awaited date with the extremely beautiful Gallery Owner Bette Porter.

Bette made sure that she made it to the restaurant early. Since she had been there many times before she knew that staff by name. She wanted to make sure that everything was perfect. A nice bottle of wine, candles, a secluded table where they could see everything and everyone and no one could see them.

Rather than see her enter, Bette felt her presence. She silently waited. She didn’t bother to wave her over because if Bette felt Tina then Tina felt Bette. As she sat there and thought about what all this meant she didn’t notice Tina walking up behind her.

Tina placed a hand on Bette’s shoulder and Bette turned around and gave her the Porter Million Dollar Smile.

“Tina” Bette said in a whisper as she stood up to greet her. Bette went to kiss Tina on the cheek and miss and caught her on the corner of her mouth. Tina blushed slightly enjoying the contact between the two them.

“Have you been waiting long?” Tina asked as she sat down.

“Not really. I came here early. Are you ready to order?” Bette asked.

“What do you recommend?” Tina asked

“How about Veracruz style Red Snapper or the Grilled Chile Shrimp” Bette Suggested

“How about you get one and I get the other, that way we can share?” Tina asked.

“Sounds like a plan” Bette replied

They engaged in small talk until their food arrived. They took turns feeding each and staring into each others eyes. Tina had decided on the way over to let Bette know that it was over between her and Eric.

She didn’t know exactly where the relationship between her and but she wanted to be sure that what ever happened that Bette knew that Eric was no longer a problem.
