“She’s straight Bette”

“But you said…”

“Yea yea, I now what I said and I lied” Alice said cutting her off

“Good Bye Al” Bette said snapping her phone shut.

Bette walked back to the table where Tina was waiting anxiously.

“I thought that you had left” Tina said standing

“Never” Replied Bette without missing a beat.

Tina~

“Tina Kennard”

“Ms. Kennard, its Lana”

“Lana we’ve been over this a million times. Call me Tina”

“Right Tina, Mr. Leon just sent down a memo about a meeting that they want all the executives at” Lana replied

“So what’s the problem Lana?” Tina asked

“The meeting is at three”

“Okay?”

“Mr. Kennard, I mean Tina its two thirty now”

“Shit, it’s really two thirty? Did you reschedule my two o’clock?

“Yup all set for tomorrow at one”

“All right Lana, I’ll be there soon, Thanks” Tina said hanging up the phone. While she sat there waiting for Bette to come back to the table, she thought back to their first date and the time they spent at Bette’s house. Tina had never felt so comfortable with anyone before and that included Eric and she had lived with him. Around Bette she felt at ease and safe. She hoped that Bette felt the same way. Tina saw Bette walking back towards the table and stood up.

“I thought that you had left” Tina Said

“Never” replied Bette

Tina felt through those words Bette had just made an unspoken promise.

“I’m sorry that I have to cut our afternoon short, but my assistant just called and I have a meeting in twenty minutes” Tina explained

“It’s okay. I didn’t mean to keep you so long. I guess time just got away from us”

“It’s fine. I had a wonderful time”

“Okay well just let me go pay and we can be on our way”

“I think it’s my turn” Tina said “Besides you can pay for dinner tomorrow”

“Deal, I’m going to go get the car. I’ll meet you out front” Bette said and walked outside

Tina walked outside and Bette got out the car and opened her door.

“Bette you are such a sweetheart, a girl could get used to this kind of treatment” Tina said getting into the car.
