Bette had decided to fight for this woman whom claimed that she was straight..and in love with her boyfriend, Brad. Somehow, something drew her to this woman and she was not going to give up until she had her. Helping Tina see the truth; the truth that she was into women, and the right woman, her soul mate, was right in front of her. Little did she know, Tina was already thinking about her all the time, but she felt confused about it..It was all so new to her.. She felt something very different for Bette than she did for Brad. She found herself wanting to see Bette more, and even occassionaly riding by the gallery just hoping that Bette would be standing outside or something. That never happened though, because Bette always had something to do inside that kept her busy.
After going to the Art gallery, a week went by and no Bette. Tina had told her where she worked to see if she would show up. Although she didn’t know what she would do if Bette did show up..
Deep in her heart, she wanted her to come there, but in a way she didn’t because she still didn’t understand her feelings….what was going on?…
The next Friday, Bette decided that it was time to persue this woman again.
At Tina’s office, there was a knock at her door. “Yea?” she said as she was heavily into her paperwork. The door didn’t open…knock knock knock
“Come in. Damn.” she shouted
Two guys walked in with a large package that was wrapped.
“I was asked to deliver this and not to forget to give you this.” one of the guys said handing Tina an envelope.
“What the *****?” asked Tina.
“I was told to make sure you opened the envelope and read the materials inside before opening your gift.”
Tina was beside herself. What in the ***** is this about she thought.
“Ok” she said as she opened the envelope.
Inside there was a letter. She opened it and began to read:
My Dearest Tina,
I know that you said you didn’t think it was a good idea that
we see eachother again, but I have to tell you that you are all
I think about. I cannot get you out of my mind..this gift is
from me to you because I know that you love it soo much.
I hope you put it up somewhere where you can see it all
of the time, and think about me. Please, just
reconsider seeing me again…
Bette..

Tina was absolutely in awe. She didn’t know what to say or what to think. She walked over to the package and unwrapped it. She stood there with the biggest smile on her face…This is a gift from me to you she remembered reading…Oh, how sweet. Noone has ever done anything quite like this for me before. *****. What do I do? Do I call her or go see her? I have to thank her for this..*****, it was only 25,000 dollars..lol..
Tina decided to leave the office early and go by the gallery to thank Bette. As she arrived and walked in, the gallery was full of people. She just wandered around looking at the art. Oh, she thought, the new art must’ve been shown today..and I got the first dibs on seeing it..she kept walking and stopped quickly as she spotted Bette talking to someone..
Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt all weak in the knees. Her stomach was in knots, god she is so beautiful thought Tina. She stood and watched her for several moments….just studying the piece of art that became so real to her…
A few moments later, Bette looked away from the person she was talking to, and saw Tina standing there. ‘*****’ she thought, ‘Did i dress okay? Is my makeup okay? oh *****, my hands are getting sweaty and I feel really weak right now. *****..here goes nothing’ . She spoke to the person she was talking to, then softly rubbed their arm, and smiled..she then started walking towards Tina.
Tina was beginning to freak..*****, why am I here? Here she comes..I’m dressed so ***** today, I don’t even look like myself for god’s sake. I came here to say thank you…nothing else…I don’t like her in that way…I am straight…but her mind wandered to what Bette looked like under all those clothes…stop it Tina..damn..
Bette walked up, “Tina, hi. This is a nice surprise.” she said..
“Not as much as the surprise I got today.” said Tina.
“Did You like it?” asked Bette as she widely smiled.
“Like it? no…no..I absolutely loved it. Noone has ever done anything like that for me before..so I guess that a thank you is in order.” said Tina not really wanting to reveal what she was actually thinking…’i want this woman’.
“Maybe you could thank me over dinner?” asked Bette as she slowly touched Tina’s arm.
Tina felt her body shiver..oh my god, her hands are so soft..much unlike Brad’s touch..This touch was very different for Tina, which confused her even more.
“Um, I don’t know.”
“C’mon, you owe me dinner for that painting.” said Bette smiling.
“I don’t know.” said Tina trying to say no but not really wanting to.
“We can go anywhere you choose. Dinner is on me.”
“No. I can’t let you do that..you have already spent enough money on me for one day..or even a lifetime for that matter.”
“So, that means that you want to go with me, then?” asked Bette.
Tina looked down at the floor.
Bette touched her arm again, “I don’t bite, you know. It’s just a friendly dinner. I will be good, I promise.”
“I’m supposed to cook dinner for Brad tonight.” said Tina looking Bette in the eyes.
“Do you always cook for him? C’mon, one night is all..you can let someone else cook for you for a change.”
“*****. Okay. When do you want me to meet you?”
“Will Brad be at your place?” asked Bette
“No.”
“I will be out of here in about an hour or so, I will pick you up then.”
“Pick me up? I can drive you know?” said Tina.
“I know, but I don’t mind picking you up…”
“Okay, so I will see you in an hour or so?” asked Tina.
“okay.” said Bette as she turned to walk away.
Tina turned to leave, her stomach still knotted up. *****, Tina. You are not supposed to agree to do that…you are with Brad..a male…you love men…after a minute she told her sub-conscience to shut up. Something is drawing me to her, and I have no idea what it is but I can’t stop it…no matter how much I tell myself that I love men…I can’t get this woman out of my mind, she is mysteriously growing on me.
Bette told her right hand person that she had some things to take care of and she left. She went home, showered and got changed, then left to go to Tina’s.

An hour later:
knock knock knock…
“Coming.” yelled Tina.
I wish thought Bette as she broke a smile.
Tina opened the door.
“Wow.” said Bette as she stood before this beauty.
“Wow, yourself” said Tina wondering where that comment came from.
“I know that I said you could pick the place to go, but I took the liberty of making reservations at one of my favorite resturaunts in town…It’s a little Thai resturaunt..I hope you don’t mind that I did that?”
“*****.” said Tina
“What? Thai food okay?”
“no.no.I love Thai food, it just so happens to be my favorite..it’s almost like you read my mind…I have been craving that all day.”
Great minds think alike thought Bette.
“Well, in that case, why don’t you come in so I can change….I don’t think blue jeans and a tank-top are proper attire for a place such as that.” said Tina as she backed up to let Bette in..
“Wow, nice place.” said Bette.
“Thank you.” said Tina..”Help yourself to a drink or something..I’ll be right back…” Tina walked into the next room..Bette began to walk around and look, mostly just being nosey, trying to find out more about Tina. As she turned to walk towards the kitchen she was stopped dead in her tracks by seeing the mirror in the bedroom…Tina was taking her shirt off, and putting another on..Bette could feel herself getting really wet, as she watched Tina slide her pants down over her hips and stand there in nothing but a thong…Oh my God…thought Bette as she turned around..If I don’t quit looking now, I’m gonna take advantage of the situation…
In another minute, Tina came out…
“You look even better now than you did before.” said Bette.
Tina looked shyly to the floor…”Thank You.”
“You are welcome…Don’t look down at the floor…Hold your head up proud..you are a very beautiful woman, Tina Kennard.”
Tina melted on the inside. Oh my god, this lady is absolutely awesome she thought….
“Shall we go?” asked Bette as she walked to the door and opened it for Tina..
Tina didn’t answer, she just smiled and walked towards the door..
Bette stood there and as Tina walked up, “After the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes upon.” Bette held her hand and arm out for Tina to go first.
Tina just smiled and walked through the door. Bette closed it behind them…
