She shook the thought of her boyfriend off. Tonight was all about having fun. She was really looking forward to it. It was such a coincidence that this Sam had studied Art History at Yale as well – that would probably give some interesting thoughts. She felt bad for Tina and Dave already, them being the only ones not being geeks about it.

Bette and Tina were immersed in a very deep kiss when the door bell rang. Reluctantly, Bette let go of Tina and went to open the door. Tina disappeared in the kitchen to check on all her food. It was a good thing that she only had to teach the first two hours on Fridays, or she would have never made it.

This evening meant a lot to both of them and she knew that Bette was aware of that. It seemed only yesterday they would be having discussions about the importance of friends in this new place. She remembered how hurt Bette would look sometimes, assuming falsely that this was a way for Tina to get rid of her. Luckily, she had been able to… reassure her. Tonight, they would meet up with the other’s friends. 

Tina knew that Bette wouldn’t hang out with immature people, so she didn’t think the age difference of their guests would be a problem. The blonde hoped that Bette would take more friends here, but of course that chance wasn’t very great. It was best that as few people as possible knew about their relationship. It was too dangerous with Emily around. Tina really hoped that girl would turn back into the old Emily Mulholland again, so that Bette could be honest and there would be less need to hide.

She walked back to the living room, where the dining table was ready. That was for later, however. Bette had already led their guests to the couch.

“Hey!” Tina greeted Sam and her boyfriend, Dave. She walked up to them and gave Dave a hand.

“So, you must be the famous Dave Cincinnati?”

“No, actually it’s Vince Jones, I’m an escort and she payed me well for the night, doesn’t look too bad, so…”

Sam slapped Dave – it looked rather hard and sounded rather hard. Dave hadn’t been able to duck away in time. He rubbed her painful spot and turned to Samn to give her a kiss.
