A DEFINING MOMENT

We all have moments in our life that we will remember forever.  We remember the tiniest details and each emotion felt.  We remember the feel of our own skin as something happens to our body that we can’t control.  We remember our eyes widening as a realization suddenly comes to the forefront of our thoughts as if a blanket was lifted and we can finally see.  We remember the exact moment when life took us to where we were supposed to be.

Tina stood at the bar, waiting somewhat impatiently for her vodka tonic to be prepared.  After paying the bartender, she turned to the crowd, allowing her eyes to survey the mass of people in the bar for the first time since entering. She took in the female crowd and felt an energy of excitement run through her.  She saw two women in the corner talking and touching with intimacy, a bunch of women dancing on the dance floor, and an obvious straight couple making out.  “What the fuck?”, Tina thought.  “What are they doing here?  Isn’t this a lesbian bar?”

Helena was in a VIP booth on the second floor meeting with her potential business partner.  Tina didn’t want to intrude and decided to just hang out and wait for her to be done.  Her plan was to stick as close to the bar as possible and be as inconspicuous as possible until Helena returned.

Alice and Shane sat in backseat of Bette’s car giggling like school girls.  Bette could hear them whisper back and forth, but tried to pay no attention.  She glanced in her rearview mirror and gave them both a glance that screamed “stop!!”.  That only made them giggle more.  

“So, how was work today?”, Bette asked her date sitting in the passenger seat.  

There was no denying that her date was hot.  She was petite, long brown hair, and in great shape.  Bette met her while at spin class the other morning and suggested that they hang out.  Anyone who can peddle that fast must have stamina in other areas too.

As the two ladies up front chatted, Alice and Shane rolled their eyes and continued laughing.  Everyone in the car knew how this night would end.
