Dear Diary,

Had lunch with Bette again today and, well, I kissed her.  I haven’t kissed her since I picked up my earring at the gallery three weeks ago but I couldn’t help it.  We had finished lunch, walked to my car and we went to hug like we did every time that we went back to our jobs but this time when I moved closer to her it was like I had no control of my body.  I turned my face so I could look her in the eye and kissed her.  It felt like a lightning bolt shot through my body.  It was quick kiss but it was amazing.  I can honestly say that in the last ten years that I have been dating never once have I felt anything like that when I kissed someone.  When it was done we just stood there in silence looking each other in the eye for what seemed like a long time but I’m sure was only a few minutes until she stuttered that she had to get back to the gallery.  We parted and after I got in my car and drove away I let out what could only be heard as a cry of jubilation.  Not only had I kissed the most gorgeous woman that I have ever met but I made her stutter after it.  Does good for this ‘straight girl’s’ ego.

Dear Diary,

Yesterday I kissed Bette!  I still can’t believe it.  It was like a dream that you have but don’t know if it’s dream or reality.  It was most definitely reality though because when I spoke with Bette today it was like something had changed, like we were closer than before, like it was more than just a conversation with a friend.

Dear Diary,

I went to spent time with Bette today.  Not to her gallery; or to a restaurant but when she came to my house to pick me up to go out she brought me back to her house.  It is beautiful, a two bedroom ranch on this nice quiet street, with as expected all this amazing art displayed,  a nice sized kitchen, big dining room/office and the back yard though sparse of much greenery had this amazing pool.
