Bette winked at Tina and held out her hand for Tina to hold and waited for Tina’s response . ’ What’s going on with her ?? ‘ thought Bette .

A few moments went by . Tina just stood there dumbfounded and angry after hearing Bette’s initial response , that whatever Bette had said to her later on , hadn’t quite registered in her mind . She did notice the pained look on Bette’s face .

She thought , why is Bette looking so pained ? Would it hurt her too much to have coffee with me ? Wait a minute , now why is Bette smiling at me and holding out her hand ? Does she want me to hold her hand but why ? Tina thought but then suddenly the realization of what Bette had said to her just now, finally dawned upon her .

Tina’s face instantly lit up and she exhaled slowly, releasing all the wound up tension and relaxed . ’ Oh my god ! why am I jumping to conclusions so quickly all of a sudden . Bette indeed is very happy to see me and she does want to have coffee with me . Easy Kennard . Don’t let all these emotions run a havoc on your mind . Get a grip . Stay in control . Breathe . Breathe ’

But looking at Bette smiling and holding out her hand ,Tina blushed and took hold of Bette’s hand as they made their way towards the coffee shop , both feeling anxious about what was going to be revealed and how it was going to affect their future .

All of this scene had played by within a matter of moments but the patrons nearby who were watching this scene being played out before their eyes were all mesmerized by the display of all these intense and varied emotions being played on the faces of these two exceptionally beautiful women who were surely oblivious of a world around them .

It was as if loads of emotions were being conveyed only through their eyes and facial expressions . The people around could feel the deep connection that these two women shared .

It was only going to be matter of time before these two realized that . There was so much to catch up on , so much to be made up for the lost time . There was so much to talk about , so much to tell , so much to know and gather about each others’ lives .
