As the beautiful dreams took over Bette , comforting and caressing her heart and soul , she was the epitome of calm , having a beautiful smile on her face , her heart full of hope and future possibilities and love .

The next day Bette woke up happy and fresh . She hadn’t had such a peaceful sleep in a very long time . She felt completely energized . She was so very ready to take on the world . Bette was all excited to meet Tina today . She had so much to talk with her . She was going to see if there was a chance for a future together with Tina again .

Wow , she was definitely very excited and nervous all at the same time . Bette chuckled  , she was feeling like a teenager going on her very first date .

What was going to happen ??  How was Tina going to react ??  What was Tina going to say ??  Was yesterday just a dream ??  Would Tina still be interested in meeting with her ??  Will Tina call her ??  Why hadn’t Tina still called her ??  Ohh God !!! All these questions were driving Bette insane .

Finally , Bette decided to take a walk and get herself a cup of coffee to calm herself down . It was a beautiful cool New York morning and it seemed to be a perfect way to start a new and promising day .

Bette walked a few blocks and came to her favourite cafe . She was in her own little happy world , sporting the most beautiful , heart warming smile , that could give , even the happiest persons’ smile a run for its money .

She walked inside towards the counter and placed her order for a nice hot cup of Cappucinno . As she waited for her order she looked around the restaurant , taking in all the morning buzz , various people full of excitement and energy on this very fine morning .

Her attention was caught by the happy laugh of a small child , full of wonder , excitement and mischief  . The little girl was busy babbling in her cute baby talk . It was then that she heard that familiar laugh . Her heart skipped a beat and she turned around slowly in the direction of that laugh .

What she saw made her catch her breath in her throat . She gasped at the sight before her , her eyes instantly watering up and a lump rising in her throat . She stood there , her legs frozen to the floor , all the outside world forgotten and met the gaze of the woman sitting at the table in front of her…….., the one and only woman who had her heart , the one she was so elated to meet this morning , it was ‘ her Tee ‘ .

Tina was sitting at the table with another woman , both laughing , playing and talking with the little girl . They all looked so happy .

Bette whispered  softly  ” Ohh Baby…….. “

Tina was busy having her breakfast , when she got this funny feeling that someone was watching her . She heard someone gasp and as she raised her head to look at who that person was , she nearly choked on the piece of bread that she was eating . She was in complete shock .

There standing in front of her was her Bette , her face looking all pale and defeated , tears running down her cheeks , her body motionless .  

Their gaze met and Tina felt like she had been stabbed right in her heart when she looked in Bette’s sad and lost teary eyes . But before she could react , Bette had turned around and already left . All this had played out within a matter of milliseconds .

Tina ran out of the door calling after Bette  . But Bette was already gone . It was too late now .   By now Bette had disappeared among the hordes of people on the busy New York street .

Tina whispered as tears ran down her cheeks   ” Bette…….. !! Please wait…… come back…. !! Please baby , please come back to me . Its not what you think .”
