“Hey” Tina smiled shyly as she walked in.

“Hey” Bette smiled as she turned the water off and reached for the paper towel to dry her hands “Are you enjoying the show?” she asked as she dried her hands and threw the paper away before turning to Tina.

“Yeah it’s incredible” Tina smiled.

“Thank you” Bette smiled.

“Have you sold anything yet?”

“Actually more than half of the paintings are gone already” Bette said, shaking her head “This is the first time I’ve ever sold this many paintings on an opening night”

“Wow that’s great” Tina smiled “I bet the artists are very happy”

“Oh they’re thrilled” Bette chuckled.

They turned silent for a moment, neither wanting to end the conversation but neither of them really knowing what to say.

“So…that girl you were talking to, is she your girlfriend?” Tina smiled.

Bette laughed softly, shaking her head “God no, Alice and I are only friends”

“But you are gay right?” Tina asked, seeing Bette raise her eyebrows at her “I’m sorry” she added quickly “That was inappropriate…it’s just well Alan told me and I got curious”

“It’s ok” Bette smiled as she looked at the blushing blonde “Yes I’m gay, what about you?”

“Me?” Tina asked shyly.

“Yeah” Bette chuckled “Are you straight, gay, bi?”

“I’m straight” Tina smiled “I mean…I think I am” she chuckled softly.

Another woman walked into the restroom and smiled politely at the two women before making her way into one of the stalls.

“Well…” Bette smiled as she started walking towards the door “Everyone is straight until they’re not” she said, winking at the blonde before exiting the restroom.

Tina let out a soft chuckle at the brunette’s words before shaking her head and making her way into one of the stalls.

Later that evening Bette was in her office to get some papers as she heard a small knock. She looked up to find Tina by the door.

“Hey” the blonde smiled at her.

“Hey” she smiled back “Come in”

Tina took a few steps inside.

“I just wanted to say goodnight…we’re leaving now”

“Oh ok” Bette said “Goodnight” she smiled.

“And I wanted to give you this” Tina smiled as she walked up to Bette and handed her a small business card “If you ever need a date to an event or something”
