Bette chuckled softly “Well you got that right”

“So why did you call me?” Tina asked curiously.

Bette looked at Tina before looking back at the road “I figured I would take you away from those boring old men for a night” she said, winking at Tina.

“Yeah right” Tina laughed softly.

“You know this is my first date with a woman”

“I figured” Bette smiled.

“Why did you figure that?”

“Well you told me that you were straight so that made me assume that you haven’t been on a date with a woman before”

“Oh yeah right” Tina smiled.

“Can I ask you something?” Bette asked.

“Of course”

 “Did you say yes to this date because I offered more money or because you wanted to?”

“Look Bette…this is my job” Tina said “Of course I couldn’t say no when you offered more money”

“So you didn’t want to come?”

“I didn’t say that” the blonde blushed.

Bette chuckled and shook her head, deciding to drop the question. Soon they arrived at the California Art Center which was where the dinner was being held.

 “So this dinner… what is it for?” Tina asked Bette as they walked inside.

“It’s just a thing they do every year” Bette started “They invite artists and other people in the art industry…it’s great for making new connections”

“Oh” Tina said looking around “You know I got to say I like your gallery more than this” she smiled.

“Thank you” Bette smiled back “I actually worked here before I started my own gallery”

“When did you start your own?”

“About five years ago” Bette said before they were interrupted.

“Bette!” A beautiful dark haired woman exclaimed as she walked up to them, hugging Bette and kissed her on the cheek.

“Vanessa” Bette smiled “How are you?”

“I’m great” she said “I heard about your show last Saturday I’m sorry I couldn’t be there myself, I heard it was pretty amazing”

“Well yes it was probably my best work” Bette smiled “Oh Vanessa this is Tina Kennard” Bette introduced them.

“You always had a thing for the blondes huh Bette?” Vanessa winked as Bette blushed.

“Did she tell you about us?” she turned to Tina.

“Um no?” Tina said slowly.

Bette shot Vanessa a warning look as the raven-haired woman started talking “Well you see Bette and I dated for a couple of months before she decided to sleep with my assistant who for your information was a blonde” Vanessa chuckled but her eyes were cold as ice.
