“Well thank you for that information Vanessa, now if you’ll excuse us” Bette said before taking Tina’s hand and leading her away. She walked the blonde outside and took a deep breath before turning to her “I’m sorry Tina, Vanessa can be a real bitch” she said, shaking her head.

“Hey you don’t have to apologize to me” Tina said placing a hand on the brunette’s arm. Bette smiled at the blonde’s touch “Thank you”

“For what?”

“For coming here with me tonight…I couldn’t have done this alone”

“I’m sure you could have gotten someone to come here with you” Tina smiled “From what I hear you’re quite the player” she teased.

“Yeah right” Bette chuckled quietly as she turned her gaze down.

 “Why don’t we just forget about Vanessa and everyone else and just enjoy this evening?” Tina said softly, trying to make the brunette feel better.

“Yeah, I’d like that” Bette smiled.

Tina took Bette’s hand and they headed back inside.

The dinner went smoothly and Tina found herself having a great time with the brunette. She had actually been ecstatic when Bette had called her to invite her to this dinner. She didn’t know what it was with the brunette but she felt a connection to her. The night when she had met Bette she hadn’t been able to keep her eyes off of her, there was something that drew her towards the brunette. Although she thought of herself as straight she found Bette highly attractive, but then again, who wouldn’t? The brunette was absolutely gorgeous.

Tina was in the restroom when she bumped into Vanessa.

“Tina was it?” Vanessa asked smiling.

“Yeah…”Tina said as she went to wash her hands.

“So how long have you and Bette been dating?”

“This is actually our first date” Tina answered as she washed her hands.

“Oh wow I didn’t expect that” Vanessa said.

“Why?” Tina said with a frown as she got a paper towel and dried her hands.

“Well I’m surprised you stayed after my little confession” Vanessa smiled “Most girls have a tendency to leave when they find out the truth about Bette Porter”

“I guess I’m not most girls then” Tina smiled back at her as she threw the paper towel away.
