Bette smiled brightly as she looked at the blushing blonde “I’m glad you’re here”

“You are?” Tina asked with a small smile.

“Yeah…I was thinking about you all day” Bette admitted “I wanted to call you but I just…” she trailed off, not knowing how to tell Tina about her discomfort regarding her job.

“What?” Tina asked.

“To be honest I don’t exactly know how to deal with your job” Bette said, seeing Tina’s confusion turn into hurt as the blonde turned her gaze away.

“I’m sorry Tina but you have to understand that this is a pretty awkward position for me”

“What do you mean?” Tina asked, still looking hurt by the brunette’s words.

“I’m seeing a supposedly straight woman who also happens to work as an escort…it’s just…I don’t know, it’s just not ideal you know”

Tina swallowed as she looked down at the floor, she stayed quiet for a moment to take in what the brunette was telling her before letting out a deep sigh and looking back up at Bette “Then why did you ask me out in the first place? I was up front with my profession from the moment we met, you could’ve taken anyone to that dinner last night, why did you take me?”

Bette looked down and sighed before looking up at Tina again, a smile formed on her face “I needed to see you again, I couldn’t get you out of my head after meeting you”

“Tina!” a dark-haired, slightly intoxicated woman walked up to Tina, throwing her arm around her “I’ve looked everywhere for you, Jamie is by the bar upstairs buying everyone shots”

Tina chuckled at her friend before looking up at Bette “This is my friend Kate, Kate this is Bette” Tina said introducing the two women to each other.

“Bette?” Kate laughed “The same Bette that you’ve been rambling on and on about all day?”

Tina blushed and turned her gaze away as Bette chuckled “It’s nice to meet you Kate” she smiled, shaking the dark-haired woman’s hand “How do you two know each other?”

“Tina is one of my oldest friends, we met in kindergarten and has stuck with each other for all these years” she smiled “Actually I had a crush on Tina in high school but she was miss straighty pants” Kate laughed “well until she met you that is” she winked at Bette as Tina got even redder.
