“If you like this girl this much you shouldn’t give up” Dana said.

“Yeah Dana is right” Alice said.

Bette looked at her with an eyebrow raised “What?”

“Look I can see how much she means to you” Alice started “You never get this crazy over a girl” She smirked.

Bette smiled at her but the smile soon turned into a frown “I don’t know what to do”

“You need to do something really special” Dana said.

“Yeah knock her off her feet Porter” Alice smiled.

It was Monday night and Bette was the only on left at the gallery. She was pacing around looking at the paintings as her eyes fell on John Kerensky’s piece Waterfall, the piece that had captivated the blonde.

She picked up her cellphone from her pocket and dialed John.

“Hello”

“Hi John it’s Bette Porter”

“Bette! How are you?”

“I’m good” She replied “Listen John I have a buyer for your painting Waterfall”

“Really? That’s great!” John said “Who is it?”

“Me”

“You want to buy my painting?” John replied sounding surprised.

“You don’t have to sound so surprised John…you know how much I appreciate your work”

“Wow this is great Bette thank you”

“So I’ll send you a check ok?”

“That sounds perfect”

“Ok John” Bette smiled “Have a good night”

“You too Bette and again thank you”

Bette hung up the phone with a smile, taking one last look at the painting before heading home.

Tina was moping around her apartment like she had been doing all weekend. Everything had been so confusing since she first met Bette. She had never had feelings for a woman before and in a way it was scaring her.

At first she hadn’t known how to deal with those feelings but after their date all she wanted to do was kiss Bette, so she did and it was the most amazing kiss she had ever experienced. Bette had the softest lips, it was nothing like kissing a man.

She had been sitting by the phone all of Saturday before heading to HIT in hopes of seeing the beautiful brunette. When she saw Bette with that blonde she felt like her heart was crushed.

She knew she had overreacted since they had only been out on one date but her feelings for the brunette grew quickly and seeing her so close with someone else had been like a slap in the face.

She had spent all of Sunday at home doing nothing but dwelling over the night before. It was now Tuesday and she still hadn’t stepped foot outside the door. She was channel hopping as there was a knock on her door.

She opened the door to a delivery man.

“Hello are you Tina Kennard?” He asked.

“Yes” Tina answered a bit unsure.

“I have a package for you” He smiled “I just need you to sign here” he said handing her a pen and showing her where to sign.

Tina signed the paper and the delivery man handed her a big package.

She put the package down looking to see where it was from but it didn’t say. She slowly opened the package and gasped as the most amazing painting was revealed.

She looked for a note but couldn’t find any but it didn’t matter.

She knew who it was from.
