"Can I buy you a drink?"

She didn’t know why but Tina just felt compelled not to deny Bette anything. Maybe it was her smile, or maybe even how gracefully she carried herself. Either way, Tina found herself nodding without hesitation. Bette’s smile widened as she held out her hand for Tina to take.

"Its pretty crowded in here. Hold onto me, I don’t want to lose you"

Tina nodded and placed her hand on top of the beautiful brunette before her and gasped at the tingle she felt when their hands touched. Bette must have felt it too because she looked down at their hands as she intertwined their fingers.

Bette led Tina through the club and headed for the bar. All the while, Tina’s heart continued to beat fast. She tried to relax so that her hand didn’t get sweaty and gross Bette out. They reached the bar and Bette gently tugged Tina’s arm so that she could stand beside her. She turned to face her and leaned close again.

"What would you like?"

Tina thought for a second before smiling shyly at Bette and shrugging.

"Surprise me"

Bette smiled, "Are you sure you trust me to choose your drink?"

Tina tilted her head towards Bette, her eyes looked up at the ceiling as if in thought.

"Well, I just feel confident enough that you won’t either kill me or spike my drink"

Bette let out a small laugh, "Oh? And how did you come to that conclusion?"

Tina held up her index finger, "For one, considering the way you lay on the charm, I doubt you’ll need to resort to spiking anyone’s drink"

Bette’s eyebrows raised as she nodded. Tina held up her middle finger.

"And for two. . ."

She leaned in closer to Bette and whispered, "You’re dressed way too nice to be a killer"

Bette felt a shiver run through her body as she laughed, "Touché"

Tina laughed too as Bette turned her head to face the bartender and ordered two Amaretto sours. Tina made a surprised face and nodded. Bette looked to her and smiled.

"What?"

Tina shrugged and smiled shyly again. Bette’s heart fluttered, she thought it was adorable.

"Nothing, I just didn’t peg you for an Amaretto sour kind of girl"

Bette shrugged, "Well, its a bit sweet but also a bit sour. So you get the best of both worlds. Its a trait I’m attracted to, to be honest. I like someone who can be sweet but at the same time, someone who can be tough. A person who doesn’t back down, gets a little rough but keeps their. . .shy composure"

Tina blushed at that last part because Bette made sure to look into her eyes as she said it.

The bartender brought their drinks, Tina grabbed hers as Bette paid. Tina was about to turn around to walk back to the group but Bette gently grabbed her wrist. She felt those tingles again.

"Do you mind staying here with me a bit longer? I love Alice but talks so damn much sometimes. I’d rather have a one on one conversation with you"

Tina smiled and nodded as she tried to hide her blush, "Sure, I’d love to"

Bette smiled as she turned her body so that she faced Tina, her side rested against the bar frame with her arm on top of the surface.

"So Tina, tell me about yourself"
