"Who was that? A member of the Bette Porter fan club I take it?"

Bette’s eyes widened as she jumped and turned to look at Tina, "Fan club?"

Tina shrugged, "Oh come on Bette. Don’t tell me you don’t notice everyone checking you out. They’re all waiting in line to see if you’d give them even the slightest look of interest"

Tina did her best not to sound bitter at the comment but she didn’t do too well.

Bette shrugged innocently. She heard the bitterness in Tina’s voice and tried to lighten the mood.

"To be honest I haven’t noticed. I was too busy focusing on you. I’m actually surprised you noticed. I thought you were focused on me"

At the end of her sentence, Bette pouted. It was so adorable, Tina couldn’t help but laugh. Bette smiled but Tina’s laughter quickly died down and Bette looked at her with worry.

"Look Tina . . . I’m not sure what you saw but its not what you think"

Tina shrugged coolly, "Bette its cool, don’t worry about it. You’re this hot young bachelorette and I’m . . . . . straight!"

Tina laughed at the last part and Bette looked at her with sadness. Not wanting to make a fool of herself and say something stupid, Tina turned to walk away as Bette’s mouth opened and closed, unsure of the right words to say.

Tina took one step and slipped on a spilled drink. Bette quickly caught her before she fell, wrapping her arms around her waist as Tina fell into her embrace. Bette however didn’t have enough time to brace herself and fell back against the wall with Tina pressed flush against her.

They froze in place, their faces so close together their breaths mingled and their lips were only a whisper away from each other. Everything seemed distant, as if Bette and Tina were in their own little world. The music played but they heard no sound. The people felt like a blur around them. Their breathing picked up as Bette tilted her head up and rubbed her nose against Tina’s.

Tina had a grip on Bette’s shoulders and squeezed them tight as she felt her nose touch Bette’s. Her heart was beating so fast, Tina feared it would come out of her chest. Bette slowly leaned down and oh so lightly grazed her lips against Tina’s.
