KNOCK! KNOCK!

Bette: Come in

The door opens…

Tina: You wanted to see me?

Bette: Yes I did

Bette stands from her desk as Tina closes the door…The blond turns and admires Bette’s new desk

Tina: Wow! When did you get this?

Bette smiles

Bette: Yesterday. They delivered while I was gone

Tina: I like it

Bette: You do?

Tina walks closer to the desk…She lifts her hand up

Tina: May I?

Bette: Sure

Tina runs her hands over the hand carved wood…

Bette: Tina the reason why I called you here was to ask you could we start over

Tina looks at Bette

Bette: I know that you told me that you couldn’t be around me but I need you in my life Tina

Tina: You do?

Bette: I do. There is something about you that makes my heart skip beats as well. You make me feel good about what I’m doing and no one has ever showed me what you’ve done.

Tina: But Bette I didn’t show you anything

Bette walks closer to Tina and she takes her by the hand

Bette: You did. You bought out the true Bette Porter. I have so much fun working with you. I love seeing you everyday. I can never get enough of you. I wouldn’t mind getting to know you better as friends if that’s possible. I promise that I won’t push up on you. If it were possible I would tie my own hands behind my back just to prove it

Tina laughs

Bette: I love making you laugh and I love making you smile. Atleast if I can’t be with you I would like to be your friend

Tina nods her head

Tina: Ok I can do that

Bette: You can?

Tina: Yes because I find it hard not to have some type of relationship to you too Bette. I don’t want us to hate each other and I would love to get to know you better than what I do now. If that were possible?

Bette: I could do that

Tina: I could do it too

They both smile at one another

Bette: Friends

Bette extends her hand…Tina looks at her

Tina: Friends but I want a hug though not a cheap hand shake

The brunette laughs…Tina steps close as she and Bette both form their incredible mold like they did the other night

Bette: Um T

Tina looks at Bette

Tina: T where did you get that name from?

Bette: I don’t know I just thought of it. I could call you Tina if you like?

Tina: No I like T more better

Bette: Ok

The brunette looks the blond into her eyes

Bette: T would you like you go out to eat sometime?

Tina: I would love to. What are you doing later?

Bette: Nothing why?

Tina: Then pick me up at 7.

Bette: Ok where do you want to go?

Tina: Your house

Bette nearly chokes on her own spit

Bette: Excuse me

Tina: I want to go to your house. Do you mind?

Bette: No not at all. Do you like to swim?

Tina: Are you kidding? I love to swim

Bette: Good then bring your bathing suit. I have a pool in the back of my house

Tina: You have your own pool?

Bette: Yup it’s mine I paid for it

Tina: Ok well how about I cook for us tonight. I have some cooking skills

Bette: Ok that sound good. So I’ll pick you up at 7

Tina: And don’t be late

Bette: I won’t

Tina: I have to get back to work

Bette laughs and places her hand on top of her head

Bette: Ok I’ll see you later

Tina: Ok

Tina walks towards the door…She stops and turns around

Tina: Bette

Bette: Yes

Tina: I’m happy that we talked

Bette smiles

Bette: Me too

Tina smiles

Tina: Bye

Bette: Bye

Tina exits the office and closes the door…Bette flips open her cell and calls Alice

Alice: So how did it go?

Bette: She said yes

Alice: She did

Bette: Yes

Alice: I told you. Next time I am putting money on it

Bette: Bye Alice

Alice: Ok ok but don’t forget to call me later and tell me everything that happened

Bette: I will bye

Alice: Bye

Bette closes her phone…She sits at her new desk and thinks about her date with Tina…

Bette: Tonights the night…
