‘Holy shit, did that just happen?’  Tina thought to herself, ‘Did I just get told
by a gay guy?’

Before Tina could analyze the situation in more
detail, she heard “Tina Kennard?”  This
time the voice was no doubt feminine, and she turned around.  A petite brunette offered her hand and said,
“I over heard you, Tina Kennard, Hi, my name is Dana Fairbanks and I believe we
are supposed to have dinner.”

Tina quickly tunes in and takes a hold of the offered
hand, ‘fuck, I just made a big fool out of myself, just fucking great.’

“Sorry, Miss Fairbanks, I thought that I was supposed
to be meeting Harrison.”

“Harrison?  He’s probably preoccupied at some club right now;
did he not tell you that you would be meeting me?”

“Not that I was aware of”

Dana, being the novice and clumsy person she is,
smiled nervously reaching under the table, “Here Tina, these are for you, I
though it would be nice to give you something nice.”

What she saw in front of her was a small bouquet of
simple flowers, flowers that said this was more than a dinner, and right around
the league of a date.  Tina smiled
politely and accepted the flowers, ‘what is going on here?  Everything is so weird tonight; here I am on
what I suppose is a blind date when in fact I thought I was supposed to have
some sort of business dinner.  Oh, Bette
Porter, you are so going to get it’ She apprehended, ‘I know her, she is
testing my limits, trying to set me off and set me up with a woman oh Porter,
how I will not fall into your plans, you are probably still ticked off about
the dare so I will in fact enjoy dinner tonight and the feeling of being wined
and dined.’

“Why thank you Dana. 
I hear the salmon here is delectable.”

And that was how dinner went on, the two women
cherished the simple evening and made small talk all throughout the night.  Dana was a little shy at the beginning, but
she warmed up quickly with someone who was as down to earth as she is.  Tina, on the other hand, had no trouble
making friends with Dana; she was genuine and they seemed to share other similar
interests, so the conversations flowed with ease.
