“So what’s wrong with art?”

Tina shrugged. “It’s just….Art, it’s not my thing.” Tina just left it at that. She didn’t want to offend the gallery owner.

Bette narrowed her eyes and chooses not to touch the subject. That is, right now. The two women continue to dance.  Tina moved her right hand and swiftly twirled Bette around and she then started to dance alone.

Her hips swayed left and right. Her blonde curls fell into her face, but it didn’t matter. Tina twirled and twirled and danced her way back to Bette. She giggled as she lifted Bette’s soft mocha hands to her face. She closed her eyes. This felt so good, so soft.

Tina gently withdrew her face from Bette’s hand and placed them above her head as she twirled once more, finally into the safe arms of Bette.

The mini crowd around them that had formed applauded the two women.

Bette smiled and looked into those hazel eyes that held so much mystery.

“I’m sorry. I need to go.” Sabrina looked to Tina who was still in Bette’s arms.

Her best friend was all smiles and she was really happy for her.

“Tina I’m going to go. If you want to stay, it’s okay. I’ll wait for you.”

Sabrina’s boyfriend had phoned her letting her know that his business trip had ended early and that he was heading back to L.A His flight arriving early; she wanted to get an outfit ready and get some sleep.

“No, no, no.” Tina said. “Let’s go together. I’m actually really tired now.” Bette felt Tina move away from her body and she immediately felt abandoned.

Tina turned to her and bit her lip. “Thanks for dancing with me. I really appreciate it, coming from a pro and all.” She wanted to let Bette know that she knew she was or must’ve taken dance lessons in the past. “I know I wasn’t good. It’s just been awhile and all.”

“You were great Tina. It was my pleasure.” Bette was finally able to find her voice.

“Alright, well I’ll catch ya later then!” Tina leaned in and placed a friendly kiss on Bette’s cheek. She then slipped her arm around Sabrina’s once more and headed out of the still crowded Planet.

As she stood in the very spot Tina had just left her, Bette continued to watch the two women leave the Planet.

Tina turned once before exiting the door. She met Bette’s eyes.

She was truly overwhelmed at this very moment.

 Nearly everyone has heard of love at first sight, but I fell in love at first dance, she thought.

“Why are you crying, Tina?”

“Hey Porter, what’s the matter?
