Bette turned to her sister and narrowed her eyes. Kit gave her a mischievous smile and left the two women. 

Bette now offered her hand to the blonde. “I’m Bette Porter. It’s very nice to meet you.” She smiled and Tina felt herself smiling once again. “I actually came over to you to check if your foot is okay.” She glanced down to only watch Tina quickly hide her feet away under the table.

“I’m fine. No need to worry. I forgive you.” She smiled again.

“I haven’t even asked for your forgiveness though?” Bette teased.

“I can just tell that you wanted forgiveness.” Tina shrugged.

“Oh so you can read minds now, Tina?” Bette chuckled.

Just then she felt a hand on her shoulder.

“Oh I’m sorry, Pamela I was just about to say good bye to Tina. Let me introduce you to her. This is Pamela Lewis and this here is Christina Kennard. But you can call her Tina.” She winked at her and Tina found herself blushing.

“So are you I can’t do anything for you? I feel very bad.” Bette said concerned.

“Really I’m fine. It’s okay.”

Bette and Pamela were about to turn and leave until Bette leaned over and whispered something into Tina’s ear. Tina nodded and Bette took a card out of her bag and placed it into Tina’s hand.

“I’m hoping to see you later, Tina.” She smiled, knowing that it was likely she’d see the blonde once again.

Tina glanced down and read the business card. “Bette Porter Gallery- Elizabeth Porter.” She sat smiling for a minutes alone at the table thinking how attractive the woman she had just met was until her cell phone rang.

“Hello?” After a few nods, Tina’s eyes grew wide and once again a smile that reached her eyes bore on her face.

“Yes, okay. That’s fine. I’ll be there a half an hour early. Thank you so much!” She hung up her cell phone and then dialed a familiar number.

“Hello? Sabrina? It’s me Tina. Yea, I know it’s been awhile.” A blush appeared on Tina’s pale face and she bit her bottom lip. She suddenly felt alive.

“I missed you too. Listen, would it be alright if I came over tonight?”
