Bette: Yeah well there is a long story behind that Bette decided to take a leap. Tina, maybe you would like to come over one night this week, have dinnerwith Jenna and meI would love to catch up with you, see what youve been up to these past years. Bettes heart raced. She didnt know if she could take another rejection from Tina.

Tina: Jenna and her? I wonder why she didnt say her girlfriend or wife alsoTina felt her eyes start to watermaybe she isnt seeing anyoneno Tina, of course she has someone waiting for hershe is gorgeous that mocha skin, her beautiful eyes, long curly hairTina had realized that she had been staring at Bette and had not given her an answer yet. Umyeah okay Bette, I would love to. I want to hear everything about you and Jenna… Tina truly felt that way. Even though she had pushed Bette away, she never stopped loving her. And it wasnt a date or anything, just two people catching upbut man did she wish it was a date!

Bette: Great T! How about Thursday night? Is that good for you?

Tina: Um I can’t Thursday, I already have plans

Bette: Now it was Bettes turn to feel that familiar pang in her stomach. Plans? I wonder if she is seeing someoneof coursehow can she not be married or attached to someonewell, I guess I will just have to settle as us being friends, if she even wants thathow did I manage to ***** my whole life up? Well then, how about Friday night? Does that work for you? I mean I know its Friday and you probably wanted to go out and have fun Bette started to ramble.

Tina: No Bette. Friday is good. How about I come by around sixIll even bring dinner

Bette: That sounds great T. But let me get dinner pleaseI insist

Tina: Okay deal. Tina said with a smile. Tina had been immersed with catching up with Bette that she didnt realize she had let the kids run loose for too long. Oh *****! Look Bette, I better get going, I dont want them having too much fun! Tina said jokingly Ill see you Friday night.

Bette: Friday night. Bette said almost to herself. She gave Tina her address and watched her walk back in to the classroom. She couldnt believe what had happened. She started to walk to her gallery, trying to piece together the whole conversation she had just had with Tina. Damn, I hope she isnt seeing anyoneI hope she doesnt think Im seeing anyone for that matter Bette thought to herself. Then it hit her. OMG, she probably thinks that Jenna is my daughter and that I am with someone! Maybe thats why she was acting so weirdI have to straighten this out on Friday night Bette reached her gallery and went into her office. She checked her messages and got one from Alice.

Alice: Hey Bette. I tried calling you at the house but you werent there. I wanted to let you know that my flight gets in on Tuesday night and I was wondering if you wanted to get together on WednesdayI really cant do it Thursday cause Imuhgonna be busy with work all dayso just give me a call back, okay! Cant wait to see ya! Bye!

Bette just realized what was going on. Thats why Alice was acting so weird the other night. And she knew that I would run into Tina! Im going to kill her for not telling me! Then Bette began to smile. Alice was visiting Tina and thats why Tina couldnt do anything on Thursday! Bette felt a little bit of hope and her confidence boosted up just a little more. This couldnt have been a coincidence, no it was fatefate brought us back together! Bette thought to herself. I have to get Tina backI have to fight for her. I hope youre ready Tina Kennard. No one can resist the Porter Charm Bette sat back in her chair thinking about Tina and contemplating her next move
