“Of course, maybe not go to bed with her tonight, it would take two or three dates, but I would “

“I don’t think so. I can bet you can’t have ***** with her so fast. She seems to be faithful and to like relationships. Her days of one nightstands probably finished with college.”

“And do you think that one date with her make you an specialist about her?”

“Hey, I know more than you about her. I know, for example, she’s confused, she doesn’t know your intentions about the kiss and that you won’t have anything with her unless you start trying to be her friend first. That’s what I had to say. I will let you sleep now. Tomorrow it’s better you start to learn other techniques of seduction because yours won’t work with her.”

They still chatted a few more minutes about the dinner before Alice left.  Despite of the critics of Alice, Bette was hopeful because Alice had felt some vibe on Tina when they had talked about her. She knew her gaydar wasn’t wrong. It gotta to be attraction. There was a connection between them. And she was decided she would explore it. Tina Kennard would be hers.

            The next day Bette couldn’t wait until the time to call Tina. If it was by her wish she would have called as soon as she woke up, but since she almost didn’t have any sleep, she decided against it. Calm down, Porter. To call someone at six a.m. it’s a bit desperate. She needed to act on Tina fast, she was fighting against the time, but she was confident that once she spilled her charm around Tina, she wouldn’t resist. They never did.

            At 9:30 a.m., Bette couldn’t expect any longer, she seated on her chair, in her closed office and waited for her assistant to complete the call. She was surprised to notice the sweat on her hands. How it comes I’m so nervous today? It’s not like I’m doing the most important call of my life here, is it? The ring of the transferred call interrupted her thoughts.

            “Hello.”

            “Tina Kennard? Hi, it’s Bette Porter.”
