That’s why Alice was riding around Tina’s neighborhood for the last two hours. Tina had commented to her that she used to jogging around there. A casual encounter, a chat and then hopefully an early brunch with Bette Porter with whom she always met on Sundays. It was already late in the morning and she was almost giving up when she saw Tina running in her direction. Oh she’s hottie in jogging slacks!! She slowly approached Tina and waved.

            “Hey Tina! Good to see you.”

            Tina immediately stopped, breathing heavily. She smiled to Alice that by this time had parked her car and was walking towards her.

            “Hi Alice. Doing something good on the neighborhood?”

            “I was going to meet a friend for an early brunch. Do you want to join us? I would love it.”

            “I can’t. I’m a bit sweaty.”

            “I love sweaty women But I can wait you take a shower.”

            “I usually shower in the gym and then swim a little. But it’s late I can skip the swim”

            “I love feminine locker rooms. So many naked girls”

            “Huh?”  Tina blushed slightly. So cute, she’s embarrassed with my jokes.

            “I’m kidding, Tina. We, lesbians, aren’t dangerous. Most of us at least. We can be around other women without second intentions. I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable around me.”

            “I know you are kidding. And I feel really comfortable around you. Let’s go to my place, it’s closer. I will shower there.”

            One hour later, Alice and Tina were in the restaurant in Santa Monica, walking to the table where Bette was waiting for Alice. When Tina saw Bette she froze. She was still feeling really bad for what she had done to Erick the previous night and not long after she had left him on the airport she would have lunch with the trigger of their problems. Problems? We don’t have problems. We didn’t fight, we love each other

            “Are you coming Tina?”

            “Huh?”

            “What’s wrong?”

            “Nothing, just surprised. You didn’t tell me that your friend was Bette Porter.”
