“Have you decided on a place?” Bette asks.
“Actually no, I’m not that well known here in the city, I’ve just lived here a few weeks. Hope you don’t mind? I was going to find a nice place but… Will you help me?” Tina asks after rambling on. Bette smiles, she finds Tina to be cute.
“It’s okay. I know a nice little place. It’s just a block down from here.” Bette says.
“You do? Good.” Tina replies with a smile.
The restaurant is small and cosy. Tina liked it the minute she walked in.
“Table for two?” The waitress asks.
“Yes, please. Do you have one in the secluded area?” Bette asks.
“Yes we do, it’s a slow night so far tonight.” The waitress replies.
They follow her in and they takes a seat at the table she pointed out.
The waitress hands them the menus and takes their drinking order.
“So, you see anything you like? Order whatever you want. I’m buying.” Bette says.
“No Bette. I asked you out, so I’m buying.” Tina says.
“You did the grand thing of asking my out. Please let me do this.” Bette replies.
Tina looks at Bette and finally nods. She sees that Bette is almost more nervous than her.
“Can I ask you, when your last date was?” Tina asks carefully.
Bette looks down briefly before she looks at Tina.
“It’s been almost 7 years.” Bette says and looks down again.
“7 years? What happened?” Tina asks softly.
“That’s when I met my wife.” Bette replies.
“Your wife? You’re married?” Tina asks a little shocked.
“I was, I’m not anymore.” Bette says, she shifts in her seat. She’s having trouble keeping the tears away. She blinks a few times. Tina sees this.
“If you don’t want to talk about this, I won’t ask again.” Tina says.
“It’s okay. I guess if we’re gonna last till a second date. Which I want by the way.” Bette says and smiles behind the tears. “Then I have to be honest with you.” Bette says.
“I appreciate that, but if it will make you sad or uncomfortable, then you can tell me another day.” Tina suggests.
“It’s okay.” Bette replies. “I met my wife, Caitlin when I got out of college. I was 25, like you are now, she also was 25. We fell madly in love. After two years we made our vows to each other. Had a commitment ceremony. Got married, at least in our eyes, even though the state doesn’t recognize it. Two years later, we decided we wanted a baby, we wanted a family. Caitlin got pregnant on the second try. We used an anonymous donor. We had a beautiful baby boy. We named him Isaac.” Bette says. She takes out her wallet and takes out a small picture. She hands it to Tina.

Poor Bette! Seven years is a long time. Hope Tina can help her get over her grief.
Im hearbroken for bette,but tina will help her threw her pain to make it lessen.p.p.s.
I feel bad for Bette, but know that Tina will help make things right with her world again.Also glad that Tina doesn’t seem to care what her friends may think, hopefully they won’t change their opinion of her.
I am loveing this story! It was very sad to hear about Bette’s loss, I know Tina will be there as a great friend or more if they both let it happen.
I figured maybe Bette had a partner who died. A child didn’t even come to mind. Ouch! Hopefully Tina’s friends will be cool with her and Bette being together. And hey! Bette has already said she wants a second date. That alone is pretty bold at the start of the first date. :)
I’m really liking this story. How bold of Tina…I wish I wsa that forward on my first date…looking forward to the next installment

If they a true friends to Tina then after the initial shock wears off then they will be okay with her decision to be with Bette. Tina will be good for Bette.
Lauren25 I love this as well as the rest of your stories. I have been reading them over the last few weeks,my favorite of them all is Realizing. Do you think that we might see achapter or two of it soon? I also wouldn’t mind seeing something on Ac,amtl and Tc&ti. Hope to see a post soon.
re-read it; lovely writing
Poor Bette and sad to hear about Bette’s loss, and now let Tina made Bette happy again, hope Tina’s friend will cool with her and Bette being together. Anyway post soon please, thanks!
I kinda like this version of Bette. Her self assuredness still comes through but she doesn’t seem as overwhelming with the melancholic state she’s in. Interesting mix. And good on tina for taking some risks and knowing when to take charge! PPS
