“Yes, there is, just on Richmond and University.  Lets go.”

They walked out and said bye to James.  James was confused that Bette was on a date?  Hmm should he ring Alice and tell her the scoop or wait?  Shit, if he pissed her off he would have to come in on the weekend, better to wait.

“You want to drive Bette or ?” 
“I can drive since parking in downtown here is such a bitch and I have my own spot at the gallery.”  Tina chuckled at the way she described getting a parking spot, it was a bitch to park downtown.

Tina and Bette chatted about their day at work and what was going on for them that week.

“So you just left Eric?  Like that?  Wow, you guys were together for awhile no?”  Bette feeling victorious that she was single, still skeptical if she was interested in women, wait her yes just her.

“Well he was such a dick about the whole thing of cooking and how I should be doing the women jobs.  Fuck that, I am better than that and he hated that I was better at sports then he.  He would always get his panties in a wad when we played on teams and just because people appreciate me on the team and my experience.”  Tina realizing that she was more mad about being teammates then being a couple.

“Well, friendly competition is good Tina, seems like you are more with a competitive spirit that has not yet left?  Did you play in college?”

“Yes, I did and well I went pretty far to make or to want to make it to the National level.  I loved it, the passion and the idea of winning.  Awesome high!”  Tina smiled at the memories of winning the National title in college.

“Ok, I can agree with that.  I swam in college and that was hell.  I didn’t like the dieting and constant rigorous work outs and well no fun at parties.”  Bette thinking that she will not play soccer with Tina, she was decent at soccer, but not a national player at all…well if she would swim with her perhaps Bette could try soccer again.  Seeing Tina in a suit or short shorts would be worth the suffering.
