It was an unbelievingly gorgeous day, with temperatures reaching the high 90′s.  It was just coming on lunch time; people were beginning to move about.  Most with subs and juices in hand looking for the perfect spot to sit and eat.  A stunning lady started to walk towards the park, where from above her office over looks it.  This picture of beauty stood 5ft 7″ with shoulder length blonde hair and hazel eyes into which you could drown and never be rescued.  With her home made salad and a bottle of water with her, she sits in her usual spot.  Right by the fountain.  Where she knew she would get to see her daily ‘fix’.  Another picture of beauty.  Since starting to work at KPWX Radio Station as a producer this was her daily lunchtime ritual.

Tina Kennard had just moved out from North Carolina about two months.  She had been out of college about a year at this stage.  She thought a move to West Hollywood was on the cards as she was getting nowhere at her local radio station.  She practically managed the whole station by herself so a climb up the corporate ladder was out of the question.  At first one would think she sought fame and fortune by her move to Californian shores.  Seeing as she had an aunt out west, she felt confident in the big move.  She had left her little ‘Hicksville‘ town, her ordinary life where everyone knew everyone and everyone knew everyone else’s business.  Tina craved to escape the small town mentality she had dealt with most of her young life.  A fiance though he loved her just couldn’t understand her.  Tina always felt something was missing, a hunger that could never be fed if she stayed.  So she fled her comfort zone and impending married life to go shake things up West side.

Through the misty haze, on the other side of the fountain, Tina spied her object of affection.  She had been watching this exquisite being for well over a month.  Never daring to go and talk this person.  The only thing she was sure of was that this feeling she was having.  So intense and yet so unexpected, never thought she could feel this way.  Emotions ran high.  The more she looked the more scared she got but yet she couldn’t stop looking and watching.  Tina never felt liked this with Eric, her ex fiance, she loved him dearly but realised she wasn’t in love with him and he couldn’t excite her.  Not like the way the stunning creature she had come to share her lunchtime with.  One glance and Tina was orbiting all the heavens. 

Tina looked at her watch noticed it was nearing 2pm.  So with that she gathered up her things and threw the waste paper in the trashcan.  As Tina quickly ran along the pavement she caught her foot in a small hole.  She dropped her bag and all the contents spilled across the ground.  She immediately started picking up her things trying to hide her embarrassment as well.  When all of a sudden as she reached her cell phone she could feel another hand on hers.  At once Tina looked up to see so was giving her a helping hand.  She instantly lost her breath.  This was not lost on the helpful stranger.  Tina knew at once this was the beauty she had been observing.  She had no clue as to what to do or say next.  With that the wonder of beauty held out their hand and gently spoke, “Miss, are you alright? Please let me help you.  My name is Bette, Bette Porter”. TBC … Should I???
