The brunette keeps glancing at her watch. She has changed and freshened up, and gives herself one last glance before leaving the office. She runs her hands down her fitted pants, takes a deep breath and walks out into the gallery, an image of authority, elegance, and beauty as always.

Moments later Bette is taking a final check around the gallery, when she hears a quiet voice. She turns to see a vision. This is the first time the gallery owner has seen Tina in anything other than casual, or work dress. With no makeup she would still be stunning, but there was no denying how beautiful, and delicious the blonde now looked.

Tina couldn’t help notice the way Bette had looked her over. She felt slightly self-conscious, had she made too much of an effort? Tina found herself checking out Bette too, how is it she always demanded such presence, so matter what it was she wore. The two stepped closer. Although they had shared an intimacy when Bette had comforted Tina two nights before, things felt different now. Their harmless banter was developing into some thing deeper.

“Tina, you look, stunning” Bette says with a big grin.

“You don’t look so bad yourself” Tina quickly returns. “Your gallery is amazing Bette, I had no idea”

“Well thank you. Let me give you a tour” Bette says reaching out a hand, which Tina reaches for without hesitation. Bette leads Tina to the front of the gallery, the blonde follows behind looking down at the hand that is leading her, Tina’s smaller hand is clutching on to two of Bette’s fingers, something about it feels so comforting. The sweet blonde was sure if she held on to Bette’s hand like this she would happily be lead anywhere the brunette wanted to take her.

As Bette lead Tina along she was glad Tina couldn’t see her smile. It was so sweet how Tina had taken her fingers. The two of them so naturally complimented each other.

They spent the next twenty minutes wandering around the gallery. Tina mostly listened, paying close attention. She loved Bette’s enthusiasm and passion, she felt so privileged to be privy to this amazing woman.

Bette was so much enjoying this chance to share her passion with this woman. To see the interest in Tina’s eyes and face made her want to show her every painting that had ever influenced her. She loved the comments that Tina was making, and the questions she was asking. How she could teach this woman so much if she could have the opportunity. She started to think of all of the cities she had wanted to travel throughout Europe and the rest of the world, and how the two of them could enjoy all the culture they have to offer. Bette suddenly had to bring herself back to reality, this wasn’t difficult when she spotted Alice, Shane, Dana, Carmen and Kit waving as they approached.
