Bette: “I’ve gotta go, im sorry.”

Tina: “No, it’s ok” she smiled

Bette: “We still on for tomorrow?”

Tina: “Absolutly” she quickly replied

Bette was desperate to know what it was about Tina that made her feel so vulnerable. Usually she was excelent at reading people, that’s what made her socal lifestyle so easy but Tina was threatening that very structure and was going to take Bette down with it. Bette had totally forgotten about Alice inside untill Hayden returned to the table.

Hayden: “Hi, im Hayden” she said extending her hand to Bette

Bette: “Bette, Nice to meet you”

Hayden: “Your friend, is crazy”

Bette: “Alice! I totally forgot. Sorry, I gotta go find her and get to work.” she said standing from the table “So Tina, I’ll see you tomorrow?”

Tina: “Yep, six o’clock” she smiled and giggled shyly.

Tina watched Bette walk back into the planet then quickly turned around and looked at Hayden with panic written all over her face.

Tina: “What am I going to do?”

Hayden: “About what?”

Tina: “Bette!”

Hayden: “You having second thoughts?”

Tina: “No, no, not second thoughts. I’ve never been on a date with a woman before, I don’t know what im supposed to do” she said with her voice growing higher with every second

Hayden: “Woah, cool it. Do what you would do on any date.”

Tina: “What if she kisses me?”

Hayden: “Well, if you like her kiss her back. Tina, calm down your going to be fine. Just do what feels right.”

Tina: “What’s it like? Kissing a woman?”

Hayden: “Would it make you feel better if you knew?”

Tina: “Yeah”

Hayden: “Ok, Shane could you please show Tina what it’s like to kiss a girl?” she said just as Shane was strolling up to the planet.

Shane: “Really, you wanna know?” she shrugged her sholders and leaned down gathering Tina’s face in her hands. “Thi is what it’s like” she wispered as she pressed her lips against Tina’s.

Tina suddenly felt her entire body start to tingle. She had never experenced a kiss quite like this, it was soft and tender. Unlike the unimpressionable kisses of her past. When Shane pulled away, Tina was still completely dumbfounded.

Hayden: “Feel better now?” she laughed

Tina: “Well, now I can see why your so popular”

Shane: “Yeah well, i’d have to say you weren’t too bad yourself.”

Alice had reluctantly said good bye to Bette which meant she had to sit at the planet alone again. She was walking over to a table when she spotted Tina kissing Shane. Alice stopped dead in her tracks and tried to move closer stealthfully. “What the *****?” she said to herself out loud. “Hmm, looks like their is more here than meets the eye” she said squinting her eyes for a better view.
