Alice: “Uh, no, not in public” she smirked sarcastically. “I just think he’s acting strange, he totally saw me like five hundred times, and not once did he say hello. Not even a wave!”

Bette rolled her eyes and turned around. Alice looked up and saw Ben talking to a girl she had never seen before.

Alice: “Who’s that?”

Bette turned around and saw a very thin but muscular body leaning over the table. She was dressed in a pair of low riding jeans and a plain white tank top and her hair was sporting the just woke up look.

Bette: “I have no idea” she replied almost in awe.

They watched the almost seemingly confidential interactions between the two. Moments later Ben gathered his things and quickly got up from the table following the mysterious brunette outside. As Ben passed the table he noticed Bette out of the corner of his eye but to avoid interaction he pulled his hood further over his head and kept moving.

-Alphaville-

Tina walked down the hallway towards her office with her head held high. Tina’s secretary Brenda noticed the extra bounce in Tina’s step and didn’t say anything until now.

Brenda: “Good morning Tina” she looked over the rim of her glasses and smiled.

Tina: “Goooood Morning” she smiled back.

Ever since Tina declared her love for Bette she had become a lot more easy going. Brenda didn’t know who Tina’s lunch dates had been all week but she did know is she always returned with a smile plastered across her face. Just as Tina was about to walk in to her office Brenda stopped her.

Brenda: “Hey Tina?”

Tina: “Yeah” she turned and leaned up against the door frame.

Brenda: “I was just wondering if you were ever going to tell me about your new suitor”

Tina always laughed when the inquisitive aging woman used the term, suitor. Tina still hadn’t told anyone besides a few choice family members about her relationship with Bette. At this point she was dying to tell someone, especially someone at work, someone she could trust. As Tina began to speak she felt that feeling you get when you talk about the one you love, rising in the pit of her stomach.
