“Tina you should know me well enough to know that I could never do that to you. No matter what.” she finished by winking at Tina and drawing a small smile from the blushing blonde. “I’ll bet it took you quite some time to find this place and even longer to find a parking garage safe enough for Jack‘s car.” Bette said flopping down on one of the pillows she brought over for them to sit on.

“Well not exactly I rented a mid-size, so parking was real easy.”

“Wait a minute, you rented a car? Meaning you left Jack’s car in Texas? Why?” Bette looked at Tina with a little surprise in her voice.

“Yes. I didn’t want to take Jack’s car all the way across country.” Tina said playfully dangling a few strings of chow mien into her mouth.

“What are you doing about work? I know by now they‘re going crazy in your office without you..” Bette asked laughing at Tina’s still childlike antics.

Tina stopped and shyly looked away from Bette as she replied, “I’ve been back to L.A. already and finalized a few things. So technically this is a business/personal trip. I was going to send Allan for the meetings but I saw it as on opportunity for me to get to you and build up what I believe to be a very good business venture. While I can’t really say what it is just yet. I’m hoping for this to continue first before I tell what crazy idea has come to realization.”

“You know I have my ways of finding out what you’re trying to hide.” Bette said giving her a devilishly sly smile.

“I know, I know but I really want everything in place before I tell you what I’m trying to do. Besides I think you’re going to love the idea but I still want to work all the details out and come back here and tell you everything. I promise.”

“I’m going to hold you to that.” Bette said pointing her chopstick at Tina.

Tina decided to try and push past that in order to dodge any further questions she knew Bette was bound to ask. “So what’s Philly like so far?”
