"Well I tried to be believe me. But she just… I don’t know. Like when we first met, you remember; she shot me down like a million times. Like all of my old fronts didn’t work for her, she really wanted to get to know me first. Then out of nowhere, she got to me." Shane laughed at herself. "Nobody really knows this but our first date was in my backyard. She came over, unexpectedly and we ate popcorn and drank soda all day. I honestly felt like a teenager with her."

"Popcorn and soda, Shane?" Tina smiled back.

"Yes. She remembered that I said I was a junk food junkie. So she brought over this tub of popcorn with the four different flavors. And we sat out there all day talking, no fooling around just talking. That was it, little by little she just became more to me. Like her opinion of me and her feelings were way more important than sex with some turly forgettable woman."

Tina just nodded her head as she listened to her newly love struckfriend. "So how was it when you found yourself in love?"

"Truthfully?"

"Please." Tina smiled back.

"Scary as hell, in fact I’m still scared." Shane said laughing at her own openness. "Everything I feel is so scary, but addictive. But I’m happy so…" Shane shrugged off the rest of her explanation as started back in on her food. She opened up the bottle of wine and poured herslf a glass as she was about to pour Tina’s she was by Tina covering her glass.

"No thank you."

"Oh okay. You want to get you something else to drink?"

"Would you please, there sholud be some lemonade in the fridge."

"Sure." Shane got up and poured her a glass of lemonade and sat back down to enjoy the resof their delicious meals and pleasant conversations. After dinner Bette still hadn’t shown up so they decided to stay in and enjoy the sunset as they sat on the couch. The last rays of the sun fell on the city and outlined it in a burning orange that felt almost heavenly to both women. Shane offered Tina some wine but she refused and said she’ll stick to her lemonade.
