“You seemed to be having a battle up there” Tina said moving her eyes towards Bette’s forehead.

Bette looked down to the floor shyly smiling. She took her free hand out of her pocket and scratched her head as they reached a corner and were patiently waiting for the lights to turn and indicate them they could cross the street.

“Bette… what’s the matter?” Tina asked with growing concern. She was fearing Bette couldn’t be at ease with her anymore in which case this couple of weeks would be a living hell.

Do I speak… do I shut up… do I speak… do I shut the fuck up… Bette’s head was clearly not anywhere near of getting a break. She took a deep breath of fresh air and looked directly into those big beautiful hazel eyes.

“I’m a little bit torn about something…” Bette was not lying, but then again she was right at this minute torn by many things not just what to do about her beautiful friend.

“Why?” Tina shyly asked fearing the worst case scenario becoming a reality.

“Well… I had a job interview today and… I don’t know what should I do…” Bette was biting her bottom lip. You’re such a fucking coward…

“Well… care to elaborate?” Tina was more than curious about what could be so stressful that was making her friend struggle with her thoughts so much. Bette gently smiled that sweet smile of hers at her friend’s remark, boy she had missed those remarks.

Just when Bette was about to “elaborate” she noticed they had actually arrived at the restaurant. She couldn’t believe how easy it was to get lost in Tina’s company and loose track of everything: time, location, you name it.

“Well I’ll tell you more in a minute T… looks like we’re here” Tina smiled wondering about the exact same thing Bette was at that moment, and suddenly regretting the fact that she was gonna have to let go of Bette’s arm.

Once they were seated Tina started to actually concentrate on her surroundings. Even though the restaurant was quite big it was still warm and cozy, decorated with great taste and dim lights. Many people were eating and drinking, although they were not loud, so you could see it was more of an intimate place.
