Bette: “I like your dress…, it reminds me old times”

Tina: “yeah…, the first time I wear a top with strips, showing too much”

Bette: “it wasn’t too much, though it was amazing, indeed it was more than what I was expecting, and it made me happy, but believe me, you never dressed lustfully, and now, you look as beautiful as I always remember you”

The minds of both girls walked down memory lane, back around 11 years ago.

Remembering    

Tina is looking at the mirror in her bathroom; she is wearing the new skirt and top that she bought yesterday with the help of Carmen; four days ago after her group’s presentation, when Bette approached her followed by her friends and Tina’s lab mates, while most of the members of her presentation group except James were already gone, though, Maura was still in the classroom.

Bette: “very nice talk, I liked it, you guys prepared it very well”

Tina: “oh…, thanks”

Bette: “now…, you told me to ask you anything I wanted…, is that right?”

Tina: “of course, you found the flash drive, you save us”

Bette: “hmm…, well…, look…, we meet on Fridays’ nights…, to go to the beach and relax…, you know…, have a good time…, but we meet off campus”

Tina: “off campus?”

Bette: “well…, yeah…, we wear more relaxed clothes”

Tina: “oh…, and what do you do?”

Bette: “we party… a little…, all girls, no boys…, some girls drink, dance…, others just talk… to know each other”

Tina: “hmm…and where do you meet?”

Bette: “college-town… that is crossing Main Street with Galileo and Broadway”

Tina: “college-town…?”

Bette: “is how we call the zone; groups of students wait for their friends in cars to go to have fun somewhere else, we usually go to the beach in Revere…, you know Revere, right?”

Tina: “no…, I just know biology and chemistry departments, the library and how to go home here in Boston”

Bette: “hmm…, I can show you many other things… I mean places”

There was a double entendre in Bette’s words, which was noticeable for all her friends including James and Maura, though Tina didn’t make any sign that she was aware of that, a big smile on Shane’s and Carmen’s faces expressed complicity, but Alice and Frankie made a loud display, with expressions as ‘wow Bette’ and ‘nice Porter’, which forced Tina to answer.
