She thought she felt Bettes eyes studying her, but quickly ruled that out. After all, Bette was a woman. A very attractive woman at that. Tina was sure she had a boyfriend or maybe even more than one. There was no reason for her to be checking Tina out. However, the thought did bring a smile to her face and Tina briefly wondered why Bettes checking her out was such an appealing thought.

I am straight, right? No, no, why am I asking the question? I am straight. Thats all there is to it. Im straight, Im sure Bettes straight. Were all straight here., she thought.  

Mr. Porter turned to his daughter. Well Bette, lets get your things. Ive got to head back to finish up some things at the office for tomorrow.

At the office?, thought Tina, Its Sunday afternoon. He has to go to the office on Sunday afternoon? Ive gotta find out what he does for a living. Because whatever it is, Im not doing it. Tina didnt have long to ponder her thoughts, she was interrupted by Bettes soothing voice.

Yes, Daddy. Lets get my stuff., said Bette, tossing Tina a sly smile before following her father out of the room.

For the next hour, Tina watched Bette & Melvin Porter create a living space on Bettes side of the dorm room. Tina had offered to help them profusely, but had been turned down. She didnt know what else to do, so she just sat on her bed, pretending to read a book and subconsciously watching for glimpses of Bettes lean body as she moved, lifted, and adjusted the items shed brought.

This whole situation was strange for Tina. First off, she felt so drawn to Bette. She just wanted to be near her. She wanted to touch her, talk to her, enjoy her. She couldnt keep her eyes off of her. The second thing had nothing to do with Bette, but everything to do with Melvin. It was going to be Bettes room and it was all of Bettes stuff, yet she asked her father where she should put things and how her belongings should be arranged. Finally, they finished getting Bette settled and Melvin Porter prepared to make his exit.
