I was acting out of emotions blaming Bette going her old ways. I cant really blame Bette for how she was behaving even if she still was the old her. It has only been a day that we started going out. I cant just make her drop everything for me. I looked at her and I know she was telling the truth. I dont think I could handle it if she were to behave the way shes been; well whatever that is. All I know is that from what Ive heard, Bette is more popular than Shane is. I know I find Shane quite the Casanova but Bette; shes a different kind of wonderful. Shes just wonderful.

We danced to three songs and I could tell all eyes were on us! Everyone was envious of me; me! The straight girl turned *****, dancing with THE Bette Porter! I looked around while we danced wondering if people knew I was straight just a day ago Bette was oblivious to the attention we were receiving! She looked at me and I could see how serious she was about wanting to please me, and how serious she was about not wanting a day to go by without me being with her. How lucky can one be?

I looked over at the table, I saw Shane, Alice, Dana, Marina and Melanie talking and drinking the night away. Once in a while they glanced over at us and smile. Alice had this weird look on her face. Melanie was smiling and she raised her glass at us. Maybe Melanie isnt too bad after all! It was just one stupid misunderstanding! I looked at Shane. She was staring back at me. Her eyes serious and looking very lost. What is it about Shane? What is it about her that makes her so I dont know, mysterious? What is she hiding? And what is with THAT look?

Tina: Melanie seems nice Bette

Bette: Huh? Mmmm yeah she is. I think, I mean shes always flirty but I guess she didnt know I was here with someone If she knew, she wouldnt have done what she did

I looked at Bette and looked over her shoulder to see Melanie. Hmm I looked into Bettes eyes. How was it that in front of me stood this beautiful lady, an amazing one in fact, and whos apparently crazy over me? How is that possible? And if I were Melanie, I dont think I could stop myself from wanting to kiss Bette. But if Melanie ever dared!!!!!

After the three songs, Bette and I decided it was time to actually enjoy the company of the girls. I thought we were being very anti-social. But Bette just said we were just spending a much deserved time alone Whatever it is, we still do need to have a chat with the girls

Melanie: Well, well well look who finally came up for air?

Bette: Melanie, I want you to meet Tina. Tina this is Melanie

Tina: Im very pleased to meet you

Wow shes more beautiful up close! No wonder Bette was attracted to her! Those lips wow! ***** Tina what is the matter with you? You just turned ***** for a day and already youre thinking of someones lips like that?!?!! SLOW DOWN!!!!

Melanie: Hello Tina. Its a pleasure to meet you. I see youve managed to capture Bettes heart?

Bette: and Tina, this is Marina. Marina this is

Marina: Weve met Bette; just before she went to the washroom. Its always a pleasure to meet Bettes friends

I saw Bette shot Marina a look Dana and Alice laughed. Shane just smirked finding all that funny. I didnt know what to say

Tina: Hello Marina. Bette tells me youre opening a cafe? A coffee house?

Marina: Oh, youre very well informed! As a matter of fact I am.

Tina: So when will it be opened?

Marina: As soon as I got everything sorted out. And I will be throwing a party for the opening and you are all invited.

Bette: Thats nice Marina, let us know the date yeah?

Melanie: Oh I love this song!!! Come Marina, lets dance

Melanie and Marina went to the dance floor leaving me, Bette, Shane, Alice and Dana talking about well, ***** stuff

Dana: Urgh see what I mean Al? No one wants to come home with me tonight… as usual!

I looked at Dana. If I remember correctly Dana is the tennis player. She has good physique, well toned arms.

Alice: Oh come on! You only did ask one lady here tonight! You should get out there you know? Geez!

Bette: (Whispering) Dana isnt really out yet, so shes a bit scared to open up to people

I smiled.

Dana: Hey Bette! I heard that!

Alice: Well its the truth! You should get over it and tell the whole world already! Why dont you start with that pretty red hair?

Dana looked at Alice like she was insane. What is the deal with these two?

Shane: Take it slow man, one step at a time.

Dana: Take it slow? I mean Ive been ***** for what? Since forever and where am I now?

Bette looked at me and smiled.

Bette: Do you wanna go home?

Tina: You sure?

Bette: Yeah yeah Im sure.

Tina: Ok.

Bette: Ok just give me a minute I need to go to

Tina: Its ok. You go ahead.

Bette: You sure?

Alice: Porter! Were not going to bite your woman! Shell be safe here with us! Now go already!

I looked at Bette and smiled. She kissed me and left. I blushed as everyone was looking at us while we kissed.

Alice: So Tina. Heard this is your first time to a ***** bar! How do you like it?

Tina: Its alright. Thanks for inviting me over.

Alice: No problem. So you and Bette huh?

Shane: Al!

Alice: What?

Dana: Yeah Al! Bette will kill you if she knew

This is interesting

Tina: Knew what?

Dana: UmmThat shes been harassing you with questions

Tina: Oh its ok. Im fine with it.

Alice: I see that eyes are on you since you walked into Milk tonight. I must say, Bette has found a very good catch.

I felt very uncomfortable with that being said.

Tina: Erm I guess… Someone hit on me while I was walking back to the table. Jackie

Dana: Jackie? Jackie Simmons?

Tina: She just said Jackie.

Dana: *****!

Tina: Did I say something wrong?

Shane: No no you didnt.

Alice: Its just that Dana has had her eyes on her tonight and well, the fresh meat always gets the babe

Tina: Fresh meat?

Dana: Youre new here right Tee?

I nodded

Dana: Well thats what people call fresh meat

Tina: Oh right

Melanie: Thanks for the dance Marina

Marina: No problem. Do you want something to drink?

Melanie: No its ok. I probably should head back. Ive got an early flight tomorrow.

Oh, so Melanie is leaving tomorrow? Thats a shame. I wish I could spend a little more time with her. NOT!

Tina: Youre leaving tomorrow? Oh thats a shame

Melanie: Yeah, have to report back to my boss… Id probably get my ***** kicked if I missed that flight. Wheres Lizzie?

Tina: Huh?

Melanie: I mean Bette?

Tina: Oh shes

Bette: Ready to go? Oh youre leaving too Mel?

Melanie: Yeah I have to go Bette. My flight leaves early tomorrow morning. Im sorry we cant spend more time while Im here Bette

THANK GOD FOR THAT!!!

Bette: Oh mmm its ok. Well, give me a call when you get there ok? Just so I know you get there safekeep in touch ok!

Melanie: I willIt was nice seeing you Bette. And Tina you take care of my girl here

MY GIRL?!?! Did she actually say that? I smiled through gritted teeth. I couldnt help it. There she is this beautiful woman standing right in front of her. And Bette chose to be with me? There really is something wrong with this picture.

Tina: It was nice meeting you too Melanie

Alice, Dana, Shane and Marina: Bye Mel! Have a safe trip!

Melanie: Bye guys!

Melanie hugged everyone and left. God she really is stunning! How can Bette let her get away? Damn it. Stop thinking it Tina! Well I cant really blame it on Bette; look at Bette herself… pretty hot!

Bette: Why are you looking at me that way?

Tina: Uh? Oh nothing. So you ready to go?

Bette: Yeah but I just need to talk to Alice for a while Is that ok?

Tina: Yeah sure

Bette was acting weird. Something must be bothering her

Dana: yeah where is she?

Shane: I dont know man I told you she looks like trouble

I wonder who theyre talking about

Alice: Gabby isnt like that!

Ah… theres my answer!

Dana: If she isnt then where the ***** is she? Is she coming home with us or what?

Tina: I saw her in the washroom. But that was the last I saw her

Bette: Listen Al, Gabby

Just then Gabby appeared behind Alice and put her arms around her.

Gabby: Looking for me?

Gabby hugged Alice and kissed her on her neck. Shane rolled her eyes. Dana looked disgusted. Whats wrong with everyone? Surely if Alice is happy then we all should be. Bette just stood there her eyes fixed on Alice and Gabby; unblinking.

Alice: Where have you been? We wanted to go back

Gabby: Ah you know, the place was packed and the you know just packed!

Alice: Well, ok. Sorry what did you say Bette?

Bette: Oh it was nothing Just Tina and I are heading home. Ill see you guys tomorrow maybe ok?

Tina: Nice meeting you all tonight. And thank you.

Dana: Yeah it was nice seeing you too Tee. Be safe.

Bette grabbed my hand and we made our way towards the front entrance.

Tina: Bette? Whats going on? Are you ok?

Bette: Ill tell you all about it when were alone

Gabby and Alice both waved at us, both smiling. Dana looked rather pissed and again my mind just wondered what was going on with Shane as she just looked at me and Bette, looking rather lost
