One fine morning, Bette decides to tell Tina the depth of her feelings. She drafts an email, Tina, I know its crazy, but I think Im in love with you. After reading it over, Bette thinks it is silly and childish. She hesitates to send it and after reading back the words repeatedly, she feels she needs to tell Tina this. With one mouse click, the email is sent.

That night, Bette can hardly sleep, thinking of the response Tina might give. Her friendship with Tina is now hanging in the balance.

____________________________

The day after her brazen email to Tina, revealing the true nature of her feelings for her, Bette is nervous as *****. She arrives early in her office at 7 am and logs on her computer as quickly as possible to see if that wonderful message “You Have Email” will light up her computer screen.

Sure enough, there it is. Bettes heart skips a beat! But instead of a detailed response, Tina has simply replied “Lets meet in the same Chinese restaurant at 7 pm tonight”.

What will she say to me tonight? Bette cannot stop thinking. She is excited and at the same time worried. Is tonight the route to a new love or a jeopardize friendship?

Later that day.

Tina looks at her watch and sees that it is already 6.15 pm. She quickly packs her desk and just as she is about to leave, Eric enters her office.

Eric: Hi darling. You are early today.
Tina: Eric! What, are you doing here?
Eric: We have not seen for days and I miss you. Ive come to fetch you for dinner.
Tina: You shouldve called. Ive already got a dinner appointment.
Eric: Dinner appointment? Oh no, whos the lucky one other than me?
Tina hesitates a while.
Tina: Its Bette Porter. I need my company is buying some of her gallery works.
Eric: Bette? Great! Ive not seen her for a while. Lets have dinner together.
Tina: But .
Eric: Come on darling, Ill drive.
Before Tina can say another, Eric leads her out to his car.

Bette arrives early at the Chinese restaurant. She sees the time and it is 6.35 pm.
25 more minutes. Bette smiles to herself.
She has purposely chooses the same table they had sat the other day.

At 6.55 pm, Tina enters the restaurant. Bette has been watching the door entrance and sees her almost immediately. She stands up and waves her over.

Bette: (smile) Hi.
Tina: Bette, I need to tell you .
Eric walks from behind and joins them.
Eric: Hi, Bette!
Bette is shocked to see Eric. She smiles awkwardly.
So this is what she wants to tell me Bette thinks. She can feel a hundred arrows shooting right through her heart.
Bette: Hi Eric.
Eric: I hope Im not interrupting you ladies.
Tina and Bettes eyes caught each other. Bette gives a weak smile and looks away.
Eric: Its my lucky day to have dinner with 2 beautiful ladies. Lets sit.
Eric pulls out a chair for Tina.
Bette: I need to go to the ladies. Please excuse me.
Bette takes her handbag and heads towards the washroom.
Tina: I need to use the washroom too.
Tina leaves the table and catches up with Bette.

Inside the washroom

Tina: Im sorry, Bette. I just want to tell you
Bette: (cuts in) I know actually I wanted to tell you I cant have dinner. John is waiting me at home and I need to go.
Bette does not know why she has mentioned John. She just wants to find any excuse to get out of this awkward situation.
Tina: At home?
Tina sounds disappointed.
Bette: Ya, at home.
Tina: I see. So does that mean you are leaving now?
Bette: I guess so. I see you again. Please tell Eric Im sorry.
Bette walks towards the door.
Tina: Bette?
Bette stops and turns around.
Tina: Lets not let it mess everything up.
Bette: It wont, I promise.
Tina: Can we meet again tomorrow?
Bette: I dont know, Tina. bye.
Bette heads towards the door. Tina watches her back as she walks out of the washroom.

Tina returns to her table.
Eric: Darling, what would you like to have?
Tina stares through the glass panel of the restaurant and sees Bette driving off.
Eric: Tina?
Tina turns her head to look at Eric. Tears roll down her cheeks.
Eric: What happen, darling? Why are you crying?
Eric tries to wipe away her tears but she quickly turns her head away.
Eric: What is happening, Tina?
Tina shakes her head as she sweeps away the tears with her palms.
Eric: Now, whats wrong darling? There must be something, tell me please.
Tina is getting frustrated.
Eric: Wheres Bette? Is there something to do with her?
Tina: Can you stop bothering me! Please!
Eric is shocked by Tinas remark. He has never seen Tina behaving like this before.
Tina: Im sorry. I.
Eric: Its okay. Lets go, Ill send you back.

Bette arrives at Johns doorstep. She hesitates for quite sometimes before she decides to go in. Bette enters the house and sees John sitting on the couch. He is engrossed in watching a baseball match on TV and did not notice her.

Bette walks to the couch and sits beside him.
John: Beauty? What a surprise!
Bette looks at John and without saying a word, she presses her lips onto Johns.
Bette: Make love to me.
John is surprised and at the same time overwhelmed at Bettes request. He looks at Bette tenderly and wraps his arms around from behind her to hold her close. Thereafter, he places soft, gentle kisses up and down her smooth supple neck.
John: I miss you baby.
Johns hand caresses Bettes body, slowly running up from her thighs, to her sides and up to her full, firm *****. He cups them, gently squeezing her *****, as his fingers finds her nipples and stimulates them, exciting her further. John unbuttons Bette’s blouse to reveal a lacey black bra. He takes both ***** in his hands and rubs her orbs lovingly. Bette throws her head back in pleasure. John leans over and kisses each breast through the lace. Bette starts to breathe very deeply. John finally takes the ***** from each cup and sucks on the firm *****. He reaches around and unhooks the bra freeing her ***** from their wonderful constraint. Bette can feel the shaft of his hard ***** pressing up against her crotch. John slides his right hand down across her stomach, continuing down until he cups her mound. Bette feels her knees weaken and she moans. John begins to stroke her slit and soon his fingers are coated with her juices. He uses two fingers to gently circle her *****, causing Bette to gasp in pleasure. She feels him begins a trail of kisses that starts at her neck and leads slowly, teasingly down her back, finally to end at her *****, as he gently removes the rest of their clothing. He kisses and caresses her *****, enjoying the feel of her smooth firm flesh. He slowly kisses down the split of her ***** and then to her inner thigh avoiding her *****. Bette groans as she bends forward to give him better access. John begins to lick up and down her slit. His tongue finds her sweet ***** hole and he begins to move his tongue in and out of her dripping hole. Her taste excites him, causing him to lick her faster. He moves up to her ***** and swirls his tongue around it. Bette moans. John spreads her thighs open wide and positions himself between them. He leans down to her breast, and begins to lick around her nipple. Their tongues meet and swirl together as they kiss. As they kiss, John slowly thrusts forward, filling Bettes ***** with his *****. He pushes in and out with slow and strong strokes. Bette holds her ***** and pinches her nipples as he ***** deeper and faster into her tight *****. Bette feels the pleasure builds and builds, until it explodes in a rush, and she shudders through an intense *****. She feels her knees give and she sags down. With a loud groan, John begins to ejaculate, sending warm thick streams of creamy white ***** all over her *****. John holds her close in his arms until she recovers and then lays her on her back.
John: I love you, beauty.
Bette did not reply. She turns her back towards John as tears stream down her cheeks.
