"He’s great. I’m glad he made a good impression." Tina smiled from ear to ear. "Hey Porter.. what made you decide to meet my dad?" She asked curiously.

"I just thought it was time to meet my future father-in-law.." Bette grinned as Tina rolled her eyes. "You know, after we’ve slept together and all.." She joked, albeit half-seriously.

"Stop saying that as if we had sex!" Tina admonished the brunette.

"You mean to say we didn’t?" Bette teased, raising an eyebrow. "I kid! I kid!" She laughed as Tina began to swat her on the arm a couple of times.

After a few more minutes of just walking and talking, the pair decided to head back in the direction of Tina’s apartment since the sun was beginning to set. Needless to say, it made Bette happy that Tina was now finally able to talk to her face to face again. She was more than a little worried when the blonde couldn’t seem to look her in the eye all day in school. She finally breathed a sigh of relief when the ice that Tina had set up between them finally thawed.

"Last night.. was definitely memorable.." Bette smiled when they rounded the corner to Tina’s street. "But.. we weren’t even able to share a meal or ride on the Ferris wheel.." She sighed. "You know what.."

"What?" Tina asked, stealing a sideways glance at Bette.

"I think you owe me another date.." Bette looked at Tina hopefully with a smile.

Tina laughed a little at this. "Fine. I guess I do."

Bette grinned from ear to ear and looked down on her feet as excitement and happiness flowed through her veins. "Great." She sighed, completely elated. She would have another date with Kennard.. another chance to make good memories. She has not felt this euphoric since.. since.. Bette furrowed her brows as she suddenly remembered something very important. The precious memory flashed through her mind so vividly.. it couldn’t have been a figment of her imagination or part of a beautiful dream. It was real.. it had to be real. She felt it, and she knew. "Hey Kennard.." She whispered as she slowed down her pace.
