Tina got in to bed with Eric, she lay in his arms, but it was not Eric she dreamt of it was Bette Porter.

Tina woke up smiling from her dream about Bette. She thoroughly enjoyed her dream, but it also woke up feelings and emotions inside her that she was not sure she was ready to feel. She knew there was a strong connection, she just hoped that Bette felt it too. But why? Why did it matter how Bette felt about her? After all they were just friends, or was it more? How could it be more, Bette is *****, and Tina is not. Still, she never felt this way before, so connected, so close. With a heavy and confused heart, Tina walked into the bathroom to shower before work.

****Bettes house

Bette woke up feeling very refreshed and a little bit wary of the lunch with Tina. She knew Tina had put that earring back in her ear. Did she purposely leave it at the gallery hoping Bette would find it? If she did, then why? Tina is straight. Isnt she? Bette fought with her own inner demons, trying to figure out this feeling of closeness, afraid to move forward. No one has ever won her heart. No one has ever been able to get in. How did Tina sneak in so quickly, and so unnoticed. Bette knew she felt a connection when she kissed Tina, and she was almost positive that Tina responded for a brief moment. The thought of Tinas soft lips made Bettes heart beat a little faster. Bette let out a long, deep sigh and walked into the bathroom to shower before work.
