Bette undressed and jumped in the shower. She stood there for a moment letting herself get comfortable with the hot water. “What the ***** was that all about?” she asked herself. “Perhaps it’s just hormones or something” she thaught. Bette finished her shower and put on her robe and headed to her bedroom. As she walked out of the bathroom she noticed that Tina wasn’t home. She headed over to her nightstand to check out the invitation. Next to it was a note from Tina, it read:

Bette,

Here is the invitation for the dinner tonight. I have a million things to do so I probably wont see you till then. Have a good day.

T.

Bette got dressed for work and headed out the door. She knew she had to do something to better her situation, she couldn’t take being without Tina anymore. Tina kissing her this morning gave her great hope in the future. She stopped off at the florest on the way to work and had a great arangment of daisy’s sent to the center for Tina. They were her favorite flower and Bette was the only person in the world to ever send them to her. Knowing this Bette neglected to send a card along with it. Feeling content, Bette proceded to go to work.

Alice showed up at George’s right on shedule. She grabbed two shopping bags out of her car and headed up the sidewalk. George leaned over and looked at her clock. She jumped up out of bed and walked over to the door counting down the seconds. She reached the door when she got to one and flung it open. “Right on time” she laughed. “Wow, your sober” Alice quickly replied. They went into George’s room and Alice threw the bags on the bed.

Alice: “Alright, I found the perfect outfit for you, sometimes I scare myself” she said unpacking the clothes.

George: “Ok, let’s see the damage.” she said falling onto the bed.

Alice squeeled and jumped around as she started to empty the bags. She pulled out a pair of black capri, flair suit pants “I knew you would never wear a dress and I thaught these would be something we could both agree on.” she said laying them on the bed. Next she pulled out a black short sleve button down shirt. “See how simple this is” she said laying the shirt on top of the pants. “Then there is this..this..and these” she said pulling out a white tie and matching belt. Then a pair of black flip flops. George stood up and walked around the bed to get a better view. She looked down and shook her head in aproval.

George: “Wow Alice, I have to admit im impressed. I kind of what to try it on” she said reaching for the pants.

Alice: “Well go ahead, thats why I got it”

George: “Im definatly digging the flop flops” she said slipping them on her feet.

Alice: “Yeah well I didn’t want to get thoes but when the really hot sales girl told me that they looked awesome I caved”

George quickly changed into her new outfit and checked herself out in the mirror.

Alice: “You look great! Kinda like a spy or something, right?”

George: “You were going for that weren’t you?” she said with a smirk then continued to check herself out.

Alice: “I totally was” giving a nod.

George: “Call me vain but I am looking like hot”

George’s cell phone began to ring. “Mount Olympus, Home of the God’s” she answered. “Ha, hey Tina what’s up?……..yeah we got them…yeah I know 7:30….im not going to be late….ok…..oh really….that’s interesting…….so that’s why your in a good mood…..ok, ok…..alright….bye” She hung up the phone and threw it on the bed, she had a strange grin on her face.

Alice: “What? What’s going on?”

George: “Tina got flowers today. Daisy’s.”

Alice: “That’s nice, though i’ve never heard of sending daisy’s to people. Helena is weird so I suppose she would” she said trailing off.

George: “No, no, you don’t understand. Daisy’s are Tina’s absolute favorite flower. Bette…is the only person who has ever sent her daisy’s.” she said raising her eyebrows.

Alice: “Well hot ***** dog! Porter has finally decided to do something. It’s about ***** time, this was getting a little nerve racking.”

George: “Well they arent back together yet so don’t get your panties in a bunch” she said as she grabbed her keys.

Alice: “Where are you going?”

George: “I have some things to do”

Alice: “Well you have to change, you can’t wear that now”

George: “Sure I can, look im driving.” She said holding up her car keys “Nothings going to happen, besides I look too hot to take it off”

Alice took that statement as a compliment to herself and followed George out the door. They said good-bye and headed in different directions.

Bette was sitting at her desk quietly when her door opened. “Ms. Kennard to see you” James said then moved aside to make way for the guest. Bette’s heart skipped a beat. “I bet you expected the other one huh” said George as she sontered into the room.
She walked over to Bette’s desk and spun around showing off her new digs.

George: “I know what you did today” she said as she sat down.

Bette: “You look great. What did I do today?”

George: “Daisy’s are pretty aren’t they?” she said raising an eyebrow

Bette: “How did you know about that?”

George: “Tina called me not too long ago. She knew they were from you right away and she sounded pretty happy. So what’s going on?”

Bette: “Don’t tell Alice this ok…cause you know, she tends to get a little out of control”

George: “Sorry Bette, she knows about the flowers.”

Bette: “No not that, promise me.”

George: “Ok, ok. I promise. Now spill it.”

Bette: “Tina kissed me this morning”

George sat back in her chair with a pleased grin across her face, she didn’t even need to know the details. She knew it was only a matter of time now. Tina was finally starting to come around.

Bette: “Oh wipe that grin off your face. Im not sure what to think of it just yet. The flowers were just an impulse, I feel like im falling for her all over again, I mean i’ve always been in love with her it’s just….It kinda feels just like starting over. It doesn’t seem as hard as I thaught it was going to be and that’s what scares me.

George: “Well, in life we take our chances and make our mistakes. The entire time we are alive we are just trying to figure things out and sometimes were just too scared to do that. You are not that person, your strong, you just kinda lost your way, and now your finding it again….well I gotta go. People to do, things to see” she said giving a wink as she stood up.

Bette: “So she liked them then? The flowers?”

George: “You know she did. I’ll see you later. The festivities begin in T minus..two hours and 30 minutes”

Bette: “Yeah, see you then”
