Bette and Tina sat and spoke as if they had known each other forever. Like two old friends catching up after many years. This in many ways could be true. They had been born to love each other and lovers in past lives. When they met each other their hearts became one and all the small things that they didn’t understand about love finally became clear.

Bette ordered dessert and coffee for them.

“What is Tres Leche?” Tina asked

“It’s basically cake made from three different kinds of milk and topped with cherries and whipped cream” Bette answered

“Sounds delicious”

“Trust me, you’ll love it”

“I already do” Tina whispered staring into Bette’s eyes intently. Tina only broke contact when the waiter arrived. Bette picked up a fork and cut a piece of the cake. She held the fork out for Tina to taste the cake. Tina gently wrapped her lips around the fork.

“Bette this is fabulous” Tina said after savoring it

Tina picked up a cherry and dipped it in the whipped cream. She then fed it to Bette. She was completely taken by surprise when Bette licked her finger. At first she was surprised and then aroused. She wanted Bette in the worst way but she knew that they had to take it slow. For both their sakes. They sat and fed each other cake. They were finally brought back to the real world when both their cell phones rang. Bette excused herself to answer.

Bette~

“Bette Porter here”

“Powerhouse Porter! What’s up?”

“Alice! You have THE worst timing of anyone I know!” Bette said in a loud whisper

“Aw come on, what could you possibly be doing at two thirty in the afternoon besides working?” Alice asked

“Shit, it’s two thirty?”

“Yea aren’t you in your office?”

“Al, you know I’m not since you called my cell”

“I called your cell first. So spill it, who’s the date that keeping you from your precious Gallery?” Alice asked

Bette mumbled something incoherent

“Speak up Porter, I didn’t quite catch that”

“Tina Kennard!” Bette almost yelled

“Again? What happened to Bette “Love “Em and Leave “Em “Porter?”

“Al, I don’t want to talk about this right now and I don’t want to keep Tina waiting”
