Unlike our hero, Tina had no problem in the wardrobe department. She slipped into her most comfortable jeans, a black halter top, with flip flops.

They agreed that Bette would pick Tina up, since the blonde was paying. So, no one can have the advantage. It was exactly 6 oclock when Tina heard the doorbell. She opened the door to be greeted with a shy smile.

"Hey you."

"Hey yourself." Bette checking out Tina from head to toe. "Wow. I didn’t know jeans can be so sexy."

Tina was mirroring Bette’s action. "I’ll second that. Those jeans look comfortable on you. Perfect fit."

Bette grinned. "Thanks. Want to see the back pockets?"

"Wise ass" Tina chuckled.

"Why thank you." Bette winked.

Tina rolled her eyes before suggesting, " Let’s just go, Bette."

Bette and Tina soon arrived at Greentea, a very popular Chinese Restaurant on the upper west side. Tina was surprised that Bette chose this particular restaurant, because she goes there all the time with Jenny. Bette is scoring big points with Tina.

They were greeted by the host upon entrance, then a young waiter showed them to their reserved table. It didn’t take them long to decide on the orders. Bette wasn’t picky, and Tina knew what she liked. So, once the waiter was gone with their orders. The conversation came easy between the two women.

"So, why did you ask me out, T? What about Jenny?"

"Jenny’s away at a writing seminar, and apart from Jenny, I want to hang out with you most. " Tina said candidly.

"Really? I’m honored." Bette smiled, but before you could say anything else. The waiter came back with their meals. Tina’s face lite up when she saw her food; she was hungry. Bette laughed at her counterpart, who couldn’t wait for the waiter to leave before digging in her food.

"Hungry, T?" Bette teased.

Tina nodded. " I haven’t eaten anything since… well, yesterday."

Bette’s jaw dropped. "What? Why not?"

Tina shrugged. "Sometimes, I can’t find time to eat. Work gets in the way."

"Wow. Here. Want some of my crab rangoon?" Bette holding her plate out.

"Sure! I’m not one to shun away from good food, and I love these things!" Tina grinned. "Can I have the chicken fingers, too?"
