Tina: Hey Bette come on in (She closes the door as Bette puts her stuff down and then Tina grabs her and practically slams her up against the wall and starts to devour her lips. Their arms were wrapped around each and their bodies pressed together. As the kiss lingers on Tina pulls back a little) Bette I have counted the hours today till this moment. This morning it was sheer torture having you so close to me and I couldnt even touch you

Bette: Smiling.Holding her close..their lips still touching .well Im here now baby

Their arms locked around each othereither one wanted it to end then Tina remembered

Tina: (Breaking away) Dinner.and runs into the kitchen, Bette following her smiling and laughing to herselfOh thank God its OK

Alice: Who are you looking for Bette????

Shane: Hey Alice give it a rest will you and leave Bette alone for Christs sake
