Alice, Shane and Dana were waiting for Bette and Tina to arrive at Milk and were patiently listening to Dana telling them about practice. Kit had some great tunes going and the atmosphere was electric although something seemed to be drawing most peoples attention to the door and when Al finally managed to see what was causing all the interest, her face lit up with the most mischievous grin and she motioned for Shane and Dana to look. Tina and Bette had just walked into the club and Tina was acutely aware of many women staring at her, not only that but they were staring at Bette too and Tina felt an inexplicable surge of jealousy course through her body. Alone, each woman was striking but together they were awe-inspiring. Tina realised that all the gazes directed towards them were filled with longing and desire, some were even filled with jealousy and she could not help but feel slightly self-conscious. Bette on the other hand seemed to be unaware and unaffected and still had this air of confidence which seemed to envelope her, and as she put her arm around Tina to lead her towards the gang, that same confidence seemed to infuse and envelope her and make her feel safe and protected. There were warm hugs all round as they joined the table and soon conversation, as well as drinks, were flowing freely. Tina had opted for tequila shots, as she never really got used to all the fancy cocktails that were on offer. It wasnt something that was available in Zim so she had gotten used to the simple things. Bette couldnt help but notice how natural and unaffected Tina was, she seemed to carry off everything she did with a natural and simple grace. She loved the way Tina gave as good as she got when it came to Alice and the way she seemed to have cast her spell over Shane and Dana. Dana was lacking her trademark shyness and Shane had said more tonight in response to Tina than Bette had heard her say all week. She was lost in thoughts of what her life would be like with Tina by her side when she suddenly felt herself being dragged onto the dance floor by Tina. Kit had decided to take matters into her own hands and try and help move things along a bit for her little sis. She had noticed that they had yet to dance and so played a classic which she hoped would bring Tina onto the dance floor which she would then fade into a slow song so the two of them could get a little closer. As soon as Tina heard the first bars of What a Feelin by Irene Cara (I know its cheesy but Im a dancer and part of the reason is Flashdance, sorry guys) she knew she could no longer resist the urge to grab Bettes hand and get up and dance. Ever since Bette had mentioned showing them how its done, Tina thoughts had been filled with images of what it would be like to feel Bettes body moulded to her own, moving together to a rhythm which held promises of things to come. She had imagined them grinding together in perfect harmony with the music surrounding them, her hands roaming freely over the body that intoxicated her and drugged her senses. Little did Tina know that her fantasy was soon to become a reality as soon as Kit put the second part of her plan into action. Before Tina realised what was happening the song had changed and Bette was drawing her closer, her fingers hooked through Tinas belt loops, until their bodies made contact. They were locked together in a slow, sensuous dance having never lost eye contact. The chemistry between them was tangible, it was as if they were the only two people in the room, eyes searching, hands exploring and mouths itching to taste the other. There movements were so in sync and in tune with each other. Bette felt as though she were in heaven, the soft contours of Tinas body fitting themselves to hers, Tinas hands endlessly caressing her back and her own hands in contact with Tinas bare skin. Tina thought she was dreaming, it felt so right to be in Bettes arms, it felt as though it was where she belonged. She could not suppress the moan that escaped from her throat when she felt Bettes hands gently caressing her back and longed to feel Bettes skin under her fingers. Bette could feel Tinas hands edging lower and her fingers seeking to delve underneath her shirt and then she felt it, Tinas hands caressing her back, her fingers tracing indiscernible patters along her spine and Bette could no longer resist the urge to capture Tinas lips with her own. It was a kiss filled with such passion and promise and yet it was the softest and most delicate kiss Tina had ever received. Wanting to deepen the kiss and seeking to get lost in the arms of the woman holding her, she gently sucked on Bettes bottom lip before tentatively tracing the contours of her lips with her tongue seeking entry into Bettes mouth. She heard Bettes moan just before she her tongue being captured by Bette, each woman exploring the other, drawing themselves closer together and never wanting to let go. Alice, Shane and Dana could not take their eyes off the couple on the dance floor and the scene transpiring before them, the attraction between the two was undeniable. The sight of the two beautiful women moving together was breathtaking, each complimenting the other and so lost in each others eyes that you could not help but look on in wonder. Those two should get a room, this is a public place you know Oh Al, leave em alone I think its cute was all that Shane would say while Dana on the other hand just looked on in wonder, thinking that that is what she wanted if only she could come out of the closet long enough to get it. Once the song had finished, Tina had regained her senses and was confused about what just happened and what her feelings were towards Bette. She could not deny the passion she felt for her nor the longing but Bette was a woman and this was new to Tina. Without thinking, she did what she had learnt to do so many years ago in Zimbabwe. she ran.
