Tina suddenly realized that she was flirting with Bette. “What the ***** am I doing?” she thought. She attempted to lift herself out of her seat. “Sorry im a bit drunk” she said trying unsucessfully to stay on two feet. Alice noticed Tina fall onto Bette and hurried off the dance floor with Kaitlin right behind her. Tina grabbed onto Bette’s arm for support, without notice her other hand was on Bette’s thigh and her head was resting on Bette’s sholder. Bette looked at Alice and Kaitlin with a surprised look on her face. Kaitlin looked at Alice and wispered “She really is charming isn’t she.” Alice stared at Bette and said “Indeed she is.” Tina finally realized where her hand was but neglected to move it. She didn’t know if it was just the alcohol or if she actually wanted to leave her hand there.

Kaitlin: “Hey Tina, im going to go hang out with Alice, do you want me to call you a cab?”

Bette looked at Alice knowing exactly what she was thinking.

Alice: “Bette, you can get her home safe right?” she said nudging her.

Bette: “Uh yeah sure. I can do that.” she said grabbing Tina’s hand and putting her arm around her for support. “Alright, let’s go little drunky”

Tina: “Ok…where are we going?” she said in a drunken slur.

Kaitlin: “Bette is going to get you home. I will call you tomorrow.”

Alice gave Bette a wink and motioned for her to call her in the morning. Bette looked at Alice with a death stare and went back to helping Tina.

Bette: “Alright, let’s get you to the car.”

Tina: “ooookkkkk” was her only reply.

Bette led her through the doors and out to the parking lot. She guided Tina over to her car and said “Here hold onto this” as she placed Tina’s hands on the spoiler. Bette walked over and unlocked the door and proceded to load Tina into the passenger seat. Bette couldn’t believe what was happening, usually when she went out and a girl she was interested in got this drunk she usually scurried out of the bar as fast as possible but Tina was different. She wanted to make sure she made it home ok and the way she was acting made Bette laugh. “How could I actually think this is cute. She’s trashed and strait” she said to herself before climbing in the car.

Bette: “Hey, you ok?” she said as she turned on the car.

Tina: “I am fantastic. I haven’t had this much fun in a long time.”

Bette smiled as she looked over at Tina. Her head was thrown back and her hair was messy and covering her face.

Bette: “Here we better put this on, we don’t want you falling out of your seat” she said as she reached across Tina for the seatbelt. Tina suddenly became very nervous, the butterflies in her stomach were getting bigger and bigger. She stayed completely still as Bette reached over her. “She smells so good” Tina thought. Bette lightly touched Tina’s shoulder as she straitened out her seatbelt. Her touch caused Tina to breath deeply.

Bette: “You ok?” she questioned noticing Tina’s breathing pattern had changed.

Tina: “Yeah, yeah im ok” she replied snapping out of thought.

Bette: “Ok, so how do I get you home from here?”

Tina: “Um, just take a left out of here and turn right at the third light.”

They both remained quiet on the ride home. Soon enough Bette was parked outside of Tina’s apartment. Tina searched around for her keys and undid her seatbelt.

Tina: “Thank you, for the ride home”

Bette: “It was my pleasure” she said flashing Tina her 1000 watt smile.

Tina tried to climb out of the car on her own but she was once again unsucessfull. Bette laughed and jumped out of the car to open the door for her.

Tina: “This is so embarassing” she said getting out of the car.

Bette: “Don’t be embaressed. Do you need some help inside?”

Tina: “Hmm im afraid I might.” she said grabbing onto Bette’s arm.

Bette: “Ok you lead the way.”

Bette helped Tina into the apartment. Bette was about to turn for the door when she felt Tina grab onto her hand. She spun around and found herself less then a foot away from Tina. She had a confused look on her face and she could tell by her eyes that she was thinking about something.

Bette: “What?” she said in a hushed voice.

Tina: “Have you ever wanted to do something and you dont know exactly why you want to do it?”

Bette: “Yeah”

Tina: “ok”

Tina slowly brought her hand up to Bette’s cheek. Her skin was so soft, the butterflies returned to Tina’s stomach. She looked deeply into Bette’s eyes and could tell she wanted the same thing. Bette started to get the feeling that Tina would lose her nerve so she quickly moved in and pressed her lips to Tina’s. Tina didn’t try to pull away, she made mental notes of everything that was happening. She felt like she was 13 again. Everything was new, the softness of her lips, her smooth skin and her wonderful scent. Finally Bette pulled away and looked at Tina who seemed to be more confused than ever. “I should go” she said running her fingertips across Tina’s chin. Tina couldn’t move or think at that moment and all she could say was “ok”
