It was two nights before Bette and Tina’s wedding. The gang had decided that as the wedding seemed to be following a fairly traditional pattern, both women also had to have a hen night. The five of them were gathered at Bette and Tina’s house, along with Shane’s friend Leigh. It had been decided that Alice and Leigh would take out Bette, and Dana and Shane would take out Tina. Tina was also to stay at Shane’s apartment for the next two nights, so the next time the couple would see each other would be when Tina walked down the aisle.

“Does it have to be two nights apart?” Bette was groaning.

“Yes” Alice said firmly “you wouldn’t want to be all hung over on your wedding day now, would you?”

“Okay, okay” Bette relented “but Shane, you take good care of my baby”

“She’s in my safe hands”

“That’s what I’m worried about” Bette muttered.

Shane pretended not to hear “shall we go?”

Dana, Shane and Tina picked up their jackets and headed for the door. Tina turned to Bette.

“I love you so much” Tina breathed.

“I love you too baby” Bette left a lingering kiss on Tina’s lips.

“You be good” Tina stared into Bette’s eyes.

“The same goes for you”

They kissed again, neither one actually wanting to leave.

“I can’t believe the next time we kiss we’re gonna be married” Tina seemed a little scared.

“No” Bette leant in and kissed Tina softly “now, the next time we kiss we’re gonna be married”

Tina laughed “okay I’m going now” she walked out of the door.

“Have fun baby”

“You too” Tina called before closing the door behind her.

Bette turned to Alice and Leigh “okay, so what do we have planned?”

“Let’s just get a drink while we wait for them to leave” Alice headed for the kitchen.

The taxi carrying Tina, Shane and Dana pulled up outside a club Tina didn’t recognise. Shane paid the driver and they all got out.

“Where the ***** are we?” Tina asked.

“Well I’m guessing you’ve never been to one, and I know Dana hasn’t, so…” Shane pointed at a sign.

“Pink Ladies?” Tina was confused, then she noticed the pictures under the name “oh my God, you brought me to a strip club?!”

“Oh yeah, you ready?” Shane grinned and led the way in.

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Bette, Alice and Leigh had finally left the house and travelled to a bar just outside of town. The sign above the door read ‘Coyote Ugly’. Bette shook her head and followed the others inside.

The music inside was loud, and everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves. Alice beckoned Bette to the bar and bought her a drink. The three of them stood at the side just taking in the atmosphere. After about five minutes a new song came on and Bette could only stare as three gorgeous women got up onto the bar and started to dance provocatively. This wasn’t going to be any ordinary night.

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Inside the strip club Tina, Shane and Dana were all seated at a table towards the back. They were sharing a bottle of champagne, and Shane and Dana were refusing to let Tina pay for anything.

“This is your night” Dana pointed out.

A new dancer came on stage, and Tina couldn’t help but watch her. It was only over the past, well less than a year, that she had begun to fully appreciate the female body. The only woman she’d ever really seen naked and in a sexual manner was Bette. The blonde on stage was removing her clothes and dancing round a pole, and Tina just sat there with her mouth slightly open.

“Oh yeah” Shane was happy.

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The women had finished dancing on the bar at ‘Coyote Ugly’ and Bette turned to Alice and Leigh.

“Oh my God!” was all she could say.

“Pretty hot, huh?” Leigh grinned.

“Uh huh” Bette smiled and pictured Tina up on the bar.

“What you smiling so hard about?” Alice poked her.

“Oh, I was just imagining how hot Tina would look up there”

Alice and Leigh rolled their eyes.

“Another drink?”

***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Tina hadn’t previously noticed, but there were other women walking round the floor offering private dances. She’d watched a few strippers on the main stage, and had also drunk several glasses of champagne. Shane beckoned over one of the dancers and slipped some money into her g-string.

“Our friend here’s getting married” Shane told her.

The dancer looked confused.

“To a woman” Dana added.

The dancer nodded and smiled. She walked over to Tina and began to dance. Tina stared at her and noticed similarities with Bette. The woman had mocha skin and dark curly hair. As she took off her bra and straddled Tina’s lap, Tina was just imagining that the woman was Bette.

Shane and Dana cheered as the woman turned and started to grind her bare arse into Tina. Tina laughed and played along. Before long the dance was up. The dancer picked up her bra and leant over to kiss Tina on the cheek.

“Good luck” she breathed.

“Thank you” Tina smiled as the dancer walked off.

****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The alcohol was flowing freely at ‘Coyote Ugly’ and Bette found she was actually really enjoying herself. Alice returned from the bathroom as one of the women picked up a micraphone.

“Everybody, we’ve got a lady in the house who’s getting married!” the woman shouted.

Everyone cheered as Bette turned to glare at Alice, who was grinning.

“Bette Porter, get your arse up on the bar now!” the woman looked down at Bette.

Bette shook her head, but Alice and Leigh dragged her over to the other dancers who hauled her up onto the bar and got up next to her. The men in the bar cheered when they saw Bette.

“Boys, now I know you think you’re losing out on a hot woman, but I’m sorry, you never even stood a chance” the woman continued “this one goes for strictly ladies only!”

The men cheered even louder, along with Alice and Leigh. The music started up, and Bette found herself being forced to dance with the women. What the *****, she thought, it’s a one off. A smile spread across her face as she moved to the music. Alice and Leigh were impressed.

“She’s good” Leigh commented.

When the song had finished, Bette climbed down and walked back over to her friends.

“I’m gonna kill you” she glared at Alice.

“You were loving it” Alice poked her.

“Okay, it was fun” Bette admitted.

***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Shane and Tina had dropped Dana home and now reached Shane’s apartment. Tina fetched a glass of water and headed up to bed in the spare room.

“You had a good night then?” Shane asked her.

“I feel like a real ***** now” Tina grinned.

“You’ll feel even more like one when you’re married” Shane pointed out.

“Night Shane”

“Night”

****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Bette finally arrived home and collapsed in bed. She hated the fact that Tina wasn’t there, but she knew two nights were nothing compared to the forever that they were going to share
