Holding Lily, Bette watched Tina tidying the room. Then, looking down at the baby again, getting lost in all her cuteness, Bette noticed for the first time the resemblance between her daughter and Tina. Amazed, Bette looked up at Tina. Noticing Bettes stare, the intensity of her gaze, Tina shyly smiled.

Smiling back at Tina, Bette looked down again, wanting to see it, to notice the resemblance again. After a few minutes staring at the baby, Bette looked up again, finding the room empty, with Tina nowhere around. Standing up, Bette walked to Lilys room.

Feeling the hot water running down, Tina sighed with pleasure. Every muscle of her body was still aching but caressing her belly she noticed how smaller it was, which only made more obvious how bigger her ***** were. Smiling, Tina thought about Bette and wondered when she was going to notice, to say anything about it. Chuckling, she jumped outside the shower. Taking the big soft towel that Bette carefully placed on the toilet for her, Tina heard Bette calling her name. Frowning, wondering what she could want, wrapping her body in the soft towel, Tina walked barefoot to where the voice was coming from. Entering Lilys room, she found Bette changing the baby.

Noticing Tina at her back, Bette said,

“I cant Tee…I really cant…how can she do this?” She mumbled, unable to look at the baby.

Chuckling, seeing the look on Bettes face, Tina walked to her side. Relief to have Tina at her side, Bette moved away. Leaning on the doors frame, she said, trying to breathe,

“How can she do that?…she is just a baby!”

Chuckling, Tina handily changed Lilys diaper. Holding the baby, she walked to Bettes side,

“You better get use to it…I wont be always here…” she said trying to sound serious but secretly finding hilarious the repulsive look on Bettes face.

“Why?… Where are you going?” Bette asked, taking Lily in her arms again.

Leaning forward, Tina whispered in Bettes ear,

“Nowhere….but I might be at the store, at work…or just enjoying a long hot bath….”

Sighing, Bette nodded with a shy smile on her face. Looking down at the baby, loving her sweet features, she noticed the resemblance again.

“What?” Asked Tina, noticing the look on Bettes face.

Looking up at Tina, Bette whispered,

“She has your nose…its exactly like yours…”

“You think?” Tina asked, taking a look, unable to see the resemblance.

Looking at the baby, Bette nodded. Then, noticing the scent coming from the used diaper, she frowned looking at Tina.

“I…Im gonna put her to sleep…” She whispered, moving away from Tina.

Nodding, Tina smiled, knowing what Bette was escaping from.

Staring at the ceiling, Bette sighed. Tiredness was catching up with her, but then, hearing Tina walking in, she sat on the bed to better look at her. Seeing Tina creaming her bare arms, she smiled. She could not think of anything sexier than seeing Tina applying cream to herself.

Noticing the smile on Bettes face, knowing what was causing it, Tina slowly walked towards the bed. Sitting on Bettes side, she gasped. Noticing the frown, Bette asked,

“You ok?”

Nodding, Tina whispered,

“Yeah…sure…is just…that…am still a bit sore down there…”

Nodding, Bette moved a little, leaving space for Tina to lie on the bed. Reclining on the pillows, Bette smiled again. Seeing the smile slowly growing on Bettes face, Tina whispered, leaning forward,

“Whats so funny?”

Opening her arms, inviting Tina in, Bette sweetly whispered,

“Come here…”

Lying at Bettes side, resting the head on her chest, Tina felt all her muscles, her whole body relaxing. Feeling Bettes fingers caressing her head, playing with the hair, Tina had to close the eyes, defeat by pleasure.

“Tell me about that day…” Bette whispered, closing the eyes, noticing Tinas scent caressing every one of her pores.

“What day?” Tina whispered opening her eyes for a second.

“They day we kissed for the first time….” Bette added.

“They day you kissed me for the first time…” Tina corrected, loving clearing the facts.

“Yeah…” Bette chuckled, adding “…that day…”

Sensually accommodating the head on Bettes chest, placing her arm over Bettes flat belly, Tina closed her eyes again.

“What you want to know?” She whispered, finding Bettes arm.

“What you thought then…how you remember it…” Bette whispered, as her fingers were softly finding Tinas nucha.

Sighing, Tina smiled as the memories were coming back. Caressing Bettes arm, she said,

“I… You…” Not sure how to start, Tina found Bettes fingers, and playing with them, feeling Bettes other hand caressing her head, she sighed again.

“I woke up…the day after the opening, I woke up and the first thing that came to my mind was the smile on your face when I almost lost my earring. I remember that I thought it was beautiful but I didnt think much more about it…. But then, on my way to work, as I was driving, images of you kept coming….you during the dinner…you chatting with Alice…you smiling at Logan…the way your hand caressed the wine glass during dinner….

“But you didnt even look at me during that dinner…” Bette whispered, remembering the dinner perfectly.

“Of course I did…I guess…because on my way to work the day after all Id see were all those images passing in front of me…I…at work I could not stop thinking about you, remembering the feeling that went through my body when you walked us to the door…Eric was walking a little ahead and you…letting me walk ahead of you, rested your hand on my back…It was just for a minute, very lightly…”

“You noticed that?” Bette asked, feeling goose bumps jut by the memory of it.

“Of course I did…later…the next day, at work…I remember feeling it again…aching for that moment…for that feeling…I didnt know what was going on…could not name what was going on with me but I remember that Kate told me I looked different…I nodded, unable to erase the smile from my face but still unsure of why was I smiling for…on my way back home…unconsciously, I started making up excuses to see you again…and then, when I got home…as I was tidying my closet…”

“Nice allegory…” whispered Bette, smiling.

Chuckling, Tina continued, loving hearing, feeling Bettes heart beating.

“I noticed Ive lost the earring…so, without much thinking…I run to my car and before I could realize what I was doing I was walking inside your gallery…”

Nodding, Bette whispered,

“…I was on the phone and I saw you walking in…I could not move my eyes from you…I had to cut the call…unable to concentrate on anything but you…”

Nodding, licking her lips, Tina added,

“I looked around…you were no there…at least not in that room…then…suddenly, I panicked….everything was painfully clear…what was I doing there?… Why was I needing talking with you?…I…I decided that it was a big mistake and was going to leave when I noticed Logans watercolour…there was something in it that calmed me… as I was looking at it… I felt you…I sensed you looking at me…and then I saw your image at the door..I…”

Unaware of what she was doing, Bette put Tina into a hug, holding her, cradling her she subtly encouraged her to continue.

“… And then you vanished…I turned around and you werent there…I…I felt cold…I walked around the room and nothing…and then I saw your offices door at the end of the hall…I walked towards it…couldnt stop myself…the ajar door was inviting me in… and when I looked inside you were reading something…your back to the door…I…I could not stop noticing your body…which surprised me just then..I was checking you up when you suddenly turned around..

Nodding, Bette smiled, remembering the moment precisely.

“I…” Tina continued.

“…You walked inside.. slowly….looking me directly in the eyes…” Bette interrupted, adding, “… till you stop at my side, then…your burning eyes looked down, leaving mine cold and lost…but your lips were trembling…and I could not stop myself…I dont know how or why I was holding your earring just then, but there it was, in my hand…so I handed it to you and as I felt your fingers grazing mine I…I…

“You kissed me…”

Tina sensually whispered, moving her head, resting the chin on Bettes chest to look at her in the eyes.

Nodding, getting lost in all the love, pain and memories hid in Tinas eyes, Bette mumbled, feeling Tinas lips on hers just by voicing the memory.

“I kissed you…”

“Yeah…” Tina sweetly whispered, moving a little to rest her hungered lips on Bettes.
