“What are you doing,” Tina asked softly coming into the room

Bette opened one eye and peered at Tina and closed it back again, “My head is spinning,” said Bette giving up on her shoes and leaning back

“You were really drunk last night, Id imagine your hangover is massive,” Tina remarked kneeling down in front of Bette and slipping on her sneakers and lacing them up

Bette opened her eyes and looked down at Tina, “Thank you.”

“Your welcome. Are you ready to go home?”

“Ready…no. I have to though.”

A soft chuckle escaped Tina at this, “Thats the spirit. Remember that Im here for you.”

Bette smiled a beautiful smile that literally took Tinas breath away, “Thats the main thing thats keeping me going forward.”

If it were at all possible that statement made Tinas heart beat just a little faster within her chest. She cleared her throat in an attempt to distract herself from this.

“Then lets get you home to face the day,” she says rising to her feet and holding out a hand to Bette

Bette took the offered hand ignoring the tingling that always occurred when they touched and allowed Tina to pull her to her feet. The pull was too strong and Bette stumbled into Tina but they were able to keep their balance. Bette had her body pressed against Tina and they were staring into each others eyes.

“Im sorry,” Bette whispers

“Dont be,” Tina whispers back

They seemed to be at a standoff as to who would make the first move. It was decided when Bette moved her head forward and captured Tinas lips in a gentle kiss. At its core it was a kiss of exploration but soon turned into a kiss about possession. Tongues were dueling, bodies were touching, hands wildly exploring. Both felt the inexplicable pull that had been before them. The tether holding them together just out of reach of the visible spectrum.

As this kiss intensified the tether was becoming easier to see. The thing about it was that it was getting smaller, tighter. When oxygen was at its lowest capacity for sustaining human life, they had to separate. They both took in deep breaths as they stared in each others eyes. Eyes full of so many emotions it was hard to categorize them into a single one. Most noticeable was the intense desire, coupled with the ever burgeoning love.
