“Wow, its so empty!”

“Yeah, everyone’s gone home.”

“So where are we going for our date then? Please tell me Tee!”

“Well, I thought long and hard about it. Technically this is our first date. But at the same time technically its not. So I, oh wait” Tina and Bette stood in front of one of the set rooms, the open wall covered by a massive white sheet. “You’ll just love this, its from the Wilder film. Close your eyes, it’s cooler if you take it all in at once.” Bette obliged and closed her eyes, as Tina took her hand and led her behind the sheet into the three walled room. When she opened her eyes the first thing she saw was a picnic basket, spread out on top of a rug with a bottle of champagne chilling next to it. There were candles lit all around the room. It took her a few seconds to register what was on the walls.

“Tina this is my gallery…”

“Yeah, the Bette Porter gallery recreated from the first time we met”

“This is amazing. I cant believe you did this. Its just…” Bette burst out laughing mid sentence.

“What?”

“Its funny, I wish I’d remembered your present. It connects to this. Its nowhere near as thoughtful and impressive though”

“Why what is it?”

“You’ll just have to wait and see!” They sat down and Bette began to examine the food. “So how did you get all those candles lit then?”

“Actually, that bit was easy. They’re movie props, not real candles. You can control them all with one little switch. Just don’t look to close at them.” Tina laughed “Trying to track down every bit of art and figure out where to put the prints was the hard part. You couldn’t have made a nice little internet site with your compilations could you!”

Bette mocked offence

“You mean you don’t remember exactly what hung where and every last detail like you have set up here?”

“All I remember is you. You just completely blinded me. All I could see was you.” Tina blushed.

“Awww Tee. This is amazing, thank you so much” Bette took Tina’s hand and kissed the top of her fingers. Tina felt her whole body flip out at the touch of Bettes lips. She leaned forward, her whole body screaming “Kiss Bette!!” at her, while her head begged her not too, out of fear she was moving too fast, that she wouldn’t be able to control herself. She surrendered herself to her impulses and delicately pressed her soft lips against Bettes. Bette wrapped her arms around Tina as she began to suck Tina’s bottom lip before smoothly pushing her tongue into Tina’s welcoming mouth. Tina felt her whole body tremble under Bette’s warm tender touch. She knew if she didn’t stop within two minutes they would end up completely naked, and they weren’t ready for that. Yet. She pulled away from Bette.
