As Tina came home from her day at work, she found Bette outside under the moonlit sky. Only the light from the kitchen lit up the path near the pool with old 50s music playing. The beautiful view caught Tina by surprise as she rushed ino Bette’s arms. As Bette and Tina held each other, they began to sway, eventually dancing slowly to the rhythm of the old jazz.

Bette: I remember the very first time I saw you. (Holding Tina in her arms as she looked her in the eye.) You. were. ravishing. (Kissing Tina lightly on the lips as they continued to dance.)

Tina: You were the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. (Holding her hands together as her arms rested on Bette’s shoulders.)

Bette: I wanted you so bad. (Looking to the side and then back at Tina.) But you were with a man. (Pretending to be disappointed.)

Tina: But that didn’t stop you. (Challenging her.)

Bette: Are you kidding me? (Stopping for a moment and then continuing to dance.) You were sooo fucking sexy. (Moving Tina’s hips with her hands.) There was no way I could let you go.

Tina: But you did let me go. (Grinning.) As I recall, it was the earring. I had to come back for the earring. (Leaving a cheeky remark.)

Bette: That’s not why you came back. (Utterly confident as she moved with Tina to the rhythm.)

Tina: That was an excuse, was it? (Giggling.)

Bette: That’s what it’s called, T. (Laughing quietly.) When you ‘accidentally’ leave something so you have to come back.

Tina: I did no such thing. (Trying not to smile as she looked to the ground.)

Bette: I’m sorry. (Pausing in sarcasm with a smile, looking to the beautiful Tina Kennard.) What was that? (Loving that they could joke together.)

Tina: No matter. (Trying to stop smiling as she looked back up at Bette.) Hey – you kissed me first. (Giggling as she tried to pass the blame.)

Bette: Yes, I did. (Proud to accept the blame.) And I’m glad I did.

Bette pulled Tina’s blouse from being tucked in and moved her hands ever-so-slowly up to her back. Tina closed her eyes, enjoying the soothing warmth of Bette’s hands. She was so familiar, and Tina knew that she was the only woman she ever wanted to feel against her. Tina took in the mood of the night as she gazed into Bette’s eyes and became serious with her next words.
