Intr. Bette’s House Bedroom:
Bette rolled to her side, her body responding to the sunlight filtering through the windows. She felt the warmth of the rays and warmth of the woman sleeping next to her. Smiling she opened her eyes and looked upon the face of the only woman who would hold her heart. She snuggled closer trying to close out the harsh realities of the day and keep the memories of last night.
The wrap party was a huge success for both professional and personal reasons. Tina had secured three new scripts and some business ventures that she, herself didn’t quite get. Her partner was on top of the world at the moment. And she was so proud of her, proud to be in her life, be a part of that and this time she swore she would do things right.
The personal reasons, closing her eyes and sighing in pleasure at the love they had made; like it was the first time all over again. Their love always held that feeling and quality. The years apart had been of loneliness and heartbreak; frustration and denial but that had been laid to rest. No more stolen moments or longing looks. No more jealousy over a new girlfriend or uncomfortable questions. Tina Kennard had come back. And this time Bette would be a better wife, partner and lover to the woman who made her complete.
And last night, God last night when they got home Tina had been on fire. They had barely made it through the door when Tina was on her; kissing her and claiming her. And for the first time in what seemed like forever, there had been no guilt, no regret, no second thoughts of hurting anyone. Last night had been just about them; their connection; their renewed love and their passion for one another that no one else could ever fulfill.
Tina (mumbling): I thought I wore you out last night (pressing closer to Bette and smiling as she heard her love groan and pressed her hips closer in response.)
Bette (kissing her face): You did and it was wonderful. You were wonderful; I fall a little deeper in love with you with every passing moment (brushing her lips against Tina’s.) I’m glad Melissa agreed to watch Angie for the night (rolling Tina on her back and rolling on top of her. They shared gentle kisses that held promise and more meaning than words could ever invoke.)
Tina (nibbling Bette’s bottom lip): Mmm last night was absolutely amazing (reaching up and caressing Bette’s face only to have her hand captured and kissed) you were, are amazing.
Bette (gently sucking each of Tina’s fingers into her mouth): I love you (running her fingers across Tina’s face and through her hair.) And you Ms. Kennard are fantastic (kissing along her jawline) absolutely breathtaking (nibbling on her earlobe) phenomenal.
Tina (wrapping her legs around Bette’s thighs; kissing her neck and shoulders): I love you (kissing her again.) I wish you could stay home with me and Angie today. Give us some time to make plans and figure out what we want to do.
Bette (rocking her hips gently against Tina’s): I know what I want (kissing her neck and moving upward to soft lips.) I won’t be long. I told Phyllis I needed a couple of days off to get some things together. She just wants to talk to me about the opening night at the Hammer Museum (closing her eyes at the humiliation Jodi had put her through.)
Tina (wrapping her arms around her and pulling her closer if it was possible; what Jodi had done to Bette, had made Tina want to strangle her although she knew her partner had other ways of dealing with things): I’ll be here no matter what happens.
Bette (reveling in the contact; the comfort and safety of being in Tina’s arms): Thank you. I just want to get this over with so I can enjoy some time with you and Angie.
Tina (leaning up and capturing her lips trying to convey the love she felt for her): Whatever happens, Angie and I will be waiting for you.
Bette (looking into hazel eyes): You are amazing Tina (kissing her before getting up.) I’ll make some coffee then I’ve got to get in the shower okay (standing and stretching. Not realizing that Tina’s eyes were glued to her ass.)
Tina (groaning): Bette that image so did not help. Maybe I can persuade you to stay in bed a little longer (lowering the sheet revealing her breasts to Bette’s eyes. She saw the look of pure want and hunger.) Does that change your mind or will this (crawling across the bed smirking as she heard Bette groan?) Come back to bed babe.
Bette (taking a deep breath): Tina you have no idea what you do to me. You have no idea how much I would love to just crawl back in there and make love with you. No fucking idea (closing her eyes as Tina licked her lips) but the sooner I go, the sooner I can come home and spend some quality time with you and Angie, without distractions.
Tina (understanding Bette’s point but wanting to tease her some more): So you’re going to leave me all alone (laying back and giving Bette an eyeful.)
Bette (giving up; she was going to be so late; but she had made a promise that they, both Tina and Angie would always come first): You’re so bad…
Tina (teasing): You have no idea.
Bette (pressing her body to Tina’s): I have first hand knowledge of how bad you can be (squeezing her breasts in the palm of her hands) and now I’m going to show you how naughty I can be (kissing Tina softly and then proceeded to show Tina exactly that. That is until Tina turned the tables on Bette. And yes Bette was indeed late and if anyone noticed she was walking a little funny no one dared to make a comment.
