Chapter 16

I should never let you go. I would do anything for another chance. I’m not afraid to make a fool out of myself. ~ Tina Kennard

Tina took Bette in her arms. She has never heard anyone refer to her as Bette just did. Even just by listening to Bette she felt special. Tina pulled back and looked into Bette’s eyes.

“This was a surprise for the both of us but it feels natural too. I promise you that I would never do anything to hurt you because I would also be hurting myself. I know it’s too early but my feelings run deep Bette. I care for you so deeply that I would do anything to make you happy.” Tina said while wiping Bette’s tears away.

“Thank you, Tina. It means a lot to me to hear you say those things.”

“I do have one thing to ask you though. We need to establish something before we move on.”

“What is that?”

“Bette, can you please be my girlfriend?” Tina asked with a sheepish smile on her face.

“I don’t know, Tee. You’ve told me several times that I’m not your type so I moved on.” Bette replied seriously.

Tina gave Bette a sideway look with one of her brows raised.

“I’m just kidding, babe. There’s nothing more than I would want.” Bette said smiling.

“Good. Now that we’ve established that I can start doing this anytime I want.” Tina said and took Bette’s lips into hers.

“We’ve been doing that for quite a few times already.”

“Shut up, Porter and kiss me.”

“As you wish, babe.”

The morning was spent with the new lovers lounging around the house and getting to know each other. They were currently in the bed, cuddling and talking.

“Hey B, can we get out tonight? Alice asked me if I can meet her at The Planet tonight and I told her I would try.”

“Sure. Does she know that you’re bringing me? She might get disappointed. She might want some alone time with you.” Bette stated.

“She does. I told her I would have to check with you. You won’t believe the ribbing I got from her when I told her that I would have to ask you. She was teasing me about being whipped.” Tina said chuckling.
