Full Moon

Bette stopped walking a few yards from her house. Tina looked at her confused.

“What is it babe?”

Bette turned and seemed to be looking down the block.

“Uh, nothing I guess. I have a weird feeling, something’s off.”

“I know what it is.” Tina put her arms around her waist and pulled her close.

“Oh, yeah?”

“Yeah, our bodies have been separated for too long. You are in Tina-withdrawl.”

Bette laughed as she walked them toward the front door, not letting go of their embrace.

The brunette lost her train of thought with Tina kissing her sensuously on the neck. “Mmm that must be it.”

They walked into the house and right to the couch kissing and caressing one another. They stopped suddenly when Bette pulled back. Tina said nothing, thinking that she knew what Bette was thinking. The brunette brushed her nose against Tina’s as their foreheads met.

“It’s a lot isn’t it T? Is it all happening too fast for you? I feel like we are getting really serious.”

Tina sat back wondering if Bette was thinking she had made a mistake. “Um, do you want to…slow down?” Tina held her breath as Bette seemed to take her time answering.

“Do you?”

“No, Porter, I asked you first. Tell me, honestly. I know what we said back at The Planet, but if you’re having second thoughts about us being together then..”

“NO! no. I mean I know it’s only been a short time but I am sure about you…about us. I know that being thrown together, working toward this unimaginable goal might cause us to have these feelings but it’s more than that. I feel like everything that has happened to me has led me to this moment with you. Even, being turned. If I wasn’t a vampire I might have never met you.”

“Bette, I feel the same way. I want to be with you forever.”

“T, that’s what I want too.” She faced Tina, holding both her hands. “Tina, I love you more than…life. You’ve changed my entire life. I want to spend the rest of…” Tina’s heart was beating out of her chest with anticipation of what her next words might be.
