Bette was knelt down in her garden, clipping some rosemary, with each snip the air around her became, wonderfully fragrant. The image that came to mind as she sat surrounded by the wonderful scent was heavenly. Just last week Tina had used the last of her rosemary for a dish that she was making for dinner. She was standing at the counter in the kitchen talking to Bette with her back turned to her. They were talking as Tina prepared their meal, and Bette and Angie were seated at her dining room table coloring in a coloring book, taking turns on each section of the same picture.

Bette would every once in a while peak around the corner at Tina as she spoke. She was completely unaware that Bette was now only half listening to her. It seemed as though Bette was entranced with watching Tina move in her kitchen. She was totally at ease in her space, she knew where everything was located, she was always mindful of the fact that Bette hated dirty dishes sitting in her sink, she was always careful to wipe up anything immediately. Tina would keep a constant motion of chopping something and then wiping the area down, she never left a mess that would cause Bette any anxiety about her being in her kitchen.

But that wasn’t what caused Bette to stare continuously at Tina, oddly enough it was just her back. Tina and Angie had come over while Bette was still at the office, and from Tina’s outfit she hadn’t bothered to change clothes. She’d only taken off her shoes and suit jacket and placed them in Bette’s bedroom. The shoulders on her silky blouse accentuated her every move. The vigorous way it rippled across her back as she chopped furiously away at the rosemary was nothing short of enticing. The way she’d slightly move her head back to answer Bette did not go unnoticed, Bette wanted her to turn around, but the fact that she didn’t made it all the more enticing to watch. She’d seen Tina already when she got home but she wanted to see her now, there was something about not seeing her face that made Bette want to touch her at this moment. So she did, she stood up and without notice to Tina she wrapped one arm around Tina’s waist, she stopped chopping and looked over to Bette. A small nod towards Bette brought about a quick kiss.
