«What do you think you’re doing ?», Bette asked, her eyes still closed.

«I don’t know what you mean…», Tina replied, feigning ignorance.

Then without warning, Bette caught Tina’s foot and began tickling her sole. Tina burst out laughing, attracting stares from everyone. «Baby… please…. Please sto.. stop», she begged while Bette still tickled her. Tina wiggled her foot, trying to break free from Bette’s hand , but the Bette’s fingers stopped teasing and began massaging her foot very slowly.

«Like this better?», Bette asked, as her fingers softly rubbed her heel, sole and toes. «That is quite soothing… Are you sure you don’t work here part time?», Tina asked, winking.

«Where would I find the time between my job and keeping my beautiful wife happy?», Bette replied. Tina loved it when Bette called her «her wife». This was still unreal… Only a year ago, she was engaged to a man and here she was, married to a woman… She thought about the old Tina, the one who had been so scared to leave Joe for Bette… She knew now that going through with her marriage last year would have been the worst mistake of her life. Bette was the one for her, without a doubt in her mind…

«Hey, where are you?», Bette asked softly when she saw Tina daydreaming.

Tina smiled. «I was thinking that I would have been a fool not to leave Joe for you… I don’t even know why I hesitated…»

«It was a stressful time for you back then… You were confused and scared. I’m glad you decided to be with me though», Bette told her looking lovingly at her wife.

«All right you two, time for your next treatment», Elisa said walking toward them. They got off the Jacuzzi and dried themselves before heading for their massage. They also had a manicure and a pedicure and finished the day with a light snack.

In the cab heading back to the hotel, Tina rested her head on Bette’s shoulder. «I feel so relaxed I could go to sleep right now…», she said.
