“Fuck. I’ve got to warn Tina.”  Helena quickly excused herself. She was too late.  Bette stopped in her tracks as she watched a brunette slide her body suggestively against Tina.  Tina only encouraged the woman to be even more daring sliding her hands down her own hips inviting the woman to do the same. 

                 Helena was curious how Bette would react to this particular display.

                Bette was dumbstruck.  At first she thought it was Helena touching Tina like that but as she got closer she realized not only that it wasn’t Helena but also that Tina seemed to be the instigator of this little dance.

               Tina felt herself losing her self-control; it was time to move this party elsewhere.  She pulled the brunette to her.  She glanced over the woman’s shoulder while bending to whisper an invitation in her ear when she met ebony eyes. It took several seconds for Tina to register the fact that she was indeed looking in Bette’s eyes. Tina shuddered the fantasy that the woman was Bette and locking gazes with Bette overloaded her senses.

              The woman whose name she had not bothered to remember responded by pulling Tina closer.  She watched as Bette moved her eyes from Tina’s to her body moving against another.  The pain she saw when Bette briefly met her eyes before she closed them altogether broke Tina’s heart.  A bucket of ice water could not be a more effective means of killing her arousal. 

             She quickly ended the dance much to the confusion of her partner who started to protest.  Suddenly Alice was there rescuing Tina.  “If you don’t want problems I suggest you back off.” Alice told the woman. Seeing the anger in Alice’s eyes the woman moved away though reluctantly.  “What the heck is going on?  I thought you two were working, and not the crowd.” Alice hissed.

              “I needed a break.”  Tina confessed. 

              “You could have just told me that.”  Alice replied anger lacing her voice, “then I wouldn’t have convinced Bette to come out for a few hours.”

             “I thought you two would be home with Angelica.” Tina defended herself. “Where is Angelica?”
