This time because Tina’s lips found hers as soon as she came up. Bette’s hands instantly went around Tina’s waist and Tina hands found Bette’s hair. Their need for each other was like a fire that could not be controlled. The more they were around each other the more the flames grew and it was only a matter of time before they couldn’t control them selves any longer.

Tina knew what she wanted so she left it in Bette’s hands to take it to the next level. But Bette wanted to make sure that it was perfect. That Tina’s first night with a woman would be memorable because it would be Bette’s last night with any woman other than Tina. Bette removed her lips from Tina’s and looked her directly in the eyes.

“Tina I just wanted to tell you…”

“What you said to the delivery guy?” Tina asked with a straight face.

Bette and Tina had changed their clothes and were now sitting on opposites ends of the couch. Their eyes speaking unspoken words and promises. An unending story that hadn’t even begun yet.

“So do you really want to know what I told Mike?” Bette asked trying keep her mind of the other things that she wanted to do to Tina

“Yea, I do”

“I told him that next time he should keep his eyes in his head and off of my girlfriend” Bette told her hoping that the statement wasn’t too far from the truth. The flash of electricity in Tina’s eyes told her that she couldn’t be farther from the truth. Bette decided to try to cool them down again by putting on a movie. She thought it would take their minds off each other. As the movie went on they ended up lying on the couch with Tina head on Bette’s shoulder.

By the end Tina was asleep and Bette didn’t want to move because she knew if Tina woke up she would go home. So she stayed completely still and felt the rise and fall of Tina’s chest against her own. She twirled one of Tina’s blonde curls around her finger. Bette closed her eyes and took a mental picture of this event. She wanted to remember this moment forever.

“I could stay like this forever” Bette whispered in Tina’s hair. Tina stirred a little; she gently touched Bette’s cheek.

“Take me to bed, I want to feel you next to me” Tina said sleepily

Bette led Tina to her room and into bed. Once Tina was in bed Bette lay down on her side. This was the first time that she didn’t regret having someone in her bed. Bette felt even better when Tina rolled over and cuddled up to Bette like she was on the couch. They both drifted off into an easy sleep and on to cloud nine. Dreaming of what was yet to come.
