“Shane I’m so sorry” Tina said putting her hand on Shane’s

“Don’t.” Shane said taking her hand off the table “I’d like to be excused now” She said getting up from the table and walking away. A few seconds later they heard a door close.

“Bette did you really have to do that?” Tina asked getting up from the table and putting the dishes in the sink

“I didn’t mean to make her cry. I was just asking questions,” Bette said putting her plate in the sink

“Well it was uncalled for. She’s lonely and doesn’t have any one. Never did”

“I said that I didn’t mean to. I was just making small talk. I will have a talk with her tomorrow. I’ll come and get her and talk her to lunch”

“Canceling on me already to take a young pretty girl to lunch?” Tina replied putting her arms around Bette’s neck “And to think I thought you were a respectable woman”

“I’ll have you know that I am very respectable. Shall we go to bed?”

“We shall indeed. I just want to say good night to Shane and tell her where the towels are”

“Okay” Bette said placing a chaste kiss on Tina’s lips

Tina walked over to the other bedroom door and knocked

“Come in”

Tina opened the door and walked in

“Hey Shane. I just wanted to say good night and the extra towels are in the closet next to the bathroom”

“Good night”

Tina started to walk out the room

“Tina?”

“Yeah Shane?”

“I just want to say thank you again. Not many people would take in someone they don’t know. Hell my own family didn’t even keep me. So thanks for trusting me and for being a friend. You and Bette”

“Your welcome Shane. Good Night” Tina said closing the door and wiping a tear from her eye. Tina walked to her bedroom and saw that Bette was in the shower. She thought back to the week before. Things were so different. She had dumped Eric and was now in a relationship with a woman. What an interesting change of events. They hadn’t even had sex yet and it felt better to be with Bette than with Eric. She couldn’t ask for anything more.

When Bette came out the shower she went in but made it quick so that she could cuddle up to her in bed. That was all she wanted to do since she told Bette at lunch to pack a bag. She knew that she couldn’t hold out for much longer when it came to sex. She knew that she was sure. But was Bette

“Tina?”

“Yea babe?”

“Did you know that we’d have kids so early in our relationship?” Bette asked laughing

“You are so not funny. Bette?”

“Yea?”

“Kiss me. Kiss me like you’ve never kissed anyone”

And with that Bette pulled Tina close and kissed her with all the passion, fire and love she had in her. It was a kiss that sealed their destiny, their lives together. As one.
