"Okay I also have dessert" Bette told her as she put away the plates

"Oh goody. What is it?" Tina asked

"Well we have cherry cheesecake and chocolate cake. Which one do you want?" Bette asked

"Um I’ll take the cheesecake" Tina said as Bette passsed it to her "No no no I think I want the chocolate cake, wait the cheesecake"

"Are you sure you want the cheesecake?" Bette asked laughing

"Yes, I’m sure, but only if you’ll share yours with me" Tina said as Bette handed her the cheesecake

"I wouldnt have it any other way"

Tina~

"This is nice" Tina thought as she stared out at the waves crashing against the rocks

"Here, have a bite" Bette said breaking her thoughts. She looked over at Bette who held out her fork with a generous piece of cake one the end. Tina leaned over , Bette gently placed the fork up to her mouth. Tina let her mouth cover the fork. Never taking her eyes from Bettes

"That’s great" Tina said

"You have soem frosting on your mouth" BEtte told her

"Where?" Tina asked wiping her mouth with a napkin but missing the frosting "Did I get it?" Bette just laughed at her. Bette reached out and wiped Tina’s mouth with her thumb. Bette put her hand on Tina’s cheek, gently caressing it. Tina closed her eyes and took in the feeling of Bette’s soft hand on her face. Bette finnaly broke the silence.

"How about some music?" Bette asked. Tina looked confused for a second until Bette explained that she had a portable radio in her car.

"Sure, music would be nice right now" Tina said. Bette made her way down and to the car leaving Tina to her thoughts

" she looks beautiful" Tina thought as she pictured Bette in her white linen pants and shirt "And those dark curls" Tina envisioned herself playing with Bette’s hair "Bette’s eyes’ reveal more than she does at times and that smile makes my heart race" Tina’s thought went a little bit further than how BEtte looked in her clothes. She thougfht about how she’d look out of them. What it would be like to feel her lips against Bette’s in a passionate kiss. What it would be like to have Bette’s hands all over her body. Tina closed her eyes and licked her lips in anticipation. She wished that Bette would kiss her before the day was over. As soon as she made her wish Bette sat down beside her.

"I got it but I left my cd’s in the house. So we’ll have to listen to the radio" Bette said

"Um yea that’s fine" Tina stammered

"Tina are you all right? You look kinda flushed" Bette asked

"I’m fine." Tina answered

"Are you sure? I could take you home" Bette asked

"I’m sure. I’m fine. Honestly" Tina said taking the radio from Bette and finding a station. Tina found one and started to sing along. She noticed that Bette was just looking at her with a smile on her face

"What?" Tina asked

"Nothing. your cute singing even if it is off key" Bette said Tina blushed " She called me cute" She thought

"Fine. I won’t sing anymore" Tina said pretending to be upset

"No, by all means continue" Bette said "I like the sound of your voice"

"Too late the song went off" Tina said as the D.J. made an announcement. Tina started to say something else when the instrumental to a song came on. She jumped up

"Com eon you have to dance with me" She said

"I don’t know this song. Who is it?" Bette asked

"It’s Savage Garden. Truly Madly Deeply" Tina explained

"And which is the name of the group?"

"Savage Garden, now come on" Tina said grabbing Bette hand and pulling her close. Tina noticed how perfectly they fit together. They swayed to the music. Tina put her head on Bette’s shoulder. Their bodies perfectly in tune with the other. They moved slowly. Neither wanting the song to end. Tina thought that time had stopped and no one else existed but them. Tina lifted her head and looked at Bette. They stared into each other’s eyes

"No reason to postpone the inevitable" Tina thought as she slowly moved her head closer to Bettes. She braced herself for the kiss she knew would cause fireworks. Just before her lips reached Bette’s, Thunder clapped in the sky and it started pouring rain. They broke apart and grabbed the stuff and made quickly made it to Bette’s car.
