Tina was blushing as she pushed herself back against the wall to give herself some room to breathe. “Tina,” she muttered hesitantly. “What’s yours?” She gulped, not sure if she should be
afraid as she might if this were a man she was dealing with.

            “I’ll let you figure that one out yourself,” she teased as she brought up her other hand, taking a few wavy locks that framed Tina’s face and twisting them in and around her fingers. “You are
so fucking sexy, you know that?” Her eyes were piercing and her smile bright, and the feeling in Tina’s stomach was making her wonder if she liked what this woman was doing or if she was going to be sick.

            Shane nudged Alice, beckoning her to follow her gaze. As she also caught sight of what was happening with Tina near the entrance to the restrooms, she grabbed Dana’s wrist and motioned for Shane to follow as she left the front bar.

            “I’ve wanted to kiss you since you walked in that door.” She leaned in to Tina’s ear and whispered, “Do you think I could have a taste of that beautiful mouth?” As she licked the shell of her ear shamelessly, Tina tried sliding out from between this woman and the wall, only to be stopped by a second slender arm. Now Tina began to get nervous as the woman drew back to smile at her.

            “Um, I think I’m going to go back and meet my friends, if that’s alright,” Tina timidly replied, silently cursing herself for asking permission. The taller woman made no response, and taking
Tina’s non-answer as an okay, she brought her hand to a rosy cheek and leaned in for a kiss.

            The moment their lips touched, Alice shoved the woman to the side, tearing her away from the kiss. “Hello Helena,” Alice spat as Shane and Dana took up residence on either side of her. Tina
caught sight of them and blushed, embarrassed.

            “Hello…Alice,” Helena began, raising her head pompously. “Nice of you to break up an intimate moment.”

            “Yeah, an intimate moment you should be having with your girlfriend of three years,” Alice spat. Tina’s stomach turned as the realization set in. “Maybe you should get back home to her before you get yourself in more trouble.”
