“You, know.. Tina.” replied Alice, putting emphasis on the blonde’s name in order to avoid getting ‘the look’ from Bette. She had been given the ‘I’m going to hurt you’ look many times, but didn’t think this was the best time to push her luck.

Bette just smiled at her friend and stood up from the table. “You know what, Alice? I think I am.” she said as she strode confidently over to Tina’s table.

Alice just turned to Dana and Shane and smirked. “Porter’s back.” was all she said.

————————————————————-

Tina could sense rather than see Bette approach their table. As she felt her getting nearer she looked up and her eyes once again locked with Bette. The rest of the girls at their table silently watched as they knew something very interesting was about to happen. All of them except Sandy had believed Tina to be straight, and were on the edge of their seats waiting to see what would happen.

Bette stopped directly in front of Tina. If she were nervous, you would never be able to tell by simply looking at her. She was the definition of confidence as she extended her hand to Tina.

“Ms. Kennard, it’s such a pleasure to run into you again. Would you care to dance with me?” she asked in a voice that almost made Tina melt on the spot.

Gathering her courage and clearing her throat Tina replied, “I would love to dance with you, Ms. Porter.”

She placed her hand inside of Bette’s and both women audibly gasped at the feeling that passed through them as their skin touched. Smiling at each other, they made their way out to the dance floor. Bette placed her hands on Tina’s hips, and Tina wrapped her arms around Bette’s neck. They began to sway to the slow song that was currently coming over the speakers, easily finding a rhythm with each other. As the music continued to play they absentmindedly moved their bodies closer together. When the song ended they were so close together it was difficult to tell where one began and the other one ended. As the music changed to a faster beat, so lost in each other were the two women that their bodies took on a life of their own. They began a seductive dance that had every head in the club turned, watching this beautiful couple on the dance floor. As the music continued, people began to look away, feeling as if they were intruding upon this incredibly *****, intense moment between them.

Neither Bette nor Tina could tell how long the dance had lasted. As they pulled apart from each other, Tina looked down into Bette’s eyes and what she saw took her breath away. Never before had she seen such raw emotion in one person’s eyes. Lust, desire, hope, confusion.. it was all there. Every emotion she saw in Bette’s eyes, she knew was showing just as openly in her own.

Bette looked into Tina’s eyes and could not look away. She couldn’t utter a sound. She couldn’t move for fear that her body would crumble without Tina supporting it. She couldn’t believe everything she was feeling, and she wanted so much to be able to show Tina everything. So, she did the only thing she could think of. She slowly lowered her lips towards Tina’s, only closing her eyes as she felt the softness of Tina’s lips upon her own.
