Suddenly Bette was becoming upset by his admiration of Tina, nudging him back. "Hey." He turned his attention back to Bette for a moment as she spoke. "Maybe I should go first."

 "No way." He smirked, rubbing the stubble on his chin with his free hand. "I’ve got this."

 Bette raised an eyebrow at his unwelcomed arrogance as she leaned against the bar to take in the event. She watched him walk up to Tina, making sure he didn’t try anything inappropriate, as he edged his way into the conversation. After a moment of conversation between the two of them, Tina nodded and put her hand out in an obvious ‘I’m not interested’ statement. Bette smiled, knowing her turn was up next.

 Once the man returned to the bar, he set his drink down, averting his eyes to the ground. "You give it a try." He sighed. "She’s not as easy as I thought she’d be."

 Bette scowled at his rude comment, but knew that she’d have to keep her comments to herself to get her true victory.

 "Wish me luck." Bette smiled, making her way through the crowd to Tina. The man watched intently to see what she would do to get Tina’s attention.

 Nearly beside Tina, Bette had to elbow her way past two other men to get to her.

 "T?" Bette laughed, trying to seem like a stranger as she turned her back to the man at the bar. "I fucking need to kiss you."

 Tina was confused as she spoke to Bette, excusing herself from her conversation with her colleague.

 "What is it babe?"

 "If you want a kiss later, you’d better kiss me right now." Bette smiled, leaning to the side as she nodded to Tina with her seductive eyes.

 Tina smiled, instantly sucked in by Bette’s steamy composure. "Is that a threat?" She teased, walking in towards Bette.

 Bette grinned, softly pulling Tina in as she drew her lips to Tina’s. With a soft sigh, Bette brought her hand from Tina’s neck, down to the small of her back. Tina leaned back as she moved, lifting her chin as Bette pressed against her lips harder, throwing her arms around Bette’s neck. Their kiss lasted for about a minute before Bette began to release her hold on Tina and Tina returned her arms to her sides.

 "Don’t look now." Bette smiled, "But there’s a guy at the bar that hit on you, and I bet him that you’d be more into me."

 Tina gasped with a smile. "You are so sick."

 "It’s called a winning a bet, Tina." Bette grinned as she turned back to the man and shrugged, taking Tina’s hand as she lead her onto the dance floor. The man shook his head and resumed his search for another woman around the bar.

 Tina put her arms over Bette’s shoulders with Bette’s hands on Tina’s waist and swayed with the music as they spoke.

 "It’s not called winning, bet." Tina teased. "You cheated."

 "Not cheated." Bette smiled back, turning her head to kiss Tina’s forearm. "I just know you."

 Tina smiled, shaking her head. "I’m not that easy, babe."

 "Hey – I know that better than anyone." Bette said, bringing her lips close to Tina’s.

 "You do, do you?" Tina smiled, keeping time with the music.

 "I happen to recall an earlier time," Bette started looking up before back to Tina, "When I had to wait for months to touch you."

 Tina smiled and blushed, moving her hips in sync with Bette’s.

 "I think the waiting was good for you." Tina joked, pressing her cheek against Bette’s as Bette took Tina’s hand and danced closer.

 "That was so difficult." Bette whined, leaning her head to the side as her lips gently met Tina’s neck while Tina tried to pretend she wasn’t filled with desire.

 "Oh, poor baby." Tina teased, closing her eyes as she smiled at the feel of Bette’s lips.

 "Thank goodness we fuck so much now." Bette said, taking her lips from Tina’s neck and whispering in her ear.

 Tina’s mouth dropped opened as she giggled at Bette’s comment.

 "Hey – I’m still not easy." Tina insisted as Bette smiled and pressed her hand against the small of Tina’s back, drawing her in closer.

 "We’ll see." Bette whispered again as Tina smiled at what she imagined would be a wonderful night.
