Tina and Bette went to their rooms and prepared for bed. Bette talked to Tina about what she had covered with Angie. They went over what they still needed to cover:  relationships and sex. Bette indicated that she wanted Tina present when those discussions occurred. Tina agreed. Tina also would do a recap of all the salient points when the opportunity presented itself in New York.

Bette:  You know it’s not hard to talk to Angie. But sometimes I wonder if she is absorbing what I am saying.

Tina:  Well, let’s quiz her at some point and see what she heard. Then it will be all up to her as to what she does. She seems excited to be getting her driver’s license.

Bette:  I told her we were still trying to figure out the vehicle situation. But she needs a driver’s license to drive anything. If everything goes well, she’ll have a driver’s license by the 2^nd week in August. By then we need a car or cars and insurance. Do you have a desired vehicle you would like to have?

Tina:  I think we should take Shane’s advice.  Let’s buy a couple of used vehicles which have low mileage and have good safety and repair records.  A vehicle which will get us from place A to place B safely and relatively inexpensively.  We can always upgrade later if we do not like our decision. There is no need to spend money when a reasonable less expensive alternative is available.  I would like to have something to carry our groceries in and maybe a few canvases. When you owned your gallery, you didn’t own a SUV, so a car with a large trunk and a decent backseat area would be good. Daniel is getting bigger and he needs to be comfortable when he rides back there.

Bette:  So, you’re okay with a used car say one or two years old?

Tina:  Yeah, why not?

Bette:  Okay, I’ll see what I can find.

Tina:  Ready to go to bed or are you needing some attention?

Bette:  I just want to hold you and maybe a few kisses. But I am willing for more.

Tina: I think we need to get a little rest. How about some skin-on-skin contact?

Bette:  You got it. Oh sweetie…. thank you for that magnificent love making you provided this morning.  It literally knocked me out.  It was truly a wonderful experience. You really overwhelmed me.

Tina: I think I’m finally getting the hang of how to make love to you. A few more years of practice and then I’ll be perfect.

Bette:  A few more sessions like that and I’ll need to be resuscitated by medics.  I think you are far past perfect.  You are incredibly good at what you do. I wonder if I can even compete?

Tina:  Oh yeah, you are an amazing lover. No one could ever do what you do to my body…my mind and my soul.  I could not imagine making love with anyone but you.  We know each other so well… what we like and what turns us on and what gets us over the edge.  And best of all, we love each other and that just makes it better.

Bette:  Well, thank you for the attention. It really was special.  I love you T.  Sorry I was unable to say it this morning…

Tina:  I love you too Bette, more than you know.

After performing their before bed rituals, they stripped off their clothes and got in bed. They faced each other and kissed each other tenderly and pulled each other closely. Tina then leaned her head on Bette’s chest and Bette put her head on Tina’s head smelling the blonde’s hair.

Bette:  Oh wow, your hair smells good and your warm body and clean sheets. I am in heaven. Good night my love.

Tina:  I love you, Bette. Sleep well.
