“Baby, James called while you were asleep and said that he forgot to tell you yesterday that you need an update on your shots…. so I thought we could go today?”

“Do we have to do it today T, I just want to stay in bed and cuddle up?”

“The sooner the better don’t you think?”

“Ok baby but if I remember correctly I think I owe you something don’t I?” Bette said huskily

“That you do Miss Porter but first you have to promise me that we’re going to go the doctor?”

“Mmmm, ok I promise” Bette said just before she leaned in and captured Tina’s lips with her own

At Shane’s Place:-

Tori was laying awake and thinking about last night, it was the most fun she had had since the last time she went out with Tina and that was when Tina left Zim to go the UK. At this moment in time she was happy, she didn’t have the urge to move which had dominated most of her life. She was content to just lie there and enjoy the moment.

Shane woke up to the realization that she was wrapped in a womans arms and her head was on their shoulder, but the strange thing was that she didn’t want to run…. in fact she didn’t want to move for fear that this was a fragile dream that would crumble with the slightest sound.

Tori unconciously kissed the head that was resting on her shoulder and began to stroke their hair, this moment felt so right yet so fragile.

Shane was remembering the events of the night before as she felt a gentle hand stroking her hair. After Tina and Bette left the rest of the gang hit the dance floor but one by one they dropped off, first Al then Shane, then Dana. It seemed as though no one could keep up with Tori, not even the super fit tennis player. Shane thought Tori was a force of nature, she seemed to have endless energy and was almost like a magnate, all eyes were on her as she danced. And then Shane remembered the ride home, Tori had told her all about Zim and her life on the cruise ship and Shane hung on every word. But the most suprising thing was what happned once they got to Shane’s. Tori had asked to stay with her, she rightly figured that Tina and Bette needed their privacy…. although what she didn’t know was that they were at Bette’s.

Last night was a first for both women, it was the first time Tori had ever been attracted to another woman and it was the first time that Shane had wanted more out of a woman than just *****. Once they had gotten through the door neither woman knew what to do and so they nervously made their way to the bedroom. Once on the bed though, neither wanted anything more than to be held…. this was completely new to Shane but at that moment it was something she wanted more than she could have thought possilble.

Both women were thinking the same thing and breathed a contented sigh. There were no expectations or insecurities, it just felt right to both of them.

“Shane, you awake?” Tori whispered

“Ya”

“Can we stay like this for a while…. I know it’s not what you usually do but… well, would you mind?”

“Actually…. well…. Tori, you see the thing is” Shane felt Tori tense up, she was obviously getting the wrong idea and Shane silently cursed herself for not being more articulate

“What I meant to say was I was thinking the same thing”

At that moment both women smiled as they unconciously tightned their grip in each other. Neither knowing what the next step was or where this would go, but knowing that they were right where they were meant to be at that moment in time.
