She knew Tina understood. She knew that Tina realized that Bette had just said she was in love with her. Bette knew this because right after she finished talking Tina took Bettes hand and kissed each finger softly. And putting her arms around Bettes neck she kissed her deeply. Bette felt her loves arms and tasted her mouth, savoring every touch her lips made every breath Bette caught. Coming for air Tina resting her head on Bettes shoulder. The incomplete uncooked dinner was now completely forgotten. Bette played with the gold hair she came to adore so much. With Tinas body rest beside hers Bette cleared her throatthis was a good time to ask, it was perfectshe hoped so. Tinaummmwe have been seeing each other for more than a month nowand its beenwonderful, absolutely mind-blowing…you now how I feel about youkissing you is…wow…andIm not trying to pressure you or anything but whenwhen you feel readymaybe we can.. togethergo a littlea little further. Bette cringed inside; she was stuttering againshe must have sounded like such a fool. Even though it had been heaven for Bette, her relationship with Tina was a little like intimate friends. They kissed, and however passionate it was, they did not go further. Though sometimes their hands felt each other up in the heat of the moment. Bette thought that this moment would be perfect for them to consummate their relationship. Her stomach started to flutter again and swim with the waiting, waiting for her Tina to respond. She did eventuallythe air was cool but their bodies felt hotand Tina touched Bettes cheek, making her temperature rise even more. Nothing was said; when Bette opened her mouth again Tina pressed her finger against it silencing her. Getting up Tina took a hold of Bettes hand and together they entered the bedroom. Once in they stopped and turned to face each other. Tina tried to calm her beating heart. She was sure that Bette could hear it. Meanwhile Bette thought she had died and gone to heaven. Awkwardly Bette took a step to Tina who stood waiting. Her hand faltered then using all her strength Bette stroked Tinas arm. It was shivering, but as she touched it stopped and Tina breathed out slowly. Coming closer together they kissed and all the nervousness and hesitation fell apart fell away until all that was left was the passion between them. Forever it seemed they kissed, until Bette took off Tinas shirt. She licked her neck and with her mouth left bright hickies all over her shoulders and collarbone. Tina was gasping as she half-sat half-fell on the bed. Helping her Bette took off Tinas jeans and then got into bed. Bette was still standing, leaning down she kissed Tinas cheekshe was lying under the covers looking up. Sure but her heart still beating fast and furiously.
