“I can’t go I’ve got work and how will you get home anyway?”

“Girl, didn’t you hear me say executive decisions. Now I’m ordering you to take my car and spend the weekend with your woman. Shane’s coming to pick me up and I’m staying with her for the weekend so feel free to use my house at your discretion. I want you to spend as much time holding her as you can. So consider this a going away present.” Bette began to feel the tears forming when Carmen grabbed her, hugged her and whispered in her ear ” I love you cuz. I just want you to be happy.”

Carmen laughingly pushed Bette away saying in a heavy southern accent “Gone now get that woman of yours.” With that being said Bette was off and running, she wasted no time getting on the road.

Driving home Bette noticed a small little flower shop she would stop at every now and again to get Tina some flowers. But today was special so she decided instead of the usual three rose package, she opted for some white lilies instead. She remembered hearing Tina say how much lilies really lit up a room. For a special touch she added 2 gardenias in the center to commemorate the first song that Bette ever sang for Tina. Bette entered the house very wide eyed and expecting to surprise Tina with her presence and the flowers. She searched around but couldn’t find Tina until she peaked out on the sun porch and saw her, Tina. She was slowly rocking in the porch swing to her music with her headphones on and her eyes closed. She couldn’t help but to be in awe of the way Tina looked so at peace. She took notice of her shorts, her tank top barely covering her beautiful full breast and right down to the toe ring she was wearing that Bette bought her on their day out with Shane and Carmen. God she was breathtaking. Bette saw this as opportunity to save the surprise.

She walked over to her slowly and softly. Removed one of the lilies and trailed down the top of her forehead , down her nose taking in the scent and around her full beautiful lips before replacing the lily with her own sweet lips. All the while Tina never opened her eyes to see Bette standing there. She knew she was there before she approached her. Somehow the connection between the two was stronger when the sense other than sight took hold of each other.
