Handing the car keys to the valet, Bette walked towards the table. Her pace was firm, secure and very sensual, like a feline looking for its dinner. Seeing the smile on the woman waiting for her, made Bette’s heart jump, hurting a little. For a brief second she had to stop herself to sigh, unable to go on, noticing every muscle in her body aching but seeing the open and sincere smile plastered on the womans face, she sensually shook the head and with a smile growing on her face walked to meet Barbara.

Senator” Bette said, the tone of her voice almost a whisper, her eyes, glued to the Senator’s.

Barbara” answered the senator shaking Bette’s hand.

Sitting at the table, Bette smiled, for a moment not knowing what to say.

I’m glad you agree to see me again “The Senator said, her words barely covering what the look in her eyes were trying not to say.

Sure, I am glad you call” Bette answered, taking the napkin and placing it on her lap.

“You ok? “Asked the Senator, noticing the look in Bette’s eyes, the light purple shadows under them.

Looking up, Bette smiled, forcing herself and she was feeling Barbara’s concern all over her body.

“Yeahjust a bad day” she added, waving at the waiter.

Nodding, the Senator studied Bettes features for a few long minutes before saying.

I have some news”

Really?” asked Bette, leaning forward, locking her eyes with Barbara’s.

Biting her lower lip lightly for a few long seconds, the Senator gulped before saying, her voice almost a whisper.

You knowI still can’t believe you said no to my offer”

 Looking at the Senator in silence, Bette felt the air around them getting thicker and after a couple of long steamy minutes she slowly leaned closer.

” I can’t believe you gave up on me so easily” she whispered, caressing the china plate placed in front of the Senator.

Holding Bette’s look, Barbara studied her for a couple of minutes before saying, her voice firm, secure, mandatory.

Waiter!”

As in a movie, in a slow motion full of content energy, they left the restaurant in silence. Noticing Bette looking for the valet, Barbara said, almost a whisper.
