The ride home was pretty silent but nothing awkward. Both women were comfortable enough that no words were necessary.

Bette was relieved to have spoken to Tina. She knew there was more to say but another day. Right now she just wanted to end the evening as perfect as possible.

As Bette pulled up to Tina’s apartment, the blonde’s heart began to race. Seems like it was doing that a lot lately.

"I’ll walk you to your door"

Tina looked at Bette and smiled as she released her seat belt. Tina watched as Bette got out of her side and ran around the car so she decided to remain seated. Bette opened Tina’s car door and held out her hand for Tina to take. Smiling the blonde took Bette’s hand and decided to tease her a bit.

"Wow, such a lady"

As they walked to the door, Bette smiled and her cheeks turned a shade of pink. Tina looked at her and gasped playfully.

"Don’t tell me I managed to make Bette Porter blush. Add that together with making her want to change and I say I’m full of all kinds of awesome"

Bette laughed, "And they say I’m the cocky one"

Tina smiled and playfully leaned against Bette as she intertwined their fingers. At the front door, Tina turned to face Bette. She couldn’t help but sigh at how beautiful she was.

"Tonight was amazing, Bette. I really had a nice time. Thank you so much"

Bette smiled that heart stopping smile, "It was my pleasure"

Both women smiled at each other but neither moved. Bette decided to take a step closer as her breathing picked up. Tina shyly looked down and played with a button on Bette’s jacket.

"So does this mean my payment is complete?"

Bette smiled, "If I say yes, will I see you again?"

Tina looked up and smiled as she playfully shook her head. Bette chuckled huskily and leaned in to softly press her lips against Tina’s. The kiss lasted only a few seconds but when Bette pulled back, both women let out a gasp of air. Bette leaned in, kissing Tina again. This time however, she lingered and lightly flicked her tongue against Tina’s lips.
