"Fuck…" She whispered, dipping her head in frustration and annoyance.

The officer sauntered up to Bette’s blue Saab, hands definsively perched of his hips.  He stood next to the window for a moment, looking the car up and down before knocking his index nuckle on the driver’s side window.

Bette quickly straightened her shirt and fluffed her hair.  She rolled down the window, her smile blindingly bright.

"Is there a problem officer…" Bette used her sweetest voice to implore the reason for his rude interruption.

"Well…." The officer bent his torso down, now peering inside the vehicle.  "That’s what I wanted to ask you ma’am…are you aware that you are parked diagonally on the shoulder of a busy intersection?"

Bette blushed, knowing that her parking skills were completely abadoned as she tore the car off the road to take Tina…still, so worth it.

"I apologize officer….I, I just pulled over quickly because I lost my, uh, my earring…" Bette continued to lay the sweetness on thick as she concocted a not so false story.   Tina stiffled a giggle, amused with the brunette’s choice in story. 

Bette looked over at Tina knowingly, quickly winking at her.  The gesture sent waves of adoration down the blonde’s spine. 

"I’m gonna have to ask that you move on…and please find a better place to locate that earring…" the officer began, retisent to allow the ladies to proceed with their interactions elsewhere.

"Oh, that won’t be necessary officer.  I’ve already found it." Bette inconspicuously rubbed her hand on Tina’s outer thigh, causing Tina to tense briefly.  She wasn’t sure they should be so forward with each other in front of the officer. 

"Thank you for understanding officer." Bette turned and smiled at the officer as she turned her key to start the ignition.

"Alright.  Have a good night…and ladies?" The officer began, a barely detectable smirk on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes officer?" Tina and Bette questioned at the same time.

"There’s a hotel about a mile back.  You know.  Just in case you didn’t know."  The officer patted the hood and turned to begin his walk back to his patrol car, his head shaking lightly.

"Oh my god…do you think he saw us…" Tina asked,  her hand covering her open mouth.

The women only looked at each other for a second before they both broke into stiches of laughter. 

"I am completely back in high school all of a sudden…getting busted for making out in a car…" Bette shook her head in amusement as the comedy of the situation occured to her.

"I know…we were so busted…" Tina’s laugh was so adorable that Bette just wanted to connect her lips to the blonde again, resume what they had started.  But she shook her head as she realized that this was not the time…and definately not the place…

"Maybe that’s our sign to take a breather…" Bette offered.

"Yeah, maybe…I am pretty hungry…should we go to the restaurant?" Tina straightened herself in the seat, reaching back for her seatbelt.

"Sure…" Bette released a heavy breath of air, as she thrust the gear into drive. 

The women rode in silence for a moment, soaking in the experience they had just encontered.

"Bette?"  Tina began lightly.

"Yes, Tina?" Bette inched her head closer to Tina, keeping her eyes focused on the road ahead.

"I’m glad that happened…" the blonde began, looking down at her knees.

"You are?  Which part?" Bette questioned, eager to learn what was on the blonde’s mind.

"Well, all of it actually…" Tina blushed, smiling up at the brunette.  "But I’m glad we got interrupted…"

Bette looked at Tina, her eyes soft with tenderness.

"Me too…I could never live with myself if our first…" Bette cut herself off immediately, returning her gaze to the road. 

"Our first what?" The blonde pressed, her tone borderline teasing.

Bette looked at Tina, arching her eyebrown dramatically.  Her non verbal respose suggested Tina knew exactly where their session would have led to…

"Anyway…we have all night…" Tina reasoned, her hand gently covering the brunette’s. 

Bette’s exhale was long as her heart pumped rich with the touch of the blonde’s hand upon hers.  She turned her hand, slipping her fingers through Tina’s.  The comfort she found there almost made her want to cry out.  The women squeezed their hands together lightly before relaxing their hands into one another’s.

Yes…indeed we do…
