“Come on. We have a booth reserved for us.” Bette took Tina’s hand once again and escorted her to the corner booth.

Tina was not immune to the many stares Bette was getting as they walked to the other side of the club. Some women actually stopped dancing and just started at the brunette. Tina actually felt proud that it was she walking with Bette, that it was her hand that Bette was holding.

A waitress appeared as soon as the women sat down. “Can I get you something to drink?”

“Jack and ginger,” Bette ordered.

“I’ll have the same, thanks.” Tina told the red-head.

“Would you like to dance?” Bette asked, the music changing from fast to slow, the song "(I Love) Being In Love With You”  filling the room.

“I’d love to.” Tina felt her heartbeat quicken as Bette led her to the dance floor.

The group of women on the dance floor parted like the Red Sea. Bette led Tina to the middle of the dance floor. She placed her hands on Tina’s hips and brought her close to her. Tina draped her hands over Bette’s shoulders and clasped her hands together behind the brunette’s neck.

“This feels nice.” Tina admitted, her body swaying against Bette.

“Yeah…it does feel nice.” Bette smiled. Tina’s body pressed against hers was doing havoc to her libido.

“Come here,” Tina whispered, she cupped the back of Bette’s head and brought Bette’s face closer to hers. What was it about the brunette that she wanted to throw caution to the wind? She never wanted anyone as much as she wanted Bette. She looked at Bette’s lips. “Come here,” she whispered again before capturing Bette’s mouth with hers.

Present

The applause broke the spell that Bette and Tina were in; neither knew the song had taken them to the first time they held each other.  The two women enjoyed the concert. Kit had a mix of jazz and rhythm and blues and between songs she told amusing stories of what it’s like being on the road. And before they knew they were standing with everyone else asking for an encore. Kit had complied with two encores and soon Mike was by their side ready to escort them to Kit.

“Gosh, Kit…you were so good.”

“Thanks Tina. I’m glad you liked it.” Kit replied.

“I forget what it’s like seeing you on stage. You were amazing.” Bette informed her older sister.

“Do you want to come up to my suite?” Kit looked at her watch. “It’s pretty late. Why don’t you spend the night? I have a two bedroom suite.”
