Life with Bette was great for Tina. Leastwise at first. Bette always tried to spend as much time as possible with her girlfriend. The couple was insatiable, whether it came to sex or just acting silly with each other. The harmony was almost in every aspect of their life together. Tina was successful in bringing out good things in Bette, she was always quick to soften Bette’s harsh temper, because watching the brunette tell some stranger or social worker off occasionally was quite embarassing. Tina loved Bette being so assertive, it was even hot at times, but the brunette did have a really sharp tongue. Tina also was doing good making Bette quit smoking. No matter how tolerant she was on their first days of dating, Tina never actually had a liking for this kind of habit. Bette agreed to break it, but only on the condition that she would be able to smoke a cigarette when having a drink, adding that she had a stressful job, which was ’a fucking hell’, and that she needed to relax sometimes.

Tina did her best to come to good terms with Bette working very late and jumping in for going somewhere whenever she received one of those ”very urgent calls” as the brunette preferred to explain.

It was one good day when Bette came home very early and in a very cheerful mood. The mood didn’t last long though as the brunette introduced Tina to one of her bitter, very bitter sides. Her jealousy.

”Baby, I’m hooome!” Bette drawled loudly as she swang the door open.

”I’m here!”

Bette hurled her keys on the stand, then took her black leather coat off briskly and tossed it on the near chair. She spotted Tina sitting on the sofa in front of the TV-set. The brunette rushed to her and when reaching the sofa she hopped over the back of it and landed right beside Tina, making her jump slightly.

”Whoa!” The blonde exclaimed. ”Easy, tiger!” She added with a smile and returned her gaze to the book she was reading.

Bette made a discontented face. ”Hey, who’s gonna kiss me?”

Tina lifted her head and looked at her girlfriend again. ”I think it will be me” She said with a coquettish smile and bent forward, taking Bette’s cheek into her palm and kissing her lovingly.
