”You… You look incredible” Bette said in amazement. ”So beautiful” She whispered more to herself, than to Tina.

”You look not so bad yourself” Tina replied, surveying Bette’s khaki shirt, its sleeves rolled up, the tails carelessly hanging over her black pants. The blonde felt her cheeks begin to gain some color under Bette’s rapt stare, but she was still managing to possess confidence. ”So, where are we going tonight?” She asked nonchalantly.

Not averting her eyes from the beautiful blonde, Bette deliberately opened the passenger door and, flashing a big smile, motioned for Tina to get in the car. Sneaking her mouth close to Tina’s ear, when the blonde was passing her, she murmured: ”It’s a secret..” She closed the door after Tina and swiftly went around the vehicle and jumped into the driver seat. Tina shivered with Bette’s close proximity and tried to calm down her desire to pounce on the brunette right that moment.

”Hey, I wanted to know one thing” Tina began. ”Why didn’t you just figure out my house address as you did with my university?” She asked curiously.

”I wanted to do everything in a right way this time” Bette winked and smiled at her as she started the car.

Tina kept to observe Bette from time to time as the brunette navigated the car on the road. Sometimes Bette catched Tina’s eye and they would smile at each other. Music was playing and the wind was making noise, since the roof was lowered, so the two women didn’t converse too much. Tina couldn’t wait anymore to find out Bette’s secret, so she was about to interrogate her once again, when Bette pulled up at some parking lot.

”We are gonna spend our time on the beach?” Tina asked, realizing, where they were. She wondered if Malibu was Bette’s secret.

”Do you have a problem with it?” The brunette asked back. ”And not really on the beach. Come on” Bette took Tina’s hand in hers and started to lead her away from the lot.

Their destination was the small and cozy beach cafe with an open view of the ocean from the wooden deck. There were a very few people much to Tina’s surprise, considering how wonderful the sunset was tonight. Bette showed Tina to their table and excused herself. The roof-covered cafe’s section was glassed, so Tina sat at the table and watched as Bette embraced some man and gave him a warm smile indoors. The brunette seemed sincerely happy to see the man, especially when she laughed heartily to something he said. It was such a beauty to Tina’s eyes to look at the laughing brunette. She smiled dreamily to herself.
