11:25am

Before Bette could slip her key into place the front door swung open and a frowning Tina greeted her.

“What are you doing back so early?”

Bette studied her, wondering if she should maybe point out this was her house and that she could come and go as she pleased. She had every right to be there but what was Tina still doing there? It was her who should explain herself.

“Never mind come in” Tina stepped aside, kindly allowing Bette to enter her own house. “I know I’m breaking the rules –“

“Breaking the rules again. You’re breaking them again.” Bette corrected.

A little crease formed between Tina’s brows and Bette sighed. Tina was a beautiful woman and Bette found her so all the time but she was most enchanted by her when she was annoyed and frustrated. And right now she was both.

It didn’t matter to her that Tina had broken another rule because it was Tina who had established these crazy rules in the first place. And so what if she broke a few of her own rules, they were hers to break. Did it even count if you broke one of your own rules? Bette wondered. She didn’t think so but Tina sure as hell did. She was struggling with these rules of hers and it seemed the harder she tried the more frequently she succumbed. Bette found the whole thing endearing. She wanted Tina to fail and Tina was slowly but surely losing this battle she had initiated. She doubted Tina even remembered why she was fighting so hard to distance herself and keep this casual fling of theirs from developing into something real and deep.

“I know I’m breaking the rules again by being here but its mother’s day.”

“What does that have to do with you breaking the rules?” Bette asked, eager to hear what Tina came up with. When she didn’t get an immediate response she turned back and gasped.

“I don’t think we should break any more of our rules do you?”

Bette opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. What could she say? Tina was.., Tina was gorgeous and irresistible, especially when she was trying her hand at seduction.

Here she was in Bette’s house. Walking down Bette’s hallway. Wearing, no scratch that, slipping off Bette’s sweat pants. Pulling off Bette’s tee shirt and pushing Bette back against her wall. How could Bette resist her, how could she deny her, deny their rules when Tina was dominating her every sense? Yes this was all a little too sudden – Yes it was intensely overwhelming – Yes it was all part of Tina’s strategy but who the fuck cared. Tina’s very naked glorious body was pressed against her, her hands were tugging at her shirt in search for skin and her month, her talented inspiring delightful mouth, was crushing Bette’s in a kiss that had every part of her floating. “I don’t.. think we should break any more” Bette said, her voice strained and breathless at the same time.
