The warm sun peered through the paned windows of the cottage as it rose out of the eastern horizon.  Tina smiled and kissed Bette’s forehead before gazing dreamily out at the sunrise.  The skies were a beautiful shade of orange, with hints of a yellowish green before it gave way to the still darkened skies of Hawaii.  Her mind drifted back to the beautiful night of love making that she and Bette had shared next to the bon fire last night, and a huge smile spread across her face.

“What are you smiling at beautiful?”

“I’m sorry did I wake you?”

“It’s ok…you can wake me up any time.  So what were you smiling at?”

“Just thinking back to last night.”

“Mmmmmmm…yeah last night.”

“Can’t do that back in LA can we?”

As Bette finished up with her shower, Tina called room service to have a light brunch spread delivered for the pair before they headed out.  As she hung up the phone, she heard Bette shut off the shower and headed off to get in there herself.  As she walked past Bette, Tina playfully cocked her eyebrow as she dropped her robe.  As she continued past Bette, Tina playfully ran her slender fingers across Bette’s still wet chest…
