Bette
tried to pull back slightly to speak, but Tina’s hand on the back of her head
kept her from doing so.

Bette:
Mmmph T (Kiss) Tina (Kiss) I think we mmm (Kiss) we should move the
(Kiss) car.

Tina:
In a minute babe.

Bette:
T, I promise that I’ll make it worth your time if we can just get over to the
beach (Smiling even broader).

Tina:
Fine (Slightly deflated). Just remember that it was you who wanted to stop this
time (Wink).

Bette:
Yeah, yeah I know. I’m sure at some point it’ll come back and bite me in the
*****.

Tina:
Well (With a wicked grin) If that’s how you want to play

Bette:
(Raising an eyebrow) There you go again, Ms. Kennard, flirting with me again.

Tina:
I only flirt with you Ms. Porter only you, babe.

Once
Bette & Tina arrived at their coastal destination and parked the Saab in an
overnight parking area, Bette placed her hand on Tina’s arm to stop her from
exiting the car. Tina gave Bette an inquisitive looked and wondered what Bette
was up to.

Bette:
T, wait right there. Don’t move.

Bette
leaned over towards the keys and depressed the trunk release on the keyless
entry system. Tina watched intently as Bette scrambled out of the car and then
to the rear of the Saab where she began rifling through its contents. Tina
could hear the occasional “*****” or “damn” that would cause Tina to smile and
chuckle. Bette was being too cute and unintentionally funny. Finally, Bette
appeared next to Tina’s window and tapped it lightly. Tina opened her door but
did not get out of the car.

Bette:
Ms. Kennard would you care to join me for – what’s left of it – a moonlit walk
on the beach, “stimulating” conversation, and subsequent viewing of the
sunrise?

Tina:
It would be my pleasure to join you Ms. Porter.

Bette:
Believe me T, any time spent with you is completely my pleasure.

Tina:
After that ride over here, I’m sure that I can find some way to make it even
more pleasurable for you (wicked grin wink).

Bette
blushed slightly and feigned embarrassment.

Bette:
My – my – Ms. Kennard. How you do flatter me.

Bette
extended her arm in an offertory manner to Tina while gazing intently at the
emerging beauty before her. Tina had awakened so many feelings in Bette that
she never believed existed let alone within Bette. Bette had always enjoyed her
life and never thought anything was missing from it. That all changed the
second she met Tina. Bette knew that what she was missing was companionship,
friendship, ecstasy love. She felt in an instant, the first time she and Tina
kissed in Bette’s gallery, that she could have all of that with Tina.
