It wasn’t until Shane happened upon them on her way out of
The Planet with her chickie for the evening that they acknowledged the outside
world. To them all that existed was each other and the life they created now
growing within Tina.

Shane: Hey you two I thought you left over an hour ago.

Neither dared to break the embrace.

Bette: We had some unfinished business to handle.

Shane: I can see that. Uh, I guess I’ll let you get back to
handling

Shane, with chickie in tow, gives Bette & Tina one of
her famous waves as she walks off which goes unnoticed because the two of them
had yet to take her eyes off of the other.

Shane: (mumbling as she walks off) hmmm finally things are
getting back to normal around here.

Bette is the first to break the comfortable silence that
has transpired between she and Tina.

Bette: So I believe you said something about taking me
home.

Tina pulls back slightly but still maintains contact with
Bette.

Tina: I believe that I did. Are you ready to go or do you
have something else up your sleeve wait you don’t have any sleeves on that
dress.

Tina raised an eyebrow and let her eyes wander the length
of Bette’s glorious body. It never ceased to amaze Tina how flawless and
incredibly truly attractive Bette was. It had been the initial attraction
between them, but once Tina became more acquainted with Bette, she became
completely enthralled by Bette’s intellect and passion as well.

Bette: Why Ms. Kennard are you flirting with me?

Tina: (enjoying the friendly banter) Yes, Ms. Porter, I
believe I am.

Bette: Hmmmm my, my what would your girlfriend say to
that?

Tina: Well, I’m not sure. I guess we’ll have to go home and
ask her.

Bette: (feigning shock) Well If you were my girlfriend,
I’m not sure I’d like it if you were flirting with someone else. In fact, I
might be a tad jealous and protective.

Tina: (giving Bette quite a smoldering gaze) Well then, for
both of our sakes, let’s hope that MY girlfriend is a little more understanding
and realizes that I only have feelings for one person and that’s her.

Bette: Hmmmm I’m sure she could say the same about you.
I’m sure that she truly appreciates your grace and beauty and would love to
show you just how much.

Now it was Tina’s turn to feign shock and disbelief.

Tina: Now who’s flirting with whom?
