Was Bette traveling too fast?

She didn’t know, but that’s how she felt.

Bette’s eyes began to close slightly and Tina smiled at seeing her so vulnerable and relaxed, so she didn’t say anything, she just moved closer to bury her face in front of Bette’s, nose to nose, exhaling the same air and continuing to caress her until Bette gave in and sank into dreams.

Tina stayed awake for a while longer, opening her eyes she could see the slightest imperfections in the brunette’s skin, it had all been so intense.

She really wanted to help Bette, remaining a good mother to Angelica.

Bette needed a push, a support to get back to her life and she was happy that Peggy had advised her to see someone, but she knew Bette by now, her demons would not go away so easily, she was stubborn and very determined, she loved control, but she had shown that Tina could take it for her and this reassured the blonde who after a while met her sleep.

The next morning Bette woke up very early, it was half past six, Tina’s alarm clock was set to ring around 8 that day, she was only going to the hospital for an urgent check-up on a patient and then she had taken the day off to be with Bette.

So the brunette slipped out of bed after watching Tina for a few minutes, retrieving her clothes from the previous evening, she got dressed and went to kiss Tina’s forehead, waking her up slightly.

”Mmmhh…where are you going?”

”home…”

”what? why?” Tina opened her eyes slightly.

”because I don’t want Angie to find me here…without us really talking about it. And today is your day off, you still have an hour of sleep, don’t waste it.”

”Bette please, baby…” Tina rose up on one elbow but Bette stopped her.

”Tee, I have to take a shower, tidy up some things around the house and I need my spazus just like you do yours, I’m not a child you have to take care of…”

”I know that, you fucked me last night and you weren’t a child at all…”

Bette laughed at that sincerity ”I have no ego problems Kennard, you don’t have to reassure me…” Bette played amused ”and anyway…” She approached Tina with her face ”we made love…I like it better this way…and I could do worse, you’ll see.. ” she smiled mischievously kissing Tina’s ear making her moan in frustration.
