After a minute, he stepped back, as Bette and Tina simultaneously loosened their arms around him.  His eyes took on a naughty glint again, “And that’s why I was calling Bette here “sis in…ooafff” he coughed, cutting off the rest of his sentence, as Bette gave him a playful punch in the gut.

“Logan, will you stop with that already?!,” she demanded in mock-indignation.

“Stop what?,” Tina asked innocently, looking again from one to the other.  Boy, these two.  They are a handful.

“That Bette should…”Logan started as Bette said simultaneously, “Logan please, I will…”

“Ask!” they said simultaneously, again.  As before, they looked at each other, and shared a knowing look, before they collapsed into giggles.

Bette was catching her breath, “Just give me time, alright?”  As she held Logan’s arm lightly, while re-clasping Tina’s hand in hers, as Tina subconsciously stepped closer.

“Ask what, baby,?” Tina inquired of Bette, head cocked to one side, hazel eyes smiling.   Her eyes dipped from Bette’s warm brown eyes to the brunette’s pillow soft lips, which were also curved into a smile as they faced each other.  She tiptoed slightly to kiss Bette.  Haven’t kissed her since this morning, she thought.  But that morning kiss, though…

Bette’s lips parted easily under Tina’s pressure.  She was returning Tina’s deepening kiss, as she heard Logan clear his throat.  She drew reluctantly away, although Tina’s lips stayed where they were, eyes still shut.  After a second, the blonde dropped her head softly on Bette’s chest.

Logan regarded them with a teasing but tender look in his eye.

“How much more time will you need?  Maybe you need help with…” Logan began.

“I think I got this, Logan,” Bette said firmly, but smiling warmly at him.  She shook her head at him, as she and Tina circled arms around each other.

Tina’s voice was muffled as she spoke into Bette’s chest, “Will someone please tell me what’s going on?”

“Bette’s got this, Tina,” Logan said, then kissed the back of Tina’s head affectionately.   He stepped to the right then bent to kiss Bette’s cheek also.

“Okay you two lovebirds. I think my work here is done, “ he declared as he winked at Bette.  The brunette shook her head again at him, “I will take myself out of here, and will call you later!”
