Bette: “What’s wrong baby?” She asked breathlessly.

Tina: “I cant just yet, B. I’m sorry.” She whispered an apology.

Bette: “Don’t be baby, I understand. I just lost control.” She fixed Tina’s shirt before laying her head on the still rapidly rising chest and listened to her heart beat return to normal.

Tina: “Its okay so did I. What time is it?” She asked as she casually stroked Bette’s hair.

Bette: “Time to start getting ready.” She said without looking at the clock. “Are you sure that you don’t want to stay in tonight?” She questioned with mischief in her voice.

Tina: “As much as I’m tempted I would rather take you out for dinner and some dancing.”

Bette: “Well if you insist.” She joked as she sat up and climbed from the bed.

Bette: “I’m going to take a shower, would you care to join me?” She threw a sexy smile towards Tina.

Tina: “Mmmm, as tempting as that is I’ll have to decline. I’ll take one after you.” She said to Bette as she walked into the bathroom. God knows I need a cold shower after what Bette just did to me.

While Bette was in the shower Tina phoned a friend at the hospital to find out if John had survived the night. Her friend told her that he had survived and that he surprisingly woke up shortly after lunch. It appeared that he would make a full recovery but wouldn’t leave the hospital for some time. Tina was relieved that they had helped him and that he was alive.

They had both dressed casually but sexy to ensure comfort during dancing. They got in Bette’s car and left for a cozy little Italian restaurant. The room was dimly lit which gave an intimate fill to the couples that were dinning; and they shared a plate of lasagna.

Tina: “Oh I called the hospital while you were in the shower to find out about John, our car wreck victim. They said that he’ll be okay.” She happily told Bette.

Bette: “That’s great to hear T. I told you that you did everything you could.” She smiled across at Tina.

Tina: “I was just worried that’s all.”

Bette: “Yeah, I know that’s why I care for you so much and what amazes me about you, it’s that you genuinely care.” She suddenly got serious. “In fact I really care for you T. More than I’ve ever cared for anyone before.”

Tina: “Is that so?” Her heart skipped a beat at hearing those words.

Bette: “Yeah that is so. In fact I was hoping that we could make our relationship more official.” She reached across the table to take Tina’s hand and looked into her eyes.

Tina: “Are you saying you want to be my girlfriend?” She asked with hope in her voice and heart.

Bette: “Yeah I am. Would you be my girlfriend?” She asked just so Tina would be sure.

Tina: “I would love too.” She leaned so that she could place a loving kiss on Bette’s lips.

Bette: “Man that sounded so teenager of me.” She said when they pulled away.

Tina: “Yeah but that’s okay because now you’re my girlfriend. And I couldn’t be anymore happy.” She stated before she placed her lips back on Bette’s.

They happily talked about everything as they finished their dinner. Both women were extremely happy after their exchange at the restaurant. Bette settled the bill before they left for The Planet, both knowing that with alcohol in their systems and the way things escalated after their nap earlier it could turn out to be a very interesting night.
