“I saw it was V cut in front…and that the dress was a mini,” Bette responded confusedly, in between Tina’s kisses.

“Bette, the lighting designer who did your …,” Sarah was saying as she rounded the corner to the wine cabinet where Bette and Tina were standing.  “Ohh…sorry!,” she apologized as she saw Tina about to kiss Bette again.

“No problem, Sarah,” the blonde mumbled as she went for Bette’s neck instead.

Bette smiled in Sarah’s direction, eyebrows arched in a question.

“…Chandelier in the entrance just rang the doorbell downstairs.  Should I?…,” Sarah continued, laughing slightly.

Bette nodded, as she gently cupped Tina’s face to give her a quick, hot kiss.

“T…”

“Well you started it earlier…talking about sneaking away from everyone, to go up to our bedroom,” Tina murmured huskily, as she returned Bette’s quick one with a hot kiss of her own.

“TPK…should we start moving people up to the terrace so that…,” Alice was saying as she, Dana, and
Shane walked up, holding their heads in various states of panic.  She paused, eyeing Bette and Tina.

“Are you making out?”

Bette chuckled as Tina dropped her forehead on Bette’s chest, “Just grabbing a moment,” the brunette sighed.

Shane and Dana were grinning from ear to ear as Alice looked askance at Bette and Tina.  “How can
you….,”Alice started to protest.

“Oh…leave them alone, Al,” Shane exclaimed, pulling Alice into a side hug, as she raised her eyebrows at Bette, still grinning.   Aahhh, Bette and Tina. Still going strong…

“How many people did you girls invite anyway?,” Dana asked after a few seconds as she turned to look out at the still-growing crowd.  “This place looks like Grand Central at rush hour…”

Tina raised her head and turned to face their friends, resigned to the fact that she and Bette would have to just forget about the rising heat between them.  At least for now.  She leaned back against her wife, who automatically encircled her arms around the blonde’s waist.  “Well, as you know we were planning to only have you girls, and then we asked Kit to invite Jacques…”

“But a day after we returned from the Maldives, I ran into Sarah, who said she didn’t have any plans today, so I invited her…,” Bette picked up from Tina. “Then I invited Logan, who said he was also going to be alone today.”
