The younger blonde just shakes her head, smiling.

“Tina, we need to talk” Bette says more seriously. Sensing Bette’s tone Tina releases her, letting her legs drop on to the sofa. The brunette moves back against the other end and crosses her legs. Tina also sits up and does the same at the other end.

“Shoot” the blonde says.

“I think we need to take a step back” The brunette says.

The blondes face drops.

“Hear me out. We obviously have a connection T, I felt it pretty much from the moment we met”

“Me too” the blonde responds, her smile returning.

“You did?” Bette grins.

Tina nods back smiling.

“You deserve more than this” the brunette says feeling bad about moving so fast already.

“More than what, hot kisses?” Tina asks confused.

“I think what we were doing just now was a bit more than that Tina”

Tina blows some air out. “So what do you propose?”

“No more kissing, or grinding or anything, until we go out on some proper civilized dates.”

“Seriously? No way!” Tina says instantly in a bad mood.

“I mean it. I want to treat how you should be treated”

“I’m not a princess Bette” Tina says, wondering how she is going to go hours, let alone days without kissing Bette again.

“Please just humor me” Bette says trying to reason.

Tina looks at Bette knowing the brunette is going to get her own way. “OK, but how many dates are we talking about?”

“I guess that depends on our chemistry, three maybe?” Bette says glad that Tina is coming round.

“OK, do breakfast, lunch and dinner count?” Tina asks raising an eyebrow.

“No T” Bette responds. “So we have a deal?”

Tina ponders for a moment. “I have one clause.”

‘Oh god’ Bette thinks. “Yes darling, and that would be?”

“You can’t order me around either, not until you put out again” Tina states firmly.

“Excuse me?” Bette says a little shocked, loving the girl’s spirit.

“No more kneeling at your feet, feeding you like a baby, or any other little random tasks you’ll have me do” Tina says, knowing Bette wouldn’t agree to that.

“Deal” Bette says standing up.

“What?” Tina says scrunching her face.

“I said deal. Our first date will be tonight if you are free for dinner?” Bette looks to the blonde still sitting down.

“I suppose.” Tina says a bit miffed.

“Oh well thank you for the enthusiasm Tina” Bette says smiling as she walks off to shower.

Tina lies back against the sofa. ‘This is not good, not good at all’ she thinks as the memories of Bette’s warm mouth floods her mind. An evil grin spreads across her face, ‘OK Bette, if you think you can hold out for three dates you have got another thing coming’. The blonde then looks around the room, ‘No more, miss tidy, and quiet, and obedient, let’s see how well you cope with not telling me what to do!’.

The brunette climbs in to the shower thinking of which restaurant would suit their first date. Little did she know the plans the sneaky blonde in the other room was concocting…
