“Ummm, were you really looking for someone to rent a room to?”

Bette lets out a breath, looking out at sea. She knew this would have to come up at some point. “I think you probably know the answer to that T”

“I need to come clean too.” Tina looks up, a little embarrassed. “After meeting you, I never… I never went to view anymore rooms”

Bette just laughs, “It seems we’re both as bad as each other huh?”

“Oh come on, you’re much worse!” Tina teases.

“May I say, when I offered the room, all I saw was a girl in need of a little helping hand. I couldn’t get the vision of what could have happened to you that night out of my head. I had no ulterior motives”. Bette says honestly.

“I believe you. Thank you. Just imagine if you hadn’t been there that night.” Tina looks down, shuddering slightly.

“Baby, please don’t think about that. Just please promise me that you will never but yourself in that kind if a position again?” Bette asks almost losing her composure.

“I promise. You promise too?” Tina asks.

“I promise”

The pair spent the rest of the day continuing to get to know each other. They knew at some point they would have to catch up with friends and return to the outside world, but for the rest of the weekend they just wanted it to be about them.

That night they cook a little snack and huddle up on the sofa to watch a DVD. Tina is first to the sofa, as Bette approaches she pulls open the blanket, letting the brunette climb in between her legs, and lay her head on her chest. Tina lowers down the blanket, wrapping the brunette in her warmth. She smiles, loving it when Bette goes into her cute baby mode. She puts her arm around the brunette, resting her hand on her head. “You are such a big baby” Tina says leaning down and kissing her girl on the head.

Bette just pouts.

“Awww” Tina smiles, hugging her tighter as they begin to watch the film.

The next morning Bette wakes first, looking across at the pure blonde sleeping beside her. She couldn’t believe her luck, and just lay there grinning, thinking over how much her life had changed in the last 3 weeks.
