"You’re watching me sleep again"

Tina blinked at the mumbled sound of her girlfriend’s voice before smiling softly at the woman who had yet to move from her position on the bed.

"No I’m not"

"Liar" Came Bette’s mumbled reply followed by a deep breath in and then a deep one out. She had still yet to open her eyes, "Come back to bed. I miss you"

And just like that, Tina obeyed. She made her way over to her side of the bed, her smile widening when Bette instantly raised her arm from the mattress so that she could lie down.

Tina slid into bed facing Bette and was instantly pulled into her girlfriend’s warm frame. She let out a sigh of content when Bette threw a leg over her waist, smiling as she snuggled closer.

"Mm . . you smell good" Bette moaned softly as she nuzzled into the pillow, the curly strands still covering her eyes.

Tina smiled as she reached up to tuck them behind Bette’s ear, taking the time to admire her girlfriend’s features as her finger slowly traced along Bette’s jawline.

Tina’s eyes made their way to Bette’s lips, lips that were still swollen and red from Tina’s earlier kisses. She smiled at the memory as she ran her thumb over them, recalling the way she so hungrily sucked Bette’s bottom lip into her mouth . . and the aggressive response she got in return.

If Tina had to be honest, she hated fighting with Bette but loved the sex that followed. It was incredible, earth shattering, completely mind blowing.

Despite it all, Tina was happy that she finally found someone who wanted to fight with her and fix the problems in their relationship. Someone willing to reach that point with her, the sex after a fight. Before Bette, no one had bothered before. All of them had deemed it too much work and left after the first outspoken word.

"I love you" Tina said softly, her hand resting gently on Bette’s soft cheek.

She watched as a smile spread across Bette’s face, her eyes still closed. "I know"
