chapter 15


Tina had left the Bette Porter Gallery and began driving home. Something stopped her. She spun her car around and headed back. Meanwhile…
Bette had sat down at her desk trying to figure out what had just happened. She knew she liked Tina from the moment she saw her. But Tina wasnt like the rest. Bette was notorious for loving them and leaving them, but with Tina she felt a connection. She wanted to her to stay. She wanted to know Tina better. Bette sighed and began to collect her things. It had been a long day and she needed to get home. She walked through the gallery and shut off all the lights. Taking one last look at her successful evening she walked outside and began locking up.

Tina: Bette.

Tina was standing right behind her. Bette was almost scared to death. She was unaware anyone was out there in the dark. She smiled at the sound of Tinas voice.

Bette: Did you forget something else?

Tina: Yes I did. ( Tina was shaking she was so nervous.)

Bette: Well….

Tina: I forgot, umm, I…Jesus why is this so hard….what am I doing?

Bette: Im sorry? ( Bette was obviously confused).

Tina: ***** it…

Tina pushed Bette up aganist the glass door at the gallery. She kissed Bette with so much force and so much passion that Bette nearly fell over. She spun Tina around so now she was in control ( just how she liked it). She moved her lips down Tinas neck letting her tongue softly taste Tinas skin.

Tina: Oh god Bette. I dont know what Im doing.

Bette looked up and smiled devilishly.

Bette: I do.

Bette let her hands roam over Tinas thighs. Tina continued to moan with every touch.

Bette abruptly pulled away.

Bette: Do you want to get out of here?

Tina: Yeah, I think I do. Your place?

Bette: Ill drive.

Bette grabbed Tinas hand and led her toward her car. Tina stopped.

Tina: Maybe I should follow you. I mean, in case I need my car.

Bette: I can just drive you back to your car.

Bette was intent on getting Tina home with her right then and there. Tina agreed and jumped in the car. The two drove silently to Bettes. Tina wasnt exactly sure what she was doing. She hardly knew this woman, but she knew there was a connection and she would hate herself if she didnt explore that. Bette let her hand fall onto Tinas leg as she drove. Tina put her hand on top of Bettes. She could tell Bette was nervous too no matter how cool, calm and collected she acted. Finally they pulled up to Bettes condo. Tina was in awe, her place was beautiful. Bette helped Tina inside so she could explore further. The walls were pristine white and all the furniture was modern. It was stunning but also sad. It seemed like no one lived there. Cold and bare. No pictures anywhere, not one pillow on the couch messed up. Even the kitchen looked brand new.

Bette: Can I get you a drink or something? I think I have wine somewhere.

Tina: No thank you. (Tina was feeling brave) Id rather just continue kissing you. If thats ok.

Bette didnt need to hear anymore she grabbed Tina by the waist and kissed her hard. Their hands fumbled around each others bodies. The two were moaning and gasping for air. Bette nervously broke the kiss.

Bette: Do you want to continue this upstairs. ( She pointed toward the spiral staircase).

Tina: Yeah, I think I do.

The two began to climb the stairs hand in hand. Tina stopped half way up.

Tina: Bette?

Bette: Yeah Tee? Oh, Im sorry. Do you mind if I call you that?

Tina smiled softly.

Tina: I like that.

Bette smiled back at her.

Tina: Ive, umm…Well Ive never done this before.

Bette continued to lead Tina upstairs. Once at the top of the steps Bette pulled Tina in for another kiss.

Bette: Its ok. Dont even think about it.

Tina: Ok, but youll have to teach me.

Bette: You just do what feels right. You do whatever you think would feel good to you.

Bette noticed the panic in Tinas eyes.

Bette: Or you dont have to do anything at all. I will be more than happy to take care of you.

Bettes eyes fixed intently on Tinas.

Tina: Show me to your bed Bette. I need to have you.

Bette opened her bed room door and led Tina inside. She laid Tina down on the white sheets and went to lights some candles. She dimmed the lights and headed back to the beautiful blonde in her bed. She pulled her body on top of Tinas and brushed her cheek with her finger.

Bette: Are you ready for this?

Tina was silent for a few moments. She finally let her gaze fall upon Bettes beautiful lips, her tanned skin, her deep eyes…

Tina: Yes…
