”It is” Tina said innocently as she brought the glass to her lips and averted her gaze.

Bette grabbed the glass before the blonde could take a sip, careful not to spill the contents before bringing it to her own lips.

”Ugh” Bette grimaced slightly as the liquid traveled down her throat, feeling a warmth settle in her belly despite the coldness of the drink. She looked to Tina in disbelief, ”What are you doing ordering this?”

Tina shrugged and waved her hand towards the glass, ”If you don’t like it, then give it back”

”Fat chance” Bette smirked before taking another sip, grimacing only slightly. ”Damn, Candace sure knows how to make a drink”

Tina flashed a smirk of her own, ”Candace huh?”

”None of your business” Bette’s smile grew wider and slowly spread across her face in the sexiest way.

Tina couldn’t help but laugh, ”Is that information off limits?”

”Yup” Bette ran her finger over the rim of her glass, feeling suddenly uncomfortable with the topic. She didn’t want to talk about Candace. Not with Tina.

Tina pursed her lips to unsuccessfully hide a smile. She found herself curious as to Bette’s relationship with the bartender but she knew that the brunette wouldn’t tell her what she wanted to know. Not now at least.

”Besides” Bette continued as she brought the drink to her lips, ”We were talking about you first”

Her eyes never left Tina’s as she drank the bitter liquid and raised an eyebrow. She looked at Tina in a way that could only be described as arousingly sexy. It was teasing but it was also incredibly wanting. Tina had never been looked at that way before and upon seeing the mischievous twinkle in Bette’s brown eyes, the blonde couldn’t help but return the look in kind. She loved the challenge it brought, giving Bette a taste of her own medicine that is.

It was silent between them for what seemed like a lifetime, neither woman willing to surrender to the staring contest they found themselves in. Eventually it was Tina who relented in the end .. when she realized she had been squirming under Bette’s intense gaze.

She cleared her throat nervously and looked away for a moment, severing the magic between them before meeting Bette’s eyes once more, ”So anyway, nothing happened. Between Brenda and I”
