=============================================================

The day went by slowly as Tina and Bette responded to crisis after crisis in their respective positions.  Jenny causing minor headaches for Tina and Phyllis for Bette but nothing that either of them couldn’t handle.   Bette went by for Angie and dropped her off with Kit. She then went to her house to get an overnight bag since she was hoping to stay the night.  She decided she would leave it in her car in case things got a little tense tonight and they needed some time apart to think.  Bette pulled up to Tina’s right as Tina was getting out of her car as well.

“Hey…perfect timing”  Tina said.

“Hey you. Can you help me with this bag?” Bette asked as she grabbed the grocery bags from the car.

“Sure…looks like someone is going to be cooking tonight?” Tina asked raising her eyebrow truly hoping that Bette hadn’t expected her to cook. “I thought we would order in”

“I am going to cook.” Bette stated.

“Well well this is a surprise…nice move Bette…I am looking forward to it. I never did get to try the stir fry from the other day”  Tina said as she gave Bette a kiss on the lips.  “Should I look for the take out menus just in case.”

“It was soo not my fault that the stir fry burned beyond recognition” Bette laughed remembering how she and Tina were having some afternoon delight while the kitchen nearly went up in flames.  “You need to have a little faith.  Trust me. I have learned a few tricks while we’ve been apart” Bette responded.

Tina smiled at her not wanting to know how Bette had acquired some of these ‘tricks’ she mentioned. She hoped she was only referring to cooking. They walked across the courtyard to Tina’s. As they entered Bette looked over at the couch and had a very vivid flashback.

“Did I already tell you that I really really like that couch” Bette said.

“Yeah… it is remarkably comfortable” Tina said as she put her bags down and pulled Bette into a kiss.  

They kissed attentively for a little while letting their tongues taste each other. Just long deep kisses to remind them that they were together once again and it felt right.  They gently broke free and looked into each other’s eyes.

“I missed you” Tina said.

“Me to” Bette responded.

“I’m starving so why don’t you put on your apron and get to cooking, woman.” Tina said as she swatted Bette’s ass.

“Did you just do what I think you did?” Bette asked shocked.  

Tina was already walking out the kitchen laughing the whole way to her bedroom. She wanted to change out of her suit and get comfortable. She was hoping tonight would be a good meal, a good talk, and maybe some good loving.
