Out of Closet (B&T time-travel romance), Ch. 24, Part 1

Chapter 24, Part 1: Learning can be fun…with the right teacher (Tina and Bette exploring the world)

(Previously) Bette quietly closed the door and leaned against it, smiling widely and trying to control her rapid heart beat. She got ready for bed, brushing her teeth with a wonderful brush and amazing toothpaste just as Tina had showed her before. With anticipation of another sweet dream, Bette got into her comfortable bed.

‘What is happening to me? It felt like a courtship…no, wait…what did Alice call that thing here? Date…yes, it felt like a date, and I loved it. Is it possible for a person who loves to sleep to wish for the morning already because I get to see Tina again? I can’t wait.’ And with those thoughts and a smile Bette finally let sleep overtake her, overwhelmed by all the emotions of this wonderful day. 

After Bette went inside, Tina touched her side of the door with the palm of her hand and stood in silence a little longer in front of the bedroom. She wanted to analyze what had just happened between Bette and her but all she could think of was the soft and silky skin of Bette’s cheek. It was so different from kissing a man and Tina definitely liked that difference.

She sighed for what seemed like the tenth time today and went to her bedroom. Preparing for bed she tried not to think about Bette. Brushing her teeth she tried even harder not to think about Bette. Lying between the cold and crisp sheets she used all of her will power not to think about Bette. Finally, dozing off into a wonderful land of dreams all Tina could do was thinking and dreaming about Bette.

The weekend passed quickly and on Monday Tina was supposed to go back to the Porter mansion to check some new materials for the roof and paints for the interior of the house. She had a professional construction crew working there the rest of the month and she knew that she didn’t really need to be in the house. Tina didn’t want to leave Bette even for a minute and decided to find someone else to supervise the rest of the house renovations so she could spend time with Bette.
