“What are you doing there, standing Tee?”  She asked raising an eyebrow. The sight before her was absolutely stunning. Tina’s hair was pushed back from her face and she was leaned against the wall. It was as if Tina was glowing to her. “You look so sexy.” She told her.

Tina smiled shyly. Bette told her everyday and every time she’d blush. To be loved by the most beautiful, intelligent, kind, and loving woman on earth she knew—well it was so overwhelming.  “Bette come here.” She seductively growled at her. Bette sat up and walked towards her. Tina’s heart began to beat.

“Pick me up.” She simply said, just like that.

Bette looked at her with the side of her eye and smiled. She was sure Tina was up to something. She picked Tina up effortlessly just like the times– There was the first time she gathered Tina into her arms when Tina had come to realize that she wasn’t straight. She was actually a lesbian. The next time would be when she found out her parents had disowned her for being a lesbian, for “choosing Bette” over them. Then there was the time Tina had cried the first time they had made love. Tina said, “I never felt so free, so loved by anyone in my life” and she sobbed into arms all night. Bette rocked her to sleep, promising she’d always pick her up. But one of the happiest times she had picked Tina up like this before—it was when they had their commitment ceremony. Bette couldn’t wait for Tina to walk down the aisle any longer. She ran down the aisle in her white flowing dress in those too-high heels, lifted her bride-to-be gently off the floor and strolled down the aisle while their family and friends laughed and cheered them on.

“No, Bette, not like that, I want you to hold me like this.” Tina put her arms over Bette’s neck, jumped and wrapped her legs around her waist. “Bette” She whispered into her ear. “Take me like this, now.”

Bette liked what she heard and took Tina like she had asked. Their lips were locked and they were kissing as if there was no tomorrow. Tina sucked on Bette’s lower lip and nibbled.
