Bette turned to hide her smirk.  She walked to the tub, turning on the taps and adjusting the water temperature to fill it for her and Tina.  

She walked back to the shower, opened the door, and pulled Tina into her arms, nuzzling into her neck and inhaling Tina’s scent.   She started to lose herself in the embrace, when she felt Tina shiver.  She took Tina’s hand leading her over to the tub and helping her step in.
 
“Let’s just relax and take a bath.  Why don’t you get in, and I’ll be right back? There’s a really nice bottle of red on the bar that I’ll open for us.  Then, I’ll come back and join you.  I’ll cancel our dinner reservation.  We can order dinner in, and spend a quiet evening – just you and me.  We’ll call the desk in the morning and figure out the shower thing tomorrow, okay?”

Tina’s eyes sparkled.  “Thanks babe.   That sounds great.   Do you know how much I love you?”

“Yes, because it’s almost as much as I love you.”

Tina pulled Bette toward her and placed a soft, lingering kiss on Bette’s lips.  Tina sat down into the large tub.  She could feel the warm water begin to ease the tension of the week that she carried in the tight muscles of her back and neck.  With her eyes closed, she leaned back and relaxed against the tub.  Her racing thoughts began to slow.  The tension in her mind and body began to ease.  Bette could not have planned this weekend at a better time.  This was going to be a wonderful opportunity to spend time alone relaxing with her love.  

Bette walked back into the bedroom to retrieve the wine and two glasses.  She cancelled their dinner reservations, as they would order room service later.  Even though it was still late afternoon, Bette had no intention of either of them leaving the room this evening.  

So far, the weekend was not going exactly as she had planned.  Hopefully, that would quickly change.  She wanted this weekend to be a time for them to forget about the stress of the last couple months.  She wanted the weekend to be time for them to relax, reconnect and enjoy spending time alone together.  Instead, settling into their room had not been very settling.  Who knew that the technology in the room could have been so confusing without the brief explanation?  She had to admit that she should have let Michael give his brief orientation of the features of their room when it was offered.
