As Bette prepared for Jenny, she somehow couldn’t shake the feeling that Tina had bad news. If it was one thing Bette was sick of, it was bad news. She already found out that she had been keeping the secret of her pregnancy from her, even though everyone else knew. She’d never truly understand why, not unless Tina told her. That time had passed, though. Things were supposedly looking up, with the new baby on the way…Bette couldn’t be more excited. She hoped there wasn’t something wrong with her – Tina did say it wasn’t important, but Tina sometimes didn’t say what was really on her mind. Best if she just forgets about it for now, so Jenny can have her undivided attention.

There was a soft knock at the door.

B “It’s open.”

J “Hi, Bette.” Jenny smiled sheepishly and stepped inside.

B “Hi Jenny, it’s good to see you. How was your day?”

J “Oh, work sucked, but hey…I gotta eat, right?” Jenny laughed a little nervously.

B “Well, I’m here to make all of that nastiness disappear.” Bette leaned over to Jenny and placed a hand on each of her hips.

J “You look absolutely amazing.” Jenny grinned and batted her eyelashes.

B “So do you.” Bette pulled her in for a kiss. They both let out a small moan and then slowly pulled away. They took their time sitting down. Jenny sat with her legs draped over Bette’s, touching her face like a blind man seeing for the first time.

J “God, you are so beautiful,” Jenny was in awe, “I can’t believe you’re even remotely interested in me. I’m so ***** weird.”

Bette laughed.

B “I’ve met stranger people, Jenny.” She kissed her again, this time harder and with more passion. “Are you hungry?”

J “I am, but not for food.”

Bette new exactly what to do. She swooped Jenny up into her arms and carried her to the bedroom. She set her down in the soft nest of silk sheets and began to undress her. Bette took her top off and slid into the bed beside Jenny, working her hands from her rose colored lips, down to her ivory white calves.

B “Jenny…”

J “Yes – “

B “Never mind.” Bette was lost in her arousal, whatever she was going to say simply flew out the window. They entwined each other like licorice ropes, Jenny gasping for air, Bette’s entire body arched with pleasure…




The two were physically exhausted. They lay in bed, drowning in each others eyes. Romantic just barely begins to describe the moment. Bette stretches her long legs out and releases a sigh of relief.

B “So, are you hungry now?”

Jenny giggled. She loved Bette so much. Did she really love her? Was she IN love with her? One thing’s for sure, Bette was an incredible lover. She had done things to Jenny that she would have never imagined. It was ***** AMAZING.

J “I am. You?”

B “Very. How does pizza and beer sound?”

J “Extremely *****.” Jenny stretched and nuzzled up to her pillow. “Bette, don’t laugh…but that had to be THE best ***** I have ever had! You are so amazing.”

B “Really!? But what about Marina? She was your first.”

J “Marina is in a whole different category. She was the first woman I slept with, and like she said to me once, it opened my world. I never knew that kind of ecstasy existed. But you, you know how to please a woman. No one has ever done those things to me before. You should like, get a medal or something.”

Bette burst out with laughter

B “A medal! Geez, Jenny. Well I’m glad you enjoyed it.”

J “Did I do okay? I mean, did I please you?”

B “Jenny, you don’t even have to ask. I can not even begin to describe the amount of pleasure you give me. Come here,” Bette gestured to Jenny. Jenny cuddled up to her, closing her eyes.

J “I love your apartment. You’ll have to tell me about all of these paintings you have.”

B “I’ll give you the grand tour.”

They ordered their pizza and got dressed. Bette explained the significance of each painting to Jenny. She stood solemnly, in complete awe of her new love. Kissing Bette was better than being high. Making love with Bette was like ***** flying. It just couldn’t get any better than that.




Tina sat in her lazy-boy, alone in her apartment. Helena was going to be home soon, and she’d undoubtedly call when she got there. She was supposed to come over to Tina’s place, but her work schedule disrupted their plans. Tina had an idea. She’d pick up some Tai and surprise Helena at her house. After all, she did give her a key. And what good is a key if you never use it? Tina picked up the phone and ordered. She couldn’t wait to see the look on Helena’s face when she walked through her door, tired and irritable. She hoped it would make her happy. Things were starting to really work between the two of them. Too bad Bette didnt agree.

T “Here’s to us.” Tina raised a glass of water in the air and toasted to herself and her new love. “To whatever life may bring us, good or bad.”

Unfortunately for Tina, it was the bad that life was about to bring.
