In another 15 minutes Tina turned off a main road and headed down a street – Bette looked around with interest. The houses were all pretty nice – luxury without being too showy. People here had money but didn’t want to or need to advertise the fact. She could also see that the house was close to the sea – as the car waited at a junction she could see blueness of the ocean and she smiled. It would be awesome to live so close to the sea – something that had become very important to her in the last few months
Tina pulled up in front of a house that Bette couldn’t see the front of because of the high white stone wall and tall trees and shrubs. She looked at Bette
“We are home babe”
Grabbing their bags Tina unlocked a gate by entering a digital code “I will show you how to re programme the gate tomorrow. Its time I changed the code “she said pushing the now unlocked gate open. Bette got her first look at her new home – it was a two storey white stone property that was built in the style of a 1920’s Spanish style house – hell it might even be a 1920’s house – the area was right for it. She loved the style immediately and stopped to admire the design and take in her first impressions of the house. Tina unlocked the house and quickly cancelled the security alarm before realising Bette was standing half way down the path admiring the house – well that was so typically Bette – as well as being as sexy as hell – she was smart and that came out in discussions they had shared about architecture – hence she was pleased the exterior of her house met with Bette’s approval. Bette hurriedly caught up with her
“I guess I should carry you over the threshold “Tina offered
“I would rather you didn’t injure you or me– it might be funny but anything that causes an injury that hampers our excellent sex life should be discouraged “
“Good point “Tina said “Welcome to our home “
Bette walked in and looked around – the living area was stupendous with massive beamed ceilings and long thin windows. At the end of the living room were the stairs that lead to the next floor. She looked at blonde who she knew was anxious that Bette would like the house. She pulled Tina close and kissed her on the lips
“Seems I have fallen in love with something else “
Tina beamed
“You mean it?”
“It’s gorgeous – not as gorgeous as you of course but it is great “
Tina relaxed and rested her head against the brunette’s shoulder “I want you to feel at home here – I want you to feel this is home “
“Home is where you are my darling “
“I mean it “
“So do I – I know one of the things that people are going to say is that we went into this marriage without thinking things through – well okay so we don’t know things that most couples do before they get hitched but I know my mind and I know you know your mind – you and I want to be a couple – a couple that is committed and monogamous and spend our lives together “
Tina stifled a yawn and Bette smiled
“So what do you want to do?”
Tina looked at Bette “I want to strip you naked and have amazingly wonderful sex but I need to put the car away and throw all our clothes in the washing and show you how everything works and see if there is anything in the fridge that isn’t out of a horror movie and go and get some milk and juice and stuff so we have something for breakfast in the morning and – and about all – I want to sleep”
“Okay – lets go and get all the luggage out of the car – then we can go and get milk and bread – you need to show me where the shops are “
“There is a little parade of about 6 shops on the front and a supermarket about 2 miles away”
“Okay – then we will come back and put the car away and throw some washing into the machine – then we will go and a long nap. If we wake up and it’s a reasonable hour we can get a Chinese or pizza and if not – then we can have toast or cereal – how does that sound?”
“It sounds like another reason why I love you “Tina smiled – her usual smile lessened by jet lag and tiredness. Bette wanted to take care of the blonde – not that Tina needed taking care of. But she did want someone who wouldn’t be the nightmare that all the other women in her life had been – Bette knew she was that woman for Tina.
