Bette sat back and grabbed her water bottle and took a long slow drink, she smiled wide and bit in the corner of her bottom lip as she tried hard not to smile so big. Her big eyes seemed to penetrate Tina causing her to smile as well as she quickly batted her eyes away from Bette. She got up and started towards the bathroom, “I’m going to go change into some jammies.” she said smiling and blushing as Bette still sat there with her hand now placed over her smile and her eyes subtly following Tina’s movements. Tina’s legs were still feeling like jelly but she made it right into the bathroom luckily without incident.

Tina finished in the shower and made it right back out to Bette who was now trying to keep busy and straighten up in the kitchen Tina’s soft voice startled her a bit though, “The bathroom’s all yours.” Bette popped up from behind the countertop and smiled a bit at the tender way she spoke to her.

“Thanks.” came her reply. She made her way towards the bathroom but she inevitably had to pass Tina to get there, she could still feel the intense heat emanating from her body. Bette made it into the shower and couldn’t believe everything that had happened so far. She expected to be in this city alone and struggle to adapt and miss home like crazy. She was willing to go through all that and so much more in order to give Tina what she needed to be alright with herself again. And here it was she was willing to move across the country and be with her despite the turmoil they threw into each other’s lives. The more she thought about it the more she realized what an incredible woman her girlfriend was. The mere thought of being able to call Tina that caused Bette to smile wide as she let the water wash away the day’s touch. She stood under the water with her heart beating fast and her hands constantly wringing each other as her face was unable to let go of her king size smile. The warm intense water seemed to bring on a whole new skin for her, she felt free and completely vindicated. She stepped out of the shower feeling so refreshed even her same old pajamas felt new and for some reason softer than before.
