Bette was in the shower just letting the water run through her hoping that the steam would carry some of the alcohol away. She came out of the shower and the smell of choclate chip pancakes filled her loft. She put on some house clothes and strolled into the kitchen barefoot, where she saw Tina in her "booty shorts" and one of Bette’s old t-shirts. Tina’s movement in the kitchen was almost like a dance, she moved so gracefully inbtween each task. She looked up and smiled as she pointed towards the chair at the table.

"Sit down woman." Tina smiled as she placed a plate of almost "Grammy" shaped pancakes in front of Bette.

"Ohhh, no. I can’t believe you did this." Bette laughed into her plate. "How did you have time to do this?"

"Nope, no questions out of you. Just eat, they’re your favorite." Tina said as she stood behind Bette fixing her plate for her. she finished and wrapped her arms around Bette’s shoulders and kissed her cheek, "Eat up." tina began to let go but Bette held her there.

Bette squeezed her arms around her tighter and said, "I don’t know if I’ve said it already ths morning but, I love you."

"And I … am so unbelievably proud of you. I love you too Baby." Tina said smearing some whip cream across Bette’s lips, "And the winner is…"

"Baby, we’re going to be late if you don’t…" Bette was cut off mid-sentence as Tina stepped out of her bedroom in a gorgeous dress that stole Bette’s speech.

"I’m moving as fast as I can Sweetie." Tina said moving so fast she didn’t notice the stunned look on Bette’s face. She turned and was staring in the mirror tryin to fasten the earring, when she noticed Bette was stuck staring at her. "What’s wrong? Is it the dress, you hate the dress?" Tina said as she began thinking about what else she could throw on more to Bette’s liking.

"God, no, no, no I … I love the dress. It’s just that you… you look absolutely sensational."

"Well thank you Sweetie." Tina beamed. "I really wanted to look good for you tonight." she said fastening her last earring while looking at Bette throuigh the mirror. She spun around and felt Bette ‘s warm gaze all through her body.
