“Ahhh I’m sorry to disappoint but… I’m not Rachel… I believe I’m your one o’clock date” Tina heard the familiar voice and immediately lifted her eyes, there she saw Bette holding a single beautiful purple rose. The roller coaster of emotions going through her body was something she was sure had never experienced before.

Tina had suddenly lost track of where or who she was. All she could see was that tall and slim and beautiful and smart and sexy as hell brunette of hers, and the list of adjectives could go on and on. She felt the air being knocked out of her lungs and her heart just stopped, only to resume its beating a thousand miles per hour. Tina had surprisingly lost her ability to speak or move or do pretty much of anything except smiling.

“Who do I have to bribe to get a hug in this city?” Bette jokingly asked as she leaned her back on the wall next to the doorframe, stepping inside the blonde’s office. Tina was still in a trance but she somehow was able to process Bette’s words, which also meant she was actually there and she was not daydreaming again.

Tina widened her smile if that was at all possible and quickly got up from behind her desk locking eyes with Bette, and making their distance shorter by each step she took towards her brunette love. She was literally walking towards love, towards her future.

When she reached her destination she instinctively looked at the single rose Bette was holding and then back at the brunette.

“Is that for me?” Tina seductively asked stepping right into Bette’s space.

“Well that depends” Bette replied just as seductively.

“May I ask on what?” Tina playfully asked back.

“If I’m your one o’clock date” Bette quickly replied with that million dollar smile of hers.

It was so relieving for Tina to know that after so many years of seeing that smile flashed at her, after longing so much to kiss those lips when that happened, she finally was able to without fear or hesitation, it felt as if that was the most natural thing in the world to do.

And so she did.

Tina placed both her arms around Bette’s neck and didn’t think twice. She started the kiss softly and gently but she needed more. She needed the whole Bette, so she pressed her body against the brunette’s as firmly and tightly as she could and then slightly brushed her tongue against Bette’s lips, begging for permission. Something that obviously wasn’t denied to her for too long, when their tongues met that unmistakable and familiar and overwhelming passion took over both of them, and what started as a sweet and gentle kiss was suddenly becoming something more and fast.

After a few more moments of their tongues battling to win a war that was already lost, they both became aware of the fact that human beings actually need air to survive.

“Is this how you greet all your appointments?” Bette said after regaining some composure, her forehead still against Tina’s.

“Well not all of them… just the special ones” Tina playfully replied, still not believing her Bette was there. She was still afraid she would wake up anytime soon.

“I see… so I guess I should consider myself lucky then… I’m one of the special ones” Bette teased back. At that moment Tina got serious and stared right into Bette’s eyes, their foreheads loosing contact.

“Yours are only lips I wanna kiss… you are my only special one” Tina softly said giving Bette another kiss, but this time it was different. This time it was soft and gentle and full of meaning, one of those kisses full of love and tenderness.

“Hi T… surprise” Bette softly said when the kiss ended.

“You’re the best surprise I could ever ask for” Tina said just as softly giving Bette a peck on the lips.

“Oh so you mean you don’t wanna see the rest?” Bette asked raising an eyebrow.
