Bette: “you don’t want to pee?”

Tina: “no, I just wanted to adjust the wig”

Bette: “oh…, okay, we could go to the car”

In the car they sat in the back and because it was cold, they cover themselves with a blanket that Bette took from a bag.

Tina: “that girl, Linn…, was she your girlfriend?”

Bette: “no, never…, we had a brief relationship of around 6 hours”

Tina: (smiling) “six hours…? How was that?”

Bette: “I met her during the finals, last spring, Alice introduced us, but I was not interested, however, I saw her again here at the beginning of this last summer, we drank some daiquiris and she got tipsy…, well almost drunk, we hooked and …, had some diversion”

Tina: “you mean sex?”

Bette: “Tina…, baby…, I…”

Tina: “it’s fine Bette…, I understand…, I would have done the same…”

Bette: “no…, I mean, I was shallow, sometimes I’m still shallow, you are not, you are kind, responsible, intense …, you wouldn’t sleep with someone you just meet…”

Tina: “hmm…, I don’t know Bette…, if I didn’t have this problem…, I mean my past…, I would have gone to bed with you on the first date…” 

Bette: “… really…?”

Tina: “uh-huh”

Bette: “and…, do you still have that problem…?”

Tina: “well…, no with you at least…”

Bette was deeply moved, not only because of the trust Tina has on her but by the promise of a future complete relationship, in all senses, with her girlfriend. She hugged Tina and kissed her lips tenderly first then, another slow and deep kiss and finally a passionate one when they stopped for air Bette spoke.

Bette: “come here baby, sit in my lap…”

Tina sat on Bette’s thighs, straddling her; Bette used the blanket to wrap Tina and herself, the brunette lowered her hands to the small of her back and hugged pulling her closer, they kissed.

Bette: “Tina…, I love you very much…, I’ll never hurt you…, and I will always protect you…, with my life if it is needed”

Tina: “I know baby, you make me feel what I never thought I could, I want to be with you and give myself totally to you, I want to be yours and you to be mine…”
