“Uh huh.”

“No, really T, besides…I…uh…well…”

Tina decided to let her off the hook.  She walked over to the stuttering brunette and kissed her on the cheek. “I’m just teasing you sweetheart but just in case that was something that you had ever ‘entertained’ in the past, you should know that you’re entertaining will require only one guest from now on.”

Bette grabbed her just as she was about to walk over to the couch and wrapped her arms around her waist. “Is that so Ms. Kennard?  And who might that special guest be?”

Tina played with the collar of Bette’s shirt not looking into her eyes.  “Well, that would be your… girlfriend.”  She continued avoiding Bette’s eyes who decided it might be her turn to tease the blonde.

She let her go. “Girlfriend?  Well, that’s a little soon and presumptuous I might add.  I mean that’s a serious step, Tina.  You know us vampires have trouble with commitment.  Don’t you think you’re asking for a little too much?”

Tina’s mouth dropped open and she looked enraged.  She grabbed her purse from the table where she had placed it when she walked in a made a bee line for the door.  She was only feet from reaching it when Bette appeared against it with her arms spread apart preventing Tina from exiting.

Tina looked at her and attempted to turn the doorknob.  Bette grabbed her wrist and spun her around so Tina was now against the door. She put her face as close to the blonde’s as she could without touching it. “You can dish it out huh, Kennard?  I’m only teasing baby.”  She began kissing her lightly as Tina avoided being kissed on the lips.  She was still angry but her resolve was faltering.  “Don’t be mad *kiss* T, I *kiss* love you.  You are my girl, * kiss * you’re my everything, now and forever baby.”  Tina watched Bette’s mouth and could hold out no more.  The brunette had now let go of her wrists and Tina kissed Bette’s face over and over until she landed on her lips.  Her tongue did most of the ‘talking’ for her.  Bette knew she was out of the doghouse and smiled into her kisses.
