Tonight?

Yes, Tina tonight. Mandy repeated herself on the phone.

I going out with Bette tonight. I thought Addie wasnt coming in until tomorrow.

I know, but her friend has an appointment tomorrow or something so they changed the flight. Look, dont cancel anything with Bette, just give me a copy of your keys and Ill let them in.

Would you? That would be great. I wont be out late but I want to spend some alone time with Bette. Thanks a bunch, Mandy.

Anytime. Talk to you later.

Bye. Tina hung up the phone and frantically started cleaning up her apartment. It was already afternoon and she was meeting Bette early evening.


After running around the city picking up some groceries and finishing up some Christmas shopping, Tina dressed for the evening out. It was casual tonight, just a walk along the boardwalk and watching the sunset. She chose khakis and a long sleeve t-shirt. On her way to Bettes she stopped at a small flower shop and bought a little bouquet of blue and yellow wildflowers.

Bette opened the door and saw Tina, hand behind her back. Smiling shyly Tina pulled out the flowers and handed them to Bette. Hey there lady. Ready?

For you? Always. Let me put these in water first… flowers? Youre such a romantic, T. Love it.

T?

Bette shrugged her shoulders. I dont know where that came from, but I like it.

They jumped in Tinas hunk of junk and headed towards the beach hoping it wouldnt be crowded given the time of year and time of week.
At the boardwalk, they grabbed some corn dogs and fries, heading towards the water to sit on the beach and eat.

Giggling and conversing, they enjoyed their quiet time together, listening to the waves crash. When they finished eating, Bette stood to throw away their trash.

You got something on you, Bette. Come here. Tina reached for Bette and brushed some sand off her bottom, grabbing onto her and pulling her down in the sand.

Hey! No fair! You tricked me! Tina pinned her down and tickled her, Bettes legs kicking in protest. Leaning over her, Tina kissed Bette and suddenly her complaints ceased.

Not so eager to win now are you Bette? Tina grinned devilishly.

Youre the only person who can persuade me into letting you win. How do you do it?

Its easy… like this. Tina kissed her again more passionately and whispered, convinced?

Almost. Bette reached up and pulled Tina back into another embrace letting Tina know how much influence she had over her. Tina kissed Bettes cheeks, ears, neck and worked her way down to the top button of her shirt where she stopped briefly before adeptly undoing the button. Before Bette knew what happened, Tina was kissing the outline of her bra, hands roaming under the shirt. Bette flipped Tina off her and simply devoured her, catching her off guard.

Bette, stop.

Whats wrong?

We are in the middle of the beach.

Bette looked around and laughed. I think we missed the sunset, too, huh?

Tina nodded. Lets go back to my place and have a glass of wine.

Bette agreed but both women knew they wouldnt be drinking much wine this evening.

Back at Tinas, Bette and Tina didnt waste any time. As soon as they walked in the door Tina smacked Bettes rear and said, Tag, youre it! She ran towards the bedroom as Bette chased her.

You cant hide in here, T. Bette flipped the lights on and jumped over to Tina, pushing her on the bed. Looks like I win this one.

Bette unbuttoned her shirt and took it off leaving Tina breathless below her. They kissed furiously. Bette pulled Tinas shirt up over her head and threw it across the room, watching her bra-clad ***** heave up and down with each breath. Tracing a line with her tongue from Tinas ear to her shoulder, Bette ran her hand over Tinas breast, tracing the outline of her bra.

Tina pulled Bette down and pushed her on her back, climbing on top of her.

Tag.

Bette laughed out loud and watched as Tina smiled and kissed her belly button. With each kiss and flick of the tongue on Bettes bare stomach, chills ran up her spine. Unbuttoning her pants, Tina worked her way back up Bettes body and reached around to unfasten her bra.

The apartment door opened and they could hear voices in the living room. Bette and Tina looked at each other panicked. Tina whispered, Oh my god! I forgot Adison was coming tonight.

Tina put her finger to her lips and motioned to quietly grab their shirts. Once they had quickly dressed, they attempted to casually walk out of the bedroom.

Hey Addie. Tina acted like everything was normal.

Adison? I thought she wasnt coming in until tomorrow. Bette hissed in Tinas ear so that nobody else could hear her. Tina ignored her.

Tina! What are you doing here? Adison ran over to hug her. This is my friend Dana.

Nice to meet you Dana. This is Bette. Tina introduced Bette.

Tina, I didnt know youd be home. Sorry to barge in… I wouldve knocked. Mandy said, trying to break the awkwardness.

Its ok, no big deal. We were just watching a movie.

In the bedroom? You dont have a tv in there. Mandy said this before she even thought and Adison nudged her. I mean, thats fine. We can go out and grab a drink if you want.

Tina looked at Bette and noticed her shirt was buttoned crooked and her hair was disheveled. She realized her appearance couldnt look much better. Embarrassed, she replied, No, its ok, really.

Please stay. I was just leaving anyway. Bette smiled and headed towards the door.

Well, dont leave because of us. Adison said.

No, really I should be going. I have to work in the morning, but Im sure Ill be seeing more of you in the next couple of days.

Tina followed her out the door motioning to the women that shed be just a minute.

Bette, I am so sorry. I totally forgot they were coming tonight.

Its ok, Tina. I just really wanted to finish what we started.

I know, me too but what am I supposed to do?

Promise me we can spend some real time together before Christmas.

Im sure we can work something out.

Tina kissed her and Bette left, disappointed, hot and bothered.

When Tina walked back inside she saw the three women opening a bottle of wine and chatting.

Tina, thats one hot woman you got there. Adison handed her a glass of wine.

I know.

She looks like quite a piece of work. Id like to get my hands on that.

Hands off, Addie. Shes mine.

Apparently. I think we all saw that tonight. A lot of hands on. Adison laughed with Mandy and Dana.

I wish. Tina muttered under her breath.
