“Grr, you made the wine go up my nose!”

“Well, better wine than pasta going up there!” Tina teased

“This was the best idea ever you ever had T” Bette and Tina had been through a lot in the last year, and though counselling had helped them get through most of their problems, they stilled tended to get a bit distant if they weren’t careful. So, Tina had come up with the idea that on the first Sunday of every month they would spend the whole day alone together at home, just doing nice things for each other, lounging around, enjoying each others company and having *****. This had become every Sunday after the first one, and in six months they had not missed one day.

“No, the best idea I ever had was choosing you beautiful” Tina replied in sugary voice

“Aww, your so cute” Bette leaned in and kissed Tina again “I love you so much”

“Well, it was a toss up between that and growing my hair. God I’m so irresistibly beautiful, I don’t know how you can stand to be around me” she said as she dramatically tossed her hair

“And so modest too! I don’t know either” Bette rolled her eyes

“Bette that was ***** gorgeous!” Tina exclaimed as she finished the last strand of pasta “I swear to God, if I ever meet that Nigella woman, I’ll.” Tina paused “I don’t know, but it will be good!!” During Bette and Tina’s separation, Bette had gone to England for a few months, where she had met the esteemed art connoisseur Charles Saachi. They worked together, and because Bette knew no-one else, she had spent a lot of time at his house. She quickly made friends with his wife, Nigella, who had taught her how to cook.

“Okay, its time for desert, ice-cream” Bette got up and picked up the tray

“Yum, what is it? Ben & Jerrys?”

“No! When I said I was making everything from scratch I wasn’t kidding. Its bitter orange and lime with chocolate sauce. I made it all myself” Tina was impressed.

“Chocolate sauce, eh? Chocolate sauce can be .fun” Tina raised her left eyebrow and pouted at Bette.

Bette returned with the desert two minutes later, smiling seductively at Tina. As she poured the hot sauce over the ice-cream, she made this gentle purring noise that always made Tina laugh. Originally, she had thought it *****, but Tina’s fits of laughter the first time she had tried it had proved otherwise. Bette dipped her finger in the sauce and then brought it to her lips, carefully leaving a little line of it around them. Tina bent forward and kissed the sauce off.

“Oh my God, Bette! You really made that?”

“Yeah, you like?” Bette questioned seductively

“Ye hah!!” Tina picked up a spoon and began to eat the desert

“Em, honey, I thought we were gonna” Tina interrupted her mid sentence

“Nope, sorry, this is too delicious to waste during *****”

“Hey!!”

“Sorry babe, what I mean is, ***** with you is so mind-blowingly-amazing, I wouldn’t fully be able to appreciate the perfection that is this desert” Tina smiled at Bette, her mouth full of sweet heaven, “but after..
