"Mmm," Tina giggled, getting on top of Bette to straddle her with only her towel on. "You’re so hot when you’re all worked up … should I be worried about your valiant strength?"

Bette laughed at Tina’s teasing and shook her head, "The only thing you should worry about is being able to walk when I’m through with you."

"Ooh!" Tina giggled, grinding into Bette’s stomach. "Promise?"

Bette laughed, nodding her head as she looked up to her beautiful girlfriend. "I promise baby."

A knock on the door startled them both, Bette jumping for her clothes as Tina threw on an oversized shirt and shorts to answer the door. Insistent knocking gave her answer an angrier edge. "What?!"

She whipped open the door and Alice was standing there.

"What the hell, Kennard? I tell you we’re going out tonight and this is what you put on? I need to come in-"

"No!" Tina jumped, putting her arm out to block her friend from entering her room. She couldn’t let the girl see who was in there with her. Still. "Uh … I just mean that I really need to get my clothes on for tonight."

"You’d better be going trampy! What did we talk about, right? Slutty all the waaay!" Alice laughed, holding up her hands with excitement. Bette rolled her eyes behind the door, making sure not to laugh and give away her presence. "Oh my god, if you’re not wearing a dress tonight, I’ve got to see what you’re wearing!"

"No no, it’s a dress!" Tina insisted a little too strongly, just trying to wave away the idea of her friend stepping into her room. Alice brought her fingers over her chin in a suspicious way.

"You’re acting a little weird …"

"Well I’m feelin’ a little weird," Tina joked, laughing to herself. "I am just so excited for this bar thing!" She wanted to please Alice’s idea of the night so she could have some privacy.

"And it’s probably best I didn’t see Bette’s crazy make up thing. I probably would have been afraid for my life, right? I mean … Bette? Girly? That’s like … I don’t know … that’s like you being into ‘the ladies’."

Tina chuckled and shook her head. "Alice-"

"Hey, that’s alright!" Alice giggled, "You can still show a little skin! So come on now, do I have to come in there or is it gonna be wild?"

"Umm … pretty wild," Tina said, suddenly feeling Bette tugging on a corner of her shorts. She tried not to laugh at how horrible her girlfriend was.

"Okay good. I’d better not be disappointed. I plan on showing you off to all the little lezzies around here – one more converted and I get my toaster oven!" she laughed, clapping her hands together. "No, but seriously. We’re all going super slutty. And I’m gonna try to get Bette to wear anything other than dress pants. I swear, I couldn’t get that girl into a dress if my life depended on it!"

Another tug and Tina had to pull her shorts up to her waist. She snorted with laughter and Alice was pleased, figuring that her joke was pleasingly humorous.

"Okay okay, well get changed, and then come see me!" Alice smiled.

"Will do," Tina smiled, closing the door and turning to the mischievous brunette behind it. "Bette!" she whispered, shooing her hands away. "What were you doing?! Trying to get us caught?"

"No," Bette laughed, "You were just such an easy target."

Tina rolled her eyes, "Great. Now I need to wear a slutty dress out for the night."

"Oh poor baby," Bette smirked, leaning in.

"Everyone else will see me in it, and no one knows I’m with you," Tina added, watching the expression on her lover’s face turn into worry. She smiled, watching Bette’s inevitable overreaction.

"Shit."
