‘Yuk!’

‘What? I was just surprised to see her. How was I to know she was going to be here this morning?’ Bette couldn’t suppress the grin from her face as she turned to once again stare at Tina. This time, the blonde appeared to ignore her but she could tell by the way she moved, she knew Bette was watching. She saw her get up and head over towards them.

‘Hey’ Tina was the first to start up conversation.

‘Hey yourself’ Bette grinned back. She was unable to stop her eyes from darting over Tina’s clothes and couldn’t help but find her incredibly sexy in her jeans and brown leather jacket. Her blonde hair was down and fell to her shoulders, framing her face beautifully.

‘I didn’t expect to see you here this morning; I half expected you to be nursing a rather large hangover.’ Tina’s eyes sparkled as she looked into Bette’s. She was enjoying this more than ever, the fact that she was no longer with Eric meant she could flirt without having to reign herself back in. Besides, the fact she knew how Bette felt about her was a massive turn on. She felt her cheeks flush under Bette’s gaze and melted.

‘Well I like to think I can hold my drink a little better than some.’ Bette smiled and gestured towards Alice who had turned to order her coffee from Kit. Bette loved the southern drawl that seemed ever so slightly more intensified in Tina’s speech this morning. Bette imagined how she would sound when she had her naked and instantly blushed. She shuffled, coughing as she asked what Tina fancied, gesturing towards the menu on the wall.

‘Well, I think we both know what I fancy…’ Tina drifted off and leaned into Bette breathing in her intoxicating scent. She let out a deep sigh as she allowed the sentence to linger, allowed them both to take what they needed from the insinuation. ‘But for now, I’m going to have a skinny mocha latte.’ She smiled devilishly and her eyes flashed Bette a look of intensity like no other.

Bette hardly knew what to do to prevent herself from reaching across and closing the small gap between them and kissing Tina with all the passion she had shown the night before. She longed to feel the pulse of Tina’s neck against her lips and hear the gasp she had heard for the first time last night. The fact she had lusted after Tina for months appeared to have been intensified by their actions of the previous evening. She desired more, craved more. She started to move closer as she felt there was no resistance from Tina but as soon as she started, she remembered Eric. The one major barrier that had always prevented her from being able to show her how she felt. She shut her emotions down and her insides turned cold. As she turned back towards the coffee bar, she went to order the drinks and felt a hand on her elbow that sent a tingle up her arm. Only one touch could do that to her. T.
