She walked towards Tina, suddenly treading through the past, approaching the breathtaking blonde wishing they could go back in time.

“Are you ready?”

“Mmhmmm.” Tina found it hard to speak as Bette sauntered towards her. The smooth skin of her chest lustrous in the dimly lit space.

“Would you like to go to Dana’s? I’m sure Shane and Alice are there and would want to hang out with you for your birthday.”

“No. I thought maybe we could go to the place a few doors down? I heard live jazz playing as I walked by earlier.”

“Ok.” Bette adjusted the buttons of her blouse, the navy fitted shirt suddenly feeling tighter than a few seconds ago.

Tina couldn’t help but notice the muscles expanding the fabric as Bette fiddled with her collar. She turned her head away as she bit her bottom lip.

Bette let Tina walk in first, and suggested sitting at the bar.

“Sure,” Tina nodded once. “I’m just going to go to the ladies room.”

Bette watched Tina strut away, pinching the top of her hand to prove that this was in fact not a dream.

She found one open seat at the bar. She sat nervously in the chair, her eyes continuously darting in the direction of the restrooms.

“Would you like a drink?” The bartender placed a coaster in front of Bette.

“I’m just going to wait until my wi…um my…I just need a minute please.”

When Tina came back from the bathroom, Bette got up and offered her the seat.

“It’s ok, you can sit.”

“No, it’s your birthday. I insist.”

The bartender reappeared as the two women glided against each other so Tina could sit down.“Hi, can I have a gin and soda please? With lime.”

Bette looked incredulously at Tina, half in disbelief that she was there, half in disbelief that she would order gin. She knew gin went straight to Tina’s head and her libido. Still feeling the impression of Tina’s breasts against her own chest, her eyes slinked to Tina’s shoe that dangled over the smooth calf. The black dress inched up from her knee, revealing more of the creamy thigh when situating herself closer to the bar. Bette’s hand rested on the back of Tina’s chair as she leaned over to order herself a Cabernet.
