Dana and Alice returned to their room to get ready while Shane jumped in the shower.  Bette turned on the TV in the room. The French version of MTV was on and she decided to keep it on since maybe something would be in English. She got dressed while enjoying the music that was playing in the background.

In the meantime Tina was taking care of some business of her own. She got dressed went downstairs to the front desk and spoke to one of the workers.  Once everything was sorted out he handed her an envelope and a few loose papers. Tina hid them in the bottom of her bag and made her way back upstairs to her room.  Just as she shut the door behind her, a knock startled her.

T?

The sound of Bettes voice eased Tinas apprehension. She opened the door and her jaw dropped to the floor. Bette looked utterly amazing. She was wearing a black skirt with a pink corset like top that was eye catching.  It hugged her sides and was tight at the chest, which grabbed Tinas attention.  She swallowed hard and said, Where did you get that?

Bette looked down and asked, What?

That…that top

Ive had this for a while, just never wore it. Is there something wrong with it?

Tina nodded her head, It should never be worn.

What? Why not? questioned Bette.

You cant possible think you can walk out in public looking like that. Its soso provocative!

Bette said as she started to make her way into the room, Oh really? Well I think its fine. And who knows maybe Ill pick up some cute Parisian man to satisfy my every need. Bette smirked at Tina, who met her glare with a raised eyebrow.

Shut up said Tina.

Make me. And thats just what Tina did.  She pressed her lips against Bettes in a fury of passion. The moment shared was electrifying and although it pained Bette to do so, she had to pull away.

T, we have to go.

Cant everything else be put on hold for just a little while? Tina asked with an innocent look on her face.

There will be time for that later. Now I need you to come with me and close your eyes.

Tina pouted but did as she was told and was led into the hallway where the rest of the gang stood patiently awaiting.

Bette said, Ok T, open your eyes.

With that the 3 women yelled, Surprise! and hugged Tina, who was shocked that they had come to Paris too.

Wow. I didnt expect to see you all!

Shane said, Always expect the unexpected, as she smiled at the sight of Bette and Tina being in such close proximity without the tension in the air that used to always be present.

The five of them went on their way, just like the good old days. Enjoying conversation and sharing laughs. They ate at the restaurant Le Timbre, which turned out to be quite ***** friendly as ***** couples were scattered throughout the cozy environment.

After they ate and walked around the city some more, they headed over to a place that Bette was sure would entertain her three friends who have for the majority of the trip so far been bored.  The taxi pulled up in front of Le Vinyl. Bright lights were flashing from the entrance, and Shane was immediately enjoying herself.

***** Bette, this is a ***** club isnt it?

You got it.

Shane and Alice high-fived each other and said, Score! Women!

Dana hit Alice, You wont be scoring tonight.

What, why not? asked Alice.

Well not with me at least. You shouldnt be concerned about the other women who will be here!

Alice followed Dana out of the car, But you know I didnt mean it like that! Cmon dont be such a hard *****, even though your ***** is hard and firm and you know I love it

Bette, Tina, and Shane just looked at one another, acknowledging that the two of them acted like an old married couple. They followed them outside and went to the end of the line, which had about 30 people ahead of them.

Bette leaned over and whispered in Tinas ear, Will this be too much for you and the baby? Because you know I can take you back to the hotel.

Tina responded, Lets see how it is.

A few minutes later they entered the club, which was extremely dark compared to the brightness outside.  There were three floors with men and women looking for action.  The music was soft but sensual, and all in French.

I think this is heaven, said Shane as a cute girl walked by and winked at her. Shane went after her in pursuit of having a good time.

Dana and Alice were still bickering but Dana gave in when Alice kissed her, and they began to dance.  That left Bette and Tina standing alone not sure of what to do.  Bette still thought that the whole club would be too much for Tina so she suggested that they sit on a bench across street in the park while the girls enjoyed themselves. Tina agreed.  Bette went over to Alice and told her of the plan.

Alice rolled her eyes and said, Still boring.

It is not boring, its the right thing to do, Bette replied taking offense as she remembered how the gang teamed up against her and Tina and told them they were too boring once in the past.

I know, Im just busting your chops. Well meet you out there in two hours tops.

An hour and half, said Bette.

Fine. Go enjoy sitting.

Bette smiled and responded, I will. Go shake your ***** off.

She returned to Tina who seemed to be prey to the bystanders who were wondering why such an attractive woman was standing alone.  Bette quickly linked arms with her to show everyone that she was off limits. They walked outside and across the street to the empty park scattered with little flowers.

Tina sat down and got comfortable. I dont think Ill be able to get up.

Bette stroked a strand of Tinas hair behind her ear and said, Me either, but as long as were stuck here together, I dont see a problem with that.

They talked about their day together and how much trouble the girls could possible get into inside while watching couples pass by walking their dogs and starring up at the night sky filled with throngs of stars. 

Tina grabbed Bettes hand and followed a shooting star. Make a wish

Bette closed her eyes and wished for Tina and her to live the rest of their lives together like they were meant to. When she opened her eyes she met Tinas and found that loving gaze.

Whatd you wish for? inquired Tina.

I cant tell you. If I do it wont come true.

Tina said, Always superstitious, before softly kissing Bette on the lips.  She put her head on Bettes shoulder, and asked Bette to sing to her.

 T, you know I dont like my voice.

But I do. Please sing for me.

Tina gave her best puppy dog eyes and that was enough for Bette to give in.  She cleared her throat and opened her mouth to let the words of Mariah Careys We Belong Together flow out softly and beautifully in the exact rhythm as the actual song.

When you left I lost a part of me

It’s still so hard to believe

Come back baby, please

Cause we belong together.

Bette abruptly stopped finally realizing the lyrics. I didnt mean to do that.

Didnt mean what? questioned Tina who was unsure of what Bette meant.

 To sing that.

 “What was wrong with it? I liked it.

 The words, Bette continued to be short.

.
















Those were the best part.

.





Bette looked up at Tina and swallowed. They were?

.


Yes.

.
Well I didnt realize what I was saying until it was too late. The song was
just stuck in my head all day and 

.



Tina put her finger to Bettes mouth. And I agree. Tina kissed Bette sensually so Bette wouldnt have to ask what Tina agreed with.  Bette knew and was happy. Tina broke loose and while the tips of their noses touched she said, Thats why were going to Nice tomorrow morning.
