"So when’s the tournament?" Tina asked.

"In three hours," Bette answered, hoping that she could skip it to keep talking to Tina though their conversation was lulling them both to sleep. But Tina’s voice was comforting to her and she was already used to distinguishing it out of a group of people.

"Oh," Tina commented, wishing that she could have attended the event but was sad that she couldn’t because her mom had put her on lock down. She was still mad at catching them in bed the previous morning. She now had a set curfew and didn’t want to piss her mom off even more. If she wanted something between her and Bette to work out, she had to make sure that she won her mom’s approval first by being a perfect daughter.

"Yeah," Bette said.

The two ran out of words to say as they stared at the ground. Careful of choose their words to make the other not uncomfortable, they decided to stay quiet.

"Well you look good," Tina complimented, biting her lip. ‘Really good,’ Tina mentally said.

"Thanks," Bette smiled. She was proud that she could earn a compliment from Tina who was the most beautiful girl she had seen.

Tina twirled a few strands of her hair on one finger, embarrassed that she made Bette blush.

"You look really good too. Better than I look when I work up a sweat," Bette joked but seriously meant.

Tina took it another way and tried not to make her cheeks turn into mini tomatoes.

"What about your bus?" Bette said concerned while assuming the hitchhiker’s thumb pose in the direction of the closest stop.

"I can catch it later," Tina said, wanting this stolen moment with the brunette.

Bette couldn’t take staying away from her and stepped closer to Tina and held her hips. Shane had girls, Dana had laughter, Jenny had some crazy drug, and Alice had gossip as their addictions. Hers was starting to become Tina Kennard. Her hands easily molded into the curve of Tina’s hips and they sighed at the touch but groaned inwardly. It was scary how a simple touch made them feel complete. They knew that the closer they got, the more faster they spiraled into a whirlpool of drama that could ruin their lives, mostly Tina’s. But they wanted that to happen because by doing so, they feel deeper into their attraction for one another. Wasn’t there not a famous quote that said something along the lines of pain and pleasure equaling each other out. The same could say for the two terrified girls.
