She reached up to brush Bettes unruly morning hair out of her face before drawing her down for a kiss. Just a light one, but they both sighed at the contact.

I bet you really missed my morning breath, huh T? Bette couldnt keep the smile from her face.

You know, oddly enough, I have. Tina teased, pulling her back down to kiss her more deeply, opening her mouth to envelop her lips. Almost instantly, she could feel the passion growing again.

Tina ran her hands through the dark locks, keeping Bette right where she wanted her – attached to her lips.

Mmm, you feel so good, she murmured, in between kisses.

Just as things were getting interesting, they were interrupted by a loud banging at the front door, someone who didnt sound like they were going away.

*****, Bette cursed grumpily. Tina was equally reluctant to break they spell between them. Perhaps if they ignored it, whoever it was would go away. Tina swooped back in for another lip lock, to Bettes surprise and delight.

Tina! I know youre there, your car is outside. Come on darling, the children are waiting.

Bette wasnt surprised. If there was one person guaranteed to interrupt a serious snogging session it would be Helena.

Damn T, you didnt tell me you were doing something with her today, Bette complained, sitting up and feeling decidedly annoyed. Annoyed at Helena, annoyed at Tina, annoyed at those kids.

She rolled to her feet, searching around on the floor for any item of clothing that was within reach. She caught sight of her underwear lying on the floor under the bed.

Bette, I didnt make any plans with Helena for today. I dont know what shes doing here, Tina replied.

She felt Bettes disbelieving glare.

What? You think I would let an awkward situation like this happen?

I dont know T, maybe you forgot or something, Bette mumbled as she pulled up her not quite so ***** thong and grabbed her bra quickly putting it on, fumbling with the unusually awkward clasp.

Damn, it was Tinas! Typical that they both went for black and lacy last night. Now, how could she take it off without looking like a total fool. And how could she maintain her righteous indignation while wearing a bra, 4 cup sizes up?

Tinas sniggering cut short her dilemma.

I think youd better get over here and let me remove that, she laughed. Those maternity bras have extra hooks.

Tina, she said as seriously as she could while looking like a 10 year old girl playing dress up in her mothers closet. Whats going on? Seriously T, are you going out with her today?

Tina slid off the bed as elegantly as it was possible for a woman in her condition to do. Bettes eyes looked wounded, her shoulders slumped.

She tried to block out the noise Helena was making, and focus on Bette. Last night had been so promising. This morning had certainly been looking that way too.

Bette, I promise you, I had no idea she was coming round today. We didnt make any plans to meet, honestly. She looked purposefully into her lovers eyes. It was important for them to be able to trust each other again. To trust someone with your heart took a pretty giant leap, and Bette was looking quite fragile here.

Bette met her gaze, seeing that this was no deception. Tina never was the duplicitous type. That was more her gig.

So is she just ***** with us again T? She asked quietly.

I dont know. I guess she might have left a message on the machine, Tina admitted. I wasnt exactly thinking about checking my messages last night when we got in. Im so sorry Bette, Ill go get rid of her. Tina was turning towards the door when she felt Bettes hand on her arm.

Look T, if you want to go spend the day with Helena and the kids, why dont you, she said quietly. I, erm, I have to go into work for a bit today anyway.

She was a bad liar, Tina remembered.

Dont go anywhere, Ill be right back, she said, moving closer to give Bette a swift kiss. And take that damn bra off you idiot! They smiled at each other for a moment before Tina left the room.
