"Why? Want a repeat of this morning?" Tina asked playfully, winking to add to the tease.

"Something like that" Bette teased back with a sexy smile, the desire flashing in her eyes heating Tina’s body to another degree. "I want you to have dinner with me"

The bright smile that spread across Tina’s face was enough to melt the brunette’s heart, "You mean like a date?"

"Yeah" Bette smiled wide before a bit of uncertainty passed through her, "Is that okay?"

Bette had her answer before Tina so much as nodded, the loving look in the blonde’s hazel eyes assuaging any fears.

"More than okay"

"Okay. Good" Bette’s smile widened even more as she finally found the strength to open the front door, the only thing motivating her was that she would see Tina later on in the evening. "Pick you up at 7?"

Tina nodded and leaned up for another kiss, intending to make it one that would help them make it through the day. She fisted the front of Bette’s dress and tunneled her free hand into the brunette’s soft curls, kissing her slowly but oh so incredibly deep.

"Jesus" Bette breathed when their lips parted, her eyes still closed as she swallowed. "You’re gonna kill me"

Tina smiled and tucked a loose curl behind her lover’s ear, "I’ll see you later"

"Yeah" Bette returned the smile, "Can’t wait"

With that she gave the blonde one final kiss and exited the house before she was tempted to do more, eager as well as excited to get through the day.

"Are you nervous?"

Bette and Tina glanced at each other before laughing at having said the same sentence at the same time. It had been a quiet ride to the restaurant and both women had been ready to break the ice, the obvious question in front of both their minds.

"A little" Tina answered at the same time Bette said, "No". The blonde shot her a look, raising an eyebrow in challenge. She didn’t believe the brunette one bit, especially considering the way Bette had been wringing her hands around the steering wheel.
