Bette couldn’t help but stare at Tina as she spoke, admiring not only her beauty but the way she so easily charmed the supposed difficult artist. Tina was amazing not that Bette had thought otherwise but the blonde still managed to wow the brunette.

Bette’s eyes latched onto Tina’s lips and the way they so gracefully moved with each word uttered, her mind drifting back to their almost kiss. She had been so close to tasting those lips again, only one word replayed in her head. Soon.

Her cheeks heated and another smile tugged at her lips at the thought of kissing Tina. Slowly, sensually, passionately.

Bette knew that when the time came, there would be no interruptions. She would make sure of it.

After another bout of laughter, Tina excused herself to use the restroom. She placed a hand on Bette’s shoulder as she stood up from the table, fully gaining the brunette’s attention. Bette’s eyes immediately went to Tina’s hand before proceeding to watch the blonde make her way out of the room.

"Oh my" Josephine laughed as she wiped a stray tear from her eye, "I haven’t laughed like that in ages. That girl of yours is something else, Bette. How ever do you keep up with her?"

"Well she keeps me on my toes that’s for sure" Bette winked and took a sip of her wine.

"How long have you two been dating?" Josephine asked, her vibrant grey eyes shining with intrigue.

"Oh we-we’re not together" Bette stammered as she shook her head furiously.

"That’s a shame. She’s really an amazing woman, Bette. Maybe you should change that" Josephine winked.

Bette let out a breath of laughter before taking a sip from her wine.

Believe me, Josephine. I’m working on it.

"So anyway" Josephine spoke up and cut into Bette’s thoughts, "I want to talk to you about my contract"

Tina had been making her way back from the bathroom when she saw a wide smiling Bette making her way over. Her strides were long and hurried, her arms outstretched for no one other than the blushing blonde. It was obvious she had gotten some good news and Tina couldn’t wait to share it with her.
