"We got it" Bette said happily before taking Tina in her arms and spinning her around, "Josephine wants me to hang her work for my next show"

Bette placed the blonde carefully back on her feet only for Tina to jump into her arms once more, wrapping her arms around Bette’s neck and holding her close. "Oh my God, Bette! That’s so great. Congratulations!"

"I owe it all to you" Bette beamed as she held Tina at arms length. Neither woman could bring themselves to fully break the embrace.

"Me?" Tina raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What did I do?"

"Josephine adores you. God, it was so hard to believe how difficult she had been over the last few weeks. Its like . . you just have this magic about you and she so obviously fell under your spell. She practically wanted to get started right now"

"Well I don’t know about magic" Tina teased, "But I’m glad I could help"

"I should put you on my staff" Bette chuckled.

"I don’t know if you could afford me" Tina offered playfully.

"Oh I know I can. I’m very . . generous when it comes to payment" Bette winked and just as before, Tina couldn’t help but think how sexy the sight was. She loved it when Bette winked at her.

They stood there for a moment, both women simply enjoying being in one another’s arms. Tina’s fingers lightly caressed Bette’s arms and she shivered as felt the brunette’s thumbs lightly stroking the fabric on her back. It was like a moment frozen in time, nothing felt more right.

"Do you wanna get out of here?" Bette asked timidly, her usual confidence suddenly gone. "I think there are some things we need to talk about"

"Are you sure?" Tina asked as her heart raced with excitement, "What about the rest of the dinner?"

"Jan can take care of it. To be honest, the only thing that really mattered was Josephine and now that that’s done, I trust that she can handle everything else. Besides, she’ll have James"

"That’s true" Tina nodded, "Okay"

"Great" Bette flashed the widest, sexiest smile and in that moment Tina’s heart started to beat even faster. "I’m just going to run to my office and grab my things. I’ll meet you out front in five minutes?"
