“Bette I don’t want you to give me any explanations cause you don’t have to… what I’m trying to say here is that you make me feel this things, this weird… things and again half the time I don’t know how to handle them.”

“I know what you mean, I was just trying to tell you that I never wanted to come here with anyone so that is why I never had anyone to bring here… but you… you also make me feel this things I’m not really used to feel and… I don’t know exactly how to handle them either…”

“I enjoy being around you.” Tina said while it was her turn to take Bette’s hand on her own.

“And I love being around you… so let’s make a pact… let’s just take it easy and stop rationalizing what this all is… or what it may mean or where is it going… I want to take the time to explore all of this… with you.” Bette’s words were hitting home for Tina, she was melting.

“You… what have I done to deserve you…” Tina was shocked at those words escaping her lips.

“Well… I have been asked that question but never from probably the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen… and most certainly not holding her hand and about to have a great dinner by the ocean with her.”

Tina released a small giggle.

“T… let’s just be patient ok? God knows I’m not the most patient person on this earth but I don’t have a choice when it comes to you.”

Dinner was shortly served and their conversation started flowing in many different directions. It still blew their minds how they were able to overcome those heavy moments of confessing what was in their hearts and take it from there and keep on going, talking about everything and laughing about everything.

After dinner, came the dessert and after dessert came the bill that of course Bette wouldn’t let Tina pay for.

“Oh God I’m so full.” Bette said once they had reached the car, she felt her belly was going to explode.

“Yeah, I can hardly breathe. But that chocolate volcano was amazing…”

“Well you tell me about it… you ate it all… I could hardly taste it…”

“Ohhh really? I distinctively remember you eating most of it.”

“Mmm nope, you must be confused with all that sugar running through your veins…”

“Oh I see… then I don’t understand how that huge peace of chocolate got to the corner of your mouth…” Tina said playfully.

Bette quickly reached for her lips in order to wipe it off.

“Here?” Bette asked pointing at the left side of her mouth.

“Mmm no.”

“Here?” Now it was the right side’s turn.

“Come here, let me help you with that.” Tina said while she placed her left hand on the side of Bette’s face, pulling her into a kiss to erase the imaginary chocolate off Bette’s lips.
