And so the conversation flew even easier than before, no awkward silences, just silences that Bette would use much to her advantage to stare into those big beautiful eyes, or to give her that million watts smile of her, which of course made Tina melt… over and over…

Bette was answering all of Tina´s questions, which made her think of how amazing this moment was. How simple and easy was to be around this marvelous woman. She didn´t feel nervous, she just felt excited, and challenged but most important interested, and she felt like she was interesting to Tina.

Bette tried very hard to remember when was the last time she felt like this in the company of a beautiful woman, because altough Tina´s beauty was unique to her, she had her share of beautiful blonde woman… as well as brunettes and redheads… but still, she could not recall feeling so close to anyone, being so intoxicated and affected by someone that you loose notion of time and space, and the world just reduces to the distance between your bodies.

Yes, Bette was feeling the need to make that distance shorter. She wanted to have a taste of Tina´s body against her own, but that idea also scared her a little, because she inmediately thought of what would happen if she could never let Tina go…

They had been sitting in the sand for the last hour, enjoying the other´s company like if it was the last time they were gonna see each one another, until Bette looked at her watch just out of curiosity.

“Wow, it´s 2 am.”

“What? 2 am” said a very surprised Tina.

“Do you want to go back?”

“No… but we should… do you… wanna go back?”

“No, but it´s true, we should… besides if Peggy said she´ll see us tomorrow for breakfast… mark my words… she WILL see us for breakfast”

They both released a giggle as Bette was stanging up first, in order to help Tina do the same, offering her hand for Tina to take. Tina looked up at Bette´s sparkling eyes… ohh she was needing that contact, so she softly grabbed Bette´s hand… and once she was up on her feet again, she found herself stepping right into Bette´s space… that space she had fantasized to step into for so quite some time now.

They were inches apart and still holding Tina´s hand on her own Bette put their entiwned fingers close to her chest. Maybe it was her way of showing Tina how hard her heart was pounding, how she made her feel, specially now that they were both so close, and she had to… how could she not… how could Bette ever resist not to kiss Tina right then and there… she felt compelled…

Bette closed her eyes and slowly started leaning making the short distance between their mouths shorter, but she stopped at the gates of her objective… she needed to know if Tina wanted her… if she was willing to finish what she had just started and complete that inch or two that were now separating them…

This made Tina´s insides melt even more with desire, proving Bette that she wanted to be kissed by her… more than anything.

The kiss was gentle, Bette slowly brushed the tip of her tongue against Tina´s upper lip… begging for permission, something that was not denied to her for long. And even though their tongues were meeting for the first time ever, they both felt they had done this coordinated, elegant, slow and yet sexy dance in more than one occasion.

After what seemed an eternity Bette broke the kiss when her lungs were facing a complete lack of oxygen, something that Tina was experiecing as well.

Bette was overwhelmed, she never felt such an intensity, such a conection with just a kiss. She felt dizzy, and yet she was yearning for more…

Tina´s kness couldn´t stop shaking, she needed to lay against something, and the first thing she found was Bette´s body, hiding her face on Bette´s neck, which made impossible for her to read Tina´s reaction…
