Alice sat in the table in shock while other conversations resumed between everyone. Max and Tom offered the couple their congratulations before they headed out. Max was very happy that he would have Bette and Tina back in the region. He still didn’t know what he was doing with Rose and it helped that Bette and Tina had Angelica. 

Helena asked Bette whether she still wanted her to contact the new gallery owner because at least she’d have a job during her pregnancy and maybe she could run things from home, depending on the position he would give her. Bette agreed and said it would be something to look into.

Tina was overfilled with joy as the two reached their hotel door. She couldn’t believe everything that transpired over the few short days they had been back in Los Angeles.  As Bette walked into the room behind Tina, Tina spun around and pinned the dark brunette against the closed door. Tina kissed her beauty with an insatiable hunger. She knew that they both had to get ready. Everyone had planned on dinner and then a visit to Helena and Kit’s club "Hit". Bette welcomed the kiss and entered Tina’s mouth with her own tongue. She loved how Tina could bring her to her knees.  

"We’ve got to get ready," Tina breathed.

Bette smiled and suddenly picked Tina up and threw her over her should and sprinted towards the bed in the middle of the hotel room. She threw Tina on the bed playfully and straddled her hips as she tickled her sides and stomach.

Tina screeched in laughter as she could barely breathe from the sudden movement and continuous tickling.  She squirmed beneath the solid brunette but knew that regardless of the fight she’d put up, she’d never set her goddess off balance. Bette grabbed Tina’s wrists and pinned them above her head, allowing her body to fall on Tina’s gently.

"I love you," she said in a whisper against Tina’s moistened pink lips.

"Mmmm. How much?" Tina playfully questioned.

Bette leaned down and kissed her angel tenderly, allowing moans to escape her throat to show her lover just how much she adored her. Tina lost all sense of where the conversation was supposed to be going. Every time Bette kissed her, it was like she was rocketed off to some unknown universe. Bette’s kiss was her addiction.
