“Why are you looking at me like that?”  Tina asked a smiling Bette. 

The brunette had just surprised her as she waited in the stands for Dana to finish practice.  For the past fifteen minutes the two had enjoyed each other’s company with small talk as they slowly got to know one another.

Bette allowed her smile to melt away as she looked intently into Tina’s light blue eyes.

“I’m trying to memorize your face.”  She said quietly. 

Even as a smile began to light up her face, Tina turned away from the intensity of Bette’s gaze in embarrassment.

“I um… should probably go… go meet Dana in the locker room…” Tina muttered as she reached for her backpack. 

However, before her hand was able to grab onto the strap her eyes were drawn to the olive skinned hand that had just taken a firm, but gentle hold of her wrist.

With one hand holding Tina’s wrist, Bette reached out with her free hand to gently brush some stray strands of Tina’s golden hair behind her ear.  A quiet moment overtook the two young women before Tina turned her head to meet the biggest, brownest, eyes she had ever seen. 

“You’re beautiful.  I’ve wanted to say that since the moment I laid eyes on you.  And now I want to kiss you.  Please.  I need to kiss you.”  Bette whispered those last six words in the softest of voices. 

Tina heard her perfectly and before either were aware of moving bodies, their lips were touching in a soft first kiss.  After a moment of simply touching lips Bette redirected her own lips to softly capture Tina’s bottom lip, slipping her tongue out to gently trace its’ smoothness.  The tinniest moan escaped Tina before she found herself grabbing a fistful of Bette’s crisp dress shirt to pull the brunette in closer as she deepened the kiss.  Bette moaned in response and the hand that had been holding onto Tina’s wrist slipped around to the small of the blonde’s back and Bette tilted her head slightly to the side as the kiss grew in passion. 

Tina was in a place of heat as she kissed Bette back.  She’d never felt such a rush simply from kissing someone.  She’d never thought she would be kissing a girl!
