It was late in the night when Tina finally came home from work. She put her things down on the counter as she made her way to the couch, throwing herself onto the cushions in anger. Suddenly, Bette appeared from the hallway.

Bette: Bad day, T? (Holding a hamper of clothes with her other hand under her arm.) What happened?

Tina: Just fucking everything. (Motioning her hands in a whirl.) I don’t know.

     Tina got up from the couch, entering the kitchen as she looked for something to eat.

Bette: Hungry? (Being cautious of what she says, so as not to upset Tina any further.)

Tina: Babe, I just feel awful. (Whining as she her hands fell to her sides.) Just awful.

     Bette put the hamper down as she went to Tina and held her in her arms.

Bette: It’s okay. (Rubbing Tina’s back.) It’s been nine days. (Holding Tina close to her.) It’s hard on me too.

Tina: It’s not that. (Defensive as she pushes Bette away, turning to the fridge.)

Bette: Aww. (Gently teasing.) Someone’s just horny. (Smiling as Tina turned around.)

Tina: I am NOT horny. (Looking angry as Bette took a step towards her.)

Bette: It’s okay to feel that way. (Growing more serious the closer she got to Tina.)

Tina: Okay, this is not funny. (Leaning on the fridge as Bette stopped in her tracks.) You’re taking advantage of my state of mind.

Bette: T, we don’t have to do this. (Moving in to her again with an apologetic look.) It was just something he wanted us to try.

     Tina remained still, thinking about what Bette was saying. She allowed her mind to wander as Bette advanced toward the fridge.

Tina: But Bette – for us, we-

Bette: T, seriously. (Smiling as she removed Tina’s hair from her eyes.) Our relationship doesn’t need any work.

Tina: But-

Bette: No, T. All I need is you, and just to know that you love me with so much passion, you can’t live without me … (holding Tina’s head in her hands as her smile grew) that’s all I need to know.

     Tina looked up to Bette with hope of what she would say next.

Bette: I don’t think abstinence is the answer to our growing lust for one another. (Kissing Tina slowly and softly on her cheek.) I just want to be able to hold you in my arms again and not worry about the rules. I’ll never grow tired of you, T. I want you more and more everyday. (Smiling.)

Tina: I want you too. (Looking down.) I just thought we could last. (Laughing lightly on the last few words.)

     Bette looked to Tina with a smile.

Bette: What on earth (pause) were you thinking? (Smiling as she pulled Tina’s chin up with her fingers.)

Tina: I’m sorry, babe. (Looking up with a smile.)

Bette: See? There’s the smile I’ve been looking for. (Leaning into Tina, kissing her lips with a tenderness she hadn’t felt in a while.)

Tina: Where’s Angie?

Bette: Asleep. (Pressing her lips against Tina’s once again.)

     As their lips went to work, so did their hands. Bette put her hand on Tina’s back, holding her close as her other hand started to unbutton her white blouse. Tina smiled as she continued to kiss Bette and held onto her hips. After finishing with the buttons on Tina’s shirt, Bette turned her away as Tina became disoriented. Bette quickly pulled her back in towards her with force as Tina held onto her arms for stability.

Tina: Bette … (Moaning with pleasure.)

     Tina’s head fell back onto Bette’s shoulder as Bette pulled Tina’s blouse halfway down her arms, keeping them locked in place. With Tina in her control, she turned to Tina’s neck and kissed up to her ear, using her tongue and lips to make Tina lose control.

     Trying to move her arms up and failing, Tina just stood there taking it in as Bette moved her hands to Tina’s stomach. She hadn’t felt Tina’s warmth in far too long, and couldn’t believe she was finally able to. The whole ordeal seemed too good to be true.

Tina: Fuck me. (Whispering, as she wriggled her whole body, feeling tense in one particular place.)

Bette: No. (Softly whispering as she slid Tina’s shirt completely off.) I’m gonna make love to you tonight. (Holding Tina’s neck in place while she continues her trail of light kisses.)

Tina’s knees began to give in as Bette held her up.

Bette: I’m taking you to the bedroom. (Turning her back around to face her as she kissed her on the lips.)

Next part will posted really really soon.
