“Not really.  This is nice.  I like having you this close to me.”

Tina leans forward and kisses Bette quickly on the cheek.  “Me too.”

They walk a few more minutes then head back to the blanket.  Bette lowers Tina to the ground.  They sit down and eat the dinner that Bette brought for them.

The sun starts to set over the ocean and they sit there watching it.  Tina shivers a little, as the temperature starts to drop.

“Come here,” Bette tells her and motions for her to come sit between her legs.  Tina scoots over and places her back against Bette’s chest.  Bette grabs the other blanket and wraps it around them both.  “Better?”

“Much.”  Tina snuggles in closer to Bette.  Bette places her chin on Tina’s left shoulder and nuzzles her cheek against Tina’s.

“I love you,” she whispers in Tina’s ear.

Tina turns her head to kiss Bette on the cheek.  “I love you too.”

They continue to watch the sunset, as they hold each other close. 

Long after the sun has gone down, they are still sitting there enjoying this time together.  “T?”

“Hmmm.” 

“You comfortable?  Warm enough?” Bette asks.

“Perfect,” Tina whispers.

“I’d like to talk to you about something.”

“Sure B, what’s up?”

“Well Sam and I had a talk this afternoon …”

“Really?” Tina scrunches her brow imagining that and giggling at her.

“Yes.  We did,” Bette responds and tries to pout.

“I’m sorry baby, go ahead.”  Tina runs her hands over Bette’s arms that are

encircling her waist.

Bette pulls one arm away from holding Tina and fishes something out of her pocket.  She holds a keychain with a single key on it in front of Tina.  “T, would you like to move in with me?”

Tina looks at the keychain in Bette’s hand.  The keychain itself is gold with large black lettering that reads ‘Tina’s keys’.  Tina fights back the tears in her eyes.  “I don’t know what to say.”

“Well, I was hoping you’d say yes,” Bette tells her.

Tina takes the key from Bette’s hand.  “Yes.”  She turns her head to kiss Bette, as she raises her left arm behind her head to pull Bette’s face closer to hers.  They continue to kiss and hold each other for the next few hours.
