“So this is it,” Bette looked up at the wood cabin with a long porch with a swing on the front. Bette and Tina had spent the week hanging out at the planet and going dancing and decided that they should go away together on the weekend.

            “Yup this is it!” said Tina. She leaned over and kissed Bette suddenly on the lips completely taking her breath away. She smiled and pulled away looking straight into her eyes, “I’m glad we get to spend the weekend just you and me.” Bette parked the car in the dirt driveway as Tina popped open the door and jumped out. She breathed in the air and looked straight up at the stars, “Mmmmdoesn’t it smell wonderful?” asked Tina.

            Bette popped open the trunk and pulled out their bags as she watched Tina run around the porch and look around the corner of the house for a key. Bette noticed the screens on the windows and old welcome mat on the floor of the wooden boards. The cabin had not been painted in years. Tina stopped dancing on the porch and glanced down at Bette staring up at the cabin.

            “Yes, Bette, god, don’t look at me like that, I’m sorry the cabin looks old but you know, my dad built it, anyways I thought would like this better than camping, if it were up to me, we would’ve gone car camping on top of a gorgeous mountain so we could wake up in a flower field nestled near the redwoods,” said Tina in a mocking tone as she laughed at Bette’s glance at the cabin.

“We’d be sleeping in a car?”

“No, I mean, instead of backpacking, we’d sleep in tents.”

“On the ground?”

“On air mattresses that we blow up”

“How thick are these air mattresses?”

“Nevermind Bette, we’re here next to an amazing lake. Come on. I’ll make us some tea and I can show you around,” said Tina. She took Bette’s hand and led her up the stairs. The first board squeaked very loud and Bette jumped. Tina kissed Bette again and pushed open the door. Bette stared at very large antlers and a large deer with beady eyes jutting out of the wall right in front of her. She shuddered and tried to concentrate on the woven matt on the ground. Tina took off her jacket and hung it up and helped Bette out of hers, she rubbed Bette’s arms until Bette felt warmer and took one hand and brushed the hair from behind her ears. Bette looked down at a large couch with gray cushions and wooden arms in front of a fireplace. Tina wrapped her arms around Bette and pushed her towards the kitchen. Tina used one hand to caress her nipple slowly as Bette surveyed the yellow linoleum and pea green cabinets. She shook her head and closed her eyes and kissed Tina back. Tina pulled her into the master bedroom and stopped right in front of the large bed. She pulled her around and looked and her and kissed her soundly. She pushed her back and Bette fell onto the bed. A large cloud of dust rose from the comforter as Tina tried to straddle her and kiss her. Bette started coughing.
