The silence between them had turned into awkwardness when they arrived back at the gallery. Neither knew exactly what to do. Tina could even see that Bette was slightly nervous.

Tina: I should go.

Bette: Yeah me too.

Tina: Ok. Ill call you and well make plans.

Bette: Great.

Tina jumped in her car and sped all the way home. She was replaying the evenings events in her head. The smell of Bettes musky perfume, her beautiful skin, her strong features. It was enough to drive even a supposed straight girl crazy. When Tina pulled up to her house she noticed something leaning against her door. She jumped out of the car and ripped open the brown paper wrapping. She couldnt believe her eyes, It was the painting. The one she stood in such awe of during the show. She needed to thank Bette. Tina picked up her cell phone and dialed 411.

Tina: Yes I need the address for a Bette Porter in Los Angles.

Tina: OK, Thank you.

Tina got in her car and headed up town. She arrived at Bettes just 20 minuets later.

She ran out of her car and stopped dead at Bette;s door.

Tina what are you doing? You could have just called her. Im sure a simple call would have sufficed

Before Tina could completety collect her thoughts the door swung open. Bette stood there in her white silk pajamas as Tina starred at her.

Bette: T, is everything ok.

Tina paused for a moment.

Tina: T, I like that.

Bette: Me too.

Bette let her head rest on the door frame.

The two starred at each other for an eternity.

Tina finally leaned in and placed the sweetest lightest kiss on Bettes soft lips. Bette wrapped her hands in Tinas hair and kissed Tina back with every ounce of strength she had. Both women were hungry for the others touch and it showed.

Bette pulled away first.

Bette: Tina

Tina: Wait let me, go first.

Bette: Ok.

Tina: I came here just to say thank you. I love that painting. I love it because the color strikes me. But now I love it because it reminds me of you.

Bette couldnt resist any longer. She pulled Tina in by her waist and drew her in for a deep passionate kiss. Tina moaned as soon as Bettes lips touched hers.

This time Tina pulled away.

Tina: I have to go now Bette.

Bette: Ok T.

Tina: Do you still want me to call?

Bette: Yes! I want you to call right away.

Tina: I will babe.

Bette: Babe..i like that.

Bette winked at Tina.

Bette: Get out of here before I cant stand it any longer and I drag you in here.

Tina took one more look at Bette and tried to capture every detail in her mind, she never wanted to forget a single thing.

Tina: Sweet Dreams

With that Bette watched Tina get into her car and pull away.

Both women knew they would sleep well tonight.
