At seven oclock on the dot Bette walked out of the gallery to find a slightly disheartened Tina waiting for her.

Hey baby Bette leant through the window and kissed her before getting in the car.

Hey Tinas response was unenthusiastic.

Whats up? Bette asked as they drove away.

Nothing

Dont lie to me T. No matter what the problem is, you always need to tell me

Can we at least wait til we get home?

Fine

And with that they completed the rest of the journey in silence. When they arrived at Bettes house she dumped her stuff and poured them both a glass of wine before joining Tina on the sofa.

So talk to me T

Ok, well I got a call from my parents today Tina refused to make eye contact with Bette.

Uh huh Bette leant back and gave Tina some space.

Apparently theyve spoken to Eric she took a long drink and they now know that were no longer together

Well youre not. How can them knowing be so bad? They had to find out sometime Bette placed a hand on Tinas back.

They want to know why

Oh Bette slowly rubbed Tinas back.

I wanted to tell them, really I did. But I just couldnt. How can I tell my parents that everything they thought they knew about me isnt true? Tina turned to Bette desperately.

Not everythings changed. Youre still the same person. You just fell in love with a woman, thats all

An incredibly beautiful woman Tina kissed Bette softly.

It doesnt mean youre any different. I loved you when you were straight Bette seemed to wince at the word and I still love you now youre not

Tina laughed I should hope so too!

Bette opened her lags and Tina lay back between them; her head rested on Bettes chest and Bettes chin leant on her head.

You dont have to tell anyone anything until youre ready Bette kissed the top of Tinas head.

I know baby, its just their fingers laced together.

What?

Will I ever be ready? I dont feel like I can ever tell them

Everyone goes through this T. Its a sad fact of life that everyone presumes youre straight until you tell them differently. It might seem impossible, but people generally respect you for who you are

I dont care about anyone else, its just my parents. I have no idea what their views are. What if they disown me? Tinas face was panic-stricken.

Baby, youre their daughter, how could they?

Well what about your parents?

Ohwellmy Dad, he knows but he chooses to pretend he doesnt

There you go then

He still sees me, he just never mentions my sexuality. Would it be the end of the world if thats how your parents reacted? Bette stroked Tinas hair.

I guess not

And chances are theyll react better than that anyway

When I tell them will you be there?

Are you sure you dont wanna see them alone?

God no Tina took both glasses and put them down. She turned so her legs were round Bettes waist and they were facing each other I want them to see the reason for mychoice. Maybe theyll fall for you like I did

Now that might be a little weird T Bette grinned.

You know what I mean

Tina cupped Bettes face and pulled her into a long kiss. Their tongues brushed together as they pulled their bodies close. Their ***** pressed together and both women moaned.

So youll come?

Pretty soon I hope Bette rasped.

I was talking about to see my parents! Tina swatted her playfully.

I know Bette stuck out her tongue of course I will, Ill do whatever you want

Does that apply now, too?

Mmm Bette pulled Tina down on top of her so they were lying on the sofa.

Tinas hands began to roam over Bettes body. She lifted her shirt and licked her stomach while her hands moved to massage her *****.

So whendoyou wannago? Bette breathed.

Soon Tina was licking her way down Bettes abdomen.

Namethe dayand Illbethere Bettes head hung back in pleasure.

Next weekend. Well spend a couple of days there if thats ok?

Perfectoh god T! Bette moaned as Tina started to unzip her fly.

UmmBette? Tina had partially pulled down Bettes trousers.

Yeah?

Im not really sure what Im doing Tina confessed.

Youre doing fine baby. Just do to me…what youd want done to you

Tina looked at Bettes body laid beneath her. God it was incredible – she grew wet just looking at it. What shed want done to her. That was easy. She smiled up at Bette and moved down between her thighs.
