"Why are you up? You should be sleeping."

"I was asleep, but I missed you."

"Back to bed young lady, you’re exhausted you need sleep."

"Come with me."

"I’ll lay with you, but I won’t sleep with you," she said and I frowned, "it’s hard for me to fall asleep with someone in my bed."

She led me back to bedroom. I sighed contently at the feeling she was giving me. I didn’t want this to end. She pulled the covers on the bed back. The sheet was covered in blood, evidence of my lost virginity was splattered all over.

"Well, that’s gonna give Lara something to think about," she said pulling the sheets off and tossing them to the side. I got into the bed and she spooned me from behind and held me close.

"Sleep."

I woke to the sunlight blanketing my body. Los Angeles looked so amazing in the sunrise. I was surprised to find Bette still with me. Her body wrapped around mine, her breathing soft. So much for not being able to sleep with anyone. I turn over and face her. I kiss her lips, and she lets out a small moan, I kiss her again and she moves. Suddenly her eyes flutter open and she smiles and holds me close.

"Sleep well?"

"Very."

"Come on baby, let’s get something to eat, I’m starving."

"I can’t imagine why," I say and she smiles.

We walk out to the kitchen and Lara is already up and making breakfast. It smelled so amazing. Dana appeared out of no where, whispered into Bette’s ear then walked away. Bette offered me a seat at the breakfast bar and she sat next to me.

Bette had what she called her usual veggie omlette and fruit. I took some eggs, bacon and a bagel. I was famished and I attacked my plate much to Bette’s delight. We both ate in a contented silence.

"How do you feel this morning," she asked once we were done.

"Sore. Really sore."

"Good."

"Good?"

"Yes, the pain only gets better from here."

"Now I’m worried."

"Don’t be. Come on, let’s have a bath, you’ll feel better."

She drew us a bath, with the perfect amount of bath salts and bubbles. She stripped me down and I blushed. After everything we did last night, I was still shy. I covered myself and she took my hands and brought me to her.
