Obeying Tina’s demanding eyes .. Bette continued .. “Jenny , Jody and Kit are the only ones who know about Kelly’s visit besides Kelly and me …. Jenny is gone .. Jody won’t talk to you and even if she did somehow tell you, you wouldn’t believe her .. Kit … well .. she believes me .. and as long as she knows I didn’t do anything she won’t middle .. and Kelly .. you know I can easily convince her not to tell you”

Convinced by Bette’s argument .. Tina’s features softened .. she even accepted Bette’s hand when she reached out for her .. squeezing it gently ..

"Tina .. here I am .. telling you .. my partner IS attracted to me .. she even came on to me .. and yes .. I was in love with her .. but that was a million years ago .. I don’t have any feelings for her .. and although I can’t deny she’s attractive .. I’m not attracted to her .. she’s my only chance to own a gallery .. and I love the gallery .. it makes me so happy .. but .. you make me happier .. so .. you think you can deal with her being my business partner?”

Tina couldn’t help but smile .. and seeing her smiling infected Bette and forced her to smile ..

"yes .. if you’re going to be this honest all the time” the blonde stated .. laughing ..

Relived .. the brunette stretched her arms and embraced the blonde with a hug ..

"wait!”

"what?!” said the panicking brunette .. pulling herself back in concern .. her tensed face only relaxed when she saw the playful look on Tina’s eyes ….

"EVERY girl who hits on you! .. how many are there honey?!” said Tina .. raising her eyebrow …

"I don’t know .. only ONE of them I care about”

"yeah?” said the blonde satisfied by the answer ..

"yeah” whispered the brunette .. leaning forward to kiss her lips .. and embrace her again ..

"I guess that’s one of the cons of having a hot girlfriend” teased the blond …

"the only con .. in many .. many pros” whispered the brunette in the blonde’s ear .. before taking part of her ear lope in her mouth ..

"are you sure?” said the blonde .. after recovering from the wave of desire that her lover’s mouth set off ..

"yes .. I should know .. my girlfriend is hot .. so so hot” the brunette whispered .. causing the blonde to open her mouth .. and moan .. taking the offered chance .. the brunette kissed her .. letting her tong wander inside her lover’s mouth …

Melting into the kiss .. Tina lost her self in her desire .. only to snap out of it when Bette pulled back .. resting her forehead over hers .. trying to regain control of her own desire ..

"are you ok babe?” Tina asked .. petting Bette’s cheek with her hand .. worrying about the pain and sadness that suddenly appeared on her face ..

"yeah .. i’m ok .. let’s just go to sleep .. it’s been a long day”

Obeying the unexpected request .. Tina .. who was now setting in Bette’s lap .. pulled herself back .. stood up .. headed to the bathroom .. and without looking back announced .. “I’m gonna go change”

Coming out of the bathroom .. she found Bette lying on the bed .. already dressed in her pajamas .. and as soon as she joined her .. she was held tight from the back by Bette’s strong , protective arms .. followed by a choked whisper “I love you T”

Wanting this long day to end .. Tina replied .. without asking any questions .. “I love you Bette”
