Love and Affection Chapter 6

Tina and Bette got ready for bed.  Tina was dragging her ass to the shower and threw an old soccer jersey to Bette to sleep in.  Tina was nervous and happy that Bette had decided to stay.  Their talk had not gone as how Tina had planned, but she was able to air out some feelings and demons in her head about Eric and what she felt for Bette.  Bette was just glad that there may be a chance connecting with Tina for once alone and no one else around, just them alone in a room.

Bette brushed her teeth and washed her face, as she walked to couch to browse a magazine.  To no surprise to Bette, it was a soccer magazine focusing on what to new cleat (boot) to buy or what team is kicking butt.  Bette was somewhat nervous as to what the evening may become.  The hurt in Tina’s eyes made Bette want to reach out to her and at the same time, Tina showed her defiance to want to not show her vulnerable side.  A side that Bette too knew well and did not talk about her demons either.

“Bette?  Where you at?”  Bette was still in deep thought on the couch.  Tina adored the sight of Bette in her soccer jersey and reading her soccer mag.  Tina stood at the edge of the couch smiling at Bette.

“Wow, can I take a picture of this?  A beautiful woman in my high school soccer jersey and reading a soccer mag, just simply fucking hot.”  Tina stared at Bette with weepy eyes.  She had looked tired and at the same time she was flirting with Bette.  Bette pulled her on top of her on the couch and stroked her wet hair.  Tina was wearing short shorts and a soccer tee.  Bette loved the smell of Tina’s lavender scented soap and held her close to her.  She could tell Tina was falling asleep by her breathing.

“T?  Come on babe, lets get you to bed.”  Bette kissed Tina’s brow and looked at her.  Tina was practically asleep and groaned.

“ugh, fine…just a sec.”  Tina looked up and saw gentle brown eyes staring back at her.

“Bette?”

“Yea?”
