“Bette, are you okay?” James asked.
“Yes thanks, why?”
“You just look like you’re walking strangely, did you hurt your leg or something?”
“Uh… no, I think… um… I think I slept funny on my hip…”
James creased his brow, “Okay… do you need some pain relief?”
“James, I’m fine, really, thank you.”
Bette walked into her office and sat in her chair and let out a big sigh, she managed to get out of that one, thank goodness, she just hoped that Tina wouldn’t be so perceptive when she got home.
She ascended the steps, excitement running through her as she opened the front door.
“T… I’m home…” she called.
“In here…” came the far away reply.
Bette walked toward the bedroom, happy that Tina was already in there, she could give her her surprise sooner rather than later.
“Hey babe…” Tina said as Bette walked toward her, “you’re home early…”
“Yeah, just had a couple of errands to run, so I thought I’d come home early… I’m uh… just going to change a minute…”
“Okay…, are you alright?” Tina noticed something strange about Bette’s behaviour.
“Of course, but I do have a surprise for you?” Bette said as she undressed.
“Oh yeah, what sort of surprise?”
Bette turned around to face Tina, her arms outstretched as she presented her surprise “Ta – da…”
Tina’s face dropped, her eyes became wide as her mouth opened, no sounds coming from her lips.
“Well, what do you think?”
Tina closed her mouth, she took a deep breath as she blinkered furiously, stepping closer to her girlfriend, “mmmm Bette…”
Bette smiled as Tina approached, having gained the reaction from her girlfriend that she had hoped for.
Tina’s fingers slid effortlessly over the surface, her smile becoming wider, “Oh my god, it’s so soft…”
Bette’s eye’s closed and her head dropped back as Tina explored her surprise.
Tina’s smile widened, the low moan rising in her chest escaped as the new sensations hit her senses, marvelling at how different it felt and looked.
Tina opened her eyes suddenly, a thought striking her, she leaned her head to one side, her eyes meeting Bette’s, she furrowed her brow as she voiced her thought, “will it be prickly when it grows back?”
