Tina leaned forward to give Bette one last kiss, then rolled off her lover and stood up.  Once her feet were safely planted on the ground, she reached her hand out to her lover to help her to her feet.  They walked hand in hand to the bathroom.

“Oh God, what did you do to me?”

“Do you really need me to answer that question?”

“No…my body hurts…”

“Poor baby…A hot shower will help us a bit…”

“Oh, so you are sore too…eh?”

“After what we did last night, I wouldn’t have expected anything else…Babe, you were on fire.”

“haha so were you T.  It was fucking brilliant.”

Bette turned on the water as Tina followed her into the shower. 

“God, I love this shower.  It felt so good showering in here yesterday!”  With a smirk on her face, Tina added… “Now though, the scenery is much better.”

Bette coyly replied…“Oh, you like what you see?”

“No, I love what I see” That being said, Tina pushed Bette back up against the shower wall and covered her lips with a passionate kiss.  Instinctively, Bette allowed Tina’s insistent tongue to roam throughout her mouth.  “Oh Bette, what you do to me, I need you… now…”

“T…ummm…oh babe…me too, but we gotta meet the girls…”

Between kisses, Tina responded…“It’s ok babe, we can be quick…” She then moved her assault to Bette’s neck.  When she sucked on an incredibly sensitive area for Bette, her mocha skinned lover gave her all the encouragement she needed with her deep moan. 

As Tina continued her assault, Bette repositioned her legs so that her thigh was resting on Tina’s center.  Although their intimate moment had just commenced, Bette felt the warm liquid seeping from T’s center.  It amazed and delighted her how quickly Tina became aroused.

“God….T…you are so wet…”

“I know baby…I need you!”

Tina began to rotate her hips such that her core was grinding impatiently against Bette’s thigh.  Her desire for more contact with her lover became unbearable, she let her hand wander down to Bette’s pulsating axis, gliding her fingers between her outer lips, she was soon met with a sensually warm sensation.

“Oh babe…you are drenched. I just love how wet you get for me.”

Tina easily slid two fingers into Bette as her thumb began massaging her clit…

Bette’s hips began undulating uncontrollably in response…“Oh…fuck…that feels…ohhhh…God!”

Bette’s passion for Tina became overwhelming, with her last ounce of conscious thought, she increased the pressure of her thigh against Tina’s center, needing more intimate contact, she eased her fingers between her thigh and her lover’s center and began to lovingly massage her throbbing nub.  This increased contact had the desired effect on Tina.  Engulfed with desire, her need for Bette became almost unbearable, it was as though her entire existence hinged on this urgency, this compulsion for more.  Her free hand wrapped behind Bette and pulled her even closer, increasing the resistance that her pounding center met as it sought relief against Bette’s thigh as she introduced a third finger into Bette’s core and increased the strength of her thrusts into her lover.  She felt her lover’s velvet walls begin to contract around her fingers. 

Bette knew that Tina was close to ascending into a whole new realm of oblivion.  She had an urgency to come with her lover who needed a little more encouragement to shoot into this impending realm of ecstasy.  She took her free hand from the shower wall and began to lovingly caress Tina’s breast, manipulating her nipple between her fingers, she took her lover’s lips into her possession and thrust her tongue deep into Tina’s mouth. 

These actions were all it took to tip both women into another orbit of passion, the place where only they existed and no one else mattered.  Both women losing control of their legs slowly slid down the wall of the shower to the ground. 

Breathlessly rested against the shower wall, their breathing slowly returned to normal as the warm water rained down upon them.

Bette soon got the energy to wrap her arms around Tina and softly caress her back… “I can’t believe that I have you in my life again.”

Tina raised her head from Bette’s chest and looked into the deep pooling eyes of her soul mate..“Believe it”

Bette dreamily responded…“God, I am so lucky to have you…”

With a smirk on her face, Tina replied…“Hey…I think that is my line…”

“Yea, sorry… couldn’t resist…her index finger lightly traced Tina’s jaw line as she was mesmerized by her beloved’s beauty…alright, as much as this pains me to move, we gotta go get our little girl.” 

Tina slowly slid off of Bette and got to her feet.  She then reached down and helped Bette to her feet.  Bette took the sponge from the shower caddy and applied shower gel, she then proceeded to gently wash the landscape of Tina’s body…

“Sorry, you’re just going to have to smell like me until we get all your stuff.”

“There’s no one I’d rather smell like…”

Once Bette was finished washing Tina’s body, Tina took the sponge and cleaned her lover as Bette washed Tina’s hair.  They worked gently together, to clean the body of the one that they worshipped.  The bodies that they would never take for granted again. 

They soon finished washing each other and got out of the shower.  Just as in the shower, they took turns drying each other off.  There was a sense of reverence to their actions.  They knew that life would not always be so rose-colored.  They knew that they would go through difficult times.  They knew that there would be fights and times where they would just want to strangle one another.  But at this particular moment, they were in awe at the gift they had been given, the chance to have their lives back.

They quickly dressed, both wearing articles of Bette’s clothing…

Tina was in the bathroom, putting the finishing touches on her hair and make-up as Bette was in the bedroom adorning some jewelry…“Babe, we need to go by the apartment and get some of my things…. You are going to start running out of clothes soon…”

“Yea, ok, let’s stop over there after we get done at The Planet”

Walking out of the bathroom…“Ok, sounds good…ready babe?”

Bette turned smiling at Tina…“Yea, let’s go get our daughter.”

Bette and Tina hurried to The Planet, they walked to the entrance hand in hand…

Bette halted and turned to Tina…“Ready to reintroduce ‘Bette and Tina to WeHo?”

Tina smiled, lent in, gave her lover a light kiss… “Yea, let’s do it.”

With vigor in their steps, they entered The Planet and halted hand in hand in the entrance.  Their arrival had garnered the attention of all the customers.  Many people looked at them with questioning glances.  Bette turned her eyes to Tina, wiggled her eyes, and before her lover knew what was happening, Bette pulled her into a deep and passionate kiss.  Her tongue easily found it’s way into Tina’s mouth, finally pulling away, Bette moved her lips to Tina’s ear… “Well, if anyone was wondering, now they know for sure…”

Tina was dumbfounded…completely disregarding all the looks and smiles they were receiving, Bette led Tina to the table where their friends were all quietly sitting, watching the scene play out before them…

As usual, Alice was first to speak…“God, Porter…I didn’t think you were one for public displays of affection…but, that is two days in a row…”

With a smirk, Bette replied…“Just thought I would let everyone know that Tina here is no longer fair game, and if they try to go after her, they are going to have to deal with the wrath of Porter.”

Tina, who had finally found her voice again… “Yea, we belong to each other…she raises her voice and looks around… did you all hear that?”

In the background, they could hear muffled yeah’s and a few laughs.  Tina turned to Bette and gave her a sweet smile.  Then they continued to sit down at the table with their friends.  Once they were seated, Angelica jumped from Shane’s lap over to Bette’s and gave her a tight squeeze.  After welcoming her mamma B, she moved over to her mommy.  The group gave their orders to the server and then they turned their attention to conversation…

Although it was slightly uncharacteristic of Shane she couldn’t help but ask…“So… how did your …. discussion go?”

The color immediately rose to Bette and Tina’s faces as though they had been caught right in the middle of the act.  They looked at each other, and then Tina turned to Shane…

“Enlightening”

Then it was Bette’s turn…

“Wonderful”

“Life altering”

“Mind blowing”

“Orgasmic”

Alice was amazed that her friends were being so vocal…“Alright, alright you two…geez, there are children in the room.”

Brunch passed with light conversation.  Everyone was still reeling over the events of the previous evening.  Bette and Tina couldn’t get enough of each other.  More often than not, they were caught by a very boisterous Alice that they were making googly eyes at each other and that she might be sick…fortunately for everyone at the table, Alice’s gastrointestinal system remained intact and there were no sprints to the restroom. 

“Alright guys, Tina and I have got to get a few things done today.  Thanks for watching Angie last night Shane…”

“My pleasure”

Turing her attention to Alice…“And… Alice, Tina and I came up for a punishment for you on our way here.  Because you screwed with our phones, you owe us 5 free nights of babysitting before we have to ask you nicely.”

“You call that a punishment?  And why the hell am I getting punished?  I helped you two idiots see what was right in front of you…”

“We were well on our way before your little intervention…”

“Fine, it’s not like it is actually a punishment anyways… I love my itty bitty earth daughter…now speaking to Angelica in a baby voice… Yes I do, uhhuh.. Auntie Alice loves Angie…ohh pretty baby….”

Tina interjected…“Ok, that’s good Al….turning her attention to Bette… “Babe, I am going to take Angelica to the restroom really quick and get her washed up.  She appears to have gotten very sticky.”

“Yea, ok, I am going to go say good bye to Kit.”

Bette started walking towards the front counter as Tina started walking back to the restrooms.  As she started down the hall, she met Kit who was coming out from her office…

“Hey baby girl… Hey boo!”

“Hey Kit, Bette was just looking for you….”

Bette looked up from the ground as she neared the front counter and was taken aback by the person standing directly in front of her…

“Oh Shit” She thought…why today, of all the days in the fucking world, WHY TODAY?

“Hey Bette, I was hoping I might catch you here.”

Kit and Tina both turned around to see Bette engaged in a conversation with a dark skinned Brunette…

Tina uttered the response going through her head…“Fucking hell…”

TBC…
