Bette sits on her couch staring blankly at the wall in front of her. Sitting diagonally to Bette, is Kit with a serious look of concern on her face.

You have to talk to someone about it, baby girl, Kit said awaiting some response but Bette remains motionless. Kit had never seen her sister so emotionally distraught.

Bette, youre human. Were all bound to ***** up sometime.
Bette looks at Kit from the corner of her eyes without turning her head. Their eyes meet briefly before Bette returns her gaze to the wall.

I didnt mean to hurt her, Bette finally said. Her words were slow and labored. She repeats herself with some tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. Kit moves closer to her sister who is slowly breaking down. Bettes body gives in to the comfort of Kits embrace as she sobs.

Thats it. Let it out. Let all that mess youre feeling get out.
Bette quickly attempts to compose herself. She wipes the tears from her eyes and Kit gently rubs her back.

I dont know what Im going to do.

Girl, youre the strongest person I know. I have no doubt in my mind that youll do whats right for you.

Bette begins to lower her face into the palms of her hands.

Im obviously not as strong as everyone thinks.

Youve just been under too much pressure. Work, the baby, Tina, all of it has taken a toll and you made a mistake.

Thats just it. I cant fully acknowledge what I did as a mistake. Consciously I know that what I did was wrong but in that moment when shes around me, when shes in my presence I cant think straight. Ive tried to stop myself but Im lost when were in the same room. Do you know how hard it is to fight something that you want so badly?

Uh, hello. Have we forgotten my personal relationship with alcohol? Kit looks at Bette, knowing exactly what she is talking about. Now here we are two grown women, craving something that they shouldnt be, Kit continues as her comment brings the tiniest smile onto Bettes face.

I guess youre right. Alcohol was your drug of choice. Candace is mine, Bette says with a slightly larger smile.
You mean was, Kit corrected.

Bette looks at her but doesnt correct herself.

All it was, Kit says emphasizing the word was. was *****, it was exciting and new *****.

I probably shouldnt say this but truth be told, it wasnt all about *****, Bette confessed.

Kit takes her sisters hand before Bette turns her head to look at her.

Look, I know youre going through it and its hard for you but dont let it bring you down.

Bette lowers her head unlocking eyes with Kit but Kit lifts Bettes chin with her finger.

Before you try to do what everyone expects you to do and you try to get Tina back, you need to settle things with Candace. Before you get back with Tina you have to know in your heart that you have cut all ties with Candace because it doesnt sound to me like you have closed her off, if thats what you want to do.

Bette smiles at Bette before they engage in a tender hug.


Bette sat in her car outside of Candaces house. She sat with an uncertain look on her face, her hands still at the steering wheel where she held a small post-it with the address written on it. She looked back out toward the house.

Bette stood in front of the house, at the door, anxiously waiting. What if shes not home, she thought to herself. What am I going to say? Breathe Bette, breathe, she told herself. I need to tell her that we cant go on and then leave, she continued to give herself a pep talk. She rang the doorbell and now she didnt know what to do with herself. She fidgeted with her handbag. Looked around to see if anyone was around, there was no one. She looked at the door once again and just as she turned to go back to her car, she heard the door open.

With her back to the opening door, Bette closes her eyes in anticipation of turning around to see Candace standing there.

Hey, Candace says in her low soothing tone, causing Bette regain her composure. Youre here to cut all ties, Bette had to remind herself before turning back around.

Bette should have been warned. She wasnt expecting to see what she saw. Bette stood in awe at the sight before her eyes. Candace stood dressed plainly in a pair of jeans and a white tank top but there was something different about her. Bette noticed immediately, it was the first time Bette had seen Candace with her hair out and if she was holding on by a thread, she heard the snap and for the life of her she could not remember the purpose of her visit. Candace looked at Bette quizzically without uttering a single word. Candace attempts to pull her hair back into a ponytail as she waits for Bette to say something.

Dont, Bette finally speaks as she reaches out to prevent Candace from moving her hand.

That touch alone was enough to cause a flutter within Bette. She was in danger and she knew it. The conversation that she had came to have had quickly taken a back seat to the conversation she was already having with Candace in complete silence. There was another flutter in that place that urged to be touched none too gently. Bette wanted the woman standing in front of her and Candace obliged to Bettes unspoken request as she pulled her into the house.

The door was barely closed before they began to kiss passionately against it. Moans echo throughout the empty house as they ravage each other attempting to free each other from the clothing that separates them from each other. Candace pops the buttons of Bettes blouse open while Bette has managed to slip her hand up Candaces tight fitting wife beater. Candaces breathing, heavier with the touch of Bettes hands on her *****. Breaking the kiss as she manages to pull the wife beater up above her breast without removing it completely. Bette allows her lips to move downward, licking down Candaces neck, down her chest and finally landing at the tip of Candaces nipple. Candaces eyes are closed. Shes taking the sensation of having Bettes lips on her bare breast in. Taking the nipple in her mouth, Bette sucks on the left breast while kneading the right breast. With Candaces hand on her head Bette switches *****, now licking and sucking on the right breast while playing with the right one. When Candace cant take it anymore and wants to move on to something else she pulls Bette back up and kisses her, then leads her into the bedroom.

They made there way into the bedroom not being able to keep their hands off each other. They kissed as Candace freed Bette from the blouse she had effortlessly unbuttoned just minutes ago, leaving Bette with just a bra on. Before Bette is able to remove the wife beater, Candace directs Bette onto the bed and as Bette slides onto the middle of the bed just watching Candace with a huge smile on her face. Candace is loving it and she too, flashes a smile before discarding her top, nipples completely erect from arousal, not to mention Bettes oral stimulation. It was her turn to return the favor. Candace straddles Bette freeing her of the bra she still had in place and slowly went to work on Bettes ***** as her hand made its way south, unbuttoning, then unzipping, finally slipping it into the warm wetness between Bettes legs. Candace began rubbing against Bettes wetness but before she is able slip a finger in, she is thrown off when Bette flips them over. With Bette now on top, Candace has an intrigued look on her face, its the type of look that cant wait to see where they are heading. Bette smiles mischievously then leans down over Candace and whispers almost into her mouth.

Its my turn, Bette says before planting a quick kiss then standing up to remove her pants.

Not wanting to be the only naked one, she wasted no time getting Candace out of the rest of her clothing but the pace had slowed down just a bit. Bette was now in control and would take advantage of this. Her hand reached for Candaces wet center and with one finger traced every crevice in the surrounding area making Candace squirm with anticipation.

*****, Candace managed to say in between moans.

Bette loved to tease. The finger traced the increasingly moist center that was now aching to explode. Bette leans forward and kisses on Candaces stomach as she moves her finger up her center and ending at her *****. She feels Candaces respond to the touch to her *****. She decides against using her finger to pleasure Candace as she begins to go down on her. Bette smiles knowingly as she starts kissing down Candaces body. Lower, lower, lower, until she replaces her finger with her tongue causing Candace to buck at the contact.

Oh *****, Candace said placing her hand on top of Bettes head, urging her not to stop.

Bette begins to work the *****, then moving on to the inside of the folds revealing the pink center that excited both Bette and Candace. As Bette slid a finger inside, Candace bucked again before Bette slipped in another finger. With Bette pleasuring Candace with both her mouth and hand, Candace began to move her hips to the rhythm that Bette created. Bette entered her fingers in deeper and deeper and Candace pumped into them urging for them to get even deeper. Fingers stroking faster while tongue continued to lick on Candaces *****. Bette knew that Candace could not stand it anymore. Bette curved her fingers to reach that spot that would make Candace lose it.

*****, *****, *****, was all Candace could say as she continued to hold Bettes head.

The strokes continue and Candace gives in. Her stomach muscles tightened as she gave in to the final strokes and explodes, shuddering in the afterglow of it all. Leaning back up to kiss Candace, Bette removes her fingers from her inside her lovers body and caressed her body with them.

We can take turns being in control, Bette says eliciting a smile from Candace.


Bette thought of the possibility that things would occur that way. Her head overflowed with different scenarios of what was to happen the moment she saw Candace. She had even managed to fantasize all while remained seated in her car, still with her hands gripping the steering wheel with the post-it still in place. She took another look at the house and contemplated her next move but her fantasy had become to real for her as she had felt the moisture building up beneath her. In her predicament she was viable to jump Candace the moment she opened the door. Maybe it wasnt a good time to break things off.
