“You would do that for me”  Bette grinned.

“I would do anything for…..” Tina was silenced when she felt Bette’s lips on hers.

What started as slow and dizzy escalated to long, deep and sensual and  just went on and on and only their soft moans broke the silence. They kissed through the night until at day break exhaustion cruelly took over and they fell asleep, their lips still gently touching, their arms wrapped lovingly around the other.

They where awoken by a persistent knocking of the door which Bette sleepily got up to answer.

“Sorry girls but I left you until 12.30 and check out was at 12.00”

“Bette rubbed her eyes  “Sorry…we will be as quick as we can…..sorry”

“Thanks” The landlady said, Bette returned to Tina, who had drifted back to sleep.

“We have to go”  Bette gently roused Tina.

“I don’ want to…..I don’t want to go”  Tina groaned.

Bette got back into bed and scooped Tina into her arms

“I know me neither…but we really don’t have a choice….”  Bette squeezed Tina tighter, they lay there for longer than they knew they should have but neither could bear to be the first to let go.

The journey home was quiet as the reality of their situation sunk in, Tina spent most of the time resting her head on Bette’s shoulder and holding her hand under the table.

They parted outside Tina’s house after Bette offered to come in and face the music together, Tina declined and ran up the path and disappeared through the door.

That was the last Bette saw of her until she burst into her bedroom the following afternoon.

“Hi…you miss me”  Tina dived onto the bed and landed on her tummy next to Bette who had her head buried in a book.

The huge grin on Bette’s face gave Tina her answer.

“No not really, I was glad of the break….so how did it go with your parents”

Tina smiled and made a mental note to get her own back for that comment.

“To cut a very long story short their very disappointed in me blah blah blah…..I told them they should be thankful I was with you and not some hot and horny teenage guy who would have taken advantage of me” Tina laughed at the irony
