It was a beautiful California morning: the sun was shining brightly, the sky was a clear blue, and a gentle breeze flowed in through the open windows of the bedroom. Bette sighed contentedly and rolled onto her back, her face beaming at the thought that it was Saturday. She looked over at Tinas face, half concealed by the pillow it was buried into. Her face was so relaxed that her mouth was slightly open and a gentle hiss escaped with every breath. As always, Bette had crumpled the sheets all around herself, leaving her scantily clad partner uncovered for probably most of the early morning. Bette was about to pull the sheets up around Tinas body, but stopped mid-motion to appreciate the gentle curve of her waist, the graceful legs barely touching her own, the way her little toes curled when she shifted. Bette let out another sigh, this time tinged with some disappointment, and draped the smooth cotton fabric over Tinas body. They had both had what seemed to be the busiest week of their lives. Every day had consisted of waking up, going to work, sharing a quiet dinner, and then collapsing back into bed, utterly exhausted.

Bette made up her mind to make some coffee and let Tina sleep a little longer. They had to go to an afternoon party later in the day, and Bette was dreading it. Watching the coffee drip slowly, her body ached to crawl into bed and wrap her arms and legs around Tina. But instead she would be spending the better part of the day having insipid conversations with pretty much every ***** in Los Angeles. Why did Mimi and Ivy have to have a five and half year re-commitment ceremony anniversary party, anyways? ***** dykes, she muttered under her breath. Bette wasnt one to flippantly curse her own kind, but the idea of going to the party was becoming more and more onerous with every passing second. She grabbed her cup of fresh coffee and opened one of the back doors to stand in the threshold. Her brow furrowed slightly, thinking about a lie/excuse that would be both believable and effective in getting them out of their engagement. Food poisoning? Too dramatic and not believable enough. Pool cleaning appointment they forgot about? Not good enough. I want to spend the entire day in bed with my lover, alternate between sleeping and making love, getting up only to use the bathroom? Alice would get a kick out of that one.

You made coffee!

Bette was so lost in her musings she hadnt noticed Tina walking into the kitchen. She was still just wearing her t-shirt and underwear, padding barefoot across the kitchen tile, and the sight made Bettes spine tingle. She raised her cup to her lips, peeking over the rim to discreetly continue raking Tinas body with her eyes, We should probably start getting ready if we want to meet Alice and Dana beforehand. Tina released a groan as her shoulders suddenly fell, *****! Id totally forgotten about it. Bette couldnt help but grin with excitement that they both felt the same way about the party. You know, Bette began sheepishly, we could justI dont knowstay in, claim the 24 hour flu thing. Tina turned around to face her, chuckling, Alice and Dana would kill us if we sent them alone. Bette took a few emboldened steps closer to dispose of her coffee cup in the sink, They dont need to know were sending them alone Tina arched an eyebrow to convey that Bette had piqued her interest. We can call and say we overslept and that well meet them there Bette continued with a wicked grin. But well never show up! Tina whispered with glee.

Bette leaned in and grazed Tinas jaws with her lips, barely applying any pressure. Tina giggled in spite of herself and turned her head to look at Bette, If we dont go to the party, what are we gonna do all day? Bette chuckled low and nuzzled her nose against Tinas before cocking her head to find an earlobe to suck on, I have a couple of things in mind, she rasped. Tina took one last gulp of her coffee and tossed the cup into the sink. She grabbed Bettes hand and pulled her out of the kitchen. Wrapped up in each others arms, they staggered down the hall, tugging through giggles at what little clothes they had on. Reaching the bedroom door, Tina suddenly pulled away. Bette knew there was something she wanted to do first by the way she was smiling. Can we try something? Tina asked breathlessly, snaking her arms over Bettes bare shoulders. Bette shrugged, As long as were on that bed in a couple of minutes. Tina winked and pulled Bette closer, On three, ready? Onetwothree! Bette felt Tinas arms tighten around her neck and then the bulk of Tinas weight thrown against her as Tina jumped up and wrapped two legs around her waist.

They both laughed out loud as Bette stumbled slightly to regain her balance. But the laughter gave way to moaning once Tinas lips found Bettes neck, then traced up to meet Bettes lips. With a few more steps they were tumbling into bed and removing what was left of their clothing. Bette dragged her lips down Tinas body: in between her *****, across her flat tummy and over her navel. She lovingly stroked Tinas thighs and pulled her legs up so that they rested on her shoulders. Positioning her face in between Tinas thighs, she blew softly on Tinas wetness, causing her lover to moan and writhe. No teasing, Bette, Tina requested through a sigh. Bette smiled with the knowledge that Tina had been longing for her just as badly; usually, Tina enjoyed the prolonged foreplay and she was impatient one, but today they were making up for an entire week of barely seeing each other. Bette flicked her tongue across Tinas *****, using her fingers to stroke the opening. Within moments, Tinas hips were sliding up and down the sheets. While Bettes fingers delved inside her body, her lips and tongue were sucking Tina closer and closer to climax. She clutched the sheets beneath her and began to feel her body tremble with ecstasy.

AhbabyuhBettemmmm

With a final whimper, Tinas body went completely rigid, then relaxed. Bette settled her head on Tinas heaving abdomen, feeling a little dizzy from all her activities. Tina weakly pawed Bettes hair, summoning enough strength to curl a few thick strands around her fingers. Bette snuggled in between Tinas legs and felt the vibrations of Tinas sudden chuckling. She lifted her head to meet Tinas eyes with a curious look, Whats so funny? Tina reached down to pull Bettes face up and placed a soft, appreciative wet kiss on her forehead, I was just thinking about something, although its not really that funny. Bette shifted onto her side and draped an arm and a leg over Tinas body and planted soft kisses across the entire right side of Tina’s face, What were you thinking about? she finally muttered thickly. As soon as Bette finished her question, the phone began to ring. *****! shes calling early! Bette hissed. Tina gave her a playful wink before she reached over to grab the phone and answer. Hello? she slurred dramatically, Oh, hi Aliceum, yeah pretty muchum, yeah I guess so

Bettes face crumpled with frustration: Was Tina going to give in to Alice? Recognizing the panic in Bettes expression, Tina gave her another quick wink and continued, *****! Alice, we still have to pick up the presentyeahuh-huhuh-huhno just go ahead and well meet you guys thereyeah, okayokayOKAYalright, bye. Bette looked like she had just won the lottery, or better yet, had been given an original Picasso for Christmas, She bought it? Tina nodded her head with unconcerned confidence, We just have to call her around 3 oclock or so. Bette wrinkled her brow, Why does she want us to call her? Tina rolled over to lie on top of Bette with a huge grin on her face, Well, we have to tell her that the car broke down on the freeway because you forgot to change the oil on time. Bette chuckled and pulled her down for a deep kiss. Breaking away, she slid her hands down along Tinas back, So what were you laughing about before? Tina tried her best to look serious as she began, but the corners of her mouth continued to tug upwards, Do you remember Danas party? Bette closed her eyes as a grin spread across her lips, Barely, she lied, you should refresh my memory
