This is a bit AU, but I think it still turned out well nonetheless. I regret to inform you that I lied in the first chapter though, Peter wasn't in here…but it is still awesome without him!

Bette drove rather quickly back to her hotel, throwing on the first thing that she thought looked decent on her, and grinned mischievously when she saw the 'no shirt tux' she still had from the 80's, having to shake away the thought of wearing it, she didn't want to scare the good doctor. She finally found an appropriate navy blue dress, and began to look for the right jewelry for the evening.

…

Megan was so ecstatic when she arrived home, she couldn't help but giggle and squeal like a little kid as soon as she closed the door to her apartment. It had been quite some time since she had been on a date, but a date with a woman? That was BEFORE Lacey, before Todd even! Not to mention, she had only felt sparks like that for one other person since Todd, and well, Kate was her boss, so there was nothing she could do about it…

Before deciding on finding an outfit to wear for the evening, Megan poured herself a glass of wine, hoping to calm her nerves a bit. She looked at her phone and noticed she had some messages, so she checked them while removing some of her excess clothing. "Hi Megan, its Kate, I was just calling to let you know that Curtis and Ethan say YOU told them to run the coagulase test to determine the bacteria found in their victim WAS in fact staphylococcus, so we will have a discussion about that in the morning. Also, let me know when you would like me to come over for yoga." Megan thought about calling Kate, but then shrugged it off and went to get ready for her date.

...

"Ok, take a deep breath, calm yourself. You've got this under control Bette. This isn't like high school and this is your first date ever kind of thing, you're a big girl. You can handle this. It's one date!" Bette kept telling herself this time and time again, but she still could feel the butterflies in her stomach.

She looked in her suitcase and smiled at the shining flask as if it were a lost friend. She took a quick swig from the flask, the burn of the vodka chasing the butterflies away. She then put the flask away, and grabbed a breath mint on her way out of the hotel.

…

Megan was just putting on her earrings when she heard the doorbell ring. "Coming!" She cheerfully said as she slipped on her heels and made her way to the door. "Hi Bette! You're a tad early. I was just finishing getting ready. I just need to go put my earrings in and we can leave! Come on in, make yourself at home. I'll only be a second." Megan motioned for Bette to make her way to the sofa as she went back to her bedroom to grab her earrings. "I hope you brought an appetite, because where we are going, we will sure get plenty to eat!" Megan cried from her room. She checked her reflection in the mirror, and decided she wanted to go ahead and texted Kate, just to get the thought out of her mind. The text was simple and cute, but was sure to make Kate jealous. "We'll talk yoga 2morro. Guess who's got a date!"

Bette was still too nervous to sit down, so she just stood, admiring the doctor's furniture, and her little knick-knacks. She was in the hallway looking at a rather abstract portrait, but found it intriguing. "Astounding", she whispered, not hearing Megan come up quietly behind her. "I bought that piece about ten years ago. My husband couldn't stand it, but I just had to have it. I've kept it ever since." She had caught Bette off guard, and she jumped when Megan had begun to speak, but gently nodded as she listened to the woman's statement.

'She has a husband? Oh no…this isn't going to work…' Bette thought, beginning to feel a twinge of sadness in her chest, but kept her eye on the painting. "Yeah, after the divorce, my husband told me to 'get that ugly thing out of his house!' It was the first thing I moved in when I got this place." Megan placed a warm hand on Bette's shoulder, while awaiting an answer. 'Whew! She's divorced!' Bette thought, 'A hand! How nice…oh, maybe she wants a response!' "I think the piece is wonderful, it is such an array of creativity, abstraction, and beauty!" Bette said, turning to look at Megan.

They were now nose to nose, Bette almost leaning up against the wall in the corridor. "So you like it?" Megan whispered huskily. She didn't know why, but she felt Bette's scent was intoxicating, and she wanted nothing more right now than to kiss those luscious lips on Bette's face, oh how beautiful that would be…

Megan took a fourth of a step closer, in order to keep from falling into the other woman, which caused Bette to take a step back, and ended up backing into a wall. Megan then took the liberty of filling in the space between them, coming back to where they were before, only now, she placed her hands on either side of Bette so that she could lightly press her body into Bette's hoping the brunette would get the idea.

Bette smile, and moved closer to Megan, smiling into her lips as she could feel the woman's warm breath. She moved her arms lightly up Megan's, causing goosebumps all the way up Megan's arms, who smiled and then pressed her lips into Bette's with her eyes closed. The kiss had come up out of nowhere, yet it had seeped out of the depths of the two women, igniting a flame that had long been forgotten before they met, and now spread through their bodies like a wildfire.

Needless to say, the two women never made their reservation to the sushi bar, but ended up enjoying each other's company to say the least.

After an hour of skirting around it, Megan finally became rather bold, and in the middle of a heated kiss, while on top of Bette, she looked into her eyes and whispered a husky "come to bed with me", which sparked Bette's arousal even more, but still she was hesitant. "I…I should be getting back" she whispered, right before her mouth was devoured once more by the fiery redhead. Bette could hardly her brain focused as a hot wet mouth moved its way down her neck and to her chest, and remaining there for a few moments.

"I have a big meeting tomorrow, we…ahhh…we are discussing arrangements for the new…" her sentence trailed off and all thoughts were lost as she felt a hand find her thigh and move slowly upward with her dress. "Oh, I can make ANY arrangements you wish tonight" came the husky voice in her ear, which instantly sent a shock to her core and belayed any further thought she might have had.

The two women remained in Megan's apartment for the rest of the night, and the next morning, as she left for work, Megan placed a note for Bette on the bedside table and placed a feather-light kiss on her forehead, just before stepping out. Megan entered the building with a wide grin on her face, and a bit more pep in her step, and Ethan and Curtis were NOT the first ones to notice.

Before Megan had time to sit down at her office, she receive a page from Kate, and so she made her way down to Kate's office.

"So I hear you had a date last night?" Were the first words to come out of Dr. Kate Murphy's mouth as she sat on the front edge of her desk, smiling. Megan could only grin, because there was no way to describe how mind-blowing, brain-shattering, and just plain amazing her 'date' was last night. "Well…" Kate snickered. Megan could almost detect a hint of jealousy in Kate's voice too. "If I didn't know any better Dr. Hunt, I'd say you got laid!"

At the last statement, Megan grinned as wide as she could, and leaned into Kate to whisper in her ear, placing both hands on the desk on either side of Kate, and whispered, "You know Dr. Murphy, yoga is just the beginning. There is no need to be jealous, but…you have no idea how mind-blowing a date with me can be."

Megan then stood up and left Dr. Murphy's office, knowing full well she had the woman completely turned on and wanting her, but she would have to wait her turn.

It seemed to Megan, a senator's job is NEVER done.

The end… maybe. I can continue if you wish, but I am afraid some reviews might be necessary for that to happen. :]
