Dinner had gone off without a hitch. Tanya had taken her to a nicer restaurant but nothing too fancy. They'd sat in an obscure corner so no one would really realize that Tanya hadn't eaten. The two carried easy conversation and enjoyed the other's company.

Tanya had driven them back into Denali and they were now sat in the otherwise empty park cuddled together on a bench. Bella was leaned into the vampire with her arms around Tanya's waist and one of Tanya's arms thrown over her shoulders. Her head rested on the blonde's shoulder.

She heard a sound like a faint buzzing and it took her a minute to place it before she was giggling and drawing even more of Tanya's already undivided attention. "Are you purring?" She asked incredulously as her giggles refused to subside.

If Tanya could have blushed, Bella would have bet anything that she would be right now. She nodded sheepishly and Bella laughed even harder at the idea of a vampire being embarrassed, "Explain," She gasped out through her laughs.

"It's pretty much the same concept as cats," The vampire mumbled, "Content, happy, and so on," She continued in her embarrassed, quiet voice. Bella finally stopped laughing and smiled widely at her, "What?"

"It's pretty stinking cute actually," The brunette admitted and Tanya grinned at her, "I'm sure if I could purr, I would be too."

"Good to know," Tanya said as she reached and pulled Bella back into her side being that the girl had moved away as she had her laughing fit.

"I really enjoy spending time with you," Bella said and Tanya looked down at her, "You make me feel happy," Tanya smiled but Bella could see the underlying question in her eyes, "I can't purr, so I'm going to tell you how I feel," She said in explanation and saw tears that would never and could never fall well up in the vampire's eyes. "You make my heart race, which I'm sure you already know," She said with a smirk and Tanya nodded with a watery laugh, "I think you're the most gorgeous thing to ever walk this planet. I like the way you smell. I love the way your hair feels. I love that you paint your toenails black. And the sound of your laugh is my favorite sound," She finished somewhat embarrassed but knowing that she meant every single word.

Tanya pulled Bella to her and suddenly a pair of cold lips were on her own. Bella moaned and opened her mouth to the vampire as she ran her tongue over her bottom lip. Tanya tasted just as Bella expected her to; like perfection. Her hands anchored firmly into brown locks as Bella's own gripped at her waist and pulled herself closer to the vampire. As they kissed, she could feel her body begging her for more. But they were in a public park and this was sort of their first kiss being that the other one had been so chaste while Bella was sick.

Tanya pulled away a moment later and Bella panted not realizing that she had needed air in favor of continuing their make-out session. The vampire smiled brightly as she laid her forehead against Bella's, "Thank you," She said sincerely and Bella just smiled and leaned forward to peck her lips.

They heard Tanya's phone alarm and the vampire dug it out of her back pocket and opened a text from Kate. It was the picture of her and Bella from earlier in the human's bathroom and Bella heard Tanya growl lightly. She laughed and reached for the woman's phone.

Tanya released it willingly and looked to the brunette in question. Bella opened the camera app, held it in front of them, kissed Tanya on the cheek sweetly, and snapped the picture. She handed the phone back afterwards and laid her head down on the vampire's shoulder.

Tanya pulled the photo up and turned her head slightly to press a kiss to Bella's hair in thanks. She sent the photo to her sister with a middle finger emoji attached and Bella chuckled at that. The human then watched Tanya set the photo as her lock screen wallpaper before pocketing the phone again.

"I'm going to kill her," Tanya mumbled and Bella laughed in response. She lifted her head off of Tanya's shoulder and the woman faced her once again.

"That's fine and all, but it's going to have to wait," She said and Tanya opened her mouth to ask why before Bella's lips were on hers again. The vampire moaned her appreciation out as Bella's fingers carded into soft, blonde hair.

"I agree."
