So I'm reposted with (hopefully) sorted formatting...thanks to Fraiij for pointing out the problem!
Angelica sat on the living room floor playing schoolteacher with her toys as Bette stood over the hob making dinner. At precisely 6 o'clock the doorbell rang and the brunette smiled. Punctuality was something that had always been important to her, and Jodie's frequent tardiness annoyed her greatly.
"Angie, can you let Momma T in?" she called from the kitchen.
"Yes yes yes!" an excited Angie exclaimed as she ran to open the door to her other mother.
"Hey sweetie" smiled Tina as Angelica opened the door.
"Momma!" Angie hugged her mother and led her into the living room "Will you play teachers with me?"
"I'll be with you in a minute Angie, just let me go give this to your mother" Tina replied, indicating the bottle of wine in her hand.
Angie busied herself with her toys, immediately absorbed in her game. Tina made her way through to the kitchen, a room very familiar to her as it was of course her who used to do all the cooking in this very house.
"Something smells good" she said genuinely as she entered the kitchen.
Bette turned and smiled "Hey"
"Hey yourself. Can I put this somewhere?" Tina held up the wine.
Bette inspected the bottle and was suitably impressed "A good choice as always"
"I learned from the best"
The two shared a smile, the awkward tension of earlier had faded. Both were secretly hoping that just for the evening they could pretend that nothing outside of those four walls existed, that they were just a family of three.
"So did Jodie teach you to cook? I hear she's a great cook" Tina asked.
"Actually I taught myself" Bette replied proudly.
Tina smiled broadly "Ms Porter, I'm very impressed"
"I had to learn to take care of myself one day"
The smiles on both women's faces turned sad for a moment, sad for the love that they had lost. Swallowing deeply, Tina took a step forward so that she was within touching distance of the brunette. She reached up and cupped her former lover's cheek.
"I always did like taking care of you you know" she whispered softly.
Bette could feel her heart starting to race as she tilted her head downwards "You were so good at it"
"Mommas!" a bouncing Angie came bounding into the room and the two women jumped apart.
"Hey pumpkin, are all the schoolchildren behaving themselves?" Tina recovered quickly.
"No" Angie shook her head "They're not as good as me"
Both women laughed, not sure whether to be disappointed or greatful that their daughter interrupted their moment.
"Angie, how about you set the table while I finish getting dinner ready?" Bette asked.
"Ok!" the little girl answered happily "Momma T you help!"
Tina took one last longing look at Bette before following her daughter out of the kitchen to help set the table. The brunette turned back to the pans and tried to shake off the instant arousal that she had felt at Tina's touch. She got the food ready and carried it out to her waiting girls.
"Wow, that looks good doesn't it Angie?" Tina said, turning to her daughter who had her knife and fork in her hands at the ready.
"Yep yep yep!"
Bette chuckled as she set down the food and served it out.
It was so easy for the three of them to slip into a routine, kept amused by Angie's tales of school and Bette happy to take a backseat and listen to Tina's stories from work. As they finished their food, Tina put down her cutlery and rested a hand over Bette's.
"You really have changed, you know that?"
"What do you mean?" Bette asked, furrowing her brow in confusion.
"I don't think I heard you mention work once. And you just let me go on and on about Lez Girls"
"I….like listening to you talk"
Their fingers softly brushed against each other as they slowly linked hands.
"Mommas!"Angie yelled, banging her fork on the table.
"Bette, can you hear something?" Tina asked jokingly.
"Nope, I don't think so"
"MOMMAS!" Angie yelled louder.
Neither woman could keep a straight face as they turned to their agitated daughter.
"I think somebody wants some attention" Bette nodded at Angelica.
"Aww does my boo want some attention?" asked Tina in a sing-songy voice.
"How about…" Bette got up and moved behind Angelica's chair "some tickling!"
Angie erupted into fits of giggles as she was tickled first by Bette and then Tina joined in.
"Stop STOP!" she yelped.
"It's good to outnumber her for once" Bette teased with a smile.
"Hows about you" Tina said picking up Angelica "and your Mommas all snuggle up on the sofa and watch a movie?"
Angie nodded enthusiastically and let herself be carried through to the sofa. The three of them settled down to watch the little girls favourite film of the moment – The Lion King. It was secretly one of Bette's favourites, but she liked to pretend that she only watched it because of Angie. Throughout the movie Tina grinned to herself as she stole secret glances at Bette and caught her miming along with the words to the songs.
"Momma T?" piped up Angie.
"Yes sweetie?"
"If you were a character in The Lion King, who would you be?"
"Hmm that's a tricky one. Which character are you?"
"I'm Nala because she gets to be the Princess of all the animals" Angie replied, puffing out her chest.
"Well I think I'd be Rafiki"
"The baboon?" Bette asked, suppressing a giggle.
"Yes, the baboon" Tina glanced witheringly at Bette "because he makes Simba face the past and reunite with Nala and take his rightful place as King"
Bette smiled and subtly moved her hand so that it was rested on the blondes arm. She let her thumb brush back and forth, indicating to Tina that she understood the meaning behind her choice.
"And you know what Angie?" Tina said with a glint in her eye.
"What?"
"I think Momma B should be mean old Scar!"
Bette's mouth fell open indignantly as Angie disolved into fits of giggles and high fived her mother.
"Momma B is mean and old and Momma T has a big ugly red baboon bottom!"
"That's it!" Tina growled and the two women pounced on the little girl, tickling the life out of her.
Angelica was soon tired out by all the tickling and laid across her two mothers's laps to watch the end of the film. Bette took the opportunity to gaze at Tina, reaching up to tuck a loose curl behind her ear. This caused the blonde to turn and their eyes focused on each other's. Bette slowly ran her finger down Tina's cheek and the blonde bit her lip. The brunette let her hand fall and grasped Tina's, squeezing it to let her know that they were both feeling the same emotions in that moment.
As the closing credits rolled their daughter turned over to look up at them with sleepy eyes. They let go of one another's hands but stayed close enough that their arms remained touching.
"Shall we take you to bed honey?" Bette asked softly.
Angie shook her head, trying to keep her eyes open.
"Come on sweetie" Tina stood up and let Bette lift Angie up to her.
"Story?" Angie asked.
"A short one baby" Tina replied, carrying their daughter through to her bedroom.
Bette followed with a soft smile, wanting to pinch herself to check that this moment was real. They tucked Angie into bed and as promised, Tina told her a short story, complete with voices. They kissed their daughter goodnight and she was asleep before they even shut the bedroom door.
"Hows about we finish off that wine?" Bette offered.
"I shouldn't…but it does taste good. I'll go get the glasses" Tina said with a coy smile, heading to the kitchen.
Bette followed the blonde and watched admiringly as she poured the remainder of the bottle of wine into their glasses. She couldn't help but move behind Tina and cheekily reach out a hand to run over the tight fabric that covered her arse.
"What are you doing?" Tina spun round raising an eyebrow.
"Well…" Bette bit her lip "I was just checking to see if you really do have a…what was it now…big ugly red baboon bottom?"
"And?" Tina leant back against the counter flirtatiously.
"I think I need another feel to be sure"
"Don't push your luck Porter" Tina warned, carrying the glasses of wine through to the living room, leaving Bette to follow, once again sporting the Porter pout.
The two women sat on the sofa in comfortable silence, a slight gap between them now that the security blanket that was their daughter was no longer in the room. It was Tina that was the first to move her hand along the sofa, letting her fingers brush against Bette's. Both women stared forwards as their fingers explored one another. Their hearts raced at the sensuous feeling that it produced, amazed that such little contact could evoke such arousal.
"Bette" the blonde breathed, turning to meet Bette's gaze.
"Finish your wine"
"What?"
"Please"
Tina looked confused but did as she was told, placing the empty glass back on the table. She went to wipe her lips with the back of her hand but was stopped by the brunette.
"Let me" Bette whispered, gently wiping her thumb over the blondes lips.
"You haven't finished your wine" Tina pointed out, unable to take her eyes off of Bette's.
"I don't need to"
"So why did you tell me to…"
"Because now you've had too much to drive, so you'll have to stay" the brunette explained with a smirk.
"Ooooh" Tina raised an eyebrow "And why would you want me to stay?"
"Because…" Bette said softly, leaning over so that her hands rested on the back of the sofa either side of the blondes head "then I can do this"
She closed her eyes and leant in slowly towards the blonde. Their lips met and both of them let out a deep breath through their nose that they hadn't realised they had been holding. The brunettes tongue flicked against Tina's upper lip, immediately seeking to deepen the kiss. The blonde moaned, taking Bette's tongue into her mouth. Her hands tangled into the brunettes curls as she pulled her in. The fire from the previous night was instantly reignited, only this time they were without the hindrance of being in a public place. Encouraged by Tina's moans, Bette shifted so that she was straddling her lap. Their mouths seperated as the blonde let her head fall back against the sofa, her lips parted as she attempted to recover her breath.
"Bette…" she started questioningly.
"Sshh" the brunette silenced her with a kiss "I don't want to think, not tonight, I just want to feel"
"What about…"
Again the blonde was cut short, this time by the feeling of the brunette taking her earlobe into her mouth.
"Don't you want me to feel you baby?" she whispered, her breath tickling the wetness that she had left on Tina's ear.
"Oh god" Tina exclaimed, grabbing Bette's face and kissing her hungrily.
The blonde ran her hands down the brunettes supple back, coming to rest on the firm arse that she had missed so much. Bette pressed her body into Tina, subconsciously beginning to grind her hips forward, desperate for a relief from the ache that she had been feeling non stop since their kiss last night.
"Baby?" Tina panted.
"Yeah?" Bette paused, looking down at the blonde with darkened eyes.
"Shouldn't we take this into the bedroom?"
"I can't move….I need you now"
"Oh fuck Porter…" Tina groaned, burying her head in Bette's neck.
The blonde nipped and sucked, enjoying the reward of the throaty moans coming from the brunette. There was no hiding the movements of their two bodies anymore, their hips rocked, each woman desperate for more contact. Tina ran her mouth down to the curve of Bette's breasts, pulling down her top and bra in one movement and gasping at the sight before her. The brunettes firm breasts were more supple, more perfect than she remembered, and her dark nipples stood out prominently, begging for Tina's attention. And of course, the blonde was willing to give that attention.
"Please T…"
Tina didn't need asking twice. Her mouth enclosed around the stiffened right nipple as she let her hand play with the left. She twisted, tugged and flicked as she sucked on the hardened nub in her mouth, eliciting deeper groans from the brunette.
"Baby I need you…" Bette begged.
"I'm right here B"
"Feel…please…feel how much I need you"
The brunette reached down to unbutton her pants, taking the blondes hand and guiding it down to the place where she needed it the most. She slid her pants down so that they were round her knees, allowing them both more freedom to move.
Both women gasped as Bette slid down Tina's hand, covered with her own, and the blondes fingers made contact with her wetness. The brunettes head hung back, her mouth gasping for breath at the incredible sensations she was feeling. Their fingers moved together, circling the brunettes swollen clit. It was too much for Bette to take and she removed her own hand, hoping that Tina would continue her ministrations. And continue she did. She continued to circle the brunettes clit, occasionally dipping down to her entrance to spread further the wetness that was seeping out.
"Shit baby, you're so wet" Tina moaned.
"I've been…like this…since last night" Bette panted, her eyes meeting Tina's once again.
"Did you not sort yourself out?"
Bette blushed and said nothing.
Tina chuckled "You can hardly go shy on me when my fingers are buried in your pussy"
"Oh god" groaned Bette "I love it when you talk dirty"
"Oh really? Tell me how you touched yourself or I'll stop"
"Fuck! Ok…I did…I fucked myself with my fingers…I…fuck…I was imagining that…that it was your fingers….and I came so hard…but because…I was thinking of you…I was even wetter…when I finished…and wanting you even more" Bette panted, frantically grinding against Tina's fingers.
"Mmm I can just picture you" Tina moaned "Your legs spread wide, fingers deep in your pussy, imagining that I'm there fucking you"
"Fuck!" Bette yelped, crashing her mouth down onto Tina's.
The two women kissed desperately as Tina slid her fingers into Bette. The brunette was riding her hand, moaning into her mouth. Her walls were tightening around the blondes fingers as she felt herself soaring towards the edge. Hearing Tina's dirty talk set her off in a way that she never knew possible. She thrust her hips harder and faster, drawing herself closer and closer. Tina knew the signs and curled her fingers inside the brunette. In their years apart she had not forgotten exactly where that spot was, and her movement had the desired effect.
"FUCK!" Bette threw her head back and moaned.
She shook as she rode out her orgasm, her muscles clenching Tina's fingers deep inside her, before collapsing into the waiting arms of the blonde.
"Oh god…T…I…" she panted.
"Sshh" Tina soothed, rubbing her back "I've got you"
Bette moaned softly and lifted her head to kiss Tina lazily. Their bodies pressed together, neither wanting a millimetre of air to get between them.
"Will you take me to bed now?"
