IS THIS LOVE

CHAPTER 87

“You know I could get really used to spending days with you “ Bette said. They
Were sitting under a tree in Central Park looking over the lake and watching everything that was going on with all the couples and families.
“You mean when are both fully clothed ?” Tina asked finishing her sandwich and picking up her bottle of water
“Yes and no – I love being with you and its great to just relax like this – this is new for me you know. I have run through this park hundreds of times and never sat under a tree with a gorgeous woman. I really enjoy this “
“I get the impression that your past with women isn’t a happy one “
Bette looked over at the blonde “Not a success if that’s what you mean “
“You don’t talk about them “
“I could say that you don’t talk about your girlfriends either “
“Do you think its odd that in 6 months we have not talked about our exes ?”
“You talked about Jane when we started out – I think because you were pretty scared by what had happened”
“She did hurt me and it held me back from leaping into things with you “
“It took us less than 30 minutes from you knocking on my front door to you and I ending up naked and fucking one another – that’s hardly holding ourselves back “
“By then I knew that you were nothing like Jane or any other woman I had slept with. You were so kind and loving – and that was before the wild sex “
Bette smiled – always good to have her sexual skills described as wild.
“I could see that you were scared by what she had done to you – pity our paths have not crossed because I would like to tell her a thing or two “
Tina took Bette’s hand “ No need – she’s my past and you and I have a great future together.. As well as $11, 390 to spend “
Bette shook her head “That was one surreal night last night “
“Which part in particular ?”
“Well it was actually a conversation you were not a part of “
“Tell me everything “
“Well I will not give you a word for word repeat but the jist of it was that Emma’s love making skills has forced Helena to bring her A game to the party “
Tina laughed – she threw herself back and flopped on the grass
“Oh god “ Tina said
“I know its not the greatest image ever “
Tina sat up “Trust me – its not as bad as my mother telling me one or two things that really will stay with me for a LONG time – therapy or not “
“Dare I ask ?”
“No – it was bad enough that I can hear her words in my head without me having to release them into the world again by speaking them “
“Helena said your mother is the best lover she’s had in a long time “
Tina grinned “While mom did her best not to demean the skills of my late mother she did describe Helena as “ phenomenal “
Bette laughed “I am sorry but we are going to have to tell them – correct – demand that they do not talk about sex ever again “
“Are we being prudes here Bette ?”
