Bette turned and walked to me slowlyspeaking so softly that I had to pay attention to hold on to the words. I need your help to share with me this night. To taste the food, to bathe, to hold me tightI need you T. and she ran into my arms. It was a gentle bear hug. Without breaking away she led me to the tub. What do you want T? she asked. I broke the embrace and looked her in the eye and whisperedI wantI want you Bette.only you. We made love in the tub. Bette can be so soft that I feel I will crumble under her touch, melt under her gaze. She drives me crazy with her tease. Those skillful fingers dig deep to draw pleasure like Ive never known. I tremble and she holds me. I explode and she pulls me back together. I surrender and she catches me. I cry and she holds me. We lay in the tub till I really couldnt take the cold water. I never wanted to her go. Sitting between her legs – life seems impossibly sweet and simple. I rest all my fears and feelings as I rest my head on her shoulders. My back falling on her chest.

We dried each-other off, kissing as much as we could. In robes, we go out for dinner. As she gets us food, I read her note:

T,
Watching you sleep today I knew..
What it means to me to have you.
It means a world to me!
Youre my everything baby.
My love, my life
And have I hold you today – you are incredibly ***** and beautiful!
B

I was in tears. She must have said all of these words thousands of times. But, everytime she says it, I feel them as if hearing for the first time. Bette holds me from behind, kissing my hair, my cheek, my temple, whispering – she loves me. This is going to be the best meal ever. After such a long time, we are having this relaxed-together meal. I knew it in the morningthis is a perfect day. Bettes here, loving me and letting me love her back, all at my pace.
