Its six oclock on a Friday night, and Tina was still stuck at work reading script after script. All soon starting to sound like the same lame story. Its been two days since shes last seen Bette and she missed her terribly. She was spent and was ready to go home into the undeniable love of Bettes arms. And as if on cue, the phone rings.

Hello?

Hi baby, awe, you sound so tired. Will you be coming home soon?

Hey babe. Yeah, I am tired. I just have this last scrips that Roberts has been breathing down my neck about. I should be home in a couple of hours though. I miss you baby.

Bette can hear all the stress and frustration in Tinas voice. Wishing she could do nothing more than hold Tina in her arms and take it all away.

I miss you too. Are you sure you cant just read it tomorrow? I want you to come home so I can take care of you.

I really wish I could but it has to be ready for the producers by tomorrow morning.

Bette too was now becoming frustrated by the lack of her and Tinas time together.

Well can you just bring it home and work on it? Please?? I havent seen you in two whole days, I need to see you Tina.

God Bette, you know I cant say no when you beg.

Good, then Ill see you in half an hour!

Yeah, see you soon.

And T?

Hmm

You wont regret it

How am I always such a sucker when she begs. I swear that woman could ask me to chase the ice cream truck down the street naked and I would do it in a heartbeat. She giggled to herself at the image and began to gather her things and head home.

The ride home was short and all she could think about was being with Bette. Bettes arms wrapped around her so delicately, yet strong enough to feel like she couldnt be anywhere safer.

Tina walked up the steps to her home and immediately felt relief just knowing how close she was to the woman of her dreams.

As soon as she opened the door, her eyes filled to the brim with tears. There were white and red candles lit everywhere. The first time Bette lit them she said the white ones represented their love, and the red ones represented the strength of their love. There was always just a little more red ones than white. She could hear the faint sound of Maxwells high-pitched voice in the background. The room was dim with only the light of the candles. But as soon as Bette walked in, the room seemed to have a whole new glow. She looked straight at Tina, trying to read her face. Tina was automatically swept away by Bettes soft, casual beauty. Slowly Bette inched towards Tina, letting her take in the smell of the pink rose petals scattered across the living room.

Tina?

With her tears now strolling slowly down her face, Tina looked directly into Bettes eyes. Bette could see all the pain and stress from the last two days behind Tinas tears.

Make itgo away. Tina said softly.

Bette gave her a questioning look at first, but then knew right away what she wanted.

Make it all go away Bette, everything but you and me.

Bette could see the tears streaming down Tinas face. She stepped closer to her, now only a foot away and put her hand out.

I love you so much T. Please give me you hand.

Without hesitation, Tina placed her hand in Bettes. Intertwining and locking their fingers together. Bette began to walk towards the bedroom. But Tina stayed rooted to where she was standing, causing Bette to turn around. She could feel Tina staring right into the most purest and vulnerable part of her body, her soul.

Almost in a scared whispered voice, Tina spoke, Never let go Bette.

Do you trust me? Bette responded.

With every single piece of me.

Then I could never let go.

Holding onto Tinas hand, Bette led Tina toward the bedroom. Halfway there looking back to give her a reassuring smile that everything was going to be okay. When they reached the door, Bette stopped and turned to look at Tina.

She whispered into her ear, Im going to kiss you now. I want you to think about me and only me, okay? And how much I love you T. Will you do that for me?

She could feel Tina slowly nod her head yes. She lightly pressed her lips to Tinas, running her tongue along them asking permission for entrance. Tinas whole body melted as soon as she felt Bettes smooth tongue message hers. She could feel everything of the past two days being lifted off of her, everything disappearing but her and Bette. Her knees were threatening to give, and they did. But Bette keeping her promise, she never let go. Holding Tina as close to her as possible. She finally broke the kiss and looked at Tina waiting for her to open her eyes back to reality.

I love you baby. And tonight is just about you and me. Its all gone. No one else existsa fantasy world.
