Chapter 149

“How about this one Babe? Look at it….it’s great!” Tina smiled at Bette.

“Nope…look at the color!”

“Bette….Baby…it’s GREEN!”

“Not the right color T!”

“And exactly what color are you looking for?”

“PURPLE…smart *****! I love your ***** by the way!”

“Not the right shade of green Babe?”

“Nope…too damn….pale!”

“How about this one Baby….it’s brighter…prettier…”

“Gorgeous T….nice tree. Hmmmmmm….yeah I think that’s the one!”

“Ok Babe…now you’re sure this is the Christmas tree you want?” Tina had nothing short of a skeptical look on her face.

“This is the one Tina…it’s beautiful!” Bette smiled a broad smile. “And it only took me an hour to pick it out…look at it T…wait until it’s all decorated…it’ll be so perfect.”

“Now you’re sure this is the one?”

“Yup…totally sure.”

“Ok…let’s pay and get out of here. I’m sure Taylor and Dylan miss us…it’s almost that time Babe…”

“Yeah let’s go.” Bette grabbed Tina’s hand and pulled her close to her. “You know…we could put the tree up tonight and have a good time checking out the decorations.” Bette winked at Tina.

“Yeah sure Babe…I’d love that! Any excuse to be with you. Absolutely any excuse to have my way with you.” Tina kissed Bette. “Now let’s go Baby!”

Bette paid for the tree and once it was securely in the back of the van they were on their way home. When they arrived the babies were sleeping and Jackie was making dinner.

Jackie looked at the two of them. “You didn’t?”

Tina looked at her mother. “We didn’t what?”

Jackie raised her eyebrow. “I know you two…you…the van….you know!”

Bette laughed. “Yes we did…what was it T…like four times or something like that?”

“Not that I was counting or anything but yeah…something like that. Endless energy!!!”

“Hey T…since the babies are sleeping…why don’t we put the tree up? Let’s get it out of the van ok?”

“Ok…you’ll need to guide me into the house Baby. You’re not lifting it!”

“Ok…I won’t lift it…let’s go…I love this.” Bette had all the enthusiasm of a small child. She absolutely loved Christmas.

Once out by the van, Bette pulled Tina to her. She kissed her and then gave her a hug. “I love you Sweetie. Thank you for indulging me today.”

“Oh Babe…it was my pleasure…believe me … it was SO my pleasure! I love you Babe…so much. Ok – let’s get this bad boy into the house.”

Once inside the house, Tina put the tree in its stand. Jackie stood with them looking at it. “Hmmmmm….how come it looks….?” Tina smacked Jackie on the arm and looked at her…very clearly signaling for her to shut up. “It is the most beautiful tree I’ve ever seen Sunshine!”

“Thanks mom…I love it! Do you want to help us decorate it tonight?” Bette smiled at Jackie. “That would be fun!”

“Actually…I have a date.” Jackie continued to look at the tree.

Tina turned and looked at her mother. “A date? With who? Where are you going? When will you be home?”

Bette looked at Tina and laughed. “God Tina…what is this? The third degree? Practicing for when the kids are older? This is your mom. I’m sure if she wanted to give us details….SHE WOULD! RIGHT MOM?” Bette looked at Jackie with questioning eyes.

“Yes…if I wanted to…I would tell you.” Jackie went back to looking at the tree.

Bette and Tina looked at each other. They both shrugged their shoulders.

Tina couldn’t contain herself. “I can’t believe you aren’t telling us…come on…we told you Bette had four orgasms today…the least you could do is tell us who you’re going out with.”

Bette looked at Tina. “Tina…must we get into details about my orgasms? We never said I had four! What about you T?”

Jackie turned and looked at them. “Ok…but don’t freak out on me ok?”

“Why would we freak out mom?” Tina was dead serious as she asked the question.

Jackie looked at her daughter. “Are you kidding Tina? Remember last time? My God…you freaked out..totally!”

“Yeah you’re right…but I have come to terms with that….please tell us.”

“Ok…you’d find out anyway when he comes to get me.”

Bette grinned. “He? Hmmmmmmm. An equal opportunity……”

Tina cut Bette off. “Shut up Bette!”

Bette continued to grin at Jackie…and when Tina wasn’t looking she gave her a thumbs up!

“Ok…ummmmm…well…you both know him….”

Bette and Tina looked at each other….both totally puzzled.

“Ok…I’m going out with…..”

Tina sighed. “Spit it out mom!”

“Melvin!”

Bette looked at Jackie. “No *****! My father? No *****!”

Tina’s face turned ashen. “Oh my God mom!”

“See? I told you that you’d freak out!”

Tina looked at Bette…then at Jackie. “Oh my God…are you sleeping with Melvin?”

“Not that it’s any of your business but NO I AM NOT SLEEPING WITH MELVIN!” Jackie shook her head. “Not yet! I’m kidding little girl.”

“We’re going out to dinner and then to see the Nutcracker – is that ok with you?”

Bette burst out laughing. “The NUT CRACKER HUH?”

“Oh God Bette…this is my mother and your father we’re talking about.” Tina was clearly annoyed by Bette’s joke.

Bette was doubled over laughing now. “Oh God! You and Melvin! You’ll be great for him….have a great time mom!”

“Thank you Sunshine!”

“Yeah mom…have a good time…ok…just have a good time.” Tina walked out of the room.

“Go ahead Sunshine…she needs to talk.” Jackie gave Bette a hug. “Thank you for not having a fit about this…I am not sleeping with your father.”

“It’s none of my business…and if you were…well…who am I to judge you?”

“Sunshine…suddenly you’re such an adult!”

“Scarey isn’t it?”

“Not scarey really…refreshing!” Jackie smiled at Bette.

“Well I better go put Tina back together….she gets so worked up over this type of thing. She just can’t stand the idea of you being with anyone. I’m not quite sure I know what it’s all about. Anyway…we’ll be back in awhile.” Bette gave Jackie a kiss and left to find Tina.

Tina was in the bedroom …in bed…laying on her side. Bette crawled into bed behind her and put her arm around her. She pressed her body into her. “You ok Sweetie?”

“Yeah. It’s just hard to imagine my mom with anyone. What’s wrong with me?” Tina could feel tears forming in her eyes.

“I don’t know T…but maybe…since you almost lost her once…I mean ..you know…the cancer thing. Well – maybe it’s just hard for you to think of her being with anyone else because…well…maybe you see that in some way as losing her. Maybe you could try to look at it as sharing her. You know? Your mom is always going to be your mom…she loves you more than anything Sweetie. You have to know that. You have so many people in your life who love you…you’re never going to be alone T. Never. Tina?”

“Yes Babe?”

“Please turn around and look at me.”

Tina turned over and looked at Bette.

“Awww Sweetie…those tears….so beautiful.” Bette kissed a tear from Tina’s cheek. “I love you so much.” Bette kissed away another tear that had fallen from Tina’s eye. “You and your tears…so precious T…so precious.”

“Bette…Baby?” Tina looked deeply into Bette’s eyes.

“Yes?” Bette smiled a sweet smile meant just for Tina.

“Please make love to me.”

Bette didn’t say a word. She kissed Tina on her forehead, her cheeks, and then settled in for a passionate kiss. As she pulled away from Tina after the kiss ended, she looked into her eyes. She motioned for Tina to sit up as she herself sat up. They were facing each other. Bette reached out with both hands and touched Tina’s cheeks. “So beautiful Baby.” Bette pulled Tina’s shirt off over her head and let it fall to the floor. She reached around he and unfastened her bra and gently removed it. She let it fall to the floor. She ran her fingers over Tina’s nipples. Tina trembled at her touch. Bette quickly removed her clothing and then motioned for Tina to lay back down. She slowly pulled Tina’s pants and panties off of her. “So beautiful…so…very beautiful…so very ..mine.”

Tina whispered through tears. “I’m all yours…all yours…I love you …so much…” Tears rolled down Tina’s cheeks. “Please make love to me.”

Bette licked the tears from Tina’s cheeks and then kissed her lips…pushing her tongue into Tina’s mouth. Tina’s tongue responded to hers. It was a long, deep kiss. Bette sat up on the bed. “Tina…please sit in my lap.” Tina positioned herself in Bette’s lap. “Now…put your head on my shoulder.” Tina did as Bette told her. “Stay like this for awhile Sweetie…I just want to feel you close to me…I want you to feel loved. Please tell me you feel loved.”

As Tina rested her head on Bette’s shoulder she whispered to her. “Baby…I feel so loved…oh God….I love this…feeling so close to you…I adore you Baby…”

Bette continued to hold Tina close as she whispered to her. “Tina…you’re my life…you and our family…my whole life…everything I’ve ever wanted…everything I’ve ever needed. And I feel so in love with you. Tina…believe me…you will never be alone. I’m not going anywhere…and soon we’ll have five kids….you’ll never be alone. This is all the story of us…where we’ve been…where we’re going…all the good times…all the bad times. Look how strong we are…nothing is ever going to tear us apart. We’ve never been stronger as a couple…as a family…there is so much love here…just so much love T.” Bette gently ran her hands up and down Tina’s back…and then her sides. “Tina…there is nothing I want more than to make love to you…now.”

Bette laid back on the bed with Tina straddling her. She moved her hands up from Tina’s hips…to her tummy and then to her *****. “Tina…I have never seen anything more perfect than you…look at you…I mean all of you…I am so lucky to have you in my life. Your inner beauty surpasses your physical beauty…you are just…God Tina…I’m so in love with you.” Bette gently moved her hands over Tina’s body. “I need to touch you…everywhere T….I want you…I need you. I need to touch you.”

Tina moved her hand until it was resting on Bette’s. She slowly moved Bette’s hand down between her legs. “Please Baby…touch me…please touch me…I need you inside me…”

Bette moved her fingers slowly into Tina. “Like this Sweetie? Is this what you wanted?” Bette swallowed hard as her fingers slid effortlessly in and out of Tina.

“Yes….just like that Baby…like that.” Tina threw her head back.

“Oh my God Tina…you did that head thing…oh my God…..you are so *****!” Bette moved her fingers more quickly as she felt her passion rise with Tina’s. “Tina…you’re so wet…so wet!”

“Are you wet too baby?” Tina choked out the question.

“Yes…Tina…I’m wet…we’re both wet. So wet…oh my God Tina.” Bette continued to move her fingers. “Is there anything else you want me to do to you…for you Tina. Anything…please…if there’s anything I can do …please tell me.”

“Bette…just….just…keep moving…please…Baby…I’m ….Baby……” Tina felt her ***** begin rippling through her.

“God Tina…it’s ok…I’m here….that’s it….I feel you….Tina…I feel you…I love you….I am so in love with you Tina….let it all go for me……”

Tina fell forward into Bette and quickly rolled off of her and reached for her…pulling her to her side. “I can’t get close enought to you Baby…please…closer….move in closer…I love you Baby…so much….please hold me…just hold me.”

Bette wrapped herself around Tina and held her close. “I love you Tina…so what do you say…are we going to decorate the tree tonight? I’d love to spend my evening doing that with you…just you and me. Ok?”

“Yes…I’d love that Baby.” Tina let out a sigh.

“Are you ok Sweetie?” Bette was concerned.

“I’m fine…I feel your love and I feel so safe and secure in your arms…I belong in your arms.”

“Yes you do…right here…with me… in my arms…in my heart…in my soul…in my life…you belong with me…forever.” Bette gently kissed Tina’s cheek.
