Bette and Tina made their way back to Melanie and Lyndsaysmaking sure to be extra quiet when going inside and up to their room.
Are you okay baby? asked Tina as she walked over to where Bette was sitting on the bed.
YeaIm fine.Just a little stressed right now..
And shaking awfully said Tina as she grabbed Bettes hand and pulled her up to a standing position. Come on babeI will run you a hot bath, and you can soak for a while.it will help you to relax said Tina as she pulled Bette in the direction of the bathroom..she took her insideand begun to run her bath
Bette babycome on.. Lets get you undressed so that you can relaxin this nice hot bath.
Tina turned around to face Bette..and Bette was in tears.
Will you stay in here with me, please? asked Bette through the tears
Absolutely baby. said Tina as she pulled her into her arms.. I am always here for you .and right by your side.
Tina began to undress Bette.first her shirt and bra.next her jeans and thong..Bette stepped over into the tub. *****
Is it too hot baby? asked Tina as she felt the water
Its hot..but I have to get used to it.
Yeabut I dont want it to burn you.
It just felt a little warm at first said Bette as she sat down .the water engulfing her up to her stomach AAHhhh.
Feels good, huh? asked Tina.
Really good said Bette as she laid back against the back of the tub..
Glad you like it.
I am sorry about tonight.I had no idea that he would be downtown. said Bette.
Bette.Im not worried about myselfI was worried about you.I am so glad that Brian showed up when he didto save the night.
Brian has always had a way of showing up and making things okay.even if it might be because of him..
I see that said Tina.
There was an awkward silencefor a few minutes
Bette, can I ask you a question?
Yes said Bette as she looked over at Tina.
Did you ever talk about the rape with anyone? she asked.
Just when I was starting to relax said Bette as she ran her hand slowly over the surface of the water.
Im sorry babywe dont have to talk about it now.. said Tina
I never talked to anyone. said Bette as she continued to play with the waternot looking at Tina
Why not? asked Tina.
Because I couldnt.it was embarrassingand degrading..nobody wouldve believed me anyway
Why?
Because he and I flirted around so much
No matter what you did with him makes a differenceyou couldve pulled your pants down in front of him and hollered ***** me.then changed your mind.and that would give him no right to do what he did. said Tina getting angry..not angry at Bette.but angry with the fact that someone had taken advantage of her wife…
I know..but I just couldnt tell anyone.
Baby, if you never discussed it with anyone.then.you need to talk now.
I cant talk about it Tina.
How did Brian know?
I dont know.I never told another soul.unless he told someone something.I am sure that he didnt tell anyone that he raped me though. cried Bette as she looked at Tina.
BaabyI am sooo sorry that you had to go through that..you know..an old friend of mine went through the same thing.and she never talked to anyone..then years later, she came face to face with himand every feeling that she had afterwards came back..the feeling of being followedbeing watched.and everythingshe finally had to talk to someone.I just dont want you to go through that.
TinaI love you..
I love you babythats why I am with you said Tina You are such a strong person.I just dont want to see this come back to u.I dont want it to haunt you.
Can we please just go to bed? Cant u just hold me tonightGod, I wish we were at home.in our bed..
Bette babywe can go home anytime you want too.We can go tonight if you want to. said Tina as she helped Bette out of the bath..taking care of herdrying her off and helping her into her boxer shorts and wife-beater This is all my fault.the whole night
No it isnt.
Yes it is.Deb said that this was a bad ideaif we wouldve listened to her and not went.then we would have never run into Rick.
Ughh.dont say that name.and no it isnt your fault..
Come on said Tina as she then led her wife to the bedroom and into bed
You gonna sleep with those clothes on? asked Bette
No.Im gonna change said Tina as she covered Bette up and walked around to the other side of the bedshe pulled her bra off and wore the same shirt.before pulling her jeans and panties off.sliding into bed next to her wife and cuddling up to her..
I love you sooo much Bette.

They fell fast asleep.and slept for a while until Tina was awaken to Bette sitting in the corner of the room crying..She quickly moved out of Bed and went over to Bettekneeling in front of her.taking her face into her hands. Babewhats wrong?
Nightmare was all Bette could say.

They went and laid back down..Bette in Tinas arms..

I know baby. said Tina
Heum.he said that if I didnt be quiet.he would kill meand I had no other choice but to believe him. she cried.
The tears began to stain Tinas face as well.she felt the pain also.and she felt the anger building up also..

There was a long silence..and they both fell asleep
