The Future Looks Brightchapter 2


Bette went to Tinas office and surprised her. She opened her office door and poked her head in. Tina was concentrating on reading something. Bette watched her for a moment then spoke.

Bette: Hey beautiful, are you busy?
Tina: Bette, what are you doing here?
Bette: Well I came to take you away from all this. She looked around at the pile of scripts on Tinas desk.
Tina: Oh babe, Im sorry I cant leave early as you can see Im swamped.

Bette: Mmm well see about that. She took whatever Tina was reading and added it to the pile on her desk. She leaned down and took her face in her hands and kissed her.
Tina: Bette what is going on?

Bette: If you must know. I have made arrangements for us to have a weekend away together..alone. Your lovely assistant Sara has helped me plan this, she has cleared your calendar until Tuesday and I had James clear mine. We, my love are going away for a much needed break and it starts in five minutes.

Tina: What? You planned this all out? Where are we going? I havent packed what will I wear?
Bette: Stop asking questions and just go with the flow, and Ive taken care of everything She leaned in and kissed her again. And Ms Kennard as for what will you wear, well you know I love how you look with out anything at all. She winked at Tina just as Sara came in.

Sara: Hey you twoBette Im glad you are doing this, Tina is in serious need of a break.
Tina: You are in so much trouble keeping this from me. She said to Sara.
Bette: It was all my idea T; she just helped out a little.

Sara: Sorry boss lady, but well I do worry about you and you do need this, so go, get out. I dont want to hear from you until Tuesday.
Tina: Well ok I guess Im being ganged up on here, so lets go babe. She grabbed Bettes hand and they headed out.

In the car Tina was asking where they were headed. But Bette just ignored the question and would kiss her hand or turn up the radio.

Tina: Babe please tell me where we are going.
Bette: Fine T, you want to ruin my surprise?
Tina: Yes. She laughed.
Bette: Well ok youll know anyway in an hour. We are going to the beach. Ive rented a beach house for us.
Tina: Really, I love the beach.
Bette: I know. That helped me decide where to take you. She kissed her palm.
Tina: I love you Bette, this is really sweet.

They arrived at the house. It was beautiful. A big open space of a living room with double doors that opened out onto a deck overlooking the ocean.

The bedroom was the same way. You could open the doors and go out onto the deck or leave them open to smell the ocean. A giant king size bed was in the room. A master bath with tub big enough to swim in. It was spectacular.

After a tour of the house they decided to take a walk on the beach. When they returned Tina could not believe her eyes.

The deck was set up with a table lit with candlelight. There was wine chilling and flowers set on the table. She turned to Bette in awe.

Tina: How did you manage this?
Bette: I have a few friends that helped me out.
Tina: What are you up to Bette? This is beautiful and so romantic.
Bette: I just want to show you how much I love you T. Thats all. Now if you wouldnt mind I think we should go freshen up and get ready for dinner.

Tina: Dinner? Did you cook? Looking worried.
Bette: Funny Tina, you know the limit of my cooking skills. No I didnt but I have something in the oven that will be done in thirty minutes and I dont want to ruin this.
Tina: Oh of course Im sorry baby, I was teasing. She leaned and kissed her. I love the trouble you have gone too, its so sweet.

Bette: Good, now go get ready, Ill take the other room and bath you go to the master bedroom. Ill meet you here in thirty minutes. She kissed her hard.
Tina: Mmm cant wait, Ill miss you.
Bette: Me too.

Thirty minutes later Tina went to the kitchen and found Bette taking the dinner out of the oven. She looked fantastic. No matter how many times she saw her she took her breath away. Bette was dressed in a pair of black slacks that hugged her perfect ***** and a halter top of black that was so open in the front it barely covered anything at all.

Tina: Bette you look delicious. Oh and so does dinner.
Bette: You look beautiful yourself T. Tina was dressed in a pink skirt and top that hugged every curve, her legs looked fantastic in the shoes she had on.

Tina: Dinner smells wonderful.
Bette: Why dont you go have a seat on the deck and pour us some wine Ill bring dinner out?
Tina: Sounds great.

They ate dinner and laughed and talked more relaxed than they had in a long time. They watched the ocean it was so relaxing and the fresh air made them both feel good. After dinner Bette asked Tina if she wanted dessert but Tina declined she was stuffed. Bette cleared the table as Tina watched the ocean.

When Bette returned she had turned on some music.
Bette: Tina would you like to dance?
Tina: I would love to. She stood and Bette took her in her arms. They swayed together to the music, each one lost in the mood. When the song was over Bette took Tinas hand and held it and she kissed it.

Bette: T, you know we have been together for almost a year now. I want to be with you every moment. I feel like we never have enough time together. Thats one reason I wanted us to have this weekend. I want us to have more times like this.

Tina: Thats so sweet Bette; I want us to have more moments like this too. You went to a lot of trouble and I love it. Its been perfect. Thank you.

Bette: Im not finished. She sat Tina on the lounge chair and she sat beside her. She held her hands with hers and looked into her eyes.
Bette continued:
T you have changed my life. I fall asleep every night with you in my thoughts, you are in my dreams, and you are the first thing I think of when I awake………. You have made me a better person. …….. Tina I dont ever want to be with out you………. When I think of my future, I think it wouldnt be complete without you in it……… Tina I love you with all my heart, and I want us to share our love and life together forever………….. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?

Tina was crying at Bettes words but managed to speak after a moment.
Tina; Oh my god Bette yes I would, that was so beautiful, I feel the same way, I want to be with you forever, you are my life and my future.
They kissed and cried and held each other.

Bette: Oh I almost forgot. She handed Tina a small package and a larger package.
Tina: What is this?
Bette: Open the small one first please.

Tina opened the small box. Inside was a necklace with a small charm of a key on it.
Bette: This key represents the key to my heart. Its for you to wear and remind you that my heart is yours.”


Tina was crying again as Bette took it out and placed it around her neck.
Tina pulled Bette to her and kissed her.

Tina: Bette this is so special, I never knew you could be so romantic. She laughed. I love it thank you baby. Ill cherish it always.
Bette: Open the other one.

Tina opened the larger box. Inside it there was a key chain with a key. The keychain was engraved with todays date. A single key was on it. Tina picked it up with a question on her face.

Bette: T this is a key to our new house. I have been looking and I found us a house, if you like it I want us to buy it and move in together as soon as possible.
Tina: You bought us a house? She was smiling as she said this.

Bette: No I havent bought it yet, I want you to see it first. But I think youll like it. I have pictures for you to look at. You can see it Monday when we get back. But if you dont like it its ok, well find something else.

Tina: This is amazing babe, you are amazing. I cant believe all you have been up to.
Bette: For us T. Our future.
Tina: I love you Bette.
Bette: I love you T.

They lost themselves to each other then. They retired to the bedroom.

Wanting to please one another.
Wanting to make love for hours.

Wanting to start their future now.
