The whoosh of the air-conditioned breeze, caused by the airports mechanical sliding doors opening, brought the women out of their thoughts, the cool temperature matching the chill both could feel in their aching hearts
They slowly walked to the main departure lounge, the inevitably of their parting weighing heavily on their minds, and in their weary steps. Each foot dragging itself ahead of the other, slower and slower, until they both simply stopped, unable to move any further. As they turned to gaze into each others eyes, a cloud of sadness permeated the air around them.
Tina lowered her head, staring at the long slender fingers of her lover’s hands, and reached out to hold them one more time. “God…I can’t believe that you are actually going to get on that plane. After all we’ve talked about, and everything we have been through…. you’re still going to leave.” Tina looked up into her lover’s sad, dark eyes.
Her companion looked intently back into Tina’s eyes, seeing her own pain mirrored there. “You know baby, it’s not too late, you can still come with me.”
Tina sighed sadly “I can’t…you know I have to stay.” She felt the grip on her hands tighten, as her eyes started to water.
“I know you do, and that’s why I thought that you would understand me having to leave,” the dark beauty insisted urgently. “Tina, you followed your dream…now you have to let me follow mine. She explained patiently “I wanted to stay here and share your dream with you…I really thought I could do it, but I can’t. I have to go back..”
Tina blinked rapidly, desperately trying to hold back her tears. “So, this is it…you’re really going?”
“So… you’re really staying?” Her lover replied with a weak smile, gently brushing the first wet trails from Tina’s soft cheek
Tina leaned her head into the soft caress that she knew she would lie awake at night craving. Not saying anything, she simply nodded her head slowly. The movement dislodged more tears, that were free to cascade down her cheeks, now that there was no gentle touch to halt them.
She quickly lowered her face, allowing her hair to cover the tears, but not quickly enough. The proud and graceful woman standing before her, felt her chest tighten painfully as she noticed the subtle movement. She opened her mouth wide, desperately trying to relieve the pressure she could feel constricting her chest, as she continued in a broken whisper, “Knowing why you’re staying, doesn’t make this hurt any less.”

Can I just say to Seahurst and TBSaver that it is a pleasure to read the collaboration of two such talented authors. Seahurst, I have not been shy in my praise for your talents and it is a blessing to see you expressing yourslef through the written word again. You have been missed and I thank TB for drawing you back to the keyboard.
Intriquing beginning – where will you two wizards of words take us? I will follow even if it’s Tina and Helena.
Wow!! This mademefeel a lot better. This is gonna be awesome.
OMG! I come back from Cleveland and I find this amazing beginning, to what I know will be a wonderful story. You two….we can’t wait for more.
As the self-nominated, self-proclaimed president of the Seahurst Fan Club, i’m behind this collaboration 1000% Thank you tb for encouraging madam seahurst to write again. Fabulous story and truly wonderful writing. Thank you both.
WOW this must be a fucking dream??
first off thanks to T for bring miss seahurst out of hiding I guess I wasn’t special enought for her to do it when I asked. just kidding. HAHA hella just can’t have tina in anyones story. maybe you can spread the word that I’m single and she could come shower me with all that money. just a thought. hmm so much to say, but I need to take a breath and come back. more comments after my second reading.
WHOA! That was so Beautiful Story Hey Seahurst and TBSaver I Love it guys really Wonderful Story Please continue I can’t wait the next chapter Please post soon Thanks.

a great start ladies, and tb….you managed to drag seahurst out of hiding, good on you kiddo. Roll on the next chapter!
A beautifully written beginning by two extremly talented authors. It is truly a gift for everyone that you are sharing your story with us. I’m not usually one to comment, however, after reading this I felt obligated to tell you just how wonderful it is and also to encourage you to please continue.
And on a second note, can I tell you that I just about had a heart attack when I realized it was Helena that Tina was talking to and not Bette! Thankfully you redeemed yourselves at the end of the chapter! You had me worried for a minute there. Although, with a name like TBSaver, I should have known better than to doubt you girls. I’ll be anxiously awaiting your next post!
Ok, I have been given an early Xmas present, 2 of my favorite writers collaborating! Today is a beautiful day! And, on top of it, I get another B&T beginning! I love the twist in the story. I am definitely waiting for updates to this story. Wonderful beginning, btw. Thanks for another B&T story. I cannot get enough of my favorite characters/couple!
What a pleasant surprise to see two of my favorite authors combined!! Awesome start guys, I really can’t wait to see where you’re leading us on this journey!
Whoa…*blinking eyes repeatedly*…*shaking head, blinking eyes, again*. Who says miracles don’t happen! Seahurst AND TBSaver, together??!! Yesssssss!
I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Sucked into thinking it was Bette, that Tina was talking to at the airport. Dang, you guys are good.
A great beginning. Each of you has a gift for describing the small things that bring the surroundings to life and give the characters depth. The masterful way that you weave emotional turmoil and romance together has left me breathless in all of you combined stories. You each have so much talent individually and combining that talent will simply be cosmic. I am looking forward to seeing all of this play out. Our beloved Bette and Tina are in capable hands.
Bette&Tina in Barcelona??? That´s funny. Let them speak some words in catalan. That would be even funnier. By the way, Barcelona international airport it´s called El Prat de Llobregat. It´ll be interesting to see what you´ve thought about their doing in there.
This story is going to be interesting.
Thank you.

My seatbelt is buckled and I’m ready for the ride.
With you 2 ladies writing together, there’s no telling where you’re going to take us; but wherever it is….I’m ready to go.
