The Journey 29
Chapter 29
Tina leads me back to bed, holding my hand. She walks me to my side of the bed and stands there to indicate that I should get back in. Once I start to move she returns to her side of the bed. I lye on my back and put my hands behind my head, as had become my habit. I stare up at the ceiling.
Tina: “Bette?”
Bette: “Hmmm Tee?”
Tina: “Are you sure this is what you want?”
Bette: I turn onto my side rather hurriedly and face Tina, one hand between my cheek and the pillow. She is on her side, intensely watching my facial expression. “Why would you ask that?” I ask her slowly and deliberately, I consciously make eye contact for the whole sentence, trying to convey my concern.
Tina: “Because since I have gotten into this bed Bette, our bed, all you have done is look at the ceiling and gotten up to sit outside, the minute I was asleep. I guess I thought that with this being our first night together in two years you might want to
Bette: “Want to what, Tee?” I ask with more patience than I feel.
Tina: “I don’t know Bette, to, anything, hold me, be close, re-connect. All you do is look at the ceiling.”
Bette: I couldn’t resist. “Tee, are you jealous of the ceiling?” Naturally I am teasing her.
Tina: In one swift motion I pull my pillow out from under my head and playfully swat Bette with it several times.
Bette: I am laughing. “Enough, enough, I surrender.”
Tina: I place the pillow back roughly under my head.
Bette: I face Tina. “I used to lay here thinking like this, when we first..” I trail off. “And I guess it’s a habit I picked up again since I came home. Tee, it’s just, it’s, it feels weird. I guess this is not what I expected our first night together again to be like. You have to trust me Tee, when I say I am sure this is what I want, it might take some adjusting that’s all.”
Tina: “Thank you.” I reach out and brush the soft curl of Bette’s brow and push it back behind her ear. It is not lost on me that she looks down, although she does not move away from me. I know instantly that Bette is not ready for any real intimacy. She may be ready for the physical act of *****, as Bette always was but emotionally she is no place for that level of intimacy.

Congrats on the award, you should have won it before now and I have read and enjoyed eash of your stories. Funny how Tina is so sure of what she wants after “teasing” Bette with the back and forth.
Lovely story, at least Bette is realising her past errors. She needs a more eequal partnership with Tina, and I am enjoying that she wants to spend time with her family. As Tina has now realised how much Bette has missed out on. Congradulations on your award, looking forward to your next post.
