Beautiful Tuscany

                           The Strawberry Kiss
                                Chapter 11

 The rain had stopped and Bette and Tina headed back to the car. They walked holding each other down the cobble stone path that lay in front of the cathedral. The sun was peering through the clouds its ray hitting their shoulders warming them once again.

“I knew I’d find you Tina said smiling at Bette.”

“I was hoping you would Bette responded.” She smiled sweetly at Tina as she held the car door.

They drove down the back road towards the villa the country glistened with beauty. The sun was now setting lower over the trees and a soft mist of rain began to fall. Tina pulled over to the side of the road, she was humming.

“What’s that song called, she said rattling her brain to remember. It goes, the rain coming down on a sunny day.”

Bette laughed at her. “It’s by Credence Clear Water and it called Have you every seen the rain. Even I remembered that as she laughed again.”

“Don’t make fun,” Tina snickered. “Well whatever, I was just thinking about it. It’s raining and the sun is still out. I thought it was an appropriate song for the occasion.” She held up her hand pointing out the window.

Bette looked at her still grinning. She reached in the back and grabbed the blanket off the seat.  Opening the car door, she gave Tina a little wink and said, “Come with me.”

Tina got out and they walked hand in hand across the field towards a clump of trees.

“Don’t you think the view is better from here? She lay the blanket down and smiled loving at Tina.

“It is Tina said, all the while looking at Bette. Much better, she smiled.”

 She couldn’t take her eyes off Bette’s long dark hair that draped over her shoulders. Wet from the rain every long curl hung in place. The sunlight dipped down over the trees and caused a glow around her. Bette’s white gauze shirt was drenched. It hung loose from her body, making it easy to see the shapely figure beneath it. Tina stepped in close. She ran her finger through Bette’s hair then across her bottom lip. Bette’s mouth opened slightly touching Tina’s mouth with her own. Passion swept through them the urgency was growing stronger and stronger. Bette braced her self against the tree and Tina slowly began to unbutton her shirt. With each button she kissed her sweet skin relishing in its flavor. Tina unsnapped Bette’s jeans and she pulled them down over her smooth hips. Bette slipped them off and knelt down reaching out her hand. Tina took it and knelt down in front of her.
