Chapter 32

            “I never expected to feel this way again.”  The wonder and confusion evident in her voice. “It’s not the same of course as it was with Tina.  You are two different people.  I really like the way I feel when I’m with you.  Even though its been a short time I feel like I’ve known you all my life.  I find myself looking forward to learning everything there is to know about you.  I don’t know how this happened.”  She met the blue eyes that were shining with love, joy and tears. 

            They sat there for a few minutes in wordless communication, triggering an aching desire in both women.

            Rosanna swallowed, the level of emotion was enormous.  “I think I fell in love with you at first sight.  How crazy is that?”  She shook her head.  “The second I looked into your eyes after you caught me cruising you the strangest feeling came over me.  It was as if the whole room faded away and there was just you and I.  I became wet for you instantly.  Let’s not even discuss the first time you made me come.”  She smiled and shook her head in disbelief.

            Bette laughed.  “That was pretty incredible.”  She admitted. 

            “I knew pretty soon after getting to know you a little that I was in trouble.  I couldn’t stop myself from falling in love with you and frankly with the way you make me feel I decided not to even try.  I decided come what may I would enjoy whatever time God gifted me with you.”  She paused before continuing on.  “So you see when I told you that you were not alone that first night we made love I was serious.”

            Bette’s eyes had grown wide as she listened intently to Rosanna’s disclosure.  By the end her mouth hung open. 

            ‘I’m speechless” Bette stammered.  “This is so hard.”  Bette dropped her head to her hands. 

Chapter 32 (Cont)

            “Honey, I can’t even imagine what all this must be like for you.  I’m blown away with what we have.  If I have a choice I will never let you go.  I can’t fathom how Tina did however that is not for me to know.” She continued slowly trying to navigate her way around the amazing space she found herself in.  “I want you more than words can say and right now the only thing that is keeping me from showing you that is the little girl in the next room and how torn apart you are by all of this.”

            Bette looked at Rosanna again and wondered how this woman seemed to reach inside and understand so much of what she could not put into words.  “Thank you. You are simply incredible.”  After a time Bette continued.  “Can you give me a little time to sort things out in my head and my heart?”

            ‘Do I have a choice?” Rosanna chuckled easing the tension.  “What kind of time are we talking and what are the rules?”

            “How much time do you need and under what circumstances?  I want to press my case and yet I don’t want to crowd you.  I don’t want you to lose sight of this…” Rosanna leaned in for a kiss which started gentle then became demanding; leaving Bette in no doubt that she was loved and wanted.
