If it makes you happy – Chapter 17
Bette relaxed back into the sofa as she watched Tina make her way from the kitchen and come to sit beside her. Taking a deep breath, Bette’s heart skipped a beat as she recognized the scent Tina was wearing. It amazed her how that scent could still evoke so many emotions within her.
“Do you feel better after your shower?” Bette asked.
“I needed that.” Tina admitted, “As much as I love the beach, and I love Angelica, the combination seems to leave me wearing half the pacific coastline.”
Bette smiled as she thought back over their afternoon and how such a simple trip to the ocean had bought Angelica such unbridled joy.
“She’s asleep?” Tina asked as she pulled her wet hair back into a loose ponytail.
“Out like a light as soon as her head hit the pillow.” Bette replied with a smile, “I think all that sunshine and sea air wore her out.”
“She’s not the only one.” Tina proclaimed.
“You’re not flaking on me are you?” Bette asked lightly.
“No” Tina replied seriously, “We agreed to talk tonight and we should.”
“I don’t even know where to begin.” Bette admitted with a slight shrug of her shoulders.
“Then I’ll start, if that’s OK with you?”
“Go ahead.” Bette nodded, largely relieved that she didn’t need to make the first move in what was likely to be a delicate verbal dance.
“I want you to know that I’m sorry.” Tina said as she looked earnestly at Bette, “For what happened yesterday.”
Bette slowly nodded as she watched Tina begin to fidget with her leather watchband nervously. “Why?” She asked eventually.
“I didn’t think you’d need me to elaborate” Tina said with a confused smile.
“I mean, are you sorry because of the outcome or because you didn’t want it to happen?” Bette asked slowly as she ensured that her tone gave nothing away.
Tina pulled a cushion from beside her and lay it in her lap. Bette watched as the blonde toyed with a loose thread at one corner as she seemed to give considerable thought to her response.
“I didn’t want it to happen like that.” Tina answered honestly as her eyes rose to meet Bette’s once more.

I am glad that you were able to post. I have missed this story and was extrememy happy to see it. Is there a chance that those two will put all that pain in the back of their mind and start again. If they could deal with it and then work through the pain then they just may have the life that they want together.
