Previously:

“Bette……..” Tina became more alert and serious for a moment, almost freaking Bette out. “Bette,……Dana……” Bette had almost forgotten about Dana as she was doing fine when she left for the retreat.. “Oh my god,…..how’s she doing….she was looking so good when I left…..are her and Alice doing okay…..” she rambled.

Tina grabbed her face on both sides…… “Bette…….she’s gone………Dana died this afternoon…..we tried to call you but your phone was turned off……….” Bette’s eyes brimmed with tears which quickly fell down both cheeks, “Oh my God…………Alice…….where’s Alice……T, we have to be with her…………she’ll need us”…… “oh sweet Dana…….” She held Tina even tighter……… “I love you T………..I can’t bear to lose you………..” and she clung to her, and hey clung to each other……………………………….

CHAPTER 2 (you guys suck, I have no will power here)

"Tina, we have to go see Alice, can we do that?" Bette asked, barely able to contain her worry. "She is gonna be an abolute mess," she continued, "T,…..we should go to her…"She continued to hold her tight and stroke he back, relishing in every curve of her body. There was nothing sexual here, just a reaquanting with each others touch.

Tina let out a heavy sigh, almost a quieted sob of sorts. "Bette, we can go see Alice now, I’m okay, if you’re okay" as she gazed at her beautiful features.

"Okay , T, just let me quickly change and we can go, are you alright here for a moment?" she asked.

"I’ll be fine Bette, just hurry back" Tina smiled sweetly and shyly.

Bette laid a gentle kiss on Tina’s lips, taking Tina by surprise, and went to her room to change.

Behind the closed door, Bette collapses to her knees immediately, her senses on overload since the moment she walked through the door. ‘What the hell has gone on since I’ve been gone’ she thinks to herself. ‘It’s like Tina has finally woken up, and all my most inner desires are being fulfilled’. She shivers at the thought of finding Tina on the floor and the raw emotion that she heard from her own voice as she left the message for Ang on the machine. Her body still ached to feel her arms around her again. There was a vacancy in her heart for too long, and Tina was the only one that could fill it.
