Love and Affection chapter 8

Bette and Tina had talked through the night about their lives and memories.  Some funny and so funny that they had started to shed some happy tears for once.  Bette loved the soccer pranks that Tina would pull on her newbie teammates or her mild hazing she had done to freshman in college.  Never had Bette thought that Tina would be so bold to make women walk around in their underwear around the front of the locker room rather inside.  All fun and games it seemed for Tina and she loved her job too in the film industry and liked that Tina had drive to make people happy and herself too with soccer. 

Tina was marveled and envious that Bette was able to compete in any type of Olympics.  Tina made the junior team too in soccer, but she was short of making it to the Olympics though.  Hearing Bette’s passion for art and history was amazing.  Bette knew so much not just about art, but the technique and who or how it was started.  As they were sleepily telling stories, Bette heard some birds outside.

“Oh my gosh, did we talk all night?  Ugh, work is going to suck today.  It was worth it though, thank you Tina for a wonderful night.”  Bette touched Tina’s face and kissed her lips.  She noticed that Tina was dozing off to sleep being held by her girlfriend, a topic that was discussed and what Tina wanted from Bette.  Bette was comfortable and very proud to be Tina’s girlfriend.  Bette grinned on how cute Tina was when she had asked her, “Bette can we be girlfriends?”  At first Bette thought she would give Tina a hard time, of course we are friends, but instead she saw love and passion in Tina’s eyes and said yes to Tina with a searing kiss. 

“Babe, no work.  Saturday…come her and hold me closer..I am cold.”  Groggily Tina was reaching for Bette.  “Right it is Saturday and I have to go in for a few hours to wrap up some details for a show next week.  I have a …”  Bette thought why is she telling her sleeping beauty this stuff..she is almost dead to the world.  Bette was stroking Tina’s hair as she had fallen asleep against Bette curled and smiling.
