Bed of Lies – Chapter 10
Chapter 10
Wednesday night/Thursday morning.
At 2am, Bette gave up on her unsuccessful attempts to sleep. She grabbed a beer from the fridge, flicked on the solar powered lights and settled on the cushions by the pool. The air was full of the scent of orchids and jasmines… but all she could smell was Tina.
**
Tina lay on the bed in Shane’s spare room, staring at the ceiling. She had put her thoughts and memories into a box and closed them behind a door in her mind. But that was proving futile and she now allowed herself to open the door and unpack the boxes. This was too far gone to ignore, it needed to be dealt with. Her fingers moved subconsciously to her lips, tracing the journey Bette’s tongue had taken, remembering the heat of their kiss, reliving the feel of Bette’s hands on her body and the resulting ache between her legs.
Earlier Wednesday night.
Tina eventually pulled back from the kiss, never taking her eyes off Bette.
“Hi.”
“Hi.”
They still held each other tightly, their breathing laboured; Bette’s fingers trailing lazily over Tina’s back, their hips pushed firmly against one another… until Bette sensed Tina’s hesitation and slowly disengaged, stepping back.
“Sorry.” She did not know what she was apologising for, it just seemed necessary. Tina looked up at the sound of the words, tears forming in her eyes as she shook her head.
“Don’t be.” Tina offered a small smile as she too stepped back, increasing the vastness in the space between them.
“Please… please don’t walk away again…” Bette almost didn’t recognise the earnest voice as her own.
“I’m sorry.” The words were soft and sad, whispered gently into the air, but they were still deafening in Bette’s ears as she watched Tina’s silhouette get smaller.
Wednesday night/Thursday morning.
Tina lay in bed hating herself for walking away. She’d kissed Bette. And then she’d hurt her.
She heard the echoes of Bette’s voice asking her not to walk away… and over and over again she rewound and replayed, knowing it was all in vain. She knew how this scene ended. She tried to rewrite the script: to step closer to the brunette, to smile and ask her to dance. To run her hands up those arms and into that hair. To feel her tremble under her touch. To kiss those lips. And yet… she had walked away.
