Tina sobbed to the view of Bette’s opened arms. She embraced the mocha to never let her go. Senses of infinite missing invade her cells. Tears gained her face and her alerted senses tried to absorb everything that emanates from the one she loves. She felt open to receive. She felt alive and saved.

Bette couldn’t say a word because she irradiated feelings.

She felt alive like never before. She felt each grain of her skin was attentive, just like her cells and her pores that cried out loud, energized by the touch of the woman she waited for so long. Her own body amused her with its hunger and electricity.

Inside those arms Bette felt cured. The heart beat she felt thundering against her chest, the muscle from the one that always had determined the rhythms of her life told her about despair and sadness and emptiness. The beats from Tina’s heart also brought her the immense love she wanted to address only to the mocha.

They remain embraced comfortably for seconds, minutes, hours, nobody could precise it. However, the brunette felt the arid days of her life claiming for rain. She wanted to give an end to her dulled years and Bette reached for the only thing she knew would killed the dryness of her soul, what would forever be her aqua vitae: Tina’s lips.

And Tina received her miracle with the soul shining.

“For Christ’s sake, Bette, you’re going to kill my mom…I want both of you, out of this bedroom, out of this room! I want to take my breakfast like families do!”

Since Bette returned from the hospital and agreed to finish her rehabilitation at Tina and Madison’s house, the young brunette saw her mom just wnt up the stairs with breakfasts, lunches, fruits, dinners or missing and love and went down with the most delight smile glued to her face when she returned.

“C’mon, girls! I won’t leave this door. I know that you’re just talking, so please: breakfast!

The door opened slowly and Tina put her head out of the door. “How do you know that?”

“Mom…I want to believe that you´re sane and healthy because I really hope two gorgeous women like you are not playing “only” chess inside this room forhours!!!” Madison pulled her mother out of the room and murmured “ And, please, mom, don’t disappoint me and show her a little of the Kennard hot sauce…” Tina blushed like an adolescent,but her daughter hadn’t finished yet.
