*Thump*

“Ouch, goddamnit!” Bette cursed silently as she fell off the bed with a bump. She got up, rubbing her bruised dignity.

“Oh god, it’s 2am in the morning and now in addition to being sore all over, I’ve got a bruise on my ass.” Bette groused.

“Well at least I’m sore for all the right reasons!” Bette’s smirked, running her eyes over Tina’s naked body, half covered by the sheet.

In the moonlight, Tina’s pale skin was made more silvery, giving her a kind of ethereal beauty. Tina was obviously exhausted from their lovemaking, giving cute little snores.

Bette’s mind replayed their lovemaking, from the sweet and slow to the fast and passionate, they had reconnected every inch of their bodies.

“Yes,” Bette thought, “we are truly as one now, body heart and mind”.

Bette had settled in the chair in the corner of their room, in front of their dresser. She sat there, looking at Tina, enjoying this quiet time when she was able to observe her lover at her most peaceful, most natural state.

Her mind flashed back to the events that had led to this day.

Across the miles 
It’s funny to me
How far you are but now how
Near you seem to be

“2 weeks, she was 2 weeks away from marrying Henry. The day she stepped into The Planet, my heart soared, but the saying about how the higher your hopes, the harder you fall is so true. She was so beautiful, big smile on her face. But god, how my heart was broken into so many pieces when she announced her engagement, that smile was for him. It was all I could do not to go and throw myself in front of a car right outside the café. And yet here I am now, in the same bedroom as Tina, in a position I never thought I would be again. Satisfied and sore all over due the ministrations of one Ms Tina Kennard!”

I could talk all night
Just to hear you breathe
I could spend my life
Just living this dream
You’re all I’ll ever need
