Tina woke suddenly when the back of Bette’s hand smacked her square in the face. She shook it off and smirked at the wild way Bette slept, her body tangled in the sheets and her hair tousled all over her head. Tina looked over to the clock and saw that it was still to early to be up and about. She smiled into the familiar silence this house always brought her. The soft sounds of morning coming to life right outside her window. Nature at it’s most rawest form to her. Tina carefully got out of bed and took the comforter off of the floor with her as she left Bette’s room. She wanted to watch the sun come up so she went up into the attic, and sure enough there was Bette’s favorite chair. Tina wrapped herself up tight, bringing her knees up into the chair as she faced the window with the beautiful view.

Bette woke up when she sleepily went for the comforter and couldn’t get her arm out of the sheets. She smiled at the delicious pain her body felt. She opened her eyes and saw that Tina was gone as well. The room was still dark but she heard the morning sounds rather than looking at the clock. She sat up and didn’t hear the shower going and the house was all too silent until she heard the creak in the attic. She got out of bed and went to reach for the sheet but decided against it. So she nakedly ascended the stairs and saw the top of a blonde head resting in her chair. Tina smiled at the new arrival.

“Couldn’t sleep?” she asked now standing behind the chair caressing Tina’s head.

“I was sleeping just fine until someone whacked me in the nose.” Tina smiled throughout her answer. Bette smiled as well, she bent down and kissed Tina’s head and spoke softly, “Sorry. May I join you?”

Tina responded by removing one side at a time to open up the comforter for Bette to sit on her lap. Bette smiled at the vision and took Tina’s hand raising her from the seat as she took the comforter and wrapped it around herself. She sat down in the chair and took Tina’s hand pulling her into her lap. “I want to hold you.” she said hugging Tina tight with the comforter now wrapped around them both.
