"touch me” …..

Bette jumped of her seat .. shocked .. she lost all the words .. and when she finally managed to speak .. she screamed all the wrong ones ….

"what the fuck are you telling me Tina!!” .. “and now you tell me .. we’ve been together for such a fucking long time and you keep this .. this .. AAAH!!”

The anger wave suddenly faded away .. It was replaced by shock, sadness and utter pain "she touched you!" it was a realization statement ..

Then again setting on her knees .. lowering down to Tina’s eye level .. "she touched you?" .. A question desperate for a negative answer ..

Tears rolled over her cheeks as if they were finally able to escape her grip .. She looked deeply into Tina’s eyes .. Waiting for an answer ..
The look on Tina’s face was a blank .. Like if she was uncertain how she should feel or what she should say ..

The brunette didn’t wait long for an answer ..

She got it anyway ..

She pressed her hand over her eyes and clinched her teeth like if she was in physical pain … Then for a moment .. for only a moment .. she sobbed …

Regaining control .. she left her head .. looking straight at Tina .. as if she has just called her ..

Tina didn’t ..

Or may be her heart did and only Bette can hear it!

Bette stretched her hand and touched Tina’s face softly .. So so softly .. She felt the pain her lover was in, despite her expressionless face, and she didn’t want to cause her any more .. not even with a touch of her hand …
"i’m sorry" She whispered .. Tears still rolling over her cheeks .. "I’m so so sorry"and only then she got a response from Tina ..

‘a tear’ rolled over her cheek to land on Bette’s hand .. The brunette stared at the single tear as if it was the most precious thing she ever touched .. She reached closer to the blond and held her, wanting to protect .. her from her past ..
In the strong , kind and protective hands of Bette .. Tina sobbed .. She cried crazily .. Uncontrollably … Finely showing Bette how she really felt .. All the pain .. shame .. And weakness that the eleven-year-old Tina felt … Bette accepted it all .. Trying so hard to control her raging feelings .. She new Tina didn’t need a revenge right now .. She only needed to be held tight and not left alone .. Her secret is finally out .. Her wound is exposed and she didn’t have the strength to stop herself from bleeding out .. And for that she needed her partner …
