“Bette…what’s wrong?” Tina asked, gently stroking Bette’s cheek.

“I can’t stop feeling guilty” Bette cried averting her eyes from Tina.

“Bette” Tina sighed knowing immediately what Bette was talking about “We’ve talked about this…it’s not your fault”

“I know that you don’t feel that way but I just can’t stop…”

“Bette” Tina interrupted her “Please don’t do this to yourself” she said softly, wiping the tears off Bette’s cheeks.

“I’m sorry” Bette cried “Tina I’m so sorry”

Tina softly kissed Bette’s eyes and cheeks trying her best to calm her down and after a few minutes the brunette relaxed and stopped crying.

“So this is why you’ve been spoiling me?” Tina asked looking into Bette’s red eyes.

“Yeah…”

“Bette” Tina sighed “You know I love it when you spoil me…but I don’t want you to do it out of guilt”

Tina leaned down to place a soft kiss on the brunette’s lips.

“You need to talk to me and let me know how you feel…you can’t just let it build up inside of you until you burst” she said smiling down at Bette.

“I love you so much Tina” Bette said, gently stroking Tina’s hair behind her ear.

“I love you too Bette” Tina smiled “Please just talk to me when something’s bothering you”

“I will” Bette smiled bringing Tina down for a hug.

They both let out a breath as they snuggled close to each other and it didn’t take long for sleep to claim them.

Cahpter 29

Like most mornings Bette was the first to wake up but she didn’t mind, she loved lying snuggled up to the blonde, watching her sleep.

She thought back to last night when her emotions had got the best of her and she had completely lost it while Tina was making love to her. Tina had been so good in handling the situation and she had been able to calm Bette down in a matter of minutes.

Bette looked at Tina and smiled, she felt so relieved after their talk last night. Knowing that Tina now knew how she felt and that they could talk about it eased a lot of the pressure she had been feeling.

She slowly eased the sheet down revealing Tina’s bra clad breasts. She slowly cupped one of her breast looking up to see that Tina was still sleeping peacefully. She slowly moved her fingers in a circle on Tina’s stomach loving the softness of her skin.
