“Are you ready?” I asked softly, before raising up and espying a rectangular package decorated with brightly colored paper and large bow setting on the coffee table.
“Sit with me for a minute,” Bette requested, looking up and taking my hand.
When I seated myself next to her, Bette reached over, picked up the box, and placed it on my lap.
“Helena, before you open this, let me confess that it’s a bit of a selfish gift,” she said. “And I was a bit puzzled as to what to get the woman who seems to have everything.”
I looked into Bette’s eyes, and stroked her cheek lovingly with my fingertips.
“Bette, I didn’t have everything until you came along,” I asserted quietly.
Bette grasped my fingers and held them to her lips, kissing them tenderly.
“Just open it,” she said unpretentiously, placing my hand on the box.
I pulled off the bow and peeled back the paper. Inside I found a beautiful set of brushes and paints in a hand-carved, wooden box. I ran my hand lightly over the contents, smiling.
“They’re exquisite, Darling,” I said admiringly.
“Canvasses are to be delivered later this week,” Bette explained, stroking my arm. “Do you see why I said it’s a somewhat selfish gift? I want to enjoy what you’re going to do with it. But, at the same time, I also want you to find fulfillment in something at which you’re so talented. And I wanted to give you something that would be a tangible reminder of how special I think your work really is. Oh, fuck, I don’t know what I’m trying to say. Except I love you. And I want you to paint.”
Frustrated with herself, Bette fell back on the couch.
I closed the box and placed it gently on the table. Turning to Bette, I pulled her up, kissed her, and enfolded her in my arms.
“Darling, I understand exactly what you’re saying. Thank you. I love your gift. And your sentiment.”
Bette drew back and looked in my eyes searchingly.
“I’m glad you understand, and I’m glad you like the brushes. Even if it’s not the painting I wanted to get for you,” Bette lamented.
I stood up and patted Bette’s knee. “Come on,” I smiled, taking her hand. “It’s my turn.”

Thanks for this story. I can hardly believe its been six months since you first posted, but I’ve loved reading it.
oh no, say it isn’t so!! i absolutely, positively loved this story and your writing. i do not take for granted how time consuming this is and how much energy writing requires…especially when you’ve done a fantastic job. THANKS for your story, it was GREAT and you deserve time off. but just in case you get anxious, feel free to start a belena sequel with B&H and the kids 2 years later. cheers and MERCI BEAUCOUP!!!
zheese, Thank You for a wonderfully moving story. I hope after you rest…and digest…and contemplate, you return and grace us with another story. I will read anything you write!!
Thanks for the ride zheese. It was fine. I certainly can understand wanting to take a breather, but I hope you come back in time. So Bette bagged the beautious Peabody? A girl could do worse. Shit, Peabody didn’t do too badly either.
Thankyou, for your talent at writing, you have given special life to these two all your own. We are lucky readers who get to tag along for the ride. So much of the story was about just these two, without the distraction of tina in the mix…it allows the reader to enjoy their love without too much drama…Thankyou, I’ll be here waiting for another story should you feel like writing….
