Tina looked towards the ridge a far away look on her face. She looked back at Bette, her love and enthusiasm for this beautiful land evident on her face. She reached out and laid her hand on Bettes shoulder. I guess I wanted your first view of it to be as beautiful as mine.”
Bettes eyes softened as she looked across at Tina, a slow easy smile gracing her lips. Then consider my eyes closed she said, as she theatrically covered her eyes with her hands, carefully avoiding the plaster which hid her now slightly swollen right eye.
Tina took a close look to make sure Bettes eyes were indeed closed before turning back to the steering wheel and driving them to the very tip of the ridge.
Can I open my eyes now? asked Bette curiously.
“Not yet,” Tina replied, soon.
Tina watched as the sun started its long descent into the night. And waited impatiently for the first hues of sunset to shimmer across the horizon.
Now,” Tina said. You can open your eyes now she said studying Bette, as she looked up at the scene in front of her.
Bette let out a cry of amazement as she took in the spectacular scene in front of her, looking across the landscape, spotting first the lodge they were to stay at.
It was built in the style of a Masai village, small round huts laid out in a circle around 1 large hut. The thatched roofs shining orange against the setting sun. All of it surrounded by a fence of branches woven together.
She took in the vast rolling grass landscape, the copse of acacia trees standing to the east of the camp, and finally, the imposing figure of the snow capped Mt Kilimanjaro rising up majestically in the distance. She turned to look at Tina, a look of wonder in her eyes.
All the time Bette had been surveying the beauty before her, Tina had been surveying the beauty sat beside her, She watched Bettes expressive face as she took in her surroundings, The wonder in her eyes, the laughter, the childlike enthusiasm she was now looking at Tina with.
“Isnt it the most beautiful thing youve ever seen?” Bette asked as she turned her head back to the landscape before her.I think Ive fell in love with this place already!
Tina continued to look at Bette, a soft warm expression crossing her face. Love at first site? Tina pondered in a whisper. Yes, The most beautiful thing I have ever seen Tina added softly before turning and taking in the picture before her.
The light had started to fade now. The snow capped peak of Kilimanjaro reflecting the colours of the setting sun.
The two women watched as the pure snow changed its hues, from gentle warm pink, to fierce burnt orange, it almost looked as though the now dormant Volcano had once more decided to vent its anger on the rich grasslands. Eventually the burnt orange faded slowly to be replaced by a rich lavender, They watched as the sky grew darker, and the first few stars came into view, soon to be joined by a thousand others, each glittering against the velvet black of the now night sky.
Thank you Bette whispered as she once again turned to Tina, the glistening of unshed tears showing up in her eyes.
For what? Tina whispered back, her own emotions playing havoc with her senses.
For allowing me to see this, for allowing me to be here with you Bette suddenly looked down at her hands resting in her lap. She wasnt used to showing her emotions like this.
I cant think of anyone I would rather experience this with, Tina responded softly as she opened her arms to the emotional brunette. Bette was gathered into Tinas embrace, as both women sat pondering what hand fate had dealt them and how they would manage to get through the next two weeks unaffected by the mesmerising woman they were sat next to.
