The moment where everything fell into place and took them back to the time when holding each other was not the forbidden act it was today. Feeling the other’s breath and warming to the softness of eager mouths that met with passion.
It was so easy.
So real.
And it felt so good.
Most of all, even for just that moment, everything was perfect.
“I’m not going to hide that I’ve wanted that for some time now.” Thinking back she almost visibly quivered from the recent dating experience and having to compare everyone with Bette. The younger woman offered from her core, “Having you near me, it felt so right.”
It was more than a kiss.
It was longing.
It was regret.
A wish.
And hope. There was also hope.
A fountain of feeling wrapped in a shared moment that stole them from their present and reminded them of what was and more.
Looking away it occurred to her it would serve no one to hold back now. “I’ve missed holding you. Showing you that I want you. Touching you. Feeling how soft…”
“We shouldn’t. I can’t.” Bette tried to persuade her companion if not herself to cease. “I’m with Jodi and -”
“Do you love her?” Tina interrupted. Again posing the question from last night. Unconvinced with the answer because her head insisted it couldn’t be true. How could it? Even if in her heart she wished for Bette’s happiness…
Please, she called out silently to anyone who would listen. It can’t be true.
She remembered the brunette’s expression while the lights from the porch reflected in the brown depths of her eyes. Her former partner was thoroughly frustrated and discouraged because of those ‘whys’.
The whys.
The damn whys that she couldn’t, to this day answer. But in many ways it didn’t matter anymore. Her resistance to pushing anything beyond what happened was testament to the person she’d become. Stronger yet softer. Loyal and loving.
“I do.” Bette confirmed again. ”I love her.”
Tina turned her head to look out the window. The side that wasn’t visible to her ex flinched. Half of Tina’s jaw clenched almost viciously while she tried to forestall any other physical movement. The blonde kept to herself the tightening of her chest.

I loved it, timeline or no timeline.
Just as the first time you presented this story, I felt that you had a better handle on Tibette than the writers of the show. They need to take a refresher course taught by you.
Even better the second time around!!!! :)
Thanks for reposting the story in its entirety. I enjoy your approach to the characters and the explanation of motive is often what we don’t see. Thanks for writing, and I hope you have time to share more soon.
i love how you’ve put all the chapters together. it does give a better sense of continuity. and also gives me another reason to read it again (and again).
”…the timeline is not perfect. ” Never worry about that, lwordid. (*my feeling is that anyone who watches tlw has already been innoculated against timeline detail frets. ;-) _ thanks for writing!
aww…loved it and i read the whole thing again, it worked better this way :)
simply lovely……great “stolen” line too! thx for this :-)
12 pages and still not enough! Thanks for putting all the chapters together and allowing your readers to enjoy this story in its entirety. Great stuff, as usual. Thanks for this.
