Bette looked down again and started crying as Tina reached out and brushed strands of hair out of Bette’s face making her turn to look at her. They smiled at each other, that little private smile then Bette opened the car door.

“Let’s put this one to bed,” Bette said stepping out of the car and moving to unbuckle Angelica from her car seat.

Tina got out and locked the doors as Bette cradled the little girl in her arms and walked toward the house.

After tucking the ill girl into bed, Bette and Tina kissed her forehead lovingly than retired to their room. Tina sat on the bed as Bette walked around the room, getting ready for bed.

“Hey Bette?” Tina said.

“Hmm?” Bette said turning to look at her.

“I wanna make a promise to you too,” Tina said.

Bette looked surprised, but she walked over to the bed and sat beside Tina, grabbing her hand.

“I promise,” Tina said looking deep into Bette’s eyes, “that I will trust you, and lean on you, and never take you for granted, and never again doubt my love for you, and to never, ever leave you for another again.”

Bette couldn’t hold back her tears and neither could Tina. Smiling widely, the women embraced each other tight, sealing the promise.

9:15am

Bette’s eyes snapped open and she wiped the tears from her eyes looking at Tina.

“Baby, are you okay? What did you remember?” Tina asked.

“When Angelica got sick and we made those promises to each other,” Bette said.

“A promise I still intend to keep,” Tina said smiling.

“As do I,” Bette said.

“Very good,” the hypnotist said, “use that to your advantage. Tell your brain to give you more of those moments with your girlfriend.”

Bette closed her eyes again and a second memory surged.

Flashback

“Uh,” Tina moaned bringing her head up and setting it back down on the bed. It was at that moment when Bette sucked in her clit hard making Tina moan louder.
