Birthday Presence – Part II
“Then love knew it was called love. And when I lifted my eyes to your name, suddenly your heart showed me my way.” Please forgive me – Bette.
Tina ran her finger lightly over the signature and then leaned the card against Bette’s photo.
****
The Bette Porter Gallery was open late on Thursday nights and Bette stayed even later on this particular Thursday, since she would not be in the next day or over the weekend. When she arrived home, Tina was sitting up in bed typing on her laptop.
A suitcase lay on the bed, open and almost full. Bette glanced inside and saw some of her things on the top. She looked at Tina, who did not look up from her work.
Bette reached in and pulled out a swimsuit.
“This is my old suit.”
Tina glanced up from her screen. “Yeah”.
“But my new one is …”
“Nice, but I like that one better.”
Bette looked at the suit again and raised her eyebrows.
“But, did you ever even see me in this suit? I mean it’s probably four years old.”
Tina’s eyes were scanning the screen in front of her. “Once, briefly.”
“Briefly?”
Tina took a long breath. “You made me dinner, we went for a swim.” Tina looked up after she finished speaking.
The memory drifted back to Bette. The velvety warmth of the night, the swim in glowing water, the way Tina had untied the suit from around her neck. A soft sound escaped Bette’s mouth. She put the swimsuit back in the suitcase.
Tina turned back to her work, lowering her head slightly to conceal her smile of satisfaction.
****
Bette turned away, confused and excited. Bette had barely seen Tina all week, something she knew that Tina had done purposely. Tina had acknowledged Bette’s comments and overtures, but had not encouraged them. She didn’t turn away, but she didn’t turn towards her either. But just now, what was that? It was suggestive and flirty and altogether effective.

I wonder where Tina is taking Bette?
Gee, I know how it seems time stands still when you’re wrestling with a problem and it just drags on and on. I’m sure it must have felt like months had gone by for Bette. Say, about 3 of them? Good to see you back, Massmom. Don’t be such a stranger.
Absolutely delicious. Please post as soon as you can.
Fanrastic! Can’t wait for the get away trip Tina has planned. They are off to a good start. PPS
