“Alice’s move couldn’t have come at a better time, six months after our break up, to the day.” Tina said. Bette dropped her eyes in embarrassment. She softly whispered ‘I’m sorry’ and once again felt like strangling her stupidity.

“So am I, but here we are. Anyway, Alice let me rant and rave about how I was so better off without you. Just like I’m certain Shane did with you. Basically she was my friend when I really needed one and Carmen, bless her.” Tina rested her head on the couch’s backrest with her eyes to the ceiling as if stopping possible tears. Bette could see Tina was on a roll and even with possible tears, she wanted to listen to Tina. No interruptions and just allow the tears, because with every talk they had, tears became inevitable.

“You were my sense and losing you made me spiral.” Tina finally spoke. “I filled my days with frivolous friends and flings that didn’t mean anything,” she continued.

Bette closed her eyes at hearing this. The thought killed her hard and fast at hearing Tina confess what Bette’s breaking up with her did to Tina.

“Then I met someone and I lied to myself that it was happiness. Poor Andrew.” She let out a long sigh and looked at Bette, tears now streaming. “You are my happiness and soul mate.”

Bette gently touched Tina’s face, it was so gentle, Tina felt the fingers feather caress her and she smiled through her tears.

“I’m never letting you go,” Bette told Tina. “You my angel are my soul mate and I don’t want my stupidity to stand in the way of our happiness.” She then kissed Tina full on the mouth. A real, honest, full and all encompassing kiss.  Tina slid back into the couch, so that Bette could lie on top of her as they kissed to seal their knowledge of being each other’s soul mate.  Hearts beating fast, skin tingling where the others hands moved and their clits throbbed with arousal.

“TINA OPEN” interrupted them sounding from the door.

Bette slowly pulled away from the kiss and waited for Tina’s now tightly closed eyes to open. She raised her eyebrow and questioningly smiled at her new old lover.
