Count The Ways
The harmonic song you release from your lips.
The husky tones that could make a nun sweat with desire.
Bette laughed; she felt her skin flushing. Tina knew exactly how to make her feel these things. She was the only one who ever could.
Have you chuckled yet?
Your chuckle:
The laugh that’s so infectious I’m beaming just imagining it.
The laugh I vowed to cause every day of my life.
The laugh I’m so selfishly glad Jodi will never know.
Bette remained indifferent to Jodi’s mentioning; there was no jump in her gut, no pounding of her heart.
There are quiet tears behind your eyes. And here we are.
Your eyes:
The eyes that open directly onto your soul.
The eyes that make me question every single thing I’ve ever been taught.
The most lovely, perfect.. indescribable eyes I’ll ever know.
Bette smiled knowingly, their eyes had always spoken to each other. It was their silent communication across a crowded room that made them so unique together.
And there you are:
The 17 Reasons your sign requests. It doesn’t matter the number, I only need one;
You.
Though, I might add just one more reason why my love for you grows infinitely..
That was it. Bette shook her head in disbelief. That couldn’t be it. What else had she wanted to say?
“What?!” she cried aloud, not caring who heard. She refreshed her inbox, looking for an ending. A single ping alerted her to the waiting message. Clicking it, she held her breath.
.. You never look behind you on flights.
Bette’s eyes narrowed at the short email.
In spite of herself, she turned in her seat slowly. She didn’t conceal the gasp. Her mouth dropped and fresh tears sprung to her eyes. Sat in front of her was Tina.
Tina was right there. In he seat behind her. At her side, Angelica sat with her tiny hands held to her face in a shushing gesture.
“No speak, Mama B” she mumbled happily.
Bette’s tears ran freely down her face.
“How..?” was all she managed.
“If I learnt anything, it’s that anything is possible with you in mind, Bette”
“But.. why?”
Tina’s smile stretched beyond belief at the second question.
“Because there are more than 17 Reasons Why” she said, simply.
And the kiss they shared on that flight to New York was full of promise. With every meeting of their lips, their souls became further entwined, reconnecting instantly as they made old territory new.
As their hands reacquainted themselves together, they each made the other a solemn vow. They both swore on their own hearts and happiness that they would never let go. The promise ran deeper than their consciousness. It became rooted in their minds. It would affect them every day for the rest of their lives and beyond.
They would never again say goodbye.
