“open up this ***** door or i swear to god i’m coming in through the ***** window!!” david  half way opens up the door, bette comes barging through it only to find tina on the ground holding one hand on her face the other up in defense. with protection of only tina on her mind bette picked her up, leaned her against her body for support as they walked out the front door. ” she’ll stay with me until she’s ready for you. and i did nothing to her, nothing .” bette said as she closed the door for tina.>



” that’s my daughter you bring her back to me!!” vanessa screamed as she ran to front door knowing that she wasn’t really going to stop them. upset and embarassed she headed straight for the phone saying ” i’ll be damned if i let that little ***** embasrras me like that.” david snatched the receiver from her while screaming at her “what the ***** are you going to tell them that you just slapped the ***** out of your daughter, who you haven’t seen in years and that she’s run off with one your boyfriends employees! i don’t ever want to see hit or harm that child again. what the ***** is wrong with you!!” realizing how true and ridiculous it sounded she walked over to the fireplace and fell to her knees. saying ” i can’t believe i raised my hand to her again!”>



” she ***** hit me again, i can’t believe this is happening to me!” tina lashed out to break the silent tension which filled the car. not knowing what else to do bette pulled over . she grabbed tina to hold her but tina pulled away screaming ” don’t touch me. please don’t ***** touch me!” seeing the hurt in bette eyes by these words tina jumped out of the car running into the darkness of the woods. with nothing but the moon to guide her into a place where she had never known. bette ran after her screaming for her to stop, tina had no choice but to stop running she knew she didn’t know where she was going. bette found her way to tina drenched in a soft georgia moonlight sitting, crying uncontrolablly.>



” i’m sorry, i just can’t let you see me like this.”  feeling weak and defenseless she fell imto bette seeking a comfort she knew she hadn’t felt in years.  feeling tina’s pain she opened her arms wide and let tina fall into them accepting her fully and completely. sobbingly tina said” this isn’t  the first time she hit me. when i was eight she was falling down the stairs and tripping on the furniture. we were alone in the house. my father came home and he saw her in the living room drinking. so he asked where i was and she didn’t know, she got so freaked out. finally my dad found me under my bed and he said i was saying that mommy turned into a monster. she snatched me from my father and slapped to rthe ground yelling at me.  my father hit her so hard tht he broke her right eye socket. can’t you see how fucked up i am, everything around me turns to ***** when i touch it!”  ” i’m sorry.” bette said feeling nothing but pain and sarrow for this abused and broken girl before her. feeling sad that she was forced to open herself up to her, bette could only hold her tighter.>



” no, i’m sorry you had to see what a fucked family i belong to and this is only our first date.” tina said trying to add a little humor to the air. ” you thought this was a date?” bette asked with eyes so wide and hopeful. ” well yeah.. ” was the only words tina could get out before bette rushed in with kiss so forceful and gentle it made tina plunge into bette for what seemed like an eternity of kissing. wanting to continue and feel the inner teachings of bette tina withdrew herself from bette’s touch and said” can we just go somewhere and sleep.”  tina felt so stupid that she thought bette would think she was easy and just trying to use her if she slept with her on the first date. hesitantly bette said ” you can stay at my house with my dad, my brother and me.” loving the idea of being anywhere else but with her mother she agreed.>



in the car bette still had some music playing. ” what is this? asked tina ” this is ibrahim ferrer he’s one of my mother’s favorite cuban singers, this is his song ” dos gardenias” it’s very sad and yet very beautiful.” tina saw something in bette that opened eyes to bette in a new way. listen she said as she translated  the words for tina while diving deep in to her eyes ” two gardenias for you mean i want to tell you, i love you, i adore you, my love. pay them all your mind. they will be your heart and mine. two gardenias for you with all the warmth of the kiss i once gave you. kisses like you’ll never know in the arms of another. they will live beside you and talk to you as i do. you’ll even believe they’re saying ” i love you”. but if one evening my love’s gardenias should die, it’s because they have discovered, that you have betrayed me and that you love another.>



by translating the song bette had unknowingly lit a passionate fire within tina. tina took hold of bette pulled her close and kissed her so forcefully it took bette by surprise. feeling nothing but passion coming from tina she gave into the kiss. they each anxiously began pulling off one anothers shirts. bette’s perfect body and beautiful skin glowed in the moonlight. when tina removed her shirt she felt insecure and open to every bit of bette’s ridicule. tina’s head dropped in fear, noticing that tina felt vulnerable to her bette lifted tina’s eyes to hers and said so gently ” you’re beautiful!” it was almost as if she said so loud that tina could feel her words run through her. with that tina felt bette turn her around feeling her way around her young, full body. tina let her head roll back onto bette’s shoulder as she rubbed the back of her head almost holding onto it for support. bette’s fingers ran deep within tina.



rocking her every movement on the hood her car, bette just kept repeating ” you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, you’re so ***** beautiful.” tina felt every inch of her body’s sensation all while saying ” deeper.” tina opened and accepted bette as widely as much as she could. bette went as deep as the soft lining of tina’s body would allow before tina’s muscle began to tighten and she pulled bette closer into her ***** and freed herself loudly, openly, and freely onto bette…
