    Fée Marraine: A Fairy Tale in Four Parts (4)

    Tina held the award up. “I could never forget her.”

    “Ms. Kennard,” a reporter butted in. “Please, a picture with you and your award.”

    “And my wife,” Tina added with a giggle.

    She and Bette posed for a few photos and then began heading back to their seats.

    “I wish you could have seen Helena’s and Jenny’s faces,” Bette said snickering.

    Tina shushed her and then added, “I suppose I’ll have to face them at the after parties. Unless…”

    “Unless what?” Bette asked, pausing at the entry to the main ballroom.

    “Unless we skip the parties and go right home and have our own private celebration,” Tina said suggestively.

    “With you all dressed up looking like a princess?” Bette asked. “No way. I’m taking you dancing and showing you off.”

    Tina tugged her hand, keeping her from going further. “I like when you say that. I like that you want to show me off.”

    Bette kissed her gently once more and touched one of the earrings. “Well you are my princess after all.”

    “And you my fairy godmother.”

    “Ah, but sweetheart, I don’t have a magic wand,” Bette teased.

    Tina lowered her voice and nuzzled her ear. “Mmm, but you have magic fingers and a magic tongue.”

    Bette shuddered and blushed. “Maybe we’ll skip the parties after all,” she said, and she winked before pulling Tina back out to the ballroom and over to their seats to watch the rest of the awards.

    …and later that night as they lay skin on skin with the moonlight drenching the bed sheets and their bodies, they held each other in the aftermath of their lovemaking. They talked and whispered, giggled and wept until they began to drift to sleep.

    Tina rolled and spooned Bette’s back and watched out the open window, noticing the sky was unusually clear, the stars unusually bright. And just before she closed her eyes she caught one star in particular winking brightly at her.

    “Goodnight, Stell,” she whispered.

    Indeed, a goodnight it would be…a goodnight, a good year, a good lifetime, for Tina had made a wish and found the courage and the love to see it through.

    And, it is not at all a fairy tale to say, Tina and Bette lived happily ever after.

    1. I know I’m two weeks late. Bad BenMac, bad girl! And I realize this chapter should have been broken into two chapters. But four is a factor of eight and eight is my special number. Also, I had this cool graphic I found on Twitter of Cinderella dancing with a princess, but I’m not skilled like Blackbird and don’t know how to upload it to the story. Bummer.

      Anyway, this was fun to write and light and sweet with no tears. I have a single chapter short story that is soul crushing, but Dainty told me not to post it ’cause you all would storm my house if I posted a sad TiBette tale with a devastating ending. So I guess I’ll start to work on either the crime detective or high fantasy (both with happy endings!). I’m trying my hand at many genres so I can learn from them. And the zombies are still lurking somewhere in my notes.

      Thanks for reading and commenting and tweeting and emailing and sending me good thoughts and vibes.

      xoxo,
      BenMac

      • 2 weeks late – what’s 2 weeks! I’m sure I speak for many when I say I don’t mind waiting to read stories such as this written by you.

        Thank you for this and all your other previous stories particularly, Bette’s 2nd Grade Crush, The Groves and , of course, the eternal rocks… You make me laugh, you make me cry, you scare me but most of all you entertain me.

        I’m glad you did not split this into two Chapters, you spared us a wait for the next part. This was a great story to wake up to here in the UK and you’ve got my day off to a wonderful start, so, again, Thank You.

        Loved the link to the Song and don’t worry about not linking to a photo. I bet Blackbird would be pleased to help though. You 2 are like *Diamonds in the Sky* of Writers.

        Can’t handle a Tibette story with a devastating end Ben but look forward to the other *gems* from your pen be they detectives or zombies!

        Happy Holidays Ben and look forward to your next post, I really did *Enjoy*!

      • Fantastic chapter. Happy they did get together and undoubtedly will have a happy life together along with little Tinas’ and little Bettes running around. It was indeed a modern day fairy tale. I can imagine the three ugly roommates reactions when Tina won the award. Good for them for the way they treated her. Take care, hope you and family have a wonderful holiday season. See you next year. Thanks for sharing the story with us.

    3. Thank you for posting again another extraordinary story. When I see you posted I am always exited to read any new chapter of your stories.

      I can’t wait to come back to you, but maybe you could give us now is a Christmas tale :P

    5. I loved this story, but it came as no surprise since I love everything you write! And it also made me reread H+, one of my all time favorites, right up there with The Groves. I’ll be looking forward to reading your future stories, I hope we will eventually see both the crime detective and the high fantasy. It is just a joy to see a new post from you and to read that you intend to keep writing. It will bring great happiness to me – and to all the readers, I’m sure – to see you gifting us with your amazing talent for years to come.

    9. BenMac..This is my first comment to this story and for any of your fanfic..Between my storytelling and all I haven’t been able to read as much but…WOW!! Amazing!

      Can’ say enough about it. This was an enjoyment to read from start to finish and it’s no wonder that you are in a different stratosphere when it comes to writing along with several others on here.

      Thanks for inspiring! Enjoy the holidays and I am slowly trying to finish your other phenomenonal works!

    10. I lost track of what you write about.
      you’re my favorite author, because if I remember correctly
      was for you that I stopped being a silent reader.
      I love all his works, is that you know that I love
      the “eternal rocks”, I told this story
      deserves to be published in a book with night
      autograph, but today is not the eternal rocks, but
      your new story. I have not read or are reading now.
      I want to do for tomorrow when I get home from work
      knowing that I will have a wonderful story waiting for me.
      When I finish reading tomorrow I’ll do my comment.
      Good rest, and I will await your return.
      love you
      All the stars for you.

      Note: sorry my English.

    11. That was absolute perfection. You my dear never disappoint. I know most of us want a happy ending for TiBette, but a sad story is okay to read, as long as it is not a story where they are cheating on one another, I can handle one of death and loss, it is a natural part of life, as long as there is some love and happiness before the sadness.

    12. Finally managed to read this story
      enchanted, loved it!
      I will not praise you, all right! you
      is fantastic !!!! my favorite writer.
      This time you do not take my tears, as
      made me the eternal rocks (my favorite), but I traveled
      to the enchanted world, with this modern history;
      Cinderella, and you gave us a message
      even with this digital age modern world, we can not
      forget to be good with people greet
      the input or output, and have a clean conduct.
      All the stars for you.
      Note: I had problems to complete and finish this story to
      everything wrong that happened to me since 25, the provider
      my internet has given cart when I was halfway
      history, boom! be without internet again, and was now
      finish with no problem.

    13. My apologies for the belated reply…I haven’t been around much these last several months, but I just caught up with this one and wanted to comment on how spectacular a tale it has been. Cinderella was always my Disney favorite as a child. Also, I enjoyed seeing the earring plot make it into this story. It was a touching throwback to the show. I would ask if that was intentional, but after reading all of your stories, I don’t suppose I have to raise that question as your writing is always filled with thoughtful allusions.
