Bette sat watching, watching her angel, her Tina. The gentle early morning sunlight danced through Tina’s hair as she wandered around their room, looking for stray clothes.
This must be heaven, Bette thought, everything was so perfect. She was here, with Tina, they were together, they were happy.
Bette was beyond happy, she was euphoric. Tina was her guardian angel, her shooting star, her one, her only, her first, her last, her forever.

Tina kept shooting glances at Bette when she realised she wasn’t completly in the land of the living. Bette was sitting staring into space, and Tina could’ve sworn she was drooling.
It was things like this that had endeared Bette to her so fully. It wasn’t just the physical things, even though Bette was undeniably gorgeous. It was the way she moved, the way she always had something to say, the way she laughed. It was everything, the complete package, her Bette.

Bette was suddenly shocked out of her daydreams by Tina sitting beside her, smiling and kissing her cheek gently.
“I love you” Tina whispered softly. No matter how quiet those words were, they spoke volumes to Bette. They filled her heart with an undeterrant passion, they made her feel like the sun rose and fell in Tina’s eyes, they shaped her world.
“I love you too” She whispered back gently.

Tina felt her spirits lift, as Bettes soft lips whispered those words back to her. She felt like she could fly, just on the power of three little words.

Bette stood up, looking down into Tina’s soulful eyes before kissing her again.
“Come when I call okay baby? I’ve got a surprise” Bette said softly, leaving the feather of a kiss on Tina’s lips before rushing out the room to their stereo.
Bette ferreted through her CD collection, quickly finding the CD she was looking for. Faith Hill’s Breathe. It had the most perfect song.

“Okay T, come to the living room please” Bette called, putting the CD into the player and smiling to herself, moving a few pieces of furniture to leave a wide open space in the middle of the lounge.
Tina came wandering in, still dressed in her PJ’s with bed hair, rubbing her eyes.
“Whats going on Bette?” She asked, sitting on the couch, looking up at Bette with expectant eyes.
“Take my hand, dance with me” Bette asked, offering her hand out to Tina.
Without a word, Tina took her hand, and Bette turned on the CD, then slowly, they began to dance….

Baby I’ve been drifting away
Dreaming all day
Of holidng you
Touching you
The only thing I want to do
Is be with you
As close to you
As I can be

Let’s make love
All night long
Until all our strength is gone
Hold on tight
Just let go
I want to feel you in my soul
Until the sun comes up
Let’s make love
Oh, baby

Do you know what you do to me
Everything inside of me
Is wanting you
And needing you
I’m so in love with you
Look in my eyes
Let’s get lost tonight
In each other

Let’s make love
All night long
Until all our strength is gone
Hold on tight
Just let go
I want to feel you in my soul
Until the sun comes up
Let’s make love

Let’s make love
All night long
Until all our strength is gone
Hold on tight
Just let go
I want to feel you in my soul
Until the sun comes up
Oh, until the sun comes up
Let’s make love

Oh baby, let’s make love
All night long
All night long
Let’s make love

There was an unmistakable ringing silence as the song finished, Bette slowly to a halt as the last notes of the song faded, and just watched Tina.
“Bette….” Tina whispered, feeling her throat tighten as she watched this beautiful woman lay her soul on the line for her.
“Yeah T?” Bette asked, suddenly worried if this was the wrong thing to do.
“Was that an invitation?”
