Part Fifteen

People consider running as a great stress reliever for endorphins, the hormones that create a sense of exhilaration, generated whenever a person run, an all-natural high, they said. Others like to run because it could keep their body in great shape improve sleeping habits, help a person live longer or even smarter.

With Bette, she run to breathe the fresh air, to explore, to escape the ordinary, she run to savor the trip along the way. For her it’s not just about the physical gratification that it could bring but also about getting out of the door and running when the rest of the world is only dreaming about having the passion that you need to live each and every day. It’s about being on a lonely road and running like a champion even when there’s not a single soul to cheer you on, life becomes a little more vibrant, a little more intense and she liked that. Running also could clear her mind and could give the energy to take on the day, her thoughts sharp and disposition agreeable.

She had been running for over an hour now, not minding the sweat all over her body, the blisters on her feet and the throbbing calves, she didn’t care, no, not a single bit. In fact, she loved the feeling and the wind brushing her damp skin soothed her. Thoughts swirling inside her head while running were like clouds in the sky, clouds of all different sizes. They come and go, while the sky remained the same sky… thoughts that were mainly about Tina.

She was thinking about everything that had happened from that night when she first met the blonde in her Malibu mansion, how the hazel-eyed beauty looked mysterious and sophisticated, how she was taken aback by her sexual proposition, and how she was so intrigued by the blonde’s dark personality. The brunette also remembered the question that lingered in her head why a stunning and wealthy woman like Tina wanted to have sex with her and how her body’s reaction when the hazel-eyed beauty kissed and touched her puzzled her. She was even amazed because when she thought about that night when they first had sex, despite the blonde becoming rough on her all Bette could think about now was Tina’s gentleness and the look of tenderness in those beautiful hazel eyes whenever their eyes would meet.
