Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around her chest, and placing kisses along her neck.

“Mmm…Who is this?” Bette teased

“Haha your funny Porter” Tina replied

Tina placed a long thin box in front of Bette.

Bette picked it up and smiled

“What is this?”

“This is for you” Tina replied sitting on Bette’s lap.

Bette wrapped her arm around Tina and brought her close and kissed her.

“You didn’t have to get me anything” Bette said

“I know but I wanted to, well aren’t you going to open it?”

Bette smiled as she opened the box and pulled out a platinum chain attached to it was a small platinum heart surrounded by diamonds, in the heart there were the initials ‘F L & F in the center.

“Tina it’s beautiful, I love it” Bette leaned in and kissed Tina’s lips

“You know I realized when I was in London, just how much I missed you, I knew I wanted to spend forever with you, you are my first, last and forever.”

“You’re too kind to me you know that? Thank you for giving us a second chance for giving me a second chance I promise I won’t let you down again, ever”

“Baby we won’t let each other down, I don’t think I can take not having you by my side.” Tina kissed Bette

“Can I put it on you?”

“Please” Bette smiled

Tina reached for the chain and brought it up to Bette’s neck, when she noticed the other chain that held the ring Tina gave her Tina reached to take that chain off, Bette reached and placed the palm of her hand over the hanging ring and her chest.

“No, I can’t take it off”

Tina leaned down and kissed Bette’s cheek.

“Trust me, can you trust me?”

Bette hesitated, she closed her eyes, and dropped her hand away from her chest, and let out a breath

“I trust you T”

Tina took the chain off and replaced it with the one she bought Bette in London.

Tina took the ring off the chain and kneeled in front of Bette.

“I knew in when I saw that necklace in London it would replace this one, I had made up my mind then and it was confirmed when I saw you in my bed this morning that this, you and me was what I wanted. I want to argue with you so we can, make up, I want to cry with you so we can then laugh, I want the good, the bad and everything in between, I want us, forever.”

Bette had tears in her eyes as her hands stroked Tina’s face her heart was full with so much love for this woman.

“Bette will you marry me?” Tina whispered her own tears threatening to fall.

Bette’s heart stopped beating as she kneeled in front of Tina.

“You have made me the happiest woman alive, I would love nothing more than to call you my wife, I love you so much.”

“Yes?” Tina said

“Yes” Bette nodded

They kissed, long languid, passionate..

Tina pulled back took Bette’s hand and slipped the ring on.

“Perfect, just like back then…it’s perfect” Tina smiled as the ring slid on effortlessly

“I love you”

“I love you more” Bette replied

They hugged.

“I’m Happy” Bette whispered into Tina’s ear

“Me too” Tina replied

The End.
