Her Guardian – Chapter 22
She walks to the spot where she had laid the blanket on their first real date. Bette sits down and stares out at the water, willing it to calm her.
Tina continues to drive around, looking for Bette. She’s had plenty of time to return from Mom’s. Where could she be? It’s starting to get dark. I can’t drive around all night. She thinks back on their time together and gets an idea. Tina turns her car around and heads to the beach.
As she pulls into the parking lot, she sees Bette’s jeep. Thank God. I finally found her. Now the nerves start to take over. She stands by her car and looks across the beach. Tina finally spots her, sitting down a little ways away. That’s where we had our first date. I should have known. For all her bravado, she can be so sentimental sometimes.
Tina walks slowly and deliberately towards Bette. She stands behind her and takes a deep breath. “Hey.”
Bette looks up. “Hey.”
“Can I sit with you?”
“Sure.”
Tina sits down next to Bette, close enough to talk but not touching her. They are both quiet, trying to figure out the best way to get this started.
“Bette, can we talk about things?”
“I think we need to.”
“I never should have let my emotions get that out of hand. I’m sorry.”
“Tina, you should never have to apologize for your feelings.”
“No. I let my fear and worry run away with the rest of me. It took a while and some advice from mom, but I finally have them under control.”
“Ok.”
“I’m fine with your job and I know how much you love what you do.”
“I do love my job. But I love you too. I don’t want to have to choose.”
“Bette, I love you and I don’t want to lose you.”
“I love you too Tina. And you haven’t lost me. I never should have walked out on you like I did. I was hurt. I’m sorry.”
“Hey, remember what you just said. No apologies for feelings. Let’s just try to explain them to each other better next time.”
“You think you can live with me continuing to jump out of helicopters?”
“Yes. Can you promise me you’ll be as careful as possible and come home to me every night?” Tina counters.
“Yes. So, does this mean we’re ok?” Bette asks.
“That depends on one more thing.”
“What’s that?”
Tina asks shyly, “Will you be my girlfriend again?”
Bette smiles wide. “I never stopped being your girlfriend. We just had a little down time is all.”
Tina smiles back and scoots closer to Bette. Bette reaches her arm around Tina’s shoulder and pulls her against her. They both lean in for a kiss. The kiss deepens and seems to go on forever. When they do separate, Tina sighs and lays her head on Bette’s shoulder.
“I’ve missed you,” Tina whispers.
“Me too. I don’t sleep well without you.”
“I know what you mean. Dana slept with me that first night cause I didn’t want to be alone. But it just wasn’t the same.”
“Can we rectify that tonight?” Bette asks.
“Your place or mine?”
“I don’t care as long as we’re together.”
“Do you have to work tomorrow?”
“No.”
“Let’s go to my place.”
“Ok.” Bette stands up and offers both hands to pull Tina up with her. They embrace for a minute and then lean in for another spectacular kiss, their silhouettes against the horizon providing a perfect end to the day.

i’m feeling an nc-17 coming….pps
I so love your story, talented author, I really do. Few days ago, I read every chapters and it truly touches me… Every new beginning story of our dearest two will always be my weakness, anyway – yours is very sensitive, with a slow pace I just adore. Well, I can see all the sweet pressures on you to put our lovebirds on a pretty NC-17 way, but please continue to follow your heart ! I love slow paces, stories that let Love fully expresses itself before to go on the next level. It’s essential to bring problems like the one you so rightly brang currently, to let characters understand how much communication – above all emotional one – means the world, before to finally consummate their shared feelings. Many, many thanks for such a lovely story, and even more thanks for sharing your talent with us ! Faithfully yours – A.
