”No, you won’t drown. You’re strong. You’ll survive.
You won’t be destroyed… you’re stronger than all the rest… I won’t
destroy you… Even when I can’t help myself and try…”
Bette shook her head again. She shook so vigorously
that Tina groaned, waking slowly. “Earth…quake…?” She queried
sleepily.
”No honey, just me.” Bette cleared her throat and murmured soothingly.
”C’mere…” Tina opened one bleary eye and held out
her arms. Bette crawled into them and lay her head on Tina’s soft
shoulder.
”Ya know, I had the strangest dream…” Tina kissed
the top of Bette’s head and rubbed her back in slow comforting circles.
“I was back in my hometown. There’s a creek near our house. I used to
go there sometimes and watch the water. It was pretty… I used to
watch the ripples start from one bank then travel to the opposite one.
Anyway, in the dream, you and I were there. We were kids. You looked so
cute!” When Bette snorted, Tina jostled her in her arms. “And we stood
in the middle of it, up to our knees in the clear water. It was calm
that day. The strange thing is, we were trying to catch these little
turtles swimming in the water.”
”Turtles?”
”Yeah, small ones. Here, let me see.” Tina pulled
Bette’s hand up and held the palm up. “They were the size of your
palm.” Bette smiled at Tina and pulled Tina’s hand down to her cheek.
She closed her eyes and focused on the soft skin and comforting heat
against her face.
”Of course we couldn’t catch them coz they were so
fast in the water! They were incredible! Like they had tiny rockets
strapped to their shells or something! So anyway, then this one huge
one swims along. I mean, it’s huge! The size of a dinner plate or
bigger. And I jumped on it. I actually jumped on top of its back and
held on.”
”You rode it?”
”No, I was just kinda leaning on it. I was trying to lift it but it was damn heavy.”
”What was I doing while you were wrestling with the giant turtle?” Bette teased.
”Well you kinda stood there, just watching. And I
was asking for your help but I guess you were in shock. You just stood
there.”
”I did huh?”
”Yup. Then the earth started to shake and I woke up.”
Bette nestled into Tina’s arms, pondering the dream.
”Why did you want to catch the turtle?”
”I don’t know. In the dream, I just had to.”
”That’s a weird dream baby.”
”Yeah, I know! It’s funny though.”
”Hmm.” Bette put her arm around Tina’s waist and hugged her hard. “You know why that dream’s so strange?”
”Coz there are no turtles in that creek back home?”
”Nooo.”
”Coz we were kids?”
”Noo.”
”Coz I tried to ride on the back of a turtle?”
”Yes, but no.”
”Okay, I’ll bite. What makes it strange, baby?”
”I didn’t try to help you. That would never happen.”
”Are you a turtle-catching expert then?”
”No. But I do love you.”
Tina lay there, stunned and unsure if she’d heard correctly.
”And because I love you, I would never risk that giant turtle swimming and carrying you away.”
Tina tried to calm her thundering heart. “Uh?”
Bette rolled on top of Tina and grinned down at Tina’s pale face. “Now it’s your turn.”
”I… I love you too, Bette.”
”I knew it.” Bette’s smug smile was quickly smothered in one of Tina’s heart-stopping bone-melting kisses.
And the sun rose on the horizon, casting light on the two figures on the bed, loving.

So sweet. Bette finally said it. What’s with the turtles? Hmmmm… Please continue.
I don’t understand the turtles but happy that “our girls” admitted their love to each other, Bette most of all. Thanks for the post.

This is what I found at a website when I did a search on turtles in dreams: “Opportunity for advancement is available to you. You have secret enemies around.” Okay the first part may make sense but the second? Eh, I just woke up and am in no condition to try to analyze it. Can’t wait for the next chapter!
I get the turtle thing…I was the opening for Bette to say what she had been spending all this time building up to while Tina slept…All that she could think was I have no idea where you came from or how you got into my life, but i definately would not let some turtle steal you away
ok post soon
