I remember the way you laughed knowing you had tricked me and I felt such love and desire for you I thought I might just keel over, overwhelmed, but I rallied and carried you into our bedroom. Remember sweetheart? We were so happy. You laughed at me all the way down the hall and I tickled you relentlessly for torturing me so after I threw you on the bed. We made love all in a rush at first, so eager to touch each other, to give each other pleasure.
“Bette?”
“Yes, baby?”
“Why are we hurrying like our parents are gonna catch us? We’ve got all night.”
“I know T, but I can’t wait all night.”
Tina giggled at that.
“I want you.”
“I want you too, B. I’ve wanted you all evening.”
“Then why did you tease me so?”
“Because you like it,” she smiled slyly.
On the night of the private anniversary party by the pool – after moving the celebration inside to the bedroom, and after the hours of passion that seemed to be the result of wanting to climb inside one another’s body to inhabit the other’s soul – when they had recovered a bit, Bette found herself oddly bright-eyed and unable to sleep.
“T…?”
Had she nodded off? Bette wondered, her arms enveloping the body she had so recently craved and worshipped with her own.
“Hmmm?” Tina answered dreamily, running a finger lightly down Bette’s lower arm to the tips of her fingers.
“You’re awake?”
“Mmmm…hmmm,” she murmured, unconvincingly.
“But unable to speak…” Bette observed, amusement in her voice.
Tina just nodded her head.
“I thought I would drift right off, I was so exhausted, but I can’t. I’m wide awake.”
“Endorphins,” Tina muttered into her pillow.
“What?” Bette couldn’t make out what she said.
“Sex high.”
“Well, you don’t seem to be experiencing it,” she observed, confounded.
Tina turned over slowly and saw a glimmer of worry in Bette’s eyes. She smiled reassuringly, touching her lover’s lips.
“I have been baby, all night. I was just feeling a little reflective…”
“And sleepy…” Bette added with an understanding smile. “It’s okay, T. I know you’re tired. I should be too.” She leaned closer and touched her lips to Tina’s causing her to wince ever so slightly and Bette pulled away quickly with a questioning look. Tina’s eyes popped open suddenly.

You know what makes me happy, Nell? Reading your posts, this lovely story over and over again. =) Thank you for breaking your silence. And thank you for breathing new life into this fictional couple that I’m still so fond of. You have no idea how many people wish on shooting stars to stumble upon or be blessed with the deep, abiding and lava-hot love that your version of TiBette share. *Sigh* I’m looking forward to more trips down memory lane and how Bette will use the items on The List to help bring Tina out of her stupor. Brava, Nell! Cheers! =)
I have been checking frequently for a new post to this touching story. You write this couple and their journey so beautifully. I look forward to more memories of the past and memories yet to be created. Thank you.
More people should be so lucky to have a love like theirs.
Thanks to you and this wonderful story, I’ve learned a new word today. “Insouciance” PPVS
Wonderful as always. Love the way you are writing this story. It is a testament to the love they share. We should all be so blessed. Thanks for posting.
Really lovely, as usual. Surely this will generate a few lively spikes in Tina’s EKG, won’t it?
I just love this amazing story. Thank you for posting.
wonderful writing that conjures up beautiful images of my favourite couple
What they all said. Thank you.
Perfection. The dialogue is amazing and the scenes you paint just come to life in my mind. Thank you, I love this Better and Tina and although my poor little Tina is hurt I love the pillar of strength Bette is trying to be for her.
loved it… and i know tina can hear every word… wonderful… pps
Excellent and just so briliantly beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts on the chapter. I decided I’m not waiting until the next post to speak to you when I can do it right here! Curiosity, I’m laughing at your insouciance! Dainty,mm and TK, your words are always thoughtful, insightful, and so encouraging to me. TK, I’m thinking about you. Gumby, I’m so pleased that you like my version of our favorite couple(You know how I feel about your work). M, you’re just not that silent anymore and I for one am happy about that (LOL). Keep poking me, please.didi,az,fav,Amanda,nue,Quer,JDM: Y’all have been with me from the start of this story I think, and always take time to speak up, which is so, SO nice.Ballent and rd, you two are newer but appreciated just as much as the rest of my readers and I hope you will continue to comment! You are all keeping this story going, because without your support and encouragement I’d probably be too lazy to post. Hugs,~Nell
Don’t know how I’ve missed this incredible story, but have just savored all 10 chapters. Love the way you’ve written their relationship and the dialogue is just delicious. As a side note from a southerner, “ya’ll” is frequently used for one person and “all ya’ll” for a group. Thanks for sharing your talent, Nell.
Thank you for update.Wonderful story.
Amazing as usual!
Thank you, Nell! As mightymouse said, finding a post from you is a gift that makes me happy! The love and connection between your Tina and Bette is just beautiful. You always write with such depth and truth. I was especially moved by the way Bette was comforted by her friends whilst feeling separated from them and her determination to be strong when talking to Tina, and by Tina’s meditations on all the ways she was ‘more’ because of her love. Thanks again.
That was awesome!
