“That hurt?” Bette asked with alarm.
Tina raised a finger to touch her own lips.
“They’re a little sensitive I guess…I didn’t mean to jump…”
Bette laughed ashamedly.
“Oh, my God, T. What have I done to you? I’ve broken your lips…”
The blonde grinned, her hair tousled, cheeks flushed, eyes betraying a mischievous twinkle, and gave Bette an intentionally firm kiss.
“I’m tougher than I look,” she whispered.
“Don’t I know it,” Bette said into her mouth, finding her tongue with her own.
“What do you need to help you sleep?” Tina asked honestly when their kiss ended, without a real trace of suggestiveness. She seemed prepared to help.
Bette thought of all the obvious answers but Tina was worn out, and so was she really.
“I don’t mind, baby. Whatever you’re thinking, I’ll do for you.” She blinked slowly, nodding and Bette knew she was the luckiest woman alive. She pulled her close in a tight hug, feeling her breath catch in her throat with the deep love she felt for the woman in her arms.
“I don’t deserve you.”
“Don’t be silly.” She felt Tina’s hand flat on her lower stomach, below her navel. Her pinky grazed the soft curls there, making the brunette flinch.
“What do you need?”
Tina’s straightforwardness aroused her, there was no question about it. Maybe her lover was getting a second wind, she thought, feeling a twinge in her groin.
“A swim?” She posed out of nowhere. She hadn’t even been thinking about a swim until then, but suddenly it sounded like just the thing she needed to calm her enough to sleep.
“Are you serious?” Tina looked up, her striking hazel eyes fixed on her face, attempting to discern her intentions.
Bette nodded, an expression of insouciance on her face.
Tina chuckled.
“After all my trying to convince you to take a swim last night, now you want to, in the middle of the night?” The blonde shook her head with an inverted grin.
“I didn’t not want to then, baby. I just wanted to fuck you more,” her beautiful wife replied straight faced.
Tina’s eyes widened. “Bette!” She poked her in the ribs teasingly.
“It’s true.”
“You and your impish grin. Well, I’m awake now,” Tina stated with a sigh, her drawl suddenly emerging in full with that statement. Bette pulled her close again and squeezed, smiling. She just couldn’t seem to get her fill of touching Tina. Ever.

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.

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!
