Fucking confusing, isn’t it? Imagine how I feel!
Anyway, I was asleep and I had this dream. I should probably just come right out and say it since I almost always tell you this sort of stuff, and God knows I stopped being embarrassed with you a long time ago.
It was a sex dream. Starring Us. And it was so real. More real than what’s going on with me right now, and I’ve hardly thought about anything else since; for one thing because I’m a little shocked that something like this came out of my own mind- I am apparently a complete pervert! Must be your influence. (Giggles) And for another, because I’ve only got so much material to amuse myself with without you here to distract me.
I wonder if I’ll remember it when I wake up. I really hope so because I want to tell it to you like one of our bedtime stories.
The Dream:
It was late at night and I arrived at home to find the house dark. Your car was not in the driveway, which was puzzling because I had called you just a little while before to say I was on my way from the studio. It was around three a.m., I think. I was alarmed because I knew you were there. I had woken you up with my call. My heart was racing as I fumbled through my purse for the house key and unlocked the door. I stepped inside the house holding my breath, listening, hearing the low hum of the fridge and the rhythmic ticking of the living room clock, but nothing else out of the ordinary. I let my laptop bag slip off my shoulder quietly, set my briefcase and purse down beside it, and took a step toward the open room when I felt rather than heard a presence behind me. Before I could react my arms jerked back and something obstructed my eyes. I felt a soft cloth binding my wrists and heard breathing near my ear. I struggled to get free but was overpowered by my attacker.
“Shhhh…don’t fight me,” the voice whispered in my ear. It was so soft I could barely understand.
“Let me go!” I screamed, terrified.

Soooo sad,but beautiful written.Thank you.
Excellent as always, Nell. Two thumbs up! =) They’re not there yet but at least they’ve both made some progress. Bette teased Tina and laughed again and Tina babbled on and on to amuse herself and is hell-bent on being with Bette again. I’ll be right here waiting for Tina’s awakening. I love this line, Nell. => “I love the small hollow at the base of your throat where I have left a thousand kisses like wishes in a well.” (As an aside, that hollow called the suprasternal notch was mentioned in “The English Patient”.) Anyway, this post cheered me up, Nell. Thanks a bunch! =)
Thanks for another beautiful chapter. I’m so glad Tina is aware of her surroundings. Hopefully when the sedatives get out of her system she’ll wake up…
This an incredible, beautiful story!
Wonderful update. It’s great that Tina is trying so hard to get back to Bette. And her thoughts are helping her out of the subconscious and since the doctor is cutting back on some of the medications, just maybe, she will start to awaken especially if Bette continues to read to her and talk to her. Hopefully she will watch for any signs of wakefulness like Tina moving her finger or big toe as Tina is trying to do. If she is covered Bette won’t see the toe but she can see the finger and, of course, she will see her tears if she cries as Tina is trying to do. Has Alice brought all the things on the list to the hospital yet? The music and other things that Bette wants for her to have in her room should help so much. Alice needs to hurry back with those items. Maybe she will come back in the next chapter. Fantastic chapter. Thanks for posting.
I’ve got to tell you, I am so loving this story. That’s an incredible idea, letting us in on Tina’s subconscious. If only they could communicate that way. Looking forward to your next post with great anticipation!
I really enjoy reading this story. It is one of my favorite Tibette stories! I know we need to be patient because everything will be fine, but reading it makes me wanna cry because it is beautifully written!
Hey, Nell. I just finished rereading this post. Tina’s reflections on love choked me up. Sorry if I sound too sappy but I can’t help it. I feel bad that Tina feels helpless and stuck in oblivion but I’m glad that their lava-hot love and their rich history and colorful memories are keeping her sane and hopeful. They are each other’s lifeline and I look forward to reading how they both inch closer to their reunion. Again, huge thanks for such an engaging and well-written story, Nell. Cheers! =)
Another beautiful chapter. I find myself rereading passages and just adore your writing style.
i’ll tell you, if anyone did that to me, when my hands were free, i would kill them… anyway… love this story… and i also know tina will work her way back to bette.. keep reading bette, tina is listening… pps
Thank you, Nell, for another wonderful chapter. You write so beautifully, taking us with such delicacy through Tina’s thoughts – her fear, her concern for Bette, her jokes and teasing, her love. And always phrases leap out – I agree with mightymouse’s choice, and also when Tina speaks of fighting for her life and says: “Presumably that’s what I’m doing, although it feels a lot more like loitering – or a very dull and solitary vacation on the shores of oblivion.” Have I said how much I’m LOVING your story?!! I want Tina to wake up, but don’t want your story to end, so I’m relying on you to accommodate that for me!
This story needs to bs continued. Soon, please. I can only reread this story incomplete so many times…
This is sad and hope Tina will wake up soon, can’t see them like this. Please post more, thanks!
So well written. SO heartbreaking. Please let her wake up soon. Thank you for this story.
Every day I check to see if there’s a new chapter…I hope you come back with a new chapter. This story is too good…PPS
