Lifeline – Chapter 7
“That’s ridiculous. It could be a few days. It could even be longer. That is just not practical, baby sis. You’re gonna end up in this hospital yourself if you don’t get some rest.
“Kit. Please…don’t.”
Kit shrugged resignedly. “Fine. I’m gonna go splash my face with some water. Need anything?”
Bette shook her head, her eyes fixed in front of her, already returning in her thoughts to that night…
After she had carried Tina to the bedroom an evening of lovemaking ensued that started out wild and rowdy and eventually ended tenderly hours later. It had been a truly memorable night. Tina was never lovelier, she remembered fondly. Surrounded by candlelight, lying naked facing Bette, her cascade of golden blond hair fell on her bare shoulders, eyes glistening with mischief. Tina always seemed to be withholding something, a secret she would unveil in her own time, the brunette mused pensively. Bette would commit every detail of that night to memory.
“What are you thinking?” Tina asked, brushing the hair from Bette’s eyes.
She hesitated with a small smile. Her eyes rolled up in thought, her lips pursed. Tina grinned, touching a finger to Bette’s beautiful full lips, knowing the look.
“What?” Bette cocked an eyebrow.
“Nothing. I like your thinking expression. It’s very distinctive,” she chuckled running the back of her hand down the middle of Bette’s chest lightly.
“When did you first know you loved me?” Bette asked in a breathy voice, sucking in as Tina’s hand brushed over her belly button and stopped. Tina looked up, taken aback momentarily.
“It was on our third date…” she began slowly.
Bette’s eyebrows shot up.
“What?” Tina asked shyly.
“You knew on our third date?”
“Bette…the truth is, I probably loved you at first sight, I don’t know. Definitely something happened that changed everything in me. You know that.”
“You mean, you flipped…”
“Yeah, I flipped for you,” she laughed thinking of the connotations that word embodied. They all applied to her feelings for Bette.
“But why?”
“It was meant to be,” Tina answered matter-of-factly, shrugging.
“But how did you know?”
“I just had to trust my feelings,” she whispered.
“But you’d never been with a woman…”
Tina laughed. “That’s where the trust came in.”

For the sake of you readers, me especially, let Tina get better.
Well done, emotional, realistic….. I am hooked! I know, Maxine is coming soon. LOL.
The story´s just beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I agree with Jackiee1: let Tina get better! :)
Thank you for the new update. This story is so well done! I love the juxtaposition of Bette’s past and present and how you have them playing out. Please let Tina get better! PPS!
wow… i agree with the others… just keep tina safe and let her get better…. bit keep posting… love the flash backs… and love this story…pps
This is the most amazing story and you write it so beautifully. Please, you can’t take Tina away from Bette!
I really love these small visits into their past – but for Bettes sake and our sanity – keep Tina safe and let her wake up soon. Thanks for a great story.
WOW, I am glad Tina is Ok for now please let her wake up real soon. Amazing Story Thank you PPS
really enjoy reading the recollections by Bette. thanks.
Amazingly beautiful.
Amazing, amazing job! Really, that was just beautiful. Love the imagery of “For showing me the light.” :)
What an honest, romantic conversation between the couple. Simply beautiful. I see why Bette committed that anniversary celebration to her memory and how it’s somehow serving as her own lifeline as she keeps vigil at the hospital. Thank you for focusing this and the previous “NC17” chapters not on the sexual act itself but on the depth of the intimacy they share. No blow-by-blow account of their bedroom activities: what a relief! Tina’s medical condition is quite scary but I have an inkling she’ll make it. I trust you when you said in a previous author note that this is a love story more than anything else, not a tragedy. Thanks a lot for sharing this moving love story, Nell. Looking forward to more of your posts. =)
So beautiful and please let Tina get better. Thank you.
I`think,they suffered enough,let Tina get better.Love you story.Thank you.
This story has Bette and me at the end of our rope almost. Please let Tina get better real soon, Bette and I can’t take the strain. Bette is almost completely broken, one more setback and she too, will become a patient. Hopefully Bette will be up to speed with her reflections of their lives and love. AS Kit thought they will lose Bette too if Tina doesn’t get well. Thanks for sharing such a great story.
That was great and love it. Please let Tina be ok, sad for Bette. Please post more,thanks!
The love they have for each other is so profound. Please make Tina get better….
