    Author Notes:

    The List and The voice in Bette’s head.

    Bette smiled broadly, enjoying the trip into the past.

    “You were responsible for that.  You made me weak in the knees.  I had never touched anyone I wanted as much as I wanted you.  I was so mesmerized by everything about you.  The way you walked in a dress and heels, with that loping swagger that didn’t seem to fit your femininity.  The way you filled out those low-slung jeans, lacey underwear peeking above the waistband like an invitation, and the sleeveless tops that didn’t quite cover everything anywhere.  Jesus, it stung my eyes to look at you.  And it still does, T.  It still does.”  She wrapped her arms tightly around Tina, cherishing her, wanting her to know it.

    “The first time I saw you when I knew you didn’t know I was watching, I fell in love with the way you stood with your arms akimbo, your hip thrown out to one side – so completely unselfconscious, like a little girl.  Oh my God, you broke me, right then and there.  You had me so fast I didn’t know which way was up.” 

    “Bette…”  Tina kissed her, stopping the words, not needing to hear them anymore.  She just needed to feel her lover, wanting to touch her, to thank her for her love, to show her what she meant to her.  “I love you, baby.  I love you too…thank you for telling me.  You’re so sweet to me.”

    They had danced for hours, remembering …

     

    Alice coughed, clearing her throat.  “Bette, I swear I don’t mean to rush you,” she began, but the brunette stopped her with a raised hand. 

    “I’m sorry Alice.  Sorry.  Just a couple more.”

    5.)On the windowsill in their bedroom she would find Tina’s favorite framed snapshot of the two of them on their 6 Month Anniversary trip to Spain. 

    They couldn’t wait a whole year to celebrate their anniversary, she remembered nostalgically. 

    The picture was taken by a passerby whom they had accosted (in a fit of laughter) to document the moment they left their room for the first time in three days.  She grinned wistfully at the memory, a lump rising in her throat.   Apart from looking weak and famished they both wore the most obvious “just fucked” expressions imaginable.  God, they had been so happy.

    1. Ahhh…Heartbreakingly beautiful, Nell. Tears welled in my eyes too as I read and re-read The List, the dialogue in Bette’s head and Neruda’s immortal words. Thank you, Nell, from the bottom of my heart. I can’t remember the last time I read a post as poignant, as romantic and as poetic as this. A thousand times thank you for sharing this beautiful love story, Nell. Hugs, mm =)

    2. That was so heartbreaking and beautiful, it made me cry. I left it for a while and just came back to read it again …. and it made me cry again! Thank you so much for this powerful and moving story.

    5. My Lord, I’ve read a lot of beautiful love stories on this site over the years, some made me cry buckets and made me hurt and sad all at the same time. But this chapter is the greatest example of complete love and adoration I have ever read anywhere at anytime in my life. It points out the complete connection they have with each other. At first I thought it was showing that connection they have with each other, and that may be your intention but, whatever your intent was this chapter has exceeded it. It is the most poignant thing I’ve ever read regarding the love between two poeple. Bette is famous for making lists but, this one is so very complete and beautiful showing just how much she loves Tina, the video that Bette mentioned at the end and the Neruda poem took my breath away and made me cry buckets all over again. Thanks for sharing this wonderful story. Hopefully Tina will wake up after listening to all the things that Bette wants to play for her and I think this will do the trick and, of course, Bette talking to her. Simply beautiful and amazing. Thanks again.

    6. I hope you come back very soon and continue this story. Yes it’s sad but very beautiful. I love the conversation in Bette’s head and her devotion to Tina, so very touching.

    7. I finally caught up with incredible story. I know that you started this story way before the AZ situation but it seems to fit what is happening in real life. I trust that you keep Bette from going crazy and making herself sick while Tina is fighting her own battle to live.

    10. Hi gr8d8, This is so touching and emotional. The real shame is that often in life it takes life-threating events to focus us on the important things. Bette and Tina have such a complete connection. This story encapsulates this perfectly. I just adore it. Many thanks for sharing it with me. A Fan.

    12. This is so beautifully written. You have expressed the love they have for each other incredibly well. Your characters really come to life the way you have written them. I’m really enjoying reading this story. Thanks so much for posting this.
