“You are so beautiful.  Your eyes, I drown in them.  I could stare at them forever.”  Tina began to trace her finger down Bette’s cheek and then to her lips.  Bette could feel herself lose control not wanting to kiss Tina.  Tina leaned down and began to kiss Bette’s neck and lick her earlobe.  Bette let out a soft moan and pulled Tina into her and held her.

“Tina, lets go to bed, come on.”  Bette help her up and they walked to Tina’s room.

Tina had lit a candle.  Yes, a candle since Tina isn’t that much of one to organize a romantic mood.  Bette smiled at the gesture and pulled back the duvet and plopped into bed.  Tina was amazed at her ease with Bette, not nervous or concerned that she would be taken advantage of mistaken for any actions, except to sleep and talk.

“Bette, thank you for staying tonight, it means a lot and I didn’t want to be alone.”  Tina smiled as she took out her contacts and grabbed her glasses.  “I mean of all the things to happen tonight.  Shit, my family will freak when they find out.”  Bette stared at Tina, wondering if her family would freak from the break up or that Tina was interested in women?  “Bette, about me breaking up.  My family won’t care if I date women, they want what is best for me and what makes me happy.  I just, well they had hoped that I would settle down and have kids I guess and I had thought I wanted that too…it’s sad how things quickly change.”  Tina took Bette’s hand and led Bette to spoon Tina in bed.  “This is nice Bette, thank you again.”

Bette felt so much for Tina, she was battling with wanting to tell Tina her own demons as adopted by her parents and her need to be loved by someone.  Bette could feel an overwhelming amount of emotions going through her head.  She had never thought of being with someone for more than a few nights.  She loved women, loved their smell, their taste, their sex appeal, and more than that usually never progressed.  Bette could feel tears burning her eyes and the thoughts of her life with her family and the loss of the idea of her biological parents took over her emotions.

“Bette, are you ok?”  Tina turned around to see that Bette had tears streaming down her eyes.  Tina stroked a strain of Bette’s hairs and put her hand on her cheek.  Tina with passion and love in her eyes looked at Bette.

“You can talk to me, it’s ok.  What is it?”  Bette fell into Tina’s arms and was held by her tightly as Bette’s tears came to full strength.  Tina was a little shocked that this was happening and confused.  She took Bette’s face and looked at her and kissed her softly all over her face, with love and need that Bette needed. 

“Tina, what I want to tell you may freak you out..will you listen and hold me?”
