Tina said,

You dont need to explain anything, B.

Bette took Tinas hands and said,

But I need to and please let me do that, baby.

Tina replied,

Ok, honey. Tell me whats going on.

Bette sighed,

I love you too fucking much, my baby. Ive lost you twice and got you back twice and I dont want to fuck it up, but at the same time I am because its something Im very good at.

Tina felt bad for Bette and she said,

As I recall, the second time I fucked it up because I was such a cunt to you.

Bette put her fingers on Tinas lips and said,

Shhhh, let me finish, please.

Tina said meekly,

Ok.

Bette continued,

We both fucked up, but I started it to begin with and I just dont ever want to let you go again.  You were the only woman that I truly loved and continue to love. Weve been together for fucking eight years and I want us to be together for another eight and so on, until we die. I love you, Christina Kennard-Porter.

Bette put her hand over her eyes and she started to cry.  Tina felt herself choked up with emotion and she took Bette in her arms and held her tightly. 

Tina cried softly,

I love you too, Elizabeth Porter-Kennard.

Bette held onto Tina and she sobbed,

I cant help if my feelings for you are stronger than you have for me, but I do and I wouldnt change that.

Tina started to sob with Bette when she heard Bette say that and she said while sobbing,

Dont fucking say that, my feelings for you are just as strong as you have for me and it will never change. I do show them differently, but theyre there.

Bette pulled away from Tina and gazed at her while still crying.  Her wife was radiating with beauty inside and out and it made Bette overwhelmed with love and passion.  Bette wiped the tears from her eyes and said,

I want to ask you a question and you can turn me down if you arent in the mood.

Tina cried,

Ask me anything, sweetie.

Bette said,

There is a difference between fucking and making love, and during the past two days all we have been doing is fucking and not making love in that sweet and gentle way.  And I love you and I want to show you my love and that is why Im asking that. T, can I please make love to you?
