Promises
Instead came the familiar yet rather out of context declaration. ‘I love you.’
“Mmm…love you too babe.” Tina responded in kind. Arguably, by habit though there was no doubt regarding deeper feeling behind the quick rejoinder.
Bette reflected aloud, “One day it will come true.” A rather vague reference to something she clearly felt the blonde would grasp.
“I’m going to make you really happy you’re with me.” She repeated for good measure, “Really.”
Glancing up from the paper that occupied her, head tilted in question she answered with a smile.
“I already am.”
Ending playfully with a happy grin, “Really, really.”
Tina winked at her girlfriend.
They laughed.
“I was being serious you know.” Bette widened her eyes dramatically.
Tina looked on affectionately. “I know you were.”
The brunette relaxed. Arm bent, her right elbow rested lightly on the chair. Leaning her chin on the fingers that folded inward, her soft gaze never left Tina’s. Straightening her torso, the arm leading to the hand that supported her head crossed her chest to clasp the flesh surrounding the opposite upper arm.
Breathing quietly, she stated pointedly, “I’ll take care of you.”
The paper crumpled somewhat as Tina moved it aside. Effectively clearing her view. Tilting her head to the left, she regarded Bette curiously.
She’d noticed her girlfriend was behaving differently all morning. Tina beamed in response each time she caught the longer haired woman staring in her direction. Her lover didn’t elaborate yet kept looking on with earnest warmth.
‘I love this woman’ the blonde answered in her head.
Aloud, “I know you will,” she answered with a smile. “And I’ll do the same.”
Amused at the serious turn of conversation she asked gently, “What’s this all about Bette?”
“Your dream,” was the sober reply.
“Our dream.”

The night before, they talked quietly letting the easy mood envelop them as they embraced. Bette’s head lay partially on the pillow, her cheek resting on Tina’s bare shoulder while her forehead pressed just below the blonde’s ear.
Kissing the skin at her disposal Bette asked, “So she’s planning to be out for how long?”
“You know that tickles right?” Tina felt her lover’s lips turn upward though the action continued without pause.

If only…..
i’ve said before, and will say yet again: i wish i wrote prose as well as you do. i hope you continue this soon.
Just thrilled to bits to see an update to The Settlement as it’s one of my all-time favourites. My memory is definately not legendary, but your writing certainly is…really hope to see you continue. Thanks!
Wow…Please reconsider and finish this story. It is so exquisitely well written. Your take on Bette and Tina’s relationship is the best I’ve seen…such maturity…I hope that at the end of the road they can find it in their heart to reconcile…Thank-you for such a heart rendering, thought provoking story…Please return and finish this story…
I remember the stories, so it was easy to remembe that it had to do with settlement of the properity of their time together. Hope you will finish this. It is a beautiful story. Full of what if and the hope and love of two beautiful women.. If only. thanks
Unlike bvhall, I’m not familiar with the stories, but I’ll have to rectify that based on this post. Very good, and thanks for the update.
This was beautifully written. So sorry but I don’t remember reading any of this in the past but I will go back and find it. If you will, please continue this story. It is heartwrenching to read but it seems that a reconnectin is imminent or have I misread the story. At any rate I want to read more of them and their love and life together. Must go back and read for clarity now because I’m not sure if they are reminiscing or if in a current relationship. Missed reading your stories. Thanks for posting.
Damn you Ilene, just for giving them all that hell when clearly it was pointless because Tibette always comes out on top through it all…promises of forever I like that ideal for them
