Random 24 – Just Because
While her temple pressed comfortably onto Bette’s right thigh and as she lay on her side, Tina told her. For herself and to Bette, Tina said how she’d found the perfect way to grow old that afternoon and her lover agreed wholeheartedly.
“You’re my first and only you know.”
Bette beamed, the obvious affection made her eyes appear to shimmer. “Last and always?”
“First and forever.” Tina whispered with emotion.
What a memory. It was almost impossible to imagine another time she was so happy. Except maybe now and possibly many tomorrows as their time together extended.
Just like that day, tonight Tina played with Bette’s left hand. Her bliss was unmatched. She was in awe of how much Bette loved her and how that made her feel so…so full.
“Baby?”
“Hmmm?” Tina was partially caught in the past as she reminisced.
“Do me a favor would you? There’s an envelope in the nightstand…”
Tina let go of Bette’s hand, stretched an arm to open a drawer and reached for the item. She settled back into Bette’s softness and tried to pass the mid-sized envelope to her.
Softly Bette instructed, “Open it T.”
“What is it?” Tina’s voice was like that of a child’s. Animated and curious.
Bette only said, “You’ll see.”
Tina saw the brochure and plane tickets and grinned from ear to ear. “Oh Bette this is perfect!”
“Are you sure?” Bette spoke through polished teeth and an enormous smile.
“It’s absolutely perfect!” she said again while leafing through the material.
Bette enjoyed this moment. Listening to Tina comment on what they should do and what they needed to prepare in advance. Her enthusiasm and glee while she pointed eagerly was all she hoped for. They’d have to finalize the dates Bette reminded but Tina was already there it seemed.
“What’s this for?”
“Just because…”
“Thank you Bette! You…this is so sweet.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
“Love it,” she corrected happily. “I love it.”
The sound of turning pages occupied the couple who happily perused the brochure together.
“Hey T, look at that suite. It’s pretty big with a nice view.” Bette joked, “Do you think that merits an exception or should we do it just before we leave so we can concentrate on more important things?”
Tina answered cheekily. “I could be convinced I suppose.”
“I’ll have to work on that over the next couple of weeks huh?”
“Mm hmm…in the meantime I’ll have you whenever I want.”
“Have me?” Bette laughed along with Tina. “Did you just say you’ll have me whenever you want?”
Tina giggled. “You know it’s true.”
Yes, the gallery owner knew it was true. She was Tina’s to have whenever and wherever.
Soon the thrill died down long enough for Bette to again join the couple’s hands. With hers on top of Tina’s, the golden rings on two fingers signifying eternity touched lightly. Objects of substance that spoke of who the other was in their hearts.
“Happy ‘just because’ T.” Bette’s voice was soft and warm.
After speaking about all the possibilities and although Bette’s choice was in fact perfect, it didn’t really matter where they were going as long as they were together. All Tina knew is that she was exactly where she was meant to be and knew Bette felt the same way.
The contented blonde turned so she could look at Bette fully. With a kiss, Tina told her everything she thought and felt.
In turn Bette let Tina have her. All of her.

Lovely.

I’m
I’m always delighted to see one of your ‘random posts’. Have a nice break.
Awww, that is so suh-weet! =) Isn’t it lovely that this excellently-written “Random” series is bookended by a happy and loved up TiBette sharing an intimate moment? In the first one, the couple was celebrating their reunion. In this second one, they’re basking in joy just because. Splendidly done, lwordid! Your happy scenes outnumber the sad but equally good ones and when I put them in a timeline, I felt good knowing that the last scene was full of hope. I’m so grateful to you, lwordid, for sharing these lovely Tibette snapshots. I’m so grateful that I stumbled upon your hihgly enjoyable, outstanding writing and I intend to read your earlier posts too. Please don’t stay away too long and write again for us. Enjoy your mini-break! Cheers! =)
One more thing, this series reminds me of tiff_duke’s great “Now and Then” series and it’s equally good! =)
Thank you for the Random snippets of Bette and Tina’s life. I have enjoyed reading these.
I’m sad that you’re going on a hiatus but I respect your creative rhythm and hope to see you again soon. It’s been great following these vignettes, and this last one ties up everything just beautifully. I remember the first random and I see how the circle is now complete. “And the end of all our exploring/ Will be to arrive where we started/ And know the place for the first time.” :)
Thanks. Will miss your stories while you are gone.
What I nice way to go out on hiatus! Thank you!
I don’t know if I am supposed to do this, nut I keep seeing each chapter of Random as being from different stages in B&T’s relationship. The juxtaposition of joyful and loving episodes with the painful ones is excruciating. I know that all love begins full of adoration, playfulness and expectations of forever and ever. Yet despite that beginning, it often turns out badly, full of hurt and bitter disappointment. I know all of this in my head. Nonetheless, your chapters kick me in the gut. I am full of “how could something so good become something so bad? Could something have been done to stop it?” Happy chapters are tinged with the bittersweet. Painful chapters are exceptionally sad because you have shown us what it once was. Dayum, you’re food. Thanks for posting your chapters. More, please.
this chapter once again showed my why tibette was always my favorite couple…and romantic in me see how true love should be…thank you

I’ve so enjoyed each and every one of your Random chapters and selfishly hope you don’t stay away too long. Enjoy your break and thanks as always for sharing your talent.
