Tina (wrapping her arms around Bette’s waist, feeling turned on by her sudden alpha ness): Ooooh baby, somebody is getting tough, I love it!

Bette (pulled away from Tina): I mean it, Tina! (Tina studied Bette’s face and there was a look of dead seriousness in Bette’s eyes. Bette was not bullshitting her or playing around with her, she meant every word she said.)

Tina: Okay Bette, I am yours and only yours.

Bette: And you are going to therapy and I will be with you all the way! I will not abandon you no matter what!

Tina: Even when I fuck up?

Bette (grabbing Tina’s hands and kissing them): Even if you slip up, I’ll be there for you, baby.

Tina (tears forming in her eyes): Oh honey! (Bette smiled at Tina and then she took Tina in her arms, holding her close to her heart tightly.)

Bette: I love you very much and I am going to see you through this.

        (The next morning, Tina woke up feeling excellent which she hasn’t felt in a long time.  The reason because she slept with the love of her life and the love of her life was wide awake, lying on her side facing Tina, stroking her hair and smiling at her lovingly.)

Bette: Good morning, angel.

Tina (getting closer to Bette and snuggling against her strong body):

Good morning, sweetheart.

Bette: How did you sleep?

Tina: Wonderful since you’ve slept next to me!

Bette (kissing Tina’s hair softly): You look like a beautiful angel when you sleep, it makes me cry.

Tina: Now don’t make me cry with your sweet words!

Bette: But it’s true, you look so fucking sweet when you are asleep!

(Tina gave Bette a tender kiss on the lips and then stroked Bette’s face with her hand and Bette kissed her hand softly.)

Tina: You are so sweet and sensitive and I am surprised that you came back to me.

Bette (sighed): You still don’t get it, do you?

Tina: What do you mean?

Bette (shaking her head in frustration): You don’t see how much I love you and that I’ve always loved you! You are the one that I am made to be with, through thick and thin! I am here to help you and to love you, Tina!
