Tina: I am so in love with you as well but I need you to prove it to me.

Bette: I’ll do more than prove it to you. (Bette led Tina to the bedroom and both stripped out of their clothes and Bette was getting ready to kiss Tina when Tina stopped her.)

Bette: Baby, what’s wrong?

Tina (with tears in her eyes): Could we please just snuggle in bed tonight, I’m just feeling so shitty.

Bette: Oh T, this isn’t about what had happened earlier, was it?

Tina (looking away from Bette sadly): No it isn’t, but I just need to be held if that is okay.

Bette (lifted Tina’s chin with her finger): It is more okay, I just hope you aren’t feeling depressed.

Tina: I’ll be fine, just as long as you can hold me.

Bette: Come on, it’s time for bed.  (Bette led Tina to the bed and both slipped underneath the sheets and Tina fell into Bette’s arms, her arms wrapped around Bette tightly as if Bette was going to disappear into thin air. Bette was concerned by how Tina was acting and wanted to know what was up.)

Bette (kissing and stroking Tina’s hair softly): What is wrong, T?

Tina (crying softly): All of this is too good to be true and I know it because I will fuck it up, I always do! Look what happened when I left you for that dickweed, Henry!

Bette: Tina, that was in the past and I’ve forgiven for it, plus we have Patricia as our therapist to help us with it. Also if you do fuck up again, I will be there to pick you up because I will not abandon you.

Tina (crying harder): Bette, I love you even more so then I did then.

Bette: Same here, my baby. (Bette started kissing the fat tears away from Tina’s face and looked at her with adoration. Tina sighed heavily as she felt Bette’s lips caressing her face, enjoying the gentle touch of her lover’s lips.)

Tina: You are what keeps me going, B.

Bette: Good to hear because I feel the same way about you. (Tina was starting to relax in Bette’s arms and Bette continued with planting soft kisses all over Tina’s face until Tina fell asleep.  Bette was still awake and remained awake for hour thinking about Tina until sleep took her and she fell asleep still holding the love of her life in her arms.)
