Bette said just one sentence.
In just one sentence she had been finally able to admit her deep love to her.
«It doesn’t really compare.»

They sat there…
Looking into each other’s eyes.
For several seconds, they seemed to be an eternity.
Both of them left themselves go deep inside their glances.
And before they knew, they found their lips meet.
They didn’t even know how they arrived nearby the bed.
They sat down.
They didn’t undressed yet.
They just kept looking into one another’s eyes.
They came back to a place they always belonged, that they missed for so long.
They were contemplating their reunion.
Their come back.
They.
Both of them almost lost their hopes some time ago.
Never thinking about those little words: ‘us’ or ‘they’ or ‘we’ to ever come back, again.
Instead, there they were. They.
Then finally, a charge of passion ran over them. They kissed again. This time the kiss was more urgent, filled with hunger. But they kept go slowing. Enjoying the time together, knowing that neither of them would’ve gone anywhere. Their love was there. With them.
They removed their clothes slowly and even more slowly they layed down on the bed.
Between one kiss and another, they couldn’t help but smile.
Bette placed herself on top of her and left her tongue play with Tina’s.
Her hands roaming throught their hair.
She licked the blonde upper lip, looked into her eyes and smiled.
She smiled back. Warm and tender smiles.
They were making love. Not sex. Not meaningfull and pointless sex. Love.
And those smiles, those smiles was indicating they were finally back to their shared path. No words needed.
Bette slow went down, letting her mouth to roam around Tina’s chest and abdomen. With one hand she caressed her left brest. Then returned to face and kiss her. «I missed you»
They rolled over and Tina almost replicated Bette’s movement she did right before to her. She left a trail of kisses over her abdomen. Grabbed both her breasts making Bette moan lightly.
Then the two of them sat up. Sitting in front of one another. With Tina right on top of Bette’s lap.

Their legs crossed.
Their center pressing against each other’s.
In a short while both of them entered one another with two fingers.
They started to rock their bodies as they increased the thrust and the speed.
Tina left out a loud moan, leaning her head back.
Bette silently gasped and leaned her forehead in Tina’s shoulder blade.
They reached their climax together. Like they always had.
With their bodies still trembling they kissed one more time and left themselves fall back into the bed.
They fell asleep wrapped in each other’s arms.

It was 4.03 when Bette woke up.
She gently stirred, causing Tina to move her arm that was around the brunette’s waist. Bette grabbed it back. Not wanting to break the physical contact between them.
Tina kissed her shoulder, as Bette turned her head to whisper to her «I’m gonna go now» then Tina gave her a little peck on the cheek.
They both sat up. With Bette turning her back to Tina.
And as Bette silently, and without letting Tina to see her, mouthed ‘I love you’, Tina said something that brought her to the reality.
«Jodie will be so devastated.»
«She can’t find out.»
«Well, I’m certainly not gonna tell her.»
They started a conversation, meanwhile Bette was dressing up.
«I’m sorry, I just… I just need more time. That’s all.»
«I’m not pushing you. I don’t even know what I want.»
«I know. I just think… we both need to take the time to just figure out what we want. That’s all. You know, what’s right for us. How to do the right thing.»
«You need to take the time to figure out what’s right for you. And I need to take the time to figure out what’s right for me.»
Both smiled, «Right».
Actually, both of them already knew what was right.
Everything that just happened felt absolutely and in any kind of way, right.
Well, actually, as long as Jodie’s concerned it was not.
But for the two of them, it was.
Before she left, Bette leaned back and gave her another, slow, deep and lovely kiss.
It spoke for itself. It said: ‘This is right’.
