“Hi boo. Are we celebrating”? Tina asked quietly, noticing the champagne at the table. “We are,” Bette replied, “we are. I did it, Tee. We did it.” She put her arm around the back of Tina’s chair, moving her hand under Tina’s hair to rub the back of Tina’s neck. Her hand was cool, her fingers strong. God, that feels good Tina thought. How did she know I needed that? Bette’s fingers moved strongly on her aching muscles, making small circles right where the muscles were tight. She leaned her head forward slightly to give her more room. Bette continued to massage her neck for a few minutes, surprised at the tension she found there. Tina swallowed a moan, her headache decreasing. She closed her eyes briefly.
“Babe, the gallery…the board voted unanimously for the change in leadership. The gallery…Tee…the gallery is ours,” Bette said softly. Tina looked up and wrapped her immediately in a hug.
“Baby”. Tears sprung to Tina’s eyes and she was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. “That is fantastic. I am so proud of you! So fucking proud.”
And she was.
This was a dream come true for Bette and something they had talked about late into the night when they were dating. Long evenings in bed side by side or relaxing by the pool they had shared their dreams and visions. Bette had always wanted her own art gallery, a place where she could show the newest work and champion unknown artists. She could do some real work, she would tell Tina, she could support charities and promote alternative art. When they had first met, Bette was the curator of an art gallery but having her own was a dream come true. Tina’s heart swelled. Her eyes misted over.
When they had shared their deepest desires for themselves, for each other and their life together, it had seemed so far away. An art studio…marriage…a family. Tina swallowed and reached over to pour them each a glass of champagne. She handed Bette a glass.
“There’s more Baby” Bette said shyly, putting the glass down to pull a sealed document out of her briefcase. She handed Tina a large manila envelope, grinning her trademark smile, radiant. Tina looked at her curiously. This was unexpected. Tina pulled out the paperwork while looking at Bette, who was as excited as a kid at Christmas. She turned the papers over and saw artist renditions for the redesigned outside of the gallery. This was new, they hadn’t talked about this. Tina was in awe; it was everything Bette was: sleek, modern, visually stunning, beautiful. She looked up at Bette, speechless, then glanced down again.

Hi BK,
Another fantastic chapter!!!
I am so proud that they are talking about their feelings and how Bette expressed her hurt to Tina. She was so right that they have to share and trust each other so that nobody can hurt them and try to come in between them.
I love your writing style!!!
Looking forward to the next chapter!!!

Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment. Glad you liked it. if only…if only they related a little more like this on the show. Oh well! So far this story has written itself, working on part five now…
Thanks
BK
Another great Chapter, like your style!
Thanks for posting, look forward to more, soon please:-)

Fantastic !!! and yeah that’s true, I found season 6 a little botched, with more questions than answers and that’s why I’m infuriated at the thought of the new show, we’ll never get the answers !
But … good job, please post soon.
SO botched, right? frustrating. thanks for your comment and for reading…
Coming back after some pretty painful but essential weeks – a personal journey with, as your Tina said here, some “good cries” – , finally I’m able to reward myself savouring this new wonderful chapter of yours, my dear talented author !
How I love your B&T !
All the talks we would have dream to hear at this so precious moment in their new connection, all the tender words that were missed here and there – especially from Tina, because for me Bette was always the one to express her love for her more often and, yes, in a much tender way in the show…
Yes, I truly love your B&T…
Taking the time.
Savouring,
And they did (as you wrote it !).
Savouring each other and sharing with each other.
Each moment, each word, each feeling, each emotion…
Tenderness and passion mixed in such a precious way – true love indeed !
I’m deeply touched by your story, BK (Beautiful and Kind !), really I am…
You’re acting like a painter here, with a wide and contrasted range of brushstrokes, here and there – and so you offer to us, true Tibette lovers, a vision of our beloved two to cherish…
Thank you, so much, for this gift !
… and now I cannot wait your next chapter, adding my very best pout and smile *wink*

Sorry to hear you have had a rough time of late, hopefully you are on the other side of what ever is going on! Thank you for your kind words (again) and for loving this story. I agree that Bette was always more tender, and open about her feelings and Tina was more reserved on the show. I am hoping to show that Tina still needs some work in this area, but that she is finally trying. I cherish their relationship too and hope we can all experience something close to this in our own lives…..
Look for the next chapter Friday, assuming I can get my work done this week. It is written but I proofread obsessively and often change the story on the final read through….
Have a good week –
BK
Thank you, dear BK, for your kind words – yes, I did the more difficult indeed.
And I’ll look for your new chapter Friday or later (take your time, I fully understand your writer’s search of perfection !) – it’s a date ;-)
Take great care of you !

Thank for reading and commenting! Next chapter Friday, being edited now….
