    N/A

     

    Six months later, for Christmas, Bette had surprised her yet again with the painting that was now sitting in her lap.  They had taken a picture of their view before they left, wanting to remember it always, and without Tina knowing, Bette had taken the developed picture to one of her most favorite artists to have it reproduced into the beautifully framed portrait in front of her.

     

    “Baby” she whispered as she felt the tears coursing down her face.

     

    Turning it over, she looked for what she knew was going to be there.  In Bette’s determined handwriting was-

     

    To Tina

     

    The only woman who will hold my heart

    The only woman who will hold my soul

    To you, both belong

     

    With all of my love and with everything I am

     

    Yours

     

    Bette

     

    Bringing her hand to her mouth, she tried to suppress the soft but pained moaning that was coming from her very soul.

     

    From eyes that were shimmering through flowing tears, she looked closer to see that Bette had added something new.

     

    I am returning what has always been yours.

    Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it for a short while.

    Bette

     

    “No” she wailed as she cried even harder at Bette’s words.  “It’s still yours baby, it always will be.”

     

    Rocking back and forth on the bed, she gripped the painting tightly and allowed her mind to travel back to that weekend.

     

     

     

    “Oh my God” she said to Bette.  “I can’t believe that you actually brought me here” she giggled in delight.

     

    “Surprise!” said Bette with a huge smile on her face, pleased that all of her efforts to surprise her wife were being received with such enthusiasm.

     

    Driving up the winding road of the hotel that Tina had been talking about for the last eight months, Bette could not believe that the time had actually arrived and that she had managed to pull this off.

     

    Tina had told Bette about a couple, who’s wife she worked with, who had come here for their anniversary and had been hounding Bette about it ever since.

     

    “Well?” smiled Bette as she took in the look of childlike wonderment that had landed on Tina’s face.  “Surprised?” she teased.

    6. i’m known at my work as a lunatic now, i laugh and cry if i have a minute to read stories, and today i cried with Tina, i hope their conversation will be good and bette will understand…i want them to be together so bad…love this story

    7. I agree with Missyang, I miss this story. I keep going back to your older stories when We dont hear from you for a while love you love you love you, you are the best

    8. Damn that was good. You have been tugging on all my heart strings with this story from the start. Today the tug was particularly stronger. Thanks for the story.

    10. im so glad you back,…that was beautiful..i cant wait for them to talk..they love each other very much i hope they can find their way together again…thanks Skip :o)

    13. SKIP… so glad your back… love this story… and i hope bette and tina can start talking again and get back together…please continue as soon as you can

    16. just read all ur other chapters a couple of weeks ago. like what u did with tiff’s story. this chapter was heart-wrenching. i hope bette can fulfill her promise. thx for the update.

    17. It’s kind of cute that you posted today. I have been re-reading your 6 months story, just to be reminded of how good you are. And its not like I don’t have anything else to do. Its a shame you don’t post as frequently as you used to but I understand fanfic does not an income make. This was gut wrenching, all that love and pain. This story is one of the unique ones that makes you stop just for a second and ponder life, love and all the other L Words.

    20. Once again you’ve managed to touch me with this heart wrenching tale. Something tells me that when they do finally talk it will not be easy for either one of them. Thanks for the flashback and glimmer of B&T during happier times.

    22. I’ve missed you skip, but no matter how long you are away you come back to us with a wonderful chapter and we love it. thanks for this story its wonderful as always. keep up the good work.

    23. thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to give us a little something. So sad and beautiful to read. Looking forward to you writing them talking, hopefully I won’t be teary eyed for long.

    27. Do you know how long I have been waiting to find out what was the gift Bette gave her? Your story is so addicting and I held my breath when I read of the unwrapping? You are a wonderful writer and I too have read your other stories while waiting for you to post again. You are an amazing writer! Thank You!

    31. Skip!! Did you post this per my earlier request today? Probably not but let me think it for a minute k? Alright, I’m back to reality now. (smile) The mere fact that Bette dropped by Tina’s housewarming/welcome back soiree says a lot. The fact that she dropped by with such a meaningful gift says even more. Makes you wonder what’s going on in that head of hers given the sentiment & history behind the wonderful painting. Doesn’t she know that returning it to Tina will drum up all sorts of emotions? Probably. Once again, you made me feel something for Tina. Okay, not just something but a great deal. Hmm, wonder if Tina will call & interrupt Bette & Lee’s dinner. Then Lee will jump on her bandwagon about their changing relationship. Maybe Tina will just call Alice instead. Or maybe Tina will just continue to dream a little dream about Bette. Dunno Skip. Feels like my heart is in a knot. Guess it rivals the lump in my throat. Damn, you’re good.

    33. I was just saying, I thought you brought the drama and I could just feel the lights going down on the scene of Tina, alone on the bed, holding the picture. The audience is stunned to silence. I don’t know how you would do the flashback onstage…maybe this would be better as a movie instead. I’m saying I really liked this very much. It was very visual. I’m ready for Act II. Thanks!

    36. So so sad…I was missing your story glad you found time to post us a great chapter…Can’t wait for their meeting on monday…cross my fingers and hope for the best.

    37. What a wonderfully sweet reminiscing of the past and what a heart-wrenching experience of the present! I want to know what Bette’s purpose of returning the painting to Tina. A very touching chapter, Skipton. Looking forward to the next. Thanks. Techgal, on one side of the stage, a lone spotlight shines on Tina sitting alone on the bed, holding the painting from Bette. As the spotlight dims, a breathtaking view outside a floor to ceiling window comes into view on the other side of the stage. Bette and Tina walks into this room with the view followed close behind by a bellman carrying their luggage in….how does that sound? I think it may work…

    38. “.how does that sound? I think it may work… ” Obzidian, as long as Tina could negotiate the cross-over in the dark and quickly. Perhaps we have some business of the bellman opening the door , taking in the bags. Of course, Bette would enter after the bellman with Tina last. I guess it could be fall and she could quickly don a coat to cover the costume she was wearing in the present scene. Or, how about a looooooooooonnnnngggggggg cross-fade on those lights???? Some interlude music? Scenario #2: Okay, they are already in the room. Bette is staring out at the ocean. She calls for Tina. There is a momentary delay. She calls for Tina again. Tina enters from the bath – in a towel (works for me – heh!)

    39. gosh, goddddd…sometimes it feels like you’re banging my head against a wall and then I remember it’s you, skipton…and with your stories, there is ALWAYS hope. Masterful, as always…

    40. ok..skippy you are making my heart hurt. please have T call her and post soon…real soon. albeez, I can’t find you anywhere..foofy girl. HI fishy!! and J…

    43. I don’t even care for Tina’s character in this story, but why do I get the feeling you are reeling us in? Resist her Bette, the jury is still out on heart breaking Tina.

    46. You are still the greatest writer,you can feel everything you are reading like your right there with Bette & Tina.I love reading your stories and they leave me looking forward to each chapter[like a quick fix] just seeing a new post form you.Was a way for awhile the first place I went was to your stories get cought up, (LINDA)
