The conversation I had with Bette that first day was perhaps the most honest I had been with anyone about my husband ever since the abuse started. Somehow, I was able to speak with her about it once Angelica had gone to sleep and I had thanked Bette profusely for all of her kindness. She joked about having a whole house, and being happy to share it with others in need. I was too shocked all along to speak in such a friendly nature to this woman, but Angelica had taken to her immediately.
As the evening progressed, we shared in relative silence, aside from the television, and I relaxed so that speaking wasn’t as difficult. I could never thank her enough for all of her patience, but it was appreciated.
I could see she wanted to ask why I had never filed charges against him, but I think she had seen the answer in my eyes – I was too afraid. She never did ask it. Instead, her eyes just fell to my mid section, in response to my confession of pain. I had told her how he hit me so the bruises were mostly covered, and how he would kick me. I was thankful not to have been hospitalized this time, so I could finally escape. Then she asked me if I had been hospitalized before, and I answered with only a nod, and she changed the subject again. I could see the conversation was painful for her too.
"You’re welcome to stay if you want," she offered with all the kindness I can imagine anyone having in their heart.
I wanted so badly to throw my arms around her neck and to thank her relentlessly, but all that would come out was "Thank you so much." I also explained that I would leave as soon as I could find a job and get an advance for a place of my own, but she wouldn’t have any of that. She insisted I stay for a while to calm my nerves, and to rest. She also said that she wouldn’t feel right about me staying without knowing something about her. I was listening closely, assuming the worst.
"I’m a lesbian."
It was the biggest relief in the world, and I breathed deeply for a moment with a little smile. "I don’t have an issue with that, if that’s what you meant."

I can’t even…sigh. I love this, I really do – and the fact that I feel this tightness in my chest, an incredible sadness for Tina, yet hopefuless when I think of what she and Bette can and will share….it’s a credit to your amazing writing. This comment doesn’t make sense. I know that…but it’s beacause I am overwhelmed by your words. Looking forward to the next post!

I’ve just read both chapters and love this story. I read each page with bated breath. Your versatility to write about taboo topics whether it’s physical abuse to bondage and domination is just amazing. You develop each story with such attention to character detail that it always leaves me wanting more.
wow….just wowwwwwwwwwww
Wonderful!And very accurate.
So beautifully written, it really feels like we’re taking this journey with them. I’m not usually a fan of POVs but you write so perfectly that I can’t help but love your story

I love you GR!
What a wonderful story and an amazing chapter. Thank you.
This is beautiful and amazing, love this story and love the way Bette with Tina and Angie. Please post more, thanks!
I love this story. Even though you’re writing it from Tina’s POV you let us know what Bette is thinking and feeling too. It’s amazing how you do that.Tina couldn’t have found a better place to hide and yet I find myself worrying that he’s going to find her somehow. I think at some point when she’s strong enough she needs to confront him and put an end to her fear. I’m sure Bette would support her through that.
