“Yes, but we also have a fairly large and heavy box. We had it set up so that it can be delivered to the gallery.”
“What is in the box?”
“I will let Ms. Kennard explain.”
“Ooook. “ Bette was amused by the secrecy.
Once Tina had joined them, they took the luggage to the curb side and Bette went to get her car thinking that it was a good idea that she had traded the convertible for an SUV.
They dropped Giselle off at Normond’s and made sure that she was settled comfortably in her room before heading to Bette’s house.
Bette glanced at Tina and smiled that wonderfully warm Bette Porter smile. “I am so glad you are back.” Behind her sun glasses her eyes were smiling too.
Tina reached for Bette’s hand and gently intertwining their fingers, looked at Bette and with great emotion spoke. “That was the longest few days I have had to endure. Bette, I am not sure that I can leave again.”
“Tina, lets not talk about this now. You’re tired and, well, we have plenty of time to talk about this. Giselle said that there was a large box being delivered to the gallery. Should I call James?”
“OH God, I almost forgot. Yes, Please call James. Please ask him to just have it sat somewhere out of the way.”
“May I ask what it is?”
“Oh, it’s just a few things that I needed so I could work here.”
“Work ….? You mean as in create or work as in running the business of your art?”
“Remember I told you that I had started a new piece.”
“Yeah.”
“Well, I packed it up and brought it with me. I thought that if you had the room I would set up and work at the gallery while you were there.”
“Tina, isn’t that a bit unusual?”
“I don’t know. We’ll see. I really like the space. It felt good there. I think it could be conducive visually for me.”
“oookkk!” Bette was happy if Tina was happy. She called James to let him know the box was coming and where to put it.
The drive was a short one from Normond’s to Bette’s and once they got everything in the house, Bette started to take all of the luggage to the guest room. The look on Tina’s face indicated that she was stunned by this turn of events. Bette caught the look and realized that she had not explained. “I thought this would give you a little more room for your clothes and things. The closet is virtually empty, I put in some extra hangers.” Tina’s expression didn’t change. “Tina, this room is for your clothes, not for you. It is just extra closet space for now.” Tina’s expression was now a smile and she closed the distance between the women and did what she had been wanting to do. She kissed the woman who had captured her heart. It wasn’t a passionately sexual, fall into bed kiss. It was a comfort kiss. It was a tender kiss. It was the kind of kiss that expressed the basic emotions of happiness, contentment, togetherness. All the things Tina was feeling. Gentle on Bette’s lips ….. Tender from Bette’s lips …….. Just the way it was supposed to be….. Gentle rhythmic heart beats.

Beautiful story
love this
I am in love with this story.. I was thinking the same thing Tina was..
What a perfect story and chapter for me to read before I head off to see the sandman…thank you! Have a wonderful weekend!
i know how Tina feels, I mean it was a long couple of days an I miss this story and it just 24 hours away. LOL PPS
Why was Bette busy Saturday evening? Was she with Leslie? Bette had better behaved herself! Surely Bette realizes what she has with Tina and isn’t dumb enough to screw it up. After all they agreed to be exclusive.
THUDDY THUD THUD! Seriously, I am a puddle on the chair. Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone…I’m a complete, hopeless romantic. Have I told you lately that I love this story?
I’m with BnTPorter, I too wonder what Bette did on Saturday….other than that, it looks like Tina is totally in love and Bette, is slowly getting there…can’t wait for Monday.
This is such a lovely story djrk. Eagerly awaiting the next chapter…..
Whats going on with Leslie???
definitely a sweet and loving story
Bette should open her heart more to Tina… Another amazing chapter… keep it coming!
I just melted when Bette was scanning the baggage area for Tina…when their eyes met…it was like I was there. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story!
Tina can’t seem to stay away from Bette. I guess that Bette is under her skin as well as in her heart. Is there a move in the future?
My God, I love this story and this could be a movie with our girls and what a movie it would be. Just think of the lovliness of Paris, the beautiful countryside, and the restaurant that overlooks the artist’s colony. You painted a very vivid picture of the restaurant and the artist’s colony with your words. In my mind’s eye, I could just see the houses or workshops of the artists, all painted different colors. I wish there was a visual painting of “Say Nothing,” for us to see. Have a wonderful weekend with your family. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Post when you can.
Forgot something. Who is Leslie, hope she is not an old girlfriend that is still interested. And why was Bette so busy on a Sat. night and with whom? Don’t let Bette pass us this chance for happiness with the greatest love she will ever have. Post when you can.
Love this story..but two’s company, three’s a crowd; let’s dump Leslie!
That was wonderful!
AAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, T’s not gonna be able to leave….so sad, love the story.
That Saturday night is going to worry me until my mind is (hopefully!) put at rest… Bette did something hopelessly romantic for Tina during that time, right? That she’s just been waiting for Tina’s return to reveal, right? Right?!? Aside from that, I’m so into this story… I look forward to every chapter. Enjoy the weekend, djrk, and thanks for posting. Cheers
awesome as always
just when i feel jaded, this story brings out the hopeless romantic in me. as always, i am eagerly anticipating the next chapter. enjoy your time with you family this weekend!
fab chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant wait till monday!! i wonder what tina’s piece is all about
Bravo.each new chapter is better than the one before. I’m in love with this story. thank you.
First (well, ok second because I already posted once) I just want to say that I love this story so very much. I am however wondering (and others please speak up with this question) if Tina is over stepping by not asking Bette if she can paint in her gallery – that may cause some problems if/when some of Bette’s “friends” visit – wouldn’t Tina be more comfortable painting at Bette’s house in her garden? Don’t know..but this I do know, I can’t wait to see how you have it play out.
Very touching story, thank you
Miss smarty pants reporting in…lol… i do hope you read the PM i sent you… anyway… you know i love this story… i had a few chapters to catch up on… and i loved that… now whats wrong with bette… she is also falling in love and to me it looks like she is fighting it… i hope not… and tina is willing to move to be with bette… hey she can paint any where… so bette wake up… so you want details… well i am writing as we speak… i’ll let you know when i post it… later…PPS
