Bette… Tina started in a ragged breath as Bette worked her fingers over Tinas breast.

Mmm… Bette responded and Tina moaned.

Please Bette… Tina begged, sitting up. We cant do this.

Bette let out a frustrated huff and scowled, looking at the nipple poking through Tinas shirt. It was almost too much to bear.

Dont be mad. I really want you tonight. You have to know that, but we have two nights left before our wedding. We can do it. Just think of how much itll be worth it. Tina said, taking Bettes hands in her own. She pushed back the hair out of her face that was plastered to her sweaty forehead.

Ok, Im sorry I got carried away tonight. I just cant wait to show you physically how much I love you. Bette said, smiling. Tina looked away as a tear clouded her eye. She brushed it away, hoping Bette didnt see it.

T, whats wrong? Bette asked in a caring yet stern tone. Tina knew she needed to have a candid conversation with Bette.

I dont know.

Bette raised her eyebrows, encouraging her blonde lover to continue.

Arent you the least bit scared about all this? Tina looked up at Bette with wide and childlike eyes.

Is that what you think? That Im not afraid? Bette asked, moving closer to Tina on the couch. Im terrified, T.

You are? But you still want to go through with it?

Without a doubt. All that fear disappears when I look into your eyes. Its all I need to keep me going. You are all I need.

What if you dont like living with me? What if we fight all the time? Or what if you get tired of me? Tina asked nervously.

Bette laughed. I know Ill love living with you, especially if you cook for me. And we will fight sometimes but not all the time. Fighting is healthy only if its occasionally. We will get along fine. And how could I ever get tired of you? Tina, you are my future. Without you Im lost, not complete. The day I get tired of you is the day I die.

Bette looked at Tina with complete sincerity and Tina saw that nothing but honesty flowed from her mouth.

You wouldnt rather have someone else? Someone better?

I chose you, T. Only you. Above everyone else and I wouldnt change that decision in a hundred years. The moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you would be something special. Little did I know that you would make my life special. Thank god for that meeting. And dont ever forget that I choose you and nobody else.

Bette took Tina in her arms, holding onto her for a few minutes before looking up. Tina smiled, feeling a little more confident and reassured. Her heart felt as though it would burst from the amount of love it was attempting to contain for Bette.

Were ready for this, T.

Tina nodded and kissed Bette lightly on the lips. She whispered, Thank you.
