Bette entered the apartment with the obscenely large windows where a hazel-eyed blonde was leaning against the back of the couch. Waiting for her. Tina inhaled when Bette walked in wearing those jeans that drive her crazy. She wanted to touch her so badly. Her body ached for Bette.
Tina cleared her throat.
“Everything okay?” Tina asked.
“Yes, I was just talking to Kit.”
“How is she?” Tina wondered if Kit told Bette they talked last night.
“She’s good. She’s…good.”
Tina nodded. Bette looked at Tina curiously.
“I spoke with her last night.”
Bette raised her eyebrows.
“She mentioned it.”
“She did?”
Bette nodded.
“What did she say?
“She said what you spoke about was between you and her. So, basically it was none of my business.”
Bette sighed, slightly giggled and looked at Tina.
Tina smiled. She looked Bette in the eyes.
“I told her I didn’t know how to reach you and that I was afraid of losing you and I apologized to her for the way that I left. Because I not only left you…I left our family too.”
They stared at each other. So many emotions danced across Bette’s face. She didn’t even try to hide them. It would’ve been useless anyway.
Tina sighed. How did she let it get this bad and go this far? She wondered if Bette would ever let her in again.
“Would you like a…um…glass of wine,” Tina asked.
“No. Thank you. It’s getting late. Adam will be here to pick me up at 8:30. I have to make sure the artwork gets packed properly. I probably should just call it a night.”
Tina nodded. Bette took a step towards the extra room.
“Tina?” Bette said softly.
Tina cringed.
“Yeah?”
“Earlier, you said you were crying because you can be a self absorbed asshole. What did you mean by that?”
Tina exhaled. She pushed herself away from the couch, walked over to her backpack, pulled out the magazine and handed it to Bette. Bette’s eyes got big.
“Is that why you got in the pool with all of your clothes on?”
“Yes. I know I probably don’t have the right to be upset.”
Bette raised her eyebrows at the word probably.
“But I was…initially. And I did what I always do. I charged. That’s what Julia calls it. She says I charge instead of letting you come to me at your pace. In your time. When I realized what I was doing, I was already in the pool.”

A sweet chapter. The flashback memories are delightfully stirred into this marvelous stew! And Bette’s description for Kiki of “sunshine” = Tina was from the soul sure ‘nuff!! Re-read page 13 y’all
And page 25 is masterful.
“They BOTH KNEW making love to each other would never be the same. They had CLIMBED INSIDE of each other and MADE LOVE with their SOULS.
SOUL FUCKING each other from the DEEPEST parts of them”.
Be still my racing heart!!!
“Tina wiped Bette’s tears away. They walked to the bedroom hand in hand. And DID it ALL OVER AGAIN”.
This memory has got to be one that will eventually help Bette to choose love over hurt toward Tina.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the flashbacks. I think they are instrumental to the story. The flashbacks help move the story forward in a way that I’m really proud of and excited about. This was such a beautiful chapter to write. They are on the verge of something but we just don’t know what yet.
I hope that memory helps Bette choose love over hurt. We never know what is truly going on with her. Only Tina can touch that part of her and right now, Tina isn’t allowed in. Fingers crossed.
Very busy with preparing for my vacation but hope to read it soon.
Oooh! Wishing you much fun and joy on your vacation.
There is nothing I can add to DT’s perfect post. I love the mixture of flashback and the present. Certainly helps create a lot of hope. I’m glad Bette is allowing herself to experience all of it. I have two favorite passages. One present and one past. . Both equally beautiful:
“Tina tastes like warm sunshine,” Bette said plainly. “When I kiss her, it’s an amalgamation of sweet rain, warm sunshine and very ripe grapefruit…all exploding together and I can feel her in every cell in my body. It’s like…it’s like…a colliding of our souls. I am happiest…no, that’s not the right word. I am my truest, most self when I’m in her aura. I get this warm sensation when I’m near her. She is my air.”
And the other: “They both knew making love to each other would never be the same. They had climbed inside of each other and made love with their souls. Soul fucking each other from the deepest parts of them. Tina wiped Bette’s tears away. They walked to the bedroom hand in hand. And they did it all over again. This time with Bette taking the lead.”
Beautiful. You are a talented writer and I am loving your story.
Thanks!! Funny you picked out those 2 scenes, they were my favorites to write. I wasn’t going to put a sexy time scene in this chapter, but after editing and re-reading, I thought it needed it. I’m so glad I added it. It’s my best work yet.
A great chapter to read and i simply agree with what DumplinT said in her comment! I really hope Bette will choose love over the hurt, it will take time but there are everytime more little cracks in her wall.
Thank you!!! It is going to take time. And there will be a couple of hiccups but I hope they find their way back to each other. We are in for an emotional rollercoaster
