Tina finally let out the breath that she had been holding in, after she kissed Bette.

“then what is it baby”

“T we could have lost Angie” Bette said as tears started forming in her eye’s again.

Tina hugged her close, Bette clung onto her for all she was worth

“baby, we didn’t , she is here with us it doesn’t do us any good with what if’s, we have to look to the future and make every day count not only for her but for ourselves as well, every day is a gift we have to remember that and value it not waste it anymore”

Bette lifted her head she looked at Tina the love she had for this woman knew no bounds, she knew that she was right and made a promise there and then to always remember those words and never take Angie or Tina for granted anymore, she smiled at Tina.  Tina smiled back their eye’s communicating with one another.

“what do you say we go back to bed” Tina said

“I think I’ll just sit here a little while longer I’m not tired”

Tina lent to Bette’s ear and whispered “who said anything about sleeping” as she kissed her neck.  Bette moaned in response. 

Tina got up from the chair holding her hand out for Bette, Bette couldn’t get up fast enough she slipped her hand into Tina’s and they made there way back to the bed room where they made love all night though to the early hours of the morning.

1 Year Later

Tina sat at her desk unable to concentrate, she kept looking at her phone willing it to ring.  Picking it up she checked it was still on, she even phoned her own number just to make sure that she was receiving calls.  Laughing at herself she put the phone back on the desk and walked over to the window.

She let her mind drift to her plans for tonight, she had the location sorted thanks to some helpful contacts all she needed was Alice to call letting her know that everything would be ready before they arrived tonight.  She hated deceiving Bette but there was no other way, all Bette knew was that they were going to go to dinner to celebrate their anniversary.
