“ I love you.” Bette declared once more as she quickly put her necklace back on. She hoped she would look mildly presentable to their therapist, but after what had just occurred in this elevator, her heart beat with such force, she didn’t really care.
“I love you too.” Tina replied through her glowing smile. Of course she did. She always had. Love had never been the problem . . .
The ding of elevator announced their desired floor and pulled Tina from her revere. They composed themselves once more, and exited together.
“Hi, Dan”.
“You poor, poor things. There was nothing we could. Are you okay?
“Yeah, we’re fine”
“Is anyone traumatized?”
Tina ran her hand down Bette’s back and over her butt. Far from traumatized, she thought.
“I think we actually clarified some things for ourselves.” Bette offered. She looked to Tina who nodded in agreement.
“Glad to hear it. I’m still free if you’d like to have a session.” With a quick glance, they agreed and followed Dan the short distance to his office. Bette’s thoughts turned to the last time she had walked these halls with Tina. It felt like a lifetime ago that they were together working to get stronger and stay together. So much had happened between then and now she hoped Dan would be able to help them navigate all the destruction felt in their wake. Why hadn’t they worked harder? Why had they given up so easily? Easy? That, perhaps, was the wrong choice of words. It had been far from easy. It was. . . it is exhausting. They were too tired to fight.
Bette was pulled from her thoughts when Tina stroked her arm. She slightly asked if Bette was okay, and as Bette had always done when she didn’t understand herself, she nodded firmly with a crooked smile and reached over to squeeze Tina’s hand. A small intimate gesture she had repeated a thousand times with every one who had ever caught her in self-reflection. Perhaps that was one more protective attribute that needed some adjustment if she was to continue on this path of reconciliation with Tina.
Tina, for her part, was regaining some of her own perspective. The events of the elevator had left her in a fog. She was happy, but it was tainted. There was so much on the line for both of them that Tina’s fear of being crushed under it all was starting to take hold. Yes, the sex in the elevator had been fantastic. No one could get under her skin like Bette could. No one could have that effect on her. But it’s easy to fall into someone’s arms and think the sex equaled renewed love. She thought back to her actions while with Henry, and shuddered. She hoped that being here, with Bette, talking about their relationship, romantic or otherwise would help her understand herself more. She needed it to. She couldn’t go on watching Bette build a life with someone else; watch her go home, their former home, with someone else. It was torture that she needed to end. She looked over to Bette who followed Dan closely, but couldn’t have been farther away. Tina reached over and stroked Bette’s arm gently.

awe-fuckin-some!!! NEXT POST PLEASE!!!!
Great story, gayDoc. I love how you’re taking care to describe their feelings from both POV. PPS.
This was SO GOOD! Amazingly well done. Both points of view. The fear, the anguish, the love. You captured it all! Wow.
Very nice. I must say, you had me at “potentiated.”
wow, this is really good. I’m a newbie, and I don’t think i could top any of that. love your writing. please post more. i’m adding you to my list of favorite authors.
Nice. Haven’t seen you post here before..and its amazing so far. Really well done.
Welcome. haven’t seen your story before. Love how you brought all the hurt and love together. It not an option for Tina to be without Bette in her life. together or just friends thanks
Wow Doc! It’s nice to see some honest productive conversation between these two. Soooo where’s chapter 2? MD’s can’t be that busy, can they?
Great story :oD i always love to read this behind the scenes or in this case after the scenes, fics. So much of the processing for these two goes on off screen that it’s great to be granted a perspective of what they have been thinking. Besides it’s getting clearer and clearer we are not going to get much more of them discussing what has happened between them and although i did love the elevator talk and thought it went way deeper than the mere words they said i still wish we could see more of the process of them reclaiming each other back. Anyway, loved it :D and i’ll now head on to chapter 2 :D
I’m breathless – just like Bette. Wow! Fantastic session and processing of the emotions these two have been feeling for one another since the kiss at Shebar. I love how they both seem so lost in their fear and yet rebound with the strength of their love for one another. Please continue the story!
Love this and look forward to your next post. Great dialogue and emotion. Although we’ve seen glimpses, I’d love to see them opening up and discussing their relationship as you have done.
That was great!
Now that is what I call some good therapy. Time for our girls to be honest and go for what they want, no matter how much it may hurt someone else.
