The torch she carried
Story written on August 29, 2012 by kins40.
Bette turned her head back towards the blonde, looking at her for a second before averting her eyes and saying quietly. "I was talking about a more personal challenge, Tina."
"Oh.." The physio replied, "I’m sorry .."
"No…don’t be!" Bette was quick to interject, "I feel silly really… reacting like that."
The triathlete seemed to be fascinated all of a sudden by the sight of her trainers. "It’s just that I don’t know how she feels… and this is where the challenge lies.."
At those words, Tina’s throat constricted and her heart felt like it had stopped beating. This was the last nail in the coffin that would finally bury her heart in the depth of despair.
Bette was in love with someone, someone other than her and the thought of it was pure agony.
Tina felt sick all of a sudden and moved to stand, eyeing with desperation the bathroom door at the back of the cabin. She tried to avoid Bette’s concerned gaze as she got up.
She stopped mid-stride though, turning slightly as she stood over the brunette.
"She would be silly to not see how great a woman you are." Tina forced herself to say, wanting above all to see the sadness disappear from the eyes of the woman she loved.
Bette gave a sad smile in return for the kind words.
"I’m too much of a coward to tell her." Bette blurted out as Tina motioned to move away.
"What…. why?" Tina asked retracing her steps. This discussion was tearing at her heart but she could not stop it.
"She is amazing and sweet and kind and…" Bette did not finish her sentence as the plane suddenly was rocked by turbulence.
It knocked Tina off balance and the blonde landed squarely in Bette’s lap.
"…beautiful." She heard the brunette finish her sentence.
Tina felt herself be encircled by two strong arms preventing her from a further fall but this time to the floor, and looked up to meet the triathlete soft brown eyes.
Their faces were inches apart.
Mortified by what had just happened and the impossible closeness of the athlete, the blonde mumbled an excuse and motioned to move off Bette’s lap but the very strong arms kept her in place.
Tina turned once more to look at the brunette with a questioning look on her face.
What she saw made her breath hitch. The look in her eyes was one of adoration mixed with the unmistakable presence of fear.
Tina swallowed, confused by what was going on. She did not move though entranced by the look in Bette’s eyes.
The brunette inched forward, redirecting her gaze briefly to Tina’s mouth before reconnecting with the querying hazel eyes.
She closed the small distance between them and pressed her lips to Tina’s and Tina’s world disappeared.
It caught both of them off guard at first, but they eventually let themselves close their eyes and give into it.
Tina felt the tips of their tongue touch, delicately. It was tender and loving, not quite anything she’s ever experienced before.
They lingered on each other’s lips for a while, devoting an assiduous amount of attention to detail to their kiss. The inside of Bette’s mouth was deliciously warm. It was kind of surreal actually how soft their lips felt against each other and how smoothly their tongues glided across the contours of their mouths, discovering, teasing, tasting.
It was never about a battle for dominance and it became instantly a sensual dance until their breaths became ragged and they were forced to part.
"Wow.." Tina spoke first panting slightly against the brunette’s lips she really did not want to leave, "She must be something else if it makes you kiss like that!"
"She is and you should know," Bette replied softly grinning into the next kiss she was going to place on Tina’s lips, "Because she’s you."

I’d say this deserves a gold medal, but then I would be acknowledging that you said it was a one-off. Let’s call this the prelim; after quarter-, semi- and final installments, I’ll hand out the medal. :-)

WOW! Now that was a gold medal winner! Too bad its only a one-off as it could be such a great story. But I will be respectful and not beg for more… maybe.
