The Trouble With Love Chapter Thirteen
There was a stunned silence coming from Tina’s end of the phone. She was truly shocked at Bette’s articulation of her feelings. It was something that they had both become so poor at that to hear that kind of emotion displayed so candidly almost took Tina’s breath away. Then she said the only thing that she could think of.
“I love you too baby. “
“I know, but you also need to know if it’s enough?” replied Bette.
“How did you know that I was going to ask that?”
“Because as well as you know me I know you just the same. Nothing will ever change that. But to answer your question. I don’t know if it will be enough. As you know sometimes I have gotten the things that I wanted just by sheer force of will and anything that got in my way was pushed to the side as a matter of inconvenience and right now there nothing I want more than to have you back in my life. Give me a chance Tina and I’ll show you how love could be enough.”
“Do you want us to get back together, for good?” asked Tina, knowing that she was barely giving Bette time to think before having to formulate her next answer.
“For good? ‘Till death do us part and all of that good stuff?”
“Yes, forever.” confirmed Tina.
“Today, in this moment, I want to tell you that I’ll never let you down again, that I’ll never hurt you or do something that causes us to be apart, but I know that’s an empty promise. There are too many unknowns in life to know what forever even means. Having said all of that, forever means nothing if you’re not with me. So, yes, I want us back, always.”
“So do you think that we can put everything that we have been through in the last few months behind us?”
“To be honest no. I think that it will always be there, but I don’t believe that to necessarily be a bad thing. I’ve spent a lot of time alone since you went to London and that’s given me plenty of time to think about anything good that could possibly come out of this mess that I created and really there was only one thing that I could come up with. I learnt so much from you when we were together, how to love and receive love, and yet my biggest lesson has come from the time that I have spent apart from you. It’s that you can’t have love if you don’t have acceptance, grace and forgiveness. With all of those things we can start again, but no I don’t want to forget because every time I remember how badly I treated you and our relationship it will point me in the direction of how to do things right.”
