Uncharted Territory
‘Tee?’
‘Hmm?’
‘Doesn’t this feel good?’
‘Mmm.’ I hum in consent as the plane disappears out of sight and roll onto my side. The occasional screams of seagulls is mixed with the sound of the waves hitting the shore. There is a soft land inward wind coming from the English Channel, and the white alabaster cliffs behind us that the sea has carved into sheer cliffs and rock arches, are creating a subtle whirlwind down at the beach. Bette told me a few Impressionist artists like Monet, Boudin and Pissaro captured the scenery on canvas, inspired by the region’s scenery and light.
I look sideways. She is even more breathtaking now, with the sea air and the summer breeze have colored her cheeks slightly and the light is doing extraordinary things with the reflection in her eyes. ‘Are you ok?’ Her usual soft voice seems like velvet.
I travelled, went to faraway places. Places filled with pain, guilt and regret. I really searched myself, went into the darkest corners of my mind that I didn’t even know existed. Discovered things about myself that I rather wouldn’t have. Tasted the bitterness of forbidden fruits, of disappointment and betrayal. Dreams turned into nightmares. But the meaning of home never changed and I’m about to be ok where I am. ‘Sometimes it feels like there’s a part of me that’s waking up but somehow it seems that I can’t catch a moment to let it out.’
‘Or maybe you were stuck too long. Bottling up emotions has always worked against you.’ Her hand searches for mine, the first contact of her fingertips against the back of my hand invites me to open it on the blanket and our fingers to intertwine. A soft squeeze. Simultaneously we both sigh at the contact. ‘I hope you will really see that you don’t have a reason to hold back with me.’
‘I’m not doing that intentionally.’
‘If you do something long enough it becomes a habit. I’m aware how much you sometimes had to swallow with me.’ Turning on her side, with her chin propped in the palm of her hand, she reaches out her other hand and follows the contours of my cheek.
‘That goes both ways.’
‘You don’t always have to turn it around and put things back on you. You don’t constantly have to weight things. I was hoping we passed that stage.’

Welcome back and congratulations with your upcoming wedding! Did you found the perfect rings?
What a way to come back with this story! They are on the right path and they need to keep talking to each other, about their fears, their feelings, about everything what is troubling them, makes them happy. Show each other by little things how much they love each other.
I am very happy Bette didn’t feel threatened anymore by the woman she got to know by searching Google and Tina cheated on Bette with. Still it will sting and hurt sometimes but their is provement.
Thank you for this chapter!
Bibi! Thank you for the wishes and your comments through out the story. The perfect rings are still waiting to be found but it’s just a matter of time ;).
Many CONGRATS on this fab news!! Thanks for sharing!!
Now leave me be to partake of this chapter
Thank you DumplinT. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. :)
Congratulations! There is nothing better that building a life with the one you love and who loves you in return. May you know a lifetime of happiness.
May Bette and Tina continue to find their way back. It’s still rough for Bette but will hopefully continue to get better. That woman needs to stay away from Tina. Yes, Tina has told her it was a mistake but she needs to continue to be as direct as possible. Oh, and Mrs. Porter was a very nice touch.
Dear Billy. Thank you for your lovely words. And your comment, it means a lot.
Congratulations on your engagement! It was as lovely to hear as seeing this new chapter.
This story is giving me all the feels. I love that Bette doesn’t make herself so sick anymore over that other woman because she is getting more and more confident in her relationship with Tina. She called her Mrs Porter and baby… so lovely <3
Hey Cam!
When are you going to post a new story, we’re eagerly waiting. Tick tack, tick, tack. No pressure. ;)
Thank you for your encouragement!
“Honey, I won’t make it home for dinner we’re about to set Manhattan on fire; I had such an amazing day at work today, we finally killed the mother, it was beautiful; Sorry babe, I gotta run, our monkey’s escaped.”
Bwhahaha – this made me laugh out loud. great chapter and congratulations on the home front!

We’re happy we succeeded to make at least someone laugh with this story haha. Loved your comment, thank you BK!
Ive read all 21 chapters in 2 days, I cried 5 times during it all. I am in awe of this story. It’s honestly so good. <3
Hello Dean,
We’re hoping it doesn’t sound too weird when we say we’re happy and sad at the same time that we made you sad. Not going to appologize though. ;)
Thank you for the uplifting comment!
Besides the rest I particularly loved how you wrote NC-17 scene! How you used jewelry to translate Bette’s layered feelings. This wasn’t sex just for purpose of putting sex in ff, but with a meaning to move story forward. Not to mention that it was hot, far from simplistic description, but truly well written. I don’t think I read similar NC-17 in any other ff.All the ‘ahhhs’, ‘ohhhhs’, ‘yesss’ etc. never bring much to the story for my feeling. Well done!
You are not thinking to finish this story soon, right?
Are you such a troublemaker as your nickname implies?
I’m happy someone noticed the jewelry part, but I don’t share your opinion on NC-17 scenes in other FF’s. There are many amazing writers around here!
Enjoy the next chapter Troublemaker!
