Tina: I do love you. (With that, Tina kissed Bette softly on the lips and Bette responded positively to the kiss, opening the blanket and wrapping it around Tina and pulling Tina close to her body. After the kiss, Tina rested her forehead on Bette’s and was quiet for a bit.)

Bette (in a meek voice): I worship the ground you walk on and grateful that I have my life back.

Tina: So do I, sweetie and our lives will continue with baby girl and the gang. That is enough for me.

Bette (kissing Tina’s neck, then resting her face in Tina’s neck): That is enough for me as well, baby. (A few minutes later, Bette fell asleep and her face was still buried in Tina’s neck and Tina was also sound asleep as well.

(A few days later after the storm finally died away from the Bahamas, Bette made a few calls to get the next flight out to LA which was the next day and it was all arranged. Then she called Kit and let her know what time she and Tina were going to be in. The plans were set and both packed up their belongings. Not too long after that, as Bette was taking a shower, Tina got into her bikini and robe and strolled out to the beach and laid a towel on the sand. She sat there and just looked at the waves overlapping one another and had a sad look etched across her face. She sat there for what seemed like an eternity when Bette came up behind Tina in her terry cloth robe and with a grin on her face.)

Bette: Can I join you?

Tina (looking up at Bette and smiling at her): Of course!

(Bette sat behind Tina, her legs wrapped around Tina and her arms wrapped around Tina’s shoulders. Tina fell into Bette’s arms and could feel Bette nuzzling on her shoulder.)

Bette: You feel and smell so good, baby.

Tina (sighing): You next to me feel so good.  (Bette stroked Tina’s locks away from her neck and she kissed Tina’s neck with great tenderness and enthusiasm making Tina groan. Bette slipped Tina’s robe down to her waist and gently kissed Tina’s shoulders, back and lower back, her breathing becoming much labored. Bette scooted herself against Tina and her grip on Tina tightened. Tina felt something poking her in her lower back area and she gasped out loud.)
