What is love? – Chapter 22
At home, waking up in their new bed
They were tangled in each other’s arms and legs the next morning. They were so exhausted with love making that they hadn’t even pulled the sheet over themselves. Bette had slept in Tina’s arms with her head buried in Tina’s ***** and they both loved that. It made Bette feel an incredible comfort and it made Tina feel needed.
When Bette opened her eyes, she could see Tina’s body, back-lighted by the early sun coming in the window and the light was particularly lovely shining through her hair. The artist in Bette took over. Tina looked especially beautiful with the backlighting and Bette noticed that her own skin was front-lighted by the same sun. She thought that the front light on her body would look great because her skin was darker and wouldn’t glare. Bette wondered what a photograph of them like this would look like, and then shook her head at what might have been a pornographic thought. Tina noticed the shaking of the head.
“What is it, baby?” Tina asked sleepily.
“Ummm.”
“Talk to me.”
After Bette stalled and “humphed” for a while, she finally explained about her “pornographic” idea. Tina grinned as she thought about it.
“Baby, that’s just the artist in you,” she reassured Bette.
“Really?” said Bette hopefully.
“No, actually I think it is kind of pornographic, not that there’s anything wrong with that,” Tina laughed.
“Well,” said Bette donning her best art director persona. She then started her lecture on pornography versus art. “One must always understand the intent of the artist,” she finished smoothly.
“And what is your intent, baby?” Tina grinned sexily as she watched Bette begin to redden.
“Who would take the photograph?” Tina continued. “Because if you think a third person is going to be in this bedroom for any reason, you are so mistaken.”
Tina untangled herself and went into the bathroom to shower. Bette stayed in the bed and thought about the idea of a photograph. She thought it would be artistic–two beautiful bodies, the color contrast of their skin and hair, the composition of their bodies together. Perhaps they needed to get different colored sheets, sheets that could provide a better contrast to Tina’s skin color. She erased those thoughts from her mind and took a deep breath. Maybe she could coax Tina back into bed, she thought.

I definitely love this chapter, as usual.
Bette and Tina are in their run-in time. Each relationship has such a period. It’s quite understandable for two strangers to live together and need to share a lot of things with each other suddenly. But it’s relatively easy to overcome because in the early years of a relationship, their love is more passionate. They are more patient, more understanding, and easier to give in to the other’s requirement.
I hope Bette could be always patient and romantic, but I think it’s almost impossible in reality. Sometimes we need this fairy tale to balance the coldness we get from real life, rite? =)
commitment is a complicated thing, i hope that B&T will be able to work on their insecurities and little problems, so it won’t affect them in a long run…thank you
I love your (for lack of another word) tone. I love the way you state your case – so simply, almost matter-of-fact, yet…not. It’s clear, clean. It’s like a lesson sometimes.
And these are lessons in loving and living together. Thanks for giving us a window into their period of adjustment. Your fic brightens my day and I look forward to it.
Class is dismissed. Now what will they be learning tomorrow? But it is all becoming too much like a lesson in every chapter i’m starting to miss that loving feeling and I assume they still have that.
I still think this chapter is cute despite the little fits. I think Tina is cute with her mood swings and girly-girl-ness… and Bette is cute too for being so understanding and even wanting to over look Tina’s cute nonesense of an argument… how cute.
Great chapter. I love it. Please don’t stop.
Great chapter keep them coming!!!
“bette reflected that every daya she lengthened der defination of love. a few weeks ago she learned not to tease tina too hard. then there was the jealousy thing. then she learned to insist that tina share things with her. today it was being patient while the person you love has to work off sme anger from outside the household.” deep. you go girl. loved this chappy. thanks.
