When She Loved Me (11) – Final Chapter
"It still hurts when I think about what you had to go through," Tina whispered, shifting under Bette, "I still can’t believe you did all of that for me."
"I would do anything for you," Bette breathed without hesitation, kissing Tina’s cheek to comfort her.
Tina beamed, content with Bette’s lifted mood. "Anything, huh?"
"Yeah," Bette smiled, getting up from the bed and walking backward into the main area she often just referred to as ‘kitchen’. Her body language told Tina she should join her, and she chuckled as she stood on her feet. "Wanna dance?" She had often thought back to the day Tina asked her just that, and smiled at the memory.
Tina’s light laughter told Bette she remembered it too. She looked back up at her, touched by the sweet humour Bette could use with her and no one else. It was a beautiful thing. "Right here?"
The room was big. Almost too big for their combined weakness, but Tina stepped closer with no hesitance, which gave her answer no confusion. No matter how Bette would tease her, she still knew she would always be safest in her arms.
"Mmm!"
Bette had pulled her in, quieting the teases she was bound to receive otherwise with strong arms enveloping the blond. She had one hand on Tina’s lower back – Tina’s hand up behind her neck – and took Tina’s other hand in her own. With great care for a symbolic gesture, she placed Tina’s hand over her heart; placing her own hand over it.
"I love your heart," Tina smiled, referencing all of the days she had obsessed over Bette’s breasts and cheekily replied just that as an excuse – as if one were necessary.
Bette smiled back at the warmth of Tina’s hand under her own, both laid over the ache that had rested there for so long. "Just don’t break it."
The dance seemed to last into the night, and transformed somewhere along the way from an innocent meander across the floor to beautiful, timeless lovemaking in the comfort of those familiar sheets.
The bed warmed beneath them, comforting those tender bones and aching hearts while they moved against each other. Bette was careful not to hurt the still-fragile Tina beneath her while they moved in rhythm. She even kissed and gently smoothed her fingers over Tina’s little scar, easing any self conscious doubts. She would grow to love it and the symbolism of Tina’s strength to pull through. In return, Tina relaxed under her – brought to life by this beautifully injured woman who knew her body so well. They were so adept at helping each other through rough emotion.

A great emotional, beautiful story. You’re a wonderful writer. Thank you!
I really loved this story and the track you chose. To be honest, I’m never one to click on those the links to songs that some authors attach to their stories because somehow, I get distracted. But, your selections were so complementary to the story and I really enjoyed it -almost as much as your writing.
Thank you so much for this beautiful story.
Thanks so much for this story. I’m so glad they made the move to LA so that they can be together out in the open.

Lovely poingnant(I can’t spell) story, sorry to say goodbye to it. Thank you
Thank you very much for this beautiful story and your fantastic, amazing writing.. I’m so happy for their happy ending. Thank you ^^
Amazing, amazing writing. Loved that Bette was now seeing life in colour instead of shades of gray. Happy that the found their way back to each other. You are one talented writer. I hope maybe more tibette beginnings come up, need to get the thinking cap on. Thank you.
Thanks for the story.
Just caught up with all your updates. Wonderful story. Thank you.
The end of your story, can be described as Bette&Tina’s love-Simply the Best. I am so glad that they are together and left town, even though in some way I hoping that they would be brave enough to show those bigoted people what true love looks like. There seems that there could be more of this story to tell-Bette’s writing, Tina’s degree-job. Life in general-with the relationship and the friends. Thank you for the beautiful journey.
I really felt for this story. Sweet with a little bit pensive content. Maybe the best and touching twisted Tibette beginning I’ve ever read.
