I was needed, I had to leave.
I showered and got dressed, every mundane action reminded me that I was closer to leaving;
The clicking noise of the locks of my suitcase as I finally managed to close it.
Those words, "Have you got everything?"
Your front door shutting behind us as we prepared for our journey to the airport.
I tried to speak but my voice kept strangling in my throat. There was a knot in my stomach and a lump every time I tried to swallow. You held my hand as you were driving, not even letting go to change the gears.
We parked, I checked in and we got to the security gate and passport control.
That was it.
I threw myself into your arms and you gladly accepted me, tightening your grip firmly around me. You buried your head in my neck and I felt your breath on my skin. It sent shivers up and down my body. You let out a deep sigh and you moved your lips to my ear to whisper those secret loving words.
I immediately felt the sharp sting of mounting tears in my eyes. I did not want to cry. I did not want you to remember me that way.
I bit the inside of my cheeks to distract myself from the pain but it was to no avail.
They called my flight over the tannoy. If I did not go now, I would miss it.
The time had now come.
I tried not to blink in order to keep my tears at bay. I could not see you anymore. Everything around me was blurred, hidden behind a wall of unshed tears.
Your lips searched mine but you stopped a breath away, we had a pact, no kiss, not that I would not allow it but the softness of your lips will always be my undoing. You spoke again those secret words directly on my lips and I nodded before slowly retreating, walking backwards. The very second our bodies separated I started missing you. I heard as much as I felt the tearing in my heart. Like a light piece of fabric, my heart was steadily tearing with every step I was taking away from you.

Holding hands! The epitome of romantic love! And in Paris!
GAWWWWWWD, WOMAN!!!! That was…. f***ing unbelievable!!!!! I am speechless! Thanks for the shoutout, but if THAT is lack of inspiration, I wonder what it’s like when you ARE actually inspired!!!… The webcam introduction… The heartbreaking parting at the airport… The rain scene… The sudden kiss on the cheek… And THE kiss! All wonders my friends! I know we agree on the general thread, but the way you wrote that… Wow! You outdid yourself with this chapter, buddy! Big kuddos to you!And thanks to Donegal for the inspiring rain!!! Bette is going to die with this letter… Great job!!! Get some rest now my friend, tu le merites!!!
WOW!!! You guys can write a love scene… could picture it vividly. Awesome!!
Ok, I may have said this in previous comments on this story, but WOW !! This was abso-fracking-lutely wonderful ! Loved it so much. Loved the “rain scene” ( reminded me of Four Weddings and a Funeral ;) ) and reaaally loved all the slowburn. You and Kword are masters at that. But I hope you realize that now you have left Kword with the impossible task of writing as beautifully about their “other” first time. Et ça, c’est pas un cadeau ! Hahahaha !! Anyways, I’m truly loving this. Please, let this slowburn last !
Oh, and I forgot to say that when you lentioned Tina having to go back home so urgently, I got scared that something terrible had happened to one of her family members… I hope I’m wrong and they just needed her to organize a party or something lol !!
So elegant, so lovely – I too love the slow burn. You are amazing.
Awesome writing
Wow! Excellent update. Will we know how was the first time that Tina made love to a woman? It would be his first did, right? If not, more would be the first time with the great Bette Porter. lol
Kins40, I don’t think I have enough glorious words to tell you how beautiful that chapter was, it was awesome. So loving, so tender and so darned romantic that it takes my breath away and I shall read it again. I want to remember this chapter and probably the next one describing how they made love. If it will be anything like this one at all, I’m will have to sit in a tub of cold water just to read it without fainting. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story with us. Waiting for the next one. Thanks.
Wow that was truly very sexy. I have never been to Paris but I can easily envision what it looks like. You write so brilliantly. You and Kword are amazing! Can’t wait for the next letter!
So proud for you on being the wining bidder for Laurel’s painting. It’s a lovely painting that I’m sure will provide some inspiration at some point. Love this story. Thanks for sharing your unbelievable talent.
Wow… I’m speechless. :o
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Have been home 1 hour from hols and i would fly home again and again to read this. Ty so much. :)
You two are meant to be a co-writers.. You filled the gaps perfectly. BRAVO!!
WOW…. !! Just can’t find any proper words or even any right smiley to express what I’d like to let you know… What can I say… I will re read this chapter over and over again for sure… if all people is as loving and romantic as you two, I don’t think there will be war on earth! either too occupied in their loving or too busy daydreaming in the state you left me now… LOL btw Kins, congrats again for being the proud owner of Mukti LH mentioned that she’ll miss it on her Twitter.. Hmmm, maybe you can extend an invitation for her to see Mukti anytime so you got an excuse to see her actually he3 … Anyway, what is the urgent thing that made Tina left btw? Would it be something good in the end as in it will make Bette need to visit her??? I am so looking forward to what will Bette say after this… Right KW??
That was simply amazing. Fantastic, really. Congratulations on outbidding everyone for the Laurel Holloman painting!
I’m in awe and I’m sure your other readers are too. Every time I think this is the best letter you’ve written, you amaze me once again. The way you’ve portrayed Bette and Tina separated by geography, yet bound by a shared love that spills across these letters. Thud! Am I succeeding in melting your heart a little more? ;-)
Red velvet is my absolute favorite cake! This is a fabulous chapter. Thank you for sharing.
That was just absolutely so wonderful and beautiful. Thank you loved every word of it.
I think it’s all been said in previous comments but I had to chime in …. AMAZING!!!. This is by far the best collaboration of authors/storyline that I’ve read on this site. I love how you incorporated the webcam but still had Tina write a letter. It was perfection. Thank you both for giving us something so special to look forward to. Kins congrats on owning the new LH painting; she’s very talented and she supports great humanitarian causes with funds raised by the purchase of her work. Hope Tina rushing home isn’t bad news but I suppose whatever it is Bette will be there for her. PPS
Woderful.Thank you.
Hi Kins, That was absolutely gorgeous. Every word captured the romance and magic that this relationsip has. Bette and Tina are just adorable. The connection that they share is so beautifully drawn out in this chapter. I could feel the electricity surge between them during their first meeting and first physical contact. It really was fireworks. The sorrow of pairing so quickly resonated throughout this chapter. I love that Tina watched Bette fall asleep with all the miles between them technology has a real purpose. Just awesome. I can’t wait to read more. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
WOW AMAZING
