Homecoming * A Tibette Beginning (Chapters 8 & 9)
"Goodnight, Tina." Bette desperately tried to think of something to say – to make up for the evening, to at least make Tina smile. She felt as though her heart were breaking and Tina had only been back in her life for a day, how was that even possible?
"You really are an amazing woman, Tina. I had a wonderful night. Have a safe flight home tomorrow." Bette moved in for a hug, but Tina was out of the car before she could make it halfway across the seat. "Fuck! " Bette yelled into the quiet of the cab as she watched Tina enter the hotel.
"Are you in or out, lady?" The cab driver jerked his steering wheel and tapped the meter.
"I’m out." Bette paid the cab and entered the cool night. She couldn’t bear to be in that car another minute. What an idiot she had been. How could she have possibly thought that Tina had any intentions other than re-connecting with an old friend? Bette attempted to cross the street but was jerked back to the curb with force. She turned to face the attack, her adrenaline pumping, but what she saw a bright red blonde with tears streaming down her face,
"I can’t do this. I can’t leave again, for another 12 years, without telling you how I feel," Tina let go of Bette’s arm and settled herself,
"At the restaurant, I told you I thought of you often, but the truth of the matter is that I thought of you nearly every day, without fail. I lived for the letters you sent when I was in college. This is going to sound completely crazy but I adored you in high-school – you were everything I wasn’t, intelligent, funny, beautiful, confident…"
"Tina…"
"No, you have to let me finish. By senior year I realized that what I felt was love. And I say love because it was so much more than a crush, Bette. I know this is ridiculous and must sound completely crazy but, I was engaged a year ago – to a wonderful man who treated me well and was good to me and would have been the perfect husband, but when I kissed him, it was you I thought of. I had to see you, and when Alice called I was over the moon excited. And when I saw you there…in that auditorium… I couldn’t breathe, because you were – are – even sweeter and sexier than I remembered. I’m saying this, because I need to, not because I expect any response from you. I’m telling you this because I have to, because it will hurt too much if I don’t say anything and I fly out tomorrow like none of this ever happened. I’m attracted to you, Bette. So much so I feel it like an ache in my chest. I planned to tell you all of this in a more sane manner over dinner but I panicked – I wasn’t sure if you would, could ever feel the same, or be interested in me in that way. But in that short ride back to this hotel, back to my lonely life, I realized that I would regret it forever if I didn’t say something and if I didn’t do this…"
Tina stepped forward, gently held Bette’s face with her hands, and kissed her with all of the emotion and passion she could muster.
