The ***** rips thru her body. She is shaking. Tina comes to her and kisses her. She whispers in her ear. “Baby I love you.”
Just as Bette hears this in her mind, she hears the ringing of the telephone.
After a few more strokes Tina goes over the edge. Crying out as she let’s the waves hit her over and over.
Just as she is catching her breath she hears someone at the door knocking.waking her up from her wet dream.
To Live Again, To Love Again Chapter 7
Tina is flushed but the knocking at the door is persistent. She finally wraps a robe around herself and walks to the door. Expecting to see Sarah she was pleasantly surprised to see a young man holding a bouquet of flowers.
Young man: “Hi are you Tina?”
Tina: “Yes.”
Young Man: “These are for you.”
Tina: “Oh.Thank you, wait here.” Tina went to get him a tip.
Young Man: “No thank you, It was taken care of already.”
Tina: “Oh.ok. Well thank you.”
Tina took the flowers and set them in a vase. They were her favorite. Tulips. All colors. She found the card then as she was sitting them in the water.
Tina,
Thank you for giving me a chance. Thank you for having such an open heart and mind. Thank you for being you. And most of all thank you for letting me be me.
Always,
Bette
Tina felt such happiness she was near giddy. Her heart was overwhelmed at the gesture. Bette may have changed, but she still knew how to woo a woman. She knew Tina had a weakness for flowers. She knew so much about her it was if they thought things at the same time. It had always been that way. God she hoped she wasn’t sharing the dream she had during her nap with Bette. She couldn’t let Bette know she was feeling that way ..yet. But she could call and thank her that was common courtesy. She took the card and got Bette’s number out of her wallet. She took the phone with her and went to the other room to call Bette.

I am so excited..I was just ready to get off of here and there you were. I am going to go read it now.
What if Tina was just seeing things as she wanted them to be?
Good question…
But we know that Tina is not just seeing things as she wanted them to be… And we also know that Sarah never stood a chance against our Bette. I’m glad that Tina wants to be honest with Sarah about her feelings for Bette. Keep up the great writing, goldfish.
keep on writin and i’ll keep on readin’. well done and thanks!
OMG Gold…Bette is courting Tina “old style” LOL and Tina is letting Bette in…of course little by little. Tina just wants to make sure Bette really has changed…and she HAS. Glad Tina is going to be honest with Sarah…but Tina’s enjoying herself with both Sarah & Bette until then. Hmmmm…seems like Tina’s changed also. LOL. Please do continue…really do love this story.
great story post soon
Good chapter. This is gonna be fun and let see Bette and Tina get back together again and kick Sarah out of the way . Ok post soon please, thanks!
Tsk tsk to Tina for leading Sarah on. Poor Sarah’s being so understanding and wonderful. Bette better continuously prove that she’s changed. Thanks, goldie!
Just caught up. I so do love this story. Post soon.
Ah, that Goldfish’s touch…
You know, your last chapter was – for me – such a lovely way to link our dear two. That remembered me this so beautiful Peter Ibbetson’s theme : people who truly and deeply love each other can share a place in their minds and hearts, beyond the distances and time… And dreams’ sceneries are such an ideal place to share…
Here, in this new chapter, you brang the theme again and it melts me again :
“She knew so much about her it was if they thought things at the same time. It had always been that way. God she hoped she wasn’t sharing the dream she had during her nap with Bette. She couldn’t let Bette know she was feeling that way ………..yet.”
How lovely is this “… yet” !
Yes, that’s really the Goldfish’s touch indeed…
Bette’s card was so tenderly written… who could resist to such words ?
“Thank you for being you. And most of all thank you for letting me be me.” The so-called simple things are so often the most essential ones…
Well, Tina gives us a perfect example of how much we can lie to ourselves the same way we lie to others ! If this poor Sarah would have read this “Expecting to see Sarah she was pleasantly surprised to see a young man holding a bouquet of flowers”, she would have a serious reason to worry (“pleasantly surprised” ? My, my, how flattering…)… and I even don’t speak about the sooo good dream ! And the truth about the flowers, of course…
Sarah is understanding and sarcastic, but she has a lack of psychology here. She really don’t need to wonder if she’ll have to “compete” with Bette : it’s so obvious that she should have already prepare herself to fight, from the very moment she knew Tina’s so-called ex was coming back ! And she was so focused on Bette’s way to look at Tina that she forgot to see how Tina looked at Bette…
The way Tina uses Sarah here to “forget her dream earlier”, wanting “her mind to be occupied” (“occupied”… how romantic !), reminds me the way Tina tried to use Helena the same way, in the show, right after her brief encounter with Bette let her pretty confused… This naive attempt to regain a bit of control on a too strong emotional event is a so typical thing – I pretty think everybody can relate to that, at different rates…
By the way, it’s a fact this lovemaking was a pretty one-side one since Sarah was the only one to act when Tina only let things go – without any emotional word depicting it. Linking this chapter with your former one, it’s amazing to realize how a dreamed lovemaking with the person one truly loves can be so much more intense than the real thing with anybody else ! Just the huge difference between making love and having sex…
This parallel is a wonderful work, Goldfish, I love it.
As well as the parallel Tina establishes between what just happened with Sarah and the way it always happened with her Bette…
Something your own subtle choice of words emphasizes so well : the evening with Sarah was “pleasant”, making love becomes a “reward” (!), and finally “it was good”. How exciting !
And then “Tina let Bette slip into her mind” and depiction reaches such an other level : “How do you describe how good it feels?” Words suddenly become unable to depict feelings… God, what a difference ! Depiction becomes pure poetry and everything’s surrounded by true emotions and feelings, around the so beautiful theme of fusion and unity…
No, Sarah, you will not have to compete indeed : there will not even be a competition ! Only the new Bette has to compete with the old one.
Goldfish, you’re more than ever one of the very best authors in this brilliant site. I truly mean it. Thank you so much !!
Thank you for being so honest with the Tina/Sarah relationship. It would be a drag if she was just using Sarah. I’m glad they had something together, something nice, but something that Tina realizes does not compare to her feelings for Bette.
I think it’s realistic that she wants to go slow and be cautious. Thanks!
So charming my friend ….. You are capturing very poignant moments here, doing yourself a great justice, and the characters you wield.
Thank you …….. And the crowd called for more ………….. Encore ….
Wow,,,,,great chapter! Tina is right, she needs to see Bette a couple of more times to see if she has changed. Besides there are many unresolved issues they need to talk about. I think I am going to like when Bette is going to compete for Tina…. Let the games begin!
ya for tina she loves bette and knows she dont want sara!! lol ok well amazing post betts does a happt dance lol awww so cute ok well please post soon and amazing chapter thanx byeness<33902378502389758901
Nice…Will tina be screaming Bette’s name while making love to sarah? Will sarah catch Bette and Tina in Bed? hmmm
love where you are going with this goldie… i knew my tibette heart was safe with you
Wow, I’m impressed that Tina was able to keep Bette out of her mind during sex. However, if she had to keep reminding herself to keep her out she was never really gone was she?
im glad Tina have sure about that ..Bette still the one and sarah never was..and never will..Bette need to show more to tIna and the flowers was a good thing..that BBQ will be interesting 2 in a duel for the lady..lol..another amazing chapter post soon
Finally they slow to a normal rhythm and together they beat…..you know that if one were to stop they both would, you are so in tune to one another.
Damn…thats breathtaking!
yikes. knowing you love someone else and then sleeping with someone else. say it aint so. does that really happen. lol. lets see if bette has changed. my guess, she really has.
bette’s happy dance? LOL..would like to see it in the show definitely.
Sad that Tina had to lie about the flower.but she did’t want to hurt Sarah. Sarah will have a hard time at Bettes she will feel like the outsider. Thanks so much for this post.
Tina doesn’t need to tell Sarah anything…she already knows. She has known all along that Tina’s heart will always be with Bette. Sarah is just “milking” Tina for whatever she can get.
Hi goldfish, I just got caught up with this story and love it. I am glad that Tina can first admit to herself that she still loves Bette and secondly realize that there a difference how she feels about Sarah and Bette. I hope that B&T continue to work to restore thier friendship and love for each other. Sarah is really fighting a losing cause and is only going to hurt herself and maybe even Tina. I am looking foward to your next post.
Thank goodness! Tina’s still in love with Bette! I’m looking forward to the BBQ–should be interesting! Thanks.
Love the story. Just let Tina be patient then let Sarah down gently. Everyone knows that Tina and Bette still are very much in love with one another.
