Tina’s eyes fill with tears as Bette sang the song while they danced, holding each other close. Tina always thought Bette had the sexiest speaking voice she’d ever heard but her a capella singing voice was truly amazing. She’d already experienced a lot of firsts with Bette and this was another one. She’d never been serenaded before.

To really love a woman, to understand her
You gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought, see every dream
An’ give her wings when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin’ helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her, that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
’Cuz she needs somebody
To tell her that it’s gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman?
Yeah

To really love a woman, let her hold you
Til’ you know how she needs to be touched
You’ve gotta breathe her, really taste her
Til’ you can feel her in your blood
An’ when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
’Cuz she needs somebody
To tell her that you’ll always be together
So tell me have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman?

Oh
You’ve got to give her some faith, hold her tight
A little tenderness, you gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin’ good care of you
You really gotta love your woman, ya

And when you find yourself lyin’ helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
’Cuz she needs somebody
To tell her that it’s gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman?
Yeah

Just tell me have you ever really
Really, really, ever loved a woman?
Oh
Just tell me have you ever really
Really, really, ever loved a woman?

Bette finished singing the song and looked deeply into Tina’s eyes. Her feather like touch was soft and light on Tina’s lips and face as she kissed the tears away. Tina captured Bette’s lips and deepened the kiss. Bette immediately opened her mouth to taste Tina’s sweetness. They tongue wrestle for a while each one trying to take control of the other and neither giving in. Tina ends the kiss and this time she is the one that just stares into Bette’s eyes. Tina smiles a most dazzling smile and her eyes sparkle from the tears. When she looked at this woman she couldn’t hate Jodi for what she did or she might never have met Bette Porter.
