As Bette hurries forward to hold her, Eric walks out of the door.
Eric: So its Bette Porter huh. Have you come to see me ***** my girlfriend?
Bette: You son of a *****!
Bette snarls as she kicks Eric hard on his crotch. Eric yells out in pain as he grabs onto his manhood.
Bette: I want you to remember this as much as what Im telling you now. Tina Kennard is my woman and dont you ever, dare to touch her again, do you hear me, you ***** *****!
Bette removes her coat and wraps it around Tina. Her hand clasps onto Tinas trembling hand and guides her into the lift.

Tina lets out a sharp cry as cold water instantaneously strikes her body. The hard, pulsating spray feels like it is flaying her alive, sending ice cold sparks of pain through her body. Slowly though, the water begins to warm, and her shivering begins to subside. The water helps, beating into her sore muscles, massaging her bruised skin, sluicing down her stomach and thighs. She becomes more and more relaxed, and hangs her head, letting the water beats against her scalp. She slumps down in the corner, quietly crying. After she did not know how long, the water snaps off, and she raises her head groggily. Standing in front of her is Bette.
Bette: Are you alright?
Tina nods sadly.
Bette: Can I hold you?
Bette holds her arms opened, as she gazes into Tina eyes softly to calm her fears. Tina slides over into Bettes enveloping embrace, crying like a baby. She feels like a wounded animal in Bettes arms, needing to be nursed back to life with her love. Bette wraps around Tina tightly, wanting to protect her from every hurt.
Bette: My precious baby.
Bette comforted as she holds Tina closer to her. Tinas sad face makes Bette wishes that she could warm her up on the inside too.
Bette: Just hold onto me, my love. Ive got you.
That night, Bette snuggles Tina close, slowly caressing her hair, as Tina dozes off peacefully in her arms.

The first rays of sunlight dimly lit up the curtains, shedding just enough light for Bette to see Tina. Tinas sweet face looks even more beautiful in the warmth of the morning light. Bette wanted so much to wake her up, so much to tell her how much she loves her.
Bette: I love you, Tee.
Bette could barely hear her own whisper.
Bette: Im going to spoil you rotten.
Bette gently kisses Tinas forehead and she makes her way to the kitchen.

Things start humming in the kitchen and before long, Bette has cooked up an inviting breakfast for two. It is sheer determination that keeps the tray full of eggs and toast and clinking teacups from falling as she makes her way slowly to the bedroom. Bette waves the toast like smelling salts back and forth in front of Tinas nose until she comes to.
Tina: Oh my god, what a wonderful surprise!
Tina could feel her eyes watery. Being served breakfast in bed makes her feel so cherished and loved. Bette smiles. She leans over and gently kisses Tina on her lips.
Bette: Good morning baby.
Tina leans in for another kiss.
They sit up in the bed bumped up against each other like two inseparable pieces of the same a puzzle, and spend the rest of the morning having breakfast in bed.

Tina: I think I love losing myself in your love, Bette.
Tina finishes up the last corner of toast as she speaks.
After Bette removes the empty tray from their legs, Tina feels herself being pulled down into Bettes lap, right where she really wanted to be. The feeling of Bette’s fingers combing through her hair is making her feel so loved inside. Bette bends down and kisses Tinas forehead tenderly. Tina pulls Bettes face towards hers. Her fingers gently and tenderly trace the outlines of Bettes nose, cheeks and eyes. Their lips meet slowly and they begin to kiss very passionately, holding each other, rubbing their hands up and down each other. Bette gently pushes Tina back on the bed and starts to kiss her shoulder, then her neck and chest. Tina puts her head to one side as she feels Bette nuzzles against her throat, feeling her caresses her skin with her tongue and lips. Bette gently raises a knee between her legs. Tina shivers lightly as she feels the light pressure against her crotch.
Bette: Are you sure its okay?
Tina looks up at Bette.
Tina: Come here.
Tina kisses Bette softly, tasting her own flavor on Bettes lips, as she guides Bettes hand down her firm *****. Bette could feel her heart pounding and she breathes harder to catch her breath. Tina moans softly as Bette brushes against her stiff nipples. Bette increases the firmness of her touch, gently squeezing them. Her mouth moves lower and kisses Tinas neck as she gently pulls up Tinas shirt.
Bette: Did he touch you here?
Tina nods in shame.
Bette leans down and begins to kiss her way gently down the trails of the sexual assault on Tinas body, past her navel, all the way down to her waist. Tina gasps, her breathing grow more and more rapid. They slowly make love.

Tina: Im so lucky to have you.
Tina murmurs quietly, breathy, and sexily after they ***** simultaneously.
Bette purrs against her neck, kissing her softly. They touch and stroke each other gently, realizing that this is the way they both want it to be. Wrapped in a warm, lazy, fuzzy haze of smiling contentment, they both hug each other, and drift off into a deep contented sleep.
