Out of Closet (B&T time-travel romance), Ch. 50, Pt. 2

Chapter 50, Part 2: Lie down, listen, levitate (Bette and Tina continuing reading the diary)

(Previously) Bette pulled Tina into a hug and whispered, “The second time I felt the way I described in my diary was when we finally made love. Only it was more powerful this time, so powerful that I wanted to shout as loud as I could to let the whole world know, ‘I’m in love with Tina Kennard, the most beautiful and adorable woman I’ve ever known’…and believe me, I would do it if you wouldn’t put me into a temporary blissful coma.”

Tina chuckled softly and embraced Bette even tighter, “I love your so much, Bette.”

“I know, baby…believe me, I know. Shall we continue?”

“Sure,” Tina answered, wiping some involuntarily tears. She turned several pages over, moving now to the beginning of the diary, “Let’s go back in time.”

She cleared her throat and continued reading,

May 30, 1875:

“Today was the scariest day of my life. Katie took me to the lake. Oh, it was so beautiful. Dark blue waters were surrounded by trees and blooming flowers. I could hear birds singing and when I looked up I could see the sun rays penetrating through the thick sea of leaves and branches. The oaks we have in that part of the forest are so old and strong and Katie told me that on a stormy night people could hear them whispering, as if some ancient spirits found their resting place inside the trees.

I offer to play hide-and-seek because Katie and I rarely spend time together anymore, now that she’d met David. He is a handsome fellow I suppose but sometimes I hate him…he’s always following Katie around and she’s growing more and more fond of him and spending less and less time with me.

Katie turned her face towards a tree and began counting. I ran as quick and as far away as I could so she wouldn’t find me that easy. I didn’t know how much time passed when I finally stopped. It was getting darker but not because the day was coming to an end. I was getting deeper into the heart of the forest.
