Chapter 12

Bette awoke in such a peaceful state.  For the first time in months, she knew who she was and she knew where she had come from.  The slight movement beside her made her smile.  She always loved to watch Tina sleep and especially after a night of ecstasy like the one they had experienced last night.  She couldn’t remember the last time they had made such sensuous love.  They hadn’t been in a hurry.  It was all about reconnecting and exploring.  They had made love until the wee hours of the morning.  Only stopping when she had almost fallen asleep on Tina, Bette knew Tina would enjoy ribbing her about that.  But it didn’t matter, all that mattered was that they were back together and she had her memory back. 

Tina slowly began to open her eyes and stretch.  “Good morning sleepy head” Bette whispered.

“Who are you calling sleepy head?  If I remember, it was you who couldn’t keep your eyes open last night.”  Tina quickly retorted.

“Truce, how do you feel this morning?”  Bette smiled as she pulled a strand of hair out of Tina’s eyes and put it behind her ear.

Tina stretched again and smiled “I feel WONDERFUL and HUNGRY.  I think we forgot to eat last night or should I say we forgot to eat real food last night.”  Tina giggled.

“Yea, I satisfied one hunger but forgot to feed my stomach. Let’s get up and see if we can get some breakfast.”  They got up and showered separately so they could get to the food faster.  Neither one trusted themselves with the other.  They were like newlyweds again…always touching…steeling glances.  It all seemed so fresh again. 

As they were eating their breakfast, Bette thought about Angie.  “T, when is Kit supposed to bring Angie down here?”

“They were going to fly out this weekend, tomorrow why?”

“Well, I was just thinking now that I have my memory back there really isn’t any reason for me to stay here.  Why don’t we fly home and save them a trip down? I know Kit would rather not fly these days and I really want to just get home.”
