Bette had pursed her lips in a half-smile, half-frown, as she gazed back at Tina.  She knew that Tina had had a rough time, and had been extremely supportive of the unusual turn their trip had taken.   She’d been thinking about what to do, when the blonde had broken into her thoughts, “Unless there’s something really special that you’d like to show me?  Or that you’re planning that we could do?”

Bette had smiled then, “Okay, baby. I had planned to salvage at least this part of our plans…make it something that somebody called a “mini-moon,” or a mini-honeymoon.  And yes, there are some things that I had planned for us.  But if…”

Tina had cut in, smiling back at Bette, gratified that her wife was so ready set aside all the things she’d prepared, just to accommodate her.  This was a partnership, right?

“Alright… how about this. If I just can’t shake this feeling after a day or so over there…would it be alright to bag it, re-group, and fly back to New York?”

Tina had added, in a regretful tone, “I’m sorry that I can’t bring myself up to get into it, baby.”

Bette was shaking her head, “T….I was planning on something for us.  But it won’t make any sense if I’m the only one who’ll enjoy it, right?  So, no need for “sorries,” baby.  When we get there, just tell me how you’re feeling, and we can head back, of course, if your heart’s not in it.”

Now, Tina was asking, again.

“We don’t have to, T, if you’re heart’s not in it, as I said back in the plane,” Bette answered, gently kissing her wife.  I love this woman, so.

“I just want to show you…,” Bette was saying.

Tina smiled, cutting in, “I know…I know.  That you love me,” she said softly, returning Bette’s kiss.  And I love you beyond all reason.

They smiled at each other. Tina accepted Bette’s hand as she jumped lightly down from the massage bed.  She gave her wife a naughty smile, “You know this will be easier for us if you let me change in peace, right?”

Bette chuckled, “Right.”

She kissed Tina quickly, then moved to get her camera and other things from the chair, saying over her shoulder as she left the room, “I’ll just have to content myself looking at the shots I took of your sexy body, then.”
