Chapter Four - The one who holds your heart.. Along the journey of life it possible to love many, each one special and unique. There is friendship, companionship, a confidant, a protector, and lover but there is only one that truly holds you for eternity. When you meet them without question they are your soul mate. They breathe life into your soul, you understand and experience true love. You may separate from them or lose them for a time but you always come back to the one who holds your heart Ring.. ring.. ring.. The sunlight brought pain to Bette's eyes but not as much as the sound of the phone. "Hello.." "Good morning, I know you hate the sound of a loud phone but needed to wake you up" "What time is it Tina?" "Actually it's 10am - I waited because I know you" Tina paused, perhaps she should not say what she knew which is Bette had little sleep. "It's ok T you know me well and thank you" "What time shall I meet you Tina?" "You just get dressed and I will meet you in front of the inn 45 mins" Hanging up the phone was painful and all Bette wanted to do was listen to more of Tina's sweet voice. As she made her way to bathroom she found a note from Kit. Gone to look for antique's. See you this afternoon - be open to hope! Just as Bette stepped outside the Inn Tina pulled up in Jeep Cherokee she turned and smiled. Suddenly Bette 's feet could not move. Was there any other smile likes Tina's? It was like pure sunshine, and for years Bette had not felt the warmth and light of her smile and at this moment she wanted to bathe in it all day. As Tina pulled up she could felt her heart melt even more. Bette looked so tender and vulnerable, a bit uncertain some of the confidence shield down, she was only that way with Tina. Bette hopped in the car not knowing what to do Tina solved that problem with a soft embrace; she stopped to hold Bette's eyes. "Bette, you did not sleep last night so we are going to have a nice relaxing brunch with plenty of strong coffee" Bette's shoulders released in a way of admitting to what Tina was saying without words and she softly said "No, I really did not but if I know you - neither did you" Tina nodded with a half smile "I guess sleep patterns never change" They smiled at one another sweetly and there was no more tension just warmth and comfort. They drove for about 15 minutes, not saying much each gazing out the window but hands resting closely together, not touching but still feeling the warmth of the other person. They pulled into what looked like a park and a small parking lot. There were big lawns and trees bright with color. "This is an amazing little spot" Tina wanted to share the best of the Hollow with Bette. "It looks lovely and I'm starved" Bette said as she was getting out of the Jeep. They started to walk down a lime stone path towards small limestone - cabin looking building with two smoke stakes of smoke lifting out of the chimneys. "I'm glad to see you are driving a good four wheel drive car Tina - I know the roads must get really icy around here in winter" "Oh, Bette forever the protector, thank you for thinking of that it's sweet" The smell of bacon and coffee quickly grabbed Bette's attention. "I smell heaven, otherwise known as breakfast" She looked over and smiled at Tina. Tina's heart was aching looking at Bette's smile. To her and everyone once else in the world there was no smile like Bette Porter's. It was magical, charming, sexy and vulnerable all at once. They were seated at small table in the corner with a view out the window and next to one of the fireplace's, it could not have been more cozy. Breakfast was hearty and tasty and Bette could not recall when she had eaten so much. Tina enjoyed watching Bette relax and enjoy her food she knew this was always a good sign with Bette, that she was comfortable. Bette shared lots of stories of Alice and Dana, Shane and Kit and all the things the gang had been up too. Tina laughed and enjoyed each story and could picture all her old friends clearly. As if on cue they looked at one another in silence, it was time to get more personal - could they? Bette leaned back in her chair, coffee cup in hand and really looked at Tina. Tina felt almost uneasy at the way Bette looked at her - she knew Bette was really looking at her.. "Tina, can I ask again if you are happy?" Tina thought for moment not knowing if this way the right moment to talk about Jessie. "Bette, I'm happy here, I have my shop, friends - seasons.." They both laughed about seasons recalling the way Tina always missed having her North Carolina falls and Bette never missed the Philly snow. "Bette, the question is are you really happy? I've seen some interesting photos in magazine of your life in Rome and L.A." Bette felt surprised that Tina was keeping up with her comings and goings. "Rome has been amazing and I bought a small place between Siena and Florence that is magical" "So I guess we have each found someplace special that makes us happy" It was Tina's turn to sit back and look at her former partner and love - she drank in the vision of Bette.. still stunning and sexy - Miss Porter. "Bette, I'm sorry we lost touch.." "Me too T, It feels strange to know you are in the world and I know nothing about how you are. Tina paused for a moment still not knowing if this was the right time. "I would really like us to be friends Bette.. can we do that?" Suddenly Tina's cell phone rang and she quickly stepped outside to answer which Bette thought was strange. And then it hit Bette like a ton of bricks - Tina has someone new in her lifeof course she has moved on. Bette took a deep breath and thought that she should be prepared to hear the story - a story that would break her heart. Tina walked back in and noticed the darkness that had fallen over Bette, she was trying to play it off but Tina knew her too well. "Bette, do you mind if we stop by my place on the way back into town - I need to check on something really quickly" Tina thought it might be better for her to just meet Jessie in person and get it over with. "Sure Tina, I'd love to see more of the area and where you live" The drive was short but felt like it took forever, Bette could feel her pancakes forming a knot in her tummy and the fake smile on her face was starting to actually hurt. Tina focused on the road and thought the sooner the better, the sooner the better. The pulled up and driveway lined with red, amber and yellow trees. The house was limestone and cottage like - it looked just like someplace Tina would choose. "Welcome to our place" Tina said as they came to the front door. tbc
