CHAPTER NINE

Were stood outside the door to the planet kissing. Its taken us hours to get here, to even get out of the house. We showered together because we both knew that if Tina showered alone Id end up joining her. Ive changed my outfit countless number of times. Every piece of clothing I put on seemed to turn Tina on even more. I would change my trousers and seconds later theyd lie on the floor too crumpled to wear. But I cant say that I mind. Im just as bad as T. Heavy petting session in the car, all my fault. Mmm Tina hums kissing my cheek. Maybe we should just go back home? She giggles. I stroak the sides of her arms. I want to play our wardrobe game again. Shes dressed in a thin black sweater that slopes down at the front to reveal cleavage, and a denim skirt that cruely seems to deny me the sight of those legs that were wrapped around mine only moments ago. I want her all over again.
We should go inside quickly. I need to learn how to be around you without wanting to rip your clothes off
You had better not She warns playfully. Our lips meet and I trail my tongue across her bottom lip.
Ladies Alice coughs. Alice, Dana, and Shane stand in a line chuckling like naughty school girls. Put her down Tina before you get yourself into trouble
Tina sticks her tongue out. I dont have to put you down right baby? She coos, cuddling up to me.
Of course not I whisper planting a kiss on her lips.
Look at you guys Shane remarks wistfully.
Kissing and groping Dana adds.
Hey shes my wife Im entitled to feel the merchandise Tina protests.
Well lets get you two something to eat. Their in that living off of love phase Alice suggest ushering us inside.
We sit at our usual table, but for once Im not rushing off leaving Tina alone while I spend all day at work. Tina immediately begins chatting to Alice, and Dana. I watch her. I look at Tina and Im so proud of her. Shes practically dragged us through this. Tina is without a doubt the better half of our relationship. I bring my lips to Tinas briefly, pressing a kiss to her temple before reluctantly pulling away. I feel somebody looking at me and I look up to find Shane studying me curiously. For some reason out of all of our friends I think Shane is the most relieved that Tina and I are back together again. She smiles at me, and I smile back.
So Bette and I were talking about taking a holiday Tina begins.
A holiday! Great idea. Im thinking of Italy. Dana, Shane? Alice asks. I grimace. Tina and I never discussed bringing our friends along. I see the flicker of excitement in Tinas eyes at the prospect and then watch it fade into dissapointment.
Actually Al…
I dont like the idea of Italy I pipe in. Ill be tempted by all of that art I add hugging Tina reassuringly. Whatever Tina wants Im going to give her.
So a holiday. Ill have to clear it first Dana says.
Just tell them its a family emergency. A relative passed away or something Alice suggest.
Dana gapes in shock. Alice!
Alice shrugs and rolls her eyes So what kind of a holiday were you thinking of? Hot, cold? Alice asks.
Definately somewhere hot, right Bette?
I gaze at her lovingly. Of course baby. I told you anything you want, no expenses spared She giggles excitedly. I havent seen her this excited since I asked her to marry me. She rewards me with an eskimo kiss and how obvious is it that shes got me eating out of the palm of her hand and she doesnt even seem to know it?
Oh I cant wait! She squeals.We didnt have a very good honeymoon because we didnt have time, so Bette and I are going to make the most of this
A second honeymoon? Are you sure you dont mind us tagging along? Shane asks. I wrap my arm around Tinas neck, and she looks up at me for reassurance.
Of course not, wouldnt be a holiday without you
So where are we thinking then? Alice asks.
Maybe we should let them pick Al Shane points out.
We want somewhere quiet Alice. This is all about relaxation
I hear you Alice assures me.
Tina snuggles closer to me I always wanted to go to Barbados Tina says. When I was in college a friend of mine got taken there by her boyfriend for valentines day. I was so jealous She muses. I smile at her.
Then thats where well go I confirm. She grins kissing me happily.
Oh I cant wait! She squeals hugging me.
Barbados it is then! Alice explains.
Cool Shane comments in her usual calm voice.
And Barbados is secluded right? I want to be able to lay on the beach without being trampled on
Oh absolutely T, you dont want people trampling all over you when youre trying to do the dirty with Bette Alice teases.
Shes right baby The suggestiveness in her tone isnt lost on me, and I find myself squirming in my seat. We are going to have so much fun She whispers into my ear. On the beach, in the sea… She almost growls. I gulp, my cheeks flushing with arousal. We should never have left the house.
Yeah I practically groan. I cough in embarrassment all eyes on my blushing face.
I think were just gonna grab something to eat at home Tina tells them, standing up and pulling me up with her.
Were…were going to spend the day by the pool I grin, clutching Tinas hand.
Right Dana giggles. Tina is insatiable. I just want to make love to her everytime she touches me.
Remember what I said about living off of love Alice calls to our retreating backs. It cant be done!
