CHAPTER TWELVE

Isnt it amazing how airports can ruin a good mood? When we were driving here I was so excited squealing and giggling like a little girl. But now after checking in our luggage, listening to Alice argue with the man at the desk about how valuable her shoes are and how her suitcases had better not end up in Timbuktu, being forced to sit in these uncomfortable plastic chairs that my trousers stick to, my mood is dropping and quickly. I hate all this waiting around, and Im starting to feel nervous about boarding this plane. I hate planes, Bette is the plane woman Im more of the Id walk if I could type of person.
Alice is flicking through a magazine, huffing and sighing, distracting Dana who is falling asleep beside her. I dont know whats happening between the two of them but their already like an old married couple. Shane is stretched out on a row of seats her eyes chasing the figures of passing women. Marina and Jenny are trying to avoid each other by practically sitting in the same seat. Im sat in Bettes lap playing with her hair . Its a shame Kit couldnt come
Bette nods I know I think she wanted to give us some time alone, shes just happy that were together again
Yeah I know. So are you going to tell me what you have in your suitcase that you wouldnt let me see? I ask my voice lowering.
Nope. Youre just going to have to wait until we get there
I pout But I dont want to wait
Its nothing special T, its something for me thats really something for you She winks.
Like what?
Im not telling you
Bette I groan with frustration. Im bored I need something to think about
She sighs Its just lingerie T, I told you nothing special
My mind immediately starts to think of Bette, this morning, hugging me from behind in nothing but her bra and panties. Then my mind starts to imagine her in whatever shes brought, taking it off slowly. What kind of lingerie?
Granny pants T what kind of lingerie do you think shes talking about? Alice mocks me.
Do you listen to all of our conversations?
Of course I roll my eyes at her.
Leave them alone Al Shane says.
Just out of curiosity Shane, what are you going to wear on the beach?
Nothing She answers non chalantly.
I think thats a good idea Marina purrs, because she always purrs. Words just roll off of her tongue and become erotic. Jennys eyes go wide and she blushes.
I hadnt planned on that Jenny squeaks. Marina glances at her through those long lashes.
Thats the best part you dont need any planning. You just take of your clothes Jenny becomes uncomfortable and I guess thats Marinas mission accomplished.
Well I didnt just spend my hard earned money on a new bikini to go naked Alice comments dryly flicking through the magazine again.
Bette bought me a new bikini I tell them kissing Bette thankfully.
Thats nice T Shane is the only member of our little extended family that is still able to put up with cutesy wutesy Bette and Tina. Alice however is pretending to gag as I think.
Our flight is announced and now I begin to panic a little. Thats us Bette says trying to stand up. I slide off of her lap and we hold hands.
We walk towards the terminal. Oh I dont like planes Jenny groans. I get jet lag very easily
Ill look after you Jenny Marina whispers. Jenny blushes again.
Oh right…thank you Marina smiles her eyes dancing over Jennys worry stricken face.
I know what you mean I always end up sitting next to some irritating drooling stranger Dana pretends to gag.
I cant believe it were really going! I squeeze Bettes hand tighter.
T, baby, I cant feel my hand
Oops sorry babe I bring her hand to my lips kissing it better.
