I borrowed a scene from my other story for this one. It fits better in this one anyhow. Here you are…



Bette was sitting in her office many hours after the lunch with the hot temptress Carmen and found herself unable to get any work done the closer it came to seven. Some large part of Bette couldnt believe that someone like Carmen would be interested in someone like her. It was a complete mystery is what it was. Bette didnt get younger woman who were attracted to her, take that back she did get younger woman who were attracted to her, but none as intriguing as Carmen de la Pica.

Looking over at the clock Bette saw that it was five thirty.

***** this, she commented under her breath and turned off her computer and grabbed her stuff and was out the door in minutes

She went up to James desk.

You going home, he asked seeing all of her stuff

Yeah I cant concentrate here and need to go home.

Is that what you want me to tell Franklin?

For all I care you can tell him to kiss my *****, Bette remarked with a small smile

Ill tell him that you are going to work from home, James remarked with a smile of his own

Yeah that sounds better doesnt it?

James just grinned at this, Get out of here already so I can make that phone call.

So bossy. Wherever do you get that from, Bette asked with a wide grin

I havent the faintest.

See you tomorrow James.

Night bossy lady.

Bette got into her car and drove home. It was six by the time that she pulled into her driveway and two hours before Carmen would come. Going into the house she dropped all of her stuff down on the couch and heaved a sigh. Before she were to start getting ready there was something that she had to do first.

Walking over the house next door she knocked on the front door. After a moment Mark opened the door.

Is Shane here, Bette asked before the guy could say anything

She is come in.

He opened the door wider allowing Bette to step inside the house closing the door behind her. Bette tended to get a creepy feeling around Mark and she wasnt really sure why. The filming thing was weird but it was more than that. Currently Mark was standing before her staring at her.

Can you go and get Shane or do you want to stare at me a little longer?

Smiling slightly at this he went off to get Shane. Weird. Bette remained standing in the living room and a moment later Shane came out of another room.

Hey Bette shouldnt you be at work, Shane asked dropping down on to the couch

I ditched work, Bette replied sitting on the edge of a chair near the couch, I wanted to talk to you.

Sounds heavy. Whats up?

Are you over Carmen now? I mean really, truly over her?

Why do you ask, Shane asked with a furrow of her brow

Please just answer the question.

Shane thought a moment, Yeah, I am. I realize now I had idealized our relationship in my head. I know we arent meant to be. Why do you ask, she repeated

Bette took a breath, Because Carmen and I are going out on a date tonight.

Raising an eyebrow at this Shane spoke, You two are going out?

Yes, I just wanted to make sure it was okay with you.

What about Tina?

What is it with all of you, Bette exclaimed getting to her feet, Tina is allowed to move on but Im not? What is that? Its a weird assed double standard is what it is, she commented answering her own question,, Its been a long time Shane. How long am I supposed to wait for her to come around before I move on with my life?

These words surprised Shane because she wasnt really expecting that vehement of a reaction out of Bette.

Dont you still love her?

Bette sat back down on the chair, Of course I do, but thats not the issue anymore. Ill always love her. I need to move on. We all, she said with a circle of her hand meaning everyone, Need to move on.

B for you, you know Ill try. It is a little strange you going out with Carmen, but its cool. Youd make a pretty hot couple actually.

Bette rolled her eyes at this, If you say so.

I do. What are you going to where?

I have no idea.

Before either of them could speak further Bettes cell phone rang.

Hello.

Hey there hot stuff, came the voice of Carmen

Well hey yourself. Whats up?

I just called your office and James said you went home. Everything okay?

Everything is fine I just couldnt concentrate on work anymore.

Did I get you that hot and bothered at our lunch?

Bette laughed at this, Yeah thats it.

Listen I wanted to call and tell you to where something hot.

Hot, Bette repeated, I dont know if I have anything hot but I can probably find something.

You are a very smart woman I have complete faith in you.

Why thank you. Where are we going?

Not telling.

Tease.

Oh you dont know how much Elizabeth Porter.

A chill went down Bettes spine at Carmen using her full name, Ill see you later then, she managed to squeak out fully aware that Shane was watching her with a smirk

Carmen laughed, Im hoping youll see all of me later, was her parting remark as she disconnected from the line

Bette stared in open mouthed surprise at the phone in her hand a moment before snapping it shut.

You okay B?

Oh what that woman does to me.

She wants you to where something hot?

Bette nodded her head.

What time is she picking you up?

Eight.

Shane smiled at this and Bette got a strange feeling.

Oh I think I should be scared of that look, she remarked

No, no we are going to go out and find you a dress that will knock Carmens figurative socks off.

This wont be too weird for you?

Nah, itll be fun and you should let me do your hair.

Whats wrong with my hair?

Shane rolled her eyes this time, I didnt say anything was wrong with your hair. I just said you need to let me do you hair.

Oh sorry trying to work on that defensive streak.

Hows that going for you, Shane remarked standing up and grabbing her wallet

Pretty good.

The two left the house and went over to Bettes house so she could grab her purse and then they got into the SAAB and took off. They had looked through two clothing store and Bette was currently in a fitting room trying something on.

Shane was sitting in a chair outside of the fitting rooms.

Come on B we dont have all day here. Get out here.

I cant wear this, Bette called

Of course you can. Get your ***** out here, Shane exclaimed smiling at the husbands or boyfriends of girls in the fitting room as they looked at her

Okay fine but you have to tell me how you really feel?

Dont I always.

Good point. Okay here I come.

Bette walked out of the fitting room and stood in front of Shane. Shanes mouth dropped open in awe as did the jaws of the men sitting around them.

Was this the look we were going for, Bette asked a little self consciously

Damn B I want to jump you right now.

Me too, a younger guy near Shane commented, Sorry, he remarked blushing

Its so the look that we were going for, Shane said to Bette, Get changed to that you can buy that thing. We have like an hour to get your ready for your big date.

Nodding Bette went back into the dressing room. Shane turned and saw the guys staring after Bette.

Sorry guys she plays for the other team, Shane remarked with a shrug

Damn!


~0~


Shane was sitting in Bettes bedroom as Bette was brushing her teeth.

You know those guys at the store were totally hot for you.

Oh really, Bette remarked coming out in her bathrobe

Yes really.

Well it wasnt them Im trying to impress.

Shane stood up and motioned toward the chair she had set up in front of Bettes dresser which had a large mirror on it. Sitting down Bettes eyes went to Shane.

What do you have planned for me my dear Shane?

Shane took out the clip holding Bettes hair up and the wet tresses fell to just pass mid back.

Damn Bette I had no idea your hair was so long. This is good.

Bette furrowed her brow at this, How is that good?

Shane smiled mischievously in the mirror.

It has something to do with ***** doesnt it, Bette asked with a roll of her eyes

See you already know what I where I was going with this. I think we need to get your hair as straight as possible.

Youre the maestro.


~Later~


Carmen pulled up in front of Bettes house as not to block in Bettes car and sat trying to reign in her breathing for a moment. She could do this. Carmen took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. She hadnt even seen Bette and she was already hot for her. Getting out of the car she grabbed her bag and went up the walk.

Knocking on the door she waited for it to be opened and when it was her jaw dropped in absolute awe. Bette was standing before her in a lavender number that left very little to the imagination. It had a tight halter style top that showed off some ample cleave leaving her midriff bare, a long skirt much like the one shed worn earlier having slits clear up to her thighs. Strappy sandals finished off the ensemble. Her hair was straight and down around her back and shoulders having a slightly tussled look about it. She looked absolutely freaking hot!

Bette too was in awe of the woman before her. Carmen was wearing a red dress that was free and flowing that stopped just above her knees. It showed off some very nice cleavage and if Carmen were to turn around you would see the entire expanse of her bare back. Her hair was in an elaborate up do with wisps down around her face.

You look hot, Carmen managed to stutter after a moment of staring at Bette

That was the look I was going for, Bette smiled giving Carmen a once over again, My date told me that I needed to look hot. You are damn hot yourself.

Thank you, Carmen remarked blushing slightly, Your date must have something great in mind.

I wouldnt know she didnt tell me. Would you like to come in while I turn off some things.

Sure, Carmen stated stepping into the house and closing the door

Bette was about to go into the house when Carmen grabbed her around the waist, pushed her up against the door and kissed her with an arduous passion that neither could quite contain any longer.

We need… kiss, To go… kiss, Dinner…

Was all Bette was able to get out as Carmen sucked on her tongue.

What if I want dessert first, Carmen said breaking from the kiss and licking the side of Bettes neck making her gasp

Im all for that, Bette remarked with a squeak as Carmen bit down on her earlobe, But I havent eaten since lunch and we didnt even…eat that much.

Carmen reluctantly pulled away from Bette and nodded her head.

We wouldnt want you wasting away now would we?

No we wouldnt.

Carmen pulled herself away from Bettes luscious body and allowed her to get passed her. Bette went around the house and made sure everything was turned off. Once done she took the offered hand that Carmen gave her and together they left the house.

We can take your car, Carmen remarked, Ill just give you directions to where were going.

Sounds good, Bette remarked opening the passenger door for Carmen and closing it after she gotten in, Did I mention you look hot tonight?

I think you may have mentioned that but thank you.

You are very welcome.

They drove to a new place in town that was both a restaurant and dance club. It was mostly a ***** bar but anyone could come.

This is an excellent choice, Bette remarked as she and Carmen went inside

I thought youd like it.


~Meanwhile~


Why did I ever agree to this, Shane exclaimed as she walked behind Alice who was slinking or trying to in the dark to not be seen by Carmen and Bette while she and Dana were walking more sedately behind her

Same reason I did Shane, Dana remarked, To keep this one out of trouble.

Hey I resent that. Not all of my plans get me in trouble.

Just most of them, Shane said with raised eyebrows

Shut up there they are, Alice whispered flattening herself against a car seeing Bette and Carmen go into the club, Damn Porter looks hot.

Dana raised an eyebrow at this, Oh really?

Alice glanced at Dana and rolled her eyes, Yes very hot. Dont you think so?

Dana blushed slightly at this, Yeah.

I told her I wanted to jump her when she came out of the dressing room in that dress, Shane offered

Both Dana and Alice glanced at Shane.

What?

You helped Bette pick out a dress for her date with your ex, Alice asked in slight disbelief

Shane shrugged, Im cool with it.

Weird, Alice muttered under her breath as the three more calmly walked into the club

The hostess at the front offered to show them to a table but Alice waved that off. The three girls went into the club. The dance club was on the top floor and you could see down into the dining room from a balcony. Together they girls went and looked over the balcony. After searching for a moment they spotted their targets almost directly below them.

Wow I can see down her dress from here, Alice commented of Bette, Damn still the way I remember.

Dana slapped Alice upside the head, What? I meant her hands.

That received another slap.

Ouch stop that.

You walked into that Al, Shane stated with a crooked smile

Shut up.


~Dinning Room~


You do know that the others are looking at us from the dance floor right, Carmen asks

Bette smiles and shifted in her seat slightly making the view of her cleavage from above even better, I do know.

Carmen started coughing at seeing even more of those amazing ***** and took a sip of her water while Bette just grinned at her.

What was it about me that first attracted you, Bette asked of Carmen

Carmen cocked her head to the side and gazed at Bette for a moment, I think it was your vulnerability.

Vulnerability?

Yeah, Carmen nodded, You exuded this confidence whenever you walked into a room but just under the surface there was this…aching need for acceptance by those around you. This attracted me.

Bette smiled at this, I like that.

What first attracted you to me?

Your *****.

Carmen laughed at this, Really?

Not just that, it was your…kindness. You are kind to everyone you meet whether they are pissing you off or not. I find that *****.

***** huh?

Very.

After a wonderful dinner the two gals decided to go up to the club and dance off some of those calories they had just consumed. Alice, Shane and Dana scurried to a dark corner as not to be seen.

Damn those two are hot together, Dana exclaimed

Amen to that, Shane remarked in awe

Eh, Alice responded getting looks from her two companions

Alice sighed heavily.

Fine they are extremely ***** hot together. Happy.

Ecstatic, Shane commented completely deadpan as she watched Bette and Carmen dance

I didnt know Bette could bend that way, Dana commented tilting her head slightly

Dana and Alice did the same.

Damn she must be hot in the sac, Shane answered, Alice?

Oh yeah.

She received a slap upside the head from Dana.

Ow, youre going to give me brain damage Dane. How come you didnt slap Shane? She started it.

Youre within easy reach, Dana answered as she was standing on the right side of Alice and Shane was on Alices left side

The three watched Bette and Carmen dance together. Slow dances, fast dances, damn near having ***** on the dance floor dances and everything in between. They were watching a hot dance when they heard a voice.

Hey guys what are you doing hiding in the corner, Tina asked as she and Helena came up to them

Hey Tina, the three chorused

Beat.

Tina, Alice, Dana and Shane exclaimed in surprise

What?

What are you doing here, Alice asked

The same thing you are, Tina answered

Oh I doubt that, Shane muttered

What was that, Tina asked Shane

Oh nothing. Its freaking weird to see you two here huh?

Oh immensely, Helena answered

The three women had to reign in the urge to slap Helena upside the head. Dana glanced at the dance floor and saw Bette and Carmen kissing, passionately.

Oh my, was her immediate reaction

What, Shane and Alice commented following Danas gaze

Ooh, said Alice

Tina and Helena followed the gazes of the women in front of them and saw what they saw. Tinas mouth dropped open in shock.





TBC…just so you know I haven’t decided if B/T get back together in this particular story. I’m leaning toward no. I’m still going to get rid of Helena though and Mark even in later chaps. Now I’m off to work on part 10 of Bette Forgets.
