Rescue Me, Chapter 51

“What the fuck is she talking about Elle,” quizzed Eric.

Elle glared straight into Bette’s eyes.  Bette responded with a smile.  Tina stood by and smirked. “This is getting interesting,” she thought to herself.

“Bette you are such a fucking bitch.”

“What’s the matter Elle, didn’t you tell Eric about me?  I’m crushed.”

“Fuck you Bette.”

“Sorry Elle, not interested.  Been there, done that, I don’t need a mind fuck like you.”

Elle draws back her right arm and tries to slap Bette, but Tina stops her.

“Oh know you don’t Barbie.  If you try to touch her I’ll break you arm in three places,” warns Tina.

“I wouldn’t push her if I were you Elle, she’s got her game face on,” says Bette.

“Son of a bitch,” says Eric.  “I cannot fucking believe this.  Is this true Elle?”

“Eric I can explain.”

“I can’t believe you are a fucking dyke.”

“Eric I AM NOT GAY.”

“Yeah Eric, that’s what she told me when she left me after fucking me for three years,” said Bette matter-of-factly.

“Three fucking years,” shouted Eric.

“Yes it was three years of a lot of fucking,” said Bette.

“Fuck you Bette!”

“As I stated before Elle…”

“Shut up Bette” screamed Eric.

“Well, I guess our work here is done Babe.  Shall we go,” said Tina to Bette.

“I think you’re right T.  Let’s be on our way.  I here desert calling my name.”

“I think desert will be screaming your name, said Tina with a wink and a snigger.

“What the fuck.  Where do you think you are going Bette,” asked Elle.

“I’m taking my lover and future wife home to make slow sweet love to her.  Oh and by the way, I’ll be finishing Med School by the end of the year.  I’m going to be specializing in emergency medicine, so if you don’t want me to treat you when you cut up or overdose again; I suggest you avoid using Community Medical Center for your emergency care needs.”

Bette and Tina turned, got in their car and drove away leaving a stunned and angry Eric arguing with a shocked and embarrassed Elle.

“Bette?”

“Yeah T?”

“What you said back there; are you really going to finish Med School?”

“Yup, I already spoke with dean of academic affairs and he assured me I have enough credits and I tested out high enough to finish with the December class.  I should be starting my internship in the emergency department in mid-January.  I was going to wait and surprise you with the news in bed, but I just couldn’t resist dropping that bomb on both of them.  Will you forgive that indulgence?”

“I will if you make it up to me properly.”

“And how might that be Dr. Kennard?”

“I think you will have to prove to me you are truly ready to be a doctor by performing a thorough physical on me when we get home.”

“I think I’m up for that challenge Dr. Kennard.”

“I don’t know Porter; I can be a pretty demanding proctor.”

“I like it when you’re demanding T.  Especially when you demand that I make you scream my name.”

“You are incorrigible Porter.”
