I woke up with the sun shining on my face. It was a beautiful morning and I could hear the waves from the beach out side. I looked at my phone 73 missed calls. All from Erica. I noticed the time read 10:30am. I’m guessing she saw the note I left for her.

I washed up. And looked at my self in the mirror. A wife beater and some shorts were just going to have to do.  It’s only for breakfast anyway.

As I was heading down to the living room I noticed Bette laying there on the couch. She looked so peaceful. I figured might as well wake her when coffee is ready.

The Kitchen was huge. It was something you see in a magazine. Everything was well organized. Making it easy to find everything.

The fridge was oddly stocked. She obviously had plans to come to her beach house.

Once the coffee was done to pour myself some and was getting ready to wake the sleeping beauty.

To my surprise she is standing there just staring at me with a huge smile on her face.

“Morning, Bette”

“Morning Tina, slept well?” You could tell she wasn’t fully awake.

“God yes, your mattress is great.”

“You should see the one I have in my room”

“What?”

Did she just say what I think she just said?

“The mattress in my room. Is better.”

I can see her smile even though she’s trying to hide it while pouring some coffee in the mug I had left on the counter for her.

“So tell me Tina, What are you plans in San Francisco?”

“Sight seeing”

“Well you can stay here, and if you don’t mind, I can show you around.”

“Are you sure? I don’t want to impose.” I felt shy. I didn’t want her to know that I did want to stay.

“No, I just came here to get away. And I’m on vacation for 2 weeks.”

I take a seat and watch her stick her head in the fridge.

“You never finished telling me why you jump in front of cars?”

She sticks her head out for a second, and then continues moving things around in the fridge.
