Everything in Bette’s office reminded the visitor that they really were in Africa. From the dark hardwood flooring covered with handwoven rugs to the softness and uneven surface of the whitewashed walls inside the room.
There were pieces from all over the African continent, a discreet reminder of her travels as a young girl with her father and later on as a young vet eager to forge a solid experience in wildlife conservation.
Tiki masks from Nigeria, carved candles sticks from Senegal, Maasai carvings of giraffes and elephants and colourful pottery jars were tastefully scattered around the room. The centre piece was a beautiful camel colour leather sofa and matching chairs. Even the door was guarded by a standing buffalo menacing and handsome. The room was warmly lit by old fashion brass lamps which brought a softness to the surroundings. It was inviting and it was especially quiet.
Bette felt very comfortable in her sanctuary. Like the rest of the house, one side of the room was dominated by a large sliding window which opened onto a viewing veranda. From there, Bette had an impregnable view over the vastness of the savannah.
Right at this moment though, the brunette’s eyes were firmly focused on the spinning fan on her ceiling.
The swirling blades, which brought some relief in the already suffocating heat of mid-morning, appeared again and again each time her own rotation on her office chair brought her round to facing her stunning colonial style teak desk.
She had to admit the slow but regular twisting movement of her chair was making her dizzy but she did not want to stop. The dizziness she was experiencing was too much like the feeling which overtook her senses last night when she met the young woman named Tina.
A quick snapping movement of her left hand as it passed the edge of her desk and grabbed it, stopped her dead in her incessant spinning.
She closed her eyes tightly for a few seconds hoping to stop her brain from continuing with the dizzying movement. It subsided after a little while and the vet re-opened her eyes.
With a sigh, she reached for the ball point pen which she had earlier abandoned to start her childlike merry-go-round.

Thank you for the reward :-)very appreciated.Have a great time away, recharge your battery for more stories.I am going to read this again and come back lol.Thank you for posting I cannot wait to see a lion running after Jodie to the airport!!
hahaha I’m with mariam let the lion bite her ass! lol This is great! And what a way to end it! Bette must be like “holy shit!” PPS I LOVE THIS STORY!
I could think of so many words to substitute for “audit” in that last sentence! Thanks for the chapter…better choice than packing. Have a great trip!
I vite for the baby elephant running Jodi out of town. Thanks for posting before your trip,greatly appreciated. Have a good ti.me.
Bette and Tina are cute, of course, but I think Maralal just became my favorite character. ;-)
Ah, they meet again! Great story, thank you for fitting it in. I love elephants almost as much as I love Tibette so you really got to me.
Oui. Thanks for this great chapter, I liked all its actors, from Maralal to the audit. Tibette dreamt and thought about each other, now I’m looking for Bette’s reaction at this surprise audit. Knowing the Alpha she is, it’s not going to sit very well with her. I’m sure Tina’s not going to take a backseat so that’s going to be a good promise for sparkles……. The weather’s getting better. Have a nice trip and séjour, Bienvenue.
Such a heartwarming, unique story..I enjoy your writing so much! Have a safe trip and I look forward to the continuation of this amazing story!
Oh Oh…”to audit”…Damn… but in all account [no pun intended.] At least they got the chance again, to really know each other. And what your writing in here about the “Elephants” behavior..It’s really true. And did you know that they are the only animals. who buried their dead? I’ve seen in Natgeo, that they even have a..some kind Funeral march?…So it’s really sad ..as majestic as they are .. ..They have no power if we humans..want to eliminate them.. …thanks for the chap K40.
Absolutely excellent. Can’t wait to see what happens. And I’m with Mariam let the lion just bite Jodie’s bum :) Thank you for this story.
Awww Kins, my bark is worse than my bite, but I still want jodie eaten by a lion or something major happen to get her the hell out of Africa and away from our girls. Hope you have a wonderfully relaxing and restful time away. Hope the girls will enjoy their time together when they are not working on the books. Maybe Tina will let Bette show her around the site, her own personal tour guide if you will. Thanks for posting.
You make me feel like packing my bags and going to Savannah. Any chance of a Tibette sighting?
Audits are lengthy, meticulous processes… and time-consuming. Which means there will be plenty of opportunity for these two to get to know each other, right? ;) Thanks for the post :)
SO GOOD
Have a good time and thank you for such a great story.
Wow, that was something! I loved ur update but u left us hanging now :( !
Throughly enjoyable! From the chair spinning to the baby elephant tantrum to the arrival of auditor Tina Kennard. I love this story so much. Post when you can.
What an unique and enjoyable story. I love the descriptions of the animals and their interactions w/the humans.
And by “audit” I mean “seduce.” That was what the part you left off, right k40? =)
Ugh..! Such a cliffy! Did you purposely end the chapter there Kins40?! >_< You don't have to do that kind of trick to keep me on my toes waiting for your latest update, I always one of many who is looking forward to your posting ;-) he3.. It's cute that Bette just automatically correcting Shane while she seems not so care of the conversation :-p and Kins! Your educational info about raising a pet.. Oops! I meant ELEPHANT ;-) is very informative! :-) and somehow it reminds me on how cute is baby elephant!! Lol.. Well regarding the club, it has a member get a member offer with a life time supply of Tibette loves.. :-D and to make your story merrier, (though i know you won't need it ;-)) I think there can be an extra bonus of someone being chased or bitten or harmed by member of animal kingdom as Mariam, T24, wkm, and favcouple mentioned.. And for this, the list of that special treatment can be longer per se and I promised there's no animal harmed during the process. ;-) Anyway Kins, enjoy the getaway!! :-) please remember to come back here later ;-) cheers!
….PS – Love your cliff hanger!
Hahahahah – Tina thought Bette was the bartender…Even more priceless – “Tina Kennard, Wilson & Smyth Chartered Accountants, I am here to audit you.” How unceremonious can one get !?! Poor Bette… (LMAO!). Kins, didn’t know you had such a wicked sense of humor too ;) ** Thanks for the ‘bonus’ post before you head off for holiday. Hope you both have a wonderful time :)
